Tough loss but a great game. Fast skating hard hitting affair. Going to be an exciting season with the young guys working so hard. If you haven't been yet this year come out this Wed and/or Fri.
3156? BRUTAL!!
The Pats were lucky to get a point last night. They played pretty sloppy. They are a young team and fun to watch though. You always know when Steel is on the ice. This kid is going to be a treat to watch for the next few years.
Does anyone know how long the Brandt Centre parking lot is going to be such a mess? That alone will keep people away.
The Brandt Centre is a dump, won't be shocked when the new ownership have to build there own venue.
Is it too much to ask for a clean venue? Have you seen that basement? Played rec there last week, can't imagine visiting teams enjoying that mess. Can't even talk about that parking lot, Yikes!
Not a bad team but really got pushed around and manhandled. They need a policeman or two. Long season if they don't. Their captain can't be scrapping every game. C'mon Paddock find some toughness.
Lots of good parking in the lot just off lewvan..so you have to walk an extra 30 seconds..sheesh…it's 8-10C…like Summer. Who cares what the basement looks like! You non-fans find any excuse to complain about. Stay home then.
The lot just off lewvan was available for the opening weekend but you couldn't access it this past weekend. I'm sure it's just temporary and we just make sure we arrive extra early to get a good spot.
I fully agree with the stay home comment.
If your so concerned about the parking show up earlier and get a better quality spot. Buy your tickets before the gates open and park on the west side much better parking on that side anyways.
I agree the parking lot is a dive and it needs a resurfacing for the events that come here.
I can't imagine what the parking lot will look like when the snow flies.
I go to watch entertaining hockey which looks like we will get a lot of this year. Don't go if you people are gonna wine about the parking. If it wasn't the parking or the basement you idiots would find some other lame excuse to bitch. Get over it please!!
I was the first to comment about the parking but it's not going to keep me away. GO PATS!
