Milwaukee Express and Ice Shack play the second game of their season series this Sunday at 5:15 at the friendly confines of the Ozaukee Ice Center north rink.

Last time out, amidst all the commotion around Alan Kimmel and his bobblehead, the two teams skated to a tie in regulation, with Ice shack winning in the shootout.

Similar to last time, Express is coming off a big win against Gecko, and Ice Shack is coming off a big loss to Entech.

"They've got a lot of talent on that team," said MKE Express executive vice president of coachspeak Seth Levine.  "We just have to take it one game at a time.  One shift at a time.  One shot at a time.  You score on zero percent of the shots that you don't take.  If we play a full 60 minutes, we should have a chance to have some success.  At the end of the day, it is what it is.  We get some goal scorer's goals in those dirty areas, and give 110%, we should be able get the two points."

Despite not being asked to continue, Levine did.

"See, if we have a full team effort, we'll get all the bounces, and be able to avoid any upper-body or lower-body injuries.  Win some battles along the boards, create some traffic in front of the net, and just have a higher level of compete than the other guys.  That's what we need to do."

I asked Levine if that's the way he always talks.  He said no..."just in front of the morons in the hockey media."

"How about I break it down for you like this.  Here's the gameplan.  Stop Kimmel, stop Darling, and above all else....stop Featherstone."
