the Warriors top players are dead tired and it showed last night as they only played for 20mins.
Tonight our Pats should end the Warriors hopes of playoffs and what a lovely feeling that will be as a Pats fan
Attendance supposedly is approaching 5500 for tonight. Go Pats Go!! The Pats are only 2 points behind their first place total from last year. We are only tasting the beginning of hockey greatness in Regina!
I drove to MJ from Regina with 2 buddies last night. After the first 2/3rds of 1st period, I thought Pats were doomed , down 3-0. But the Pats are a very different team this season and don't quit. Very entertaining game and I really hope Pats new ownership expand their rink food in the way Moose Jaw did. Food choice and quality MUCH better in the Jaw (I have Pats season tickets, so I know all too well the Pats rink food).
The Pats have no affect on the food at the Brandt. All Evraz, not a penny to the Pats
Good to know , thanks for the reply.
