Pats vs The Best Team in Canada

It was an ugly night for the Pats as they took on the best team in the CHL, the Calgary Hitmen.  The Pats could never get any offense going and as a result lost the game 5-0.  The Hitmen proved why they are the top ranked team in Canada with the top ranked power play.  The Pats made some nice plays in an attempt to stir up some offense but the rebounds just never seem to go their way tonight.  Scoring for the Hitmen were: Foucault, Beach, Mackenzie, Fiddler and Kozun.  The Pats have a week long break until they play the Kamloops Blazers next Friday at the Brandt Centre.   

UFC fight of the "Hasbins" has been replaced....

With a much better fight then anyone would have ever seen in the originally scheduled fight. Originally, Tito Ortiz was suppose to make his UFC comeback against former UFC champ and Hall- of-Famer Mark Coleman. However, Coleman has been forced to pull out of the fight with Tito, and in his place will be former lightheavyweight champ..... FORREST GRIFFIN! The two have previously fought in which Tito won the fight by split decision. Fans, get ready for a great fight! Tito is coming off of his breif attempt at commentating for the UFC's enemy Affliction, to which he was absolutely brutal at! Due in part to the fall of Affliction that could be seen a mile away and his recent reconciliation with UFC president Dana White, Tito and his giant monkey head are back. Forrest however, is coming off two straight loses, both of which were quite embarassing to watch. He was TKO'd by Rashad Evans in his first title defense and they KO'd by middleweight stud Anderson Silva which has everyone questioning whether or not Forrest even has a chin. The bout is set for UFC 106 on November 21st. I think I speak for everyone when I say, "GO FORREST!"

Battle of Albert-2

It would have seemed the Oilers were on their way to a 3-2 win over the Flames last night, which would have meant also handing them their first loss.. but, with 1.5 seconds left in the third, Bourque played hero for the flames. Bourque fired a puck through traffic to meet a standing Khabibulin and managed to sneak the shot through the upright goalies feet. Overtime had no scoring so for the second game in a row the Oilers were headed to a shootout. Hemsky, who got the win in the shootout against Dallas, was once again forced into a pressure situation and had to score in order to keep the Oilers in the game. Although he had Kiprusoff beat he went top shelf and banged it square off the post. Oilers lose in a shootout, 4-3. Scoring for the Oilers were: Moreau, Visnovsky and Hemsky. While Langkow, Dawes and Bourque scored in regulation for Calgary, Dawes and Jokinen scored in the shootout. A disappointing loss for the Oil, but they will look to get back on the winning track Saturday when they take on the Montreal Canadians.

Pats vs Warriors

The Pats were in hostile territory last night as they were looking for their fourth straight win. Unfortunately, the Pats came up short against the Moose Jaw Warriors with a final score of 6-9. You would think that if a hockey team can score 6 goals they would get the W, but not if they let in 9. Offense wasn't the problem last night, scoring for the Pats were: Jordan Eberle(3), Teubert, Strueby, and Hutt. While Stanton, Smith, Howden, Edwards, Bast(2), Hood(2) and Hamonic all registered goals for the Warriors. It was a tough night for the Pats, especially "Guhle the Goalie" who was without a relief because of Ketlo's lingering groin injury. Which has everyone wondering, "Why would you dress a goalie as a backup if he can't even play if need be? Why wasn't Tendler brought up from Sj to fill in as the backup for the night? If Guhle got hurt in the game, what did the Pats plan on doing exactly?" Anyway, it was a hard night for the Pats, but they showed effort until the very end. They will need a full 60 minute effort by every member of the team as they take on the number one team in the country Friday night at the Brandt Centre.

Make that Three in a Row

The pats seem to be on a role, they won their third straight game tonight as they beat the Red Deer Rebels by a score of 7-3. That brings the pats back to even with a 4-4-0 record. Brett Leffler is now leading the league in points with 4 goals, and 8 assists for a total of 12 points in 8 games. Scoring for the pats tonight were: Delahey (2), Leffler, Mulder, Poletin, Weal and Hood. The pats have combined for a total of 22 goals in their last three games. The pats didn't give up even in the dying seconds of the game and scored with less then 14 seconds left in the game. Things are looking really good for the pats; their new confidence and teamwork is amazing, and the line of Leffler-Weal-Eberle has been having amazing chemistry and incredible finishing ability. Every line seemed to get involved tonight, the defence played well and once again "Guhle the Goalie" came through. The pats next action is Wednesday when they take on the Moose Jaw Warriors for the second time in the regular season.

Two in a Row

The Regina Pats took on the Swift Current Broncos last night at the Brandt Center. Last season the pats were 1-7 against the Broncos but looked great against them yesterday. The final score of the game was 6-1 in favor of the pats. Scoring for the Pats were: Jordan Eberle (2) Strueby, Hutt, Mulder, and Leffler. The Pats are currently playing the Red Deer Rebels and are tied 1-1 after 20 minutes.

That's more like it

The Pats got their second win of the regular season last night when they played the Prince Albert Raiders. The final score of the game was 9-3 in favor of the pats. Scoring for the Pats: Jordan Weal (3), Jordan Eberle (2), Brett Leffler, Matt Strueby, Brayden Metz and Killian Hutt. It should also be noted that this was Jordan Eberle's first game after being sent back by the Oilers, and Hutt's goal was his first as a Regina Pat. The Pats next action is Friday at home agianst the Broncos.
