Plenty of Nothing

About Oji Eagles

Oji Eagles, 1926. Source.

The Oji Eagles ice hockey club was founded in 1925, making it a year younger the Boston Bruins, and a year older than the New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks. Throughout its existence it has been owned by Oji Paper Company, headquartered in Tomakomai, Hokkaido.

The club has been extremely successful in Japanese hockey competitions. The Eagles have won the All Japan Championship 37 times in 87 years. They were champions of the Japan Ice Hockey League 13 times in its 37-year existence, and have won the Asia League playoffs three times in 15 years. They have rarely suffered a losing season or a goal difference in negative numbers.

They have worn a variety of uniforms through the years -- which you can see  here --but the classic design is the one they used during the JIHL years, modelled on the red and blue Montreal Canadians uniform.

Oji Eagles' home rink is Hakucho Arena in Tomakomai. It can hold about four thousand spectators.

Their greatest rivalry has long been with Nippon Paper Cranes, another Hokkaido club attached to a paper manufacturer. But the rivals may have just played their last match on Feb 19th, as Nippon Paper is getting out of the hockey business.

Morton host Queen of the South. It's the third meeting between these two. So far Morton have a win and a draw.

The situation: QoS are sixth and Morton seventh in the table. Both have 30 points. Both are 7 points out of the promotion playoffs and 6 points out of the relegation playoffs. Both need a win very badly. Winner of tonight's game can move into fifth place if Dumfermline lose or draw.

Stephen Dobbie has 38 goals in all competitions this season.

1951-52: On February 27th, 1952, Morton travelled to Cathkin Park where they were beaten 3 - 1 by Third Lanark. 1952 was a leap year, so the Saturday games will be out of sync with 2019's Saturdays for the rest of the season.

Inverness

It's Inverness CT versus Morton.

ICT are fourth with 33 points, Morton sixth with 30. ICT are the better goalscorers with 33 to Morton's 25, and also a bit better defensively with 29 goals allowed to Morton's 32. Head to head this season ICT are in front with a win and a draw in two meetings. Morton's last win in Inverness came a year ago tomorrow.

2018-19 is two-thirds over. Morton have 7 wins, 9 draws and 8 losses, putting them on track to finish with 45 points, which would be equal to 1996-97, worse than 14 other seasons since 1994 and better than 9.

The Championship has separated into two packs. The leaders are Ross County, Ayr United and Dundee United, any of whom could win the division. Then comes a 9-point gap. The teams from fourth place to tenth are grouped together in a ten-point range from 33 points down to 23. All of them have to worry about relegation, even Inverness. And all of them have a shot at fourth place, even Alloa. Going into today's play ICT, QoS, Morton, Dunfermline and Partick each have 7 wins.

Would 45 points be enough to evade the relegation zone?

Since the 3-point win came in, no team with 45 points has been relegated, except in cases of insolvency. But Stranraer were demoted from the Second Division with 44 points at the end of the 2002-03 season.

Would 30 points be enough?

No. Alloa are on track for 33 points, Falkirk 36, Partick 37.

However, Morton have already done better than their worst season of the 3-point-win era, 2013-14, when they finished with 26 points.
