Was that the former blade polei?
Brandon /Red Deer the way it should be
Paddock has had a hard time getting his players to buy in to discipline, and it wrecked them last night. Two needless penalties and a few seconds later a 2-0 lead is a 2-2 tie. It was like a dagger through he heart and the Pats did little the rest of the way. Red Deer is a much stronger team than Lethbridge so blowing a game really hurts. There is no certainty the Pats can win tonight, and could easily be down 2-0 after todays game.
Agree Anon #2, this is how it was always supposed to be Brandon/Red Deer in the WHL east Final
It's clear the Pats are a much better team than Red Deer. Stay out of the penalty box and the series is over. Pats in 5 again! Book it
You sure about booking that
Down 2 games to Zip like the hapless Warriors are
