Moose Jaw is in big big trouble…
Yep…they are!
Moose Jaw shouldn't even show up for this series , or the fans.
I wonder who the above posters are because moose jaw has proven goal scorersbest goaltender in the conference they might just give Brandon a run for there money and actually win the series
The difference between Edmonton and Moose Jaw is the speed. Oil kings took penalties cause Brandon was too quick. I can see Warriors in 6.
