The Band is Getting Back Together

That's right folks. Tonight's Red Army lineup will bear a striking resemblence to the squad of old. Lacing up the skates tonight for the first time in months, fan favorite Mark Hendricks will face off with Mother Russia against the Indy's. Mark will join his brother Peter, who resigned with the team last week after opting out of his spanish class. As the age-old adage goes, "Once you go Russian, you never go back to spanish class." Now lets see if they can provide some offense and get a good game from their gOLE!

Speaking of offense, the Red Army is averaging just under 4.5 goals a game. Defensively they are allowing on average about 6 goals a game. With Mark back in the lineup, we can expect both of these numbers to increase.

Contrary to last season, the Red Army has won this year. They currently rank 5th in their division with a record of 3-3-2. The Indy's, who won the only matchup this season by nine goals, are 3rd with a 5-3 record. Tonight mother russia looks to close that gap and inch closer to home rubber advantage.

UPDATE:
I just got in touch with Steve Hand who said he is really excited about tonight. "I am really excited about tonight." The forward went on to say.
Andy Schram called me this afternoon to talk about something, but my phone was low on batteries and I was going through a tunnel.
