Not bad, Wranglers.

Not bad.

Second in the league, top of the Pacific Division, andc with players in the top four across the league in points. Ya, they’re off to a strong start.

The Wranglers are a sparkling 7-1 this season, with Rory Kerins and Clark Bishop leading the Herd with their no-quit, play-hard mentality.

“I think we’re doing a lot of things well that we’ve talked about,” said Head Coach Trent Cull. “The group deserves a lot of credit, they’ve grasped the idea of how we want to play.”

Down To The Wire

Clark Bishop has been quite the hero for the Wranglers twice in a row during their double-header against the Colorado Eagles.

In both games, the team trailed the Eagles 2-0 and 1-0, respectively, in the first periods while managing to tie it up or be one behind heading into the third.

In Friday’s game, Bishop was able to pull off a shot in front of the net, throwing himself in the air to get around the traffic with 5:30 to play.

History repeated itself in Sunday’s game when Bishop scored the game winning goal with 1:30 remaining, sending the puck to the back of the net from the slot.
