– very unfortunate result, albeit not unexpected
– the Pats have lost six of their last ten road games, not what a champion should be doing.
– Neither Steel's line nor Brook's line scored even strength
– watched the game and the Pats had not direction, fire or leadership.
– they have to pick up their road play.
Why do some bloggers keep referring to the Pats as champions? The organization, and real Pats fans have never said they are going to win the Memorial Cup this year. Thay are a good Team that are fun to watch. They have a lot of skill and that is why they have only 3 regulation losses. Some (for the most part Anon's) only come on here when they lose and you'd think the Pats are bottom feeders by the way they comment. No team is going to win them all and no player is going to get 2,3,4 or 5… Read more »
Agreed, the goaltenders stood on their heads. It was a different kind of game than we are used to, but both teams had a lot of great chances, the goaltenders just shut the door.
Also, I can't tell if the daily "Champs" poster is real or a troll, but I'm leaning towards troll.
Come on Weppler we have heard it time after time "Canadian Champions", Memorial Cup Champions etc all about the Pats . You should maybe read more and not just what you write because most times you sound just like they do. Can the PATS really walk on water ?

The comments about Canadian Champions, Memorial Cup Champions come from anonymous trolls. Mr. Weppler offers a knowledgeable fans perspective. I expect you only want to read insults and hate filled comments about the Pat's.
Well Wayne not sure what your reading but I have never said Pats were going to be Champions of any sort. Just that I like the new owners and the way the Pats are playing. Been a season ticket holder for years so been thru the tough times. When you read somebody legit that says Pats are the champions point me to it so I can read it. THx.
