The Pats host Game 3 on Tuesday looking to get back into the series. Faceoff is 7:00 pm on 620 CKRM (Press Box Sports Bar Pregame Show at 6:35 pm).
Oh-OHHH!!
One comment after the first game on here was that Brandon's power play was weak. Hmm, last night they scored all 5 goals on the power play so that tells me that the Pats "Power Kill" is extremely weak. So unless the Pats stay out of the Sin Bin this series will be over real quick.
Looks like the refs are going to hand this series to brandon.
If Daniel Wapple does not start to get his performance up the season will be over. The team can only do so much but he has not come up with a solid performance in the first two games. I guess it is time for players to be challenged on their accountability so lets start at goaltending. Players are starting to take stupid penalties and it seems that there discipline has gone out the window. Someone needs to take the leadership roll to get this team back on track and it must start with our older players to get the job… Read more »
It's looked like a men against boys contest. There has been a ton of mistakes made by all players so to lay the blame on one is brutal. The scoring chances that the Pats have given up has been likely in the 70-80% of the shots they've given up. This series has simply exposed the current make up of the team. Brandon is dictating the play and isn't challenged in the Pats zone. There has been an unacceptable amount of odd man situations and way too many free lanes to the net. There is no free pass for any of… Read more »
What do you have to do to get an interference major? What happened there?
So does anyone still think the Pats have a chance ?
It's over, but the Pats made huge strides for their dominance next year and the year after that.
I do.
Yeah, it's the refs fault. Uh huh. Don't think so.
Did you even watch the game?
It's always the refs fault in Saskatchewan. Better send emails to the league just like the Riders fans do …. lol
More like it's always the refs' fault in Manitoba. All the bomber fans did last season was whine about how the refs handed those 3 wins to the riders that they earned against Winnipeg… wah wah wah!
do they still have a chance? i thought you had to win four to win a series?
Has anyone ever seen Kelly Mccrimmon ever lose the battle of the referees. He plays them like a fiddle.
The Pats should just shake hands and concede after 3 …… like they do in curling
Wow that's a pretty embarrassingly low attendance!
Regina had a better chance of beating Brandon last year, how is this progress? Media hype.
I attended both games in on the weekend. Neither team played great on Friday IMO. Plus the ice was terrible and the puck was bouncing all over the place.
The refs was terrible on Saturday night but it was terrible both ways. I don't believe either team would have been happy with the refs.
Jordan Papirny 2 – Daniel Waffle 0. We are seeing very quickly which is the better goalie and which one Rod should rather see in net.
i find it very laughable that there are fans who are actually blaming Wapple for these 2 losses…. sure he hasn't been as sharp as we come to expect but by no means are either of these games his fault… has anyone seen how many slot chances we have given up? what about all the odd man rushes that are coming against us?
He has been keeping the games at a respectable number in terms of goals against.
Brandon is showing their skill set, you can not give them an inch or they will make you pay….
