Sunday

According to swehockey.se, today's Elitserien match between Linkopings and Sodertalje was postponed due to issues with the AXA Sports Arena. No rescheduled date has been announced as of yet.

There's no Thanksiving in Finland where Karri Ramo and HPK defeated KalPa today 4-2. The 19 year old netminder stopped 28 of 30 shots for the victory and was named second star of the game. Karri's back to back starts for HPK since returning from his knee injury seem to indicate he has retained his starting role for the club despite missing about a month rehabilitating. Ramo's record now improves to 3 wins, 1 loss and 3 shutout losses on the season.

Bolt Prospects would like to wish a safe and happy Thanksgiving to its readers.

I'd like to also personally extend holiday thanks to Chad, Tim, Joe, Erik and the the rest of the Bolt Prospects staff.

This is a tough one...
