Oh boy those warriors sure looked hot last night!!! Bahahaha! Raiders in 6!!!
Yorke didn't get ejected, Hunter Warner got ejected FYI.
Home ice in hockey is irrelevant nowadays. Teams are too prepared, they travel better, and the biggest factor of all rinks are too cozy. There are zero hostile environments in major junior hockey anymore and teams themselves rarely play with any hostility.
Come to P.A. April 1st baby and find out!
Live in Regina so watched the game on Shaw. The game was alright but you should feel ashamed Moose Jaw. The place looked empty. You are up two games to none and can't sell out your barn. Especially on a week where the kids are out of school so don't use the excuse of the game ending to late for the little warriors. I am a pats fan; but also a hockey fan in general. I think you have a great team so why not spend some money to support your team. Good luck in game 4 and for the… Read more »
Hey Pats Fans- I am not quick to hold judgement on the number of empty seats in MJ last night. I hear there are many seats still available for the next two nights in Regina.

Paddock is the best coach in the league and will out smart any coach in the WHL with matchups. Looking forward to the series against Red Deer in 2nd round. Canes are done, book it! Go Pats Go
Tonight will be a sellout b_tches!! Pats fans are way more supportive than Warrior fans. Raiders in 7.
So has he just been coasting for the first 72 games? Why are they a 500 hockey team?
Take a look at the Pats roster for date of birth and league experience. Paddock has consistently for two seasons got more out of less than any other coach in the league.
This team will be scary good if they continue to develop at the rate they have and continue to buy-in to the philosophies of Paddock and his staff.
Looking forward to a capacity crowd tonight at the Brandt Centre from the best fans in the East Division (both statistically and by fan support)
I like Paddock but IMO Brent Sutter is the best coach in the league. I mean head coach of NJ and the Flames, World Juniors and Mem cup Champion. Just my opinion.
Moose Jaw destroying PA Tues Night, Hunt 3 goals and an assist so far 5-0
Princess Point likes to turn his back to checkers when he is a long the boards hoping for a cheap penalty. Somebody is going to staple his arse to the boards permanently if that keeps up.
