Wings Wranglers Thunder Thunder has to recover quickly for game with OKC .Wichita was whistled for 86 penalty minutes and had its worst offensive outing in Wednesday's loss to San Antonio. Wichita could pull out of last place with a pair of victories. However, the Thunder is playing with a short-handed lineup due to injuries. There's a lot of pride on the line.
Tonight is the first meeting of the season between Wichita and Oklahoma City.
The Blazers edged the Thunder 3-2 in the first round of the playoffs last season to end Wichita's season. The Thunder took Thursday off to recoup from the bus ride from San Antonio. Wichita, which played only 12 skaters, was whistled for a league-high 86 penalty minutes. Both Travis Clayton and Bruce Ramsay were ejected with game misconducts. We were short and didn't plan on playing rough.
