Game 33: Brahmas at Oilers

The Brahmas are first in their division. Nice. Tulsa is last in their division. Doubly nice. It should be an easy (or at least easier) game for the Brahmas.

The Brahmas are 20-9-3 (or 20-12, adjusted) and have a two point lead over Laredo. Three of the top four players are positive and Rouleau is just two points under. Not bad at all. The Brahmas are 1-1 against the Oilers this season.

What I can't believe is how the Oilers have a guy with 45 pionts and is negative by four. Tulsa is 9-17-4 (or 9-21, adjusted) and in the CHL, they are the second worst team, being only better than Amarillo by two points.

Jaeger is better than St. Pierre. His GAA is by far better and the save percentage is much better, too. This is how you have a guy with 45 points and is still in the negative.
Forecast: Brahmas take out the Oilers with a 5-1 margin.
