The Regina Pats lost their second straight game last night, coincidentally both were by a score of 6-2. Ewwww. The Pats looked good in the first period, keeping the score at 0-0 but seemed frazzled for the wrest of the game. Keep in mind the Hitmen have the top 2 power play and penalty kill in the league so the Pats knew they were in tough. Team Canada member Brandon Kozun had himself a night, and left with a hattrick, hey, the kid is good. Small. But good. Another Team Canada member was in the opposing net as Martin Jones is the Hitmen's unreal goalie, and was recently named the CHL's goaltender of the week (and for good reason). Jones picked up the win and stopped 33 of 35 shots while giving up little to no rebounds.
Scoring for the Hitmen: Kozun(3), Fiddler, Burgart
Scoring for the Pats: Gustafsson, Ashton
The refing was once again "unique" as per usual with Pats games. In the game against Brandon Garret Mitchell became a victim of a head shot and was forced to sit out of this contest with a concussion, but was there a penalty? No. Ofcourse not. Now in this game Cody Carlson was slammed into the boards behind the net and laid there for quite some time and is now also out with a concussion. Penalty? No, why would you even ask. Then there is the matter of Jordan Eberle basically getting raped every night and the ref's seem to refuse to call any penalties. However, god forbid Jordan breathe near someone he gets an insta-penalty. Interesting.
Thankfully, the Moose Jaw Warriors also lost last night, and the Swift Current Broncos only picked up 1 point. Thus, the Warriors and Bronocs are now tied for the final playoff spot with 60 points, and the Pats are trailing by 5.
The Pats have one day of rest and then hit the road where they face the Rebels on Friday and the Oil Kings on Saturday. Good Luck Boys!
