The Pats Light It Up in Toon Town

And that would be 3 in a row. Wins, that is. Actually, the Pats have won 4 of their 5 last games. Which game was the one they lost? The one that knocked them out of playoffs. Anyway, back to good news.

Last night, the Pats won 3-2 over the Blades and held the lead for all 3 periods. Dawson Guhle was in net and held off the goals until just before the buzzer in the second period. That would be nearly 5 periods as a shut out. Well done!

Jordan Eberle potted to markers last night raising his tally to 106 points and 48 goals. Myles Bell scored the game winner in the third.  The win ties the Pats with the PA Raiders in standings with 67 points a piece. Both have home and home series to finish off their season. The Raiders host and visit the Blades, while the Pats host then visit the Wheat Kings.

Speaking of which, the last home game is on Friday and according to Rod Pederson, there are less than 900 tickets left as of 1:00pm today. It’s the last chance to see Jordan Eberle, Colten Teubert (probably), Mitch McColm, Matt Strueby, and Brett Leffler in action. Hopefully they can all do some damage and finish off their year on a good note.

Now, what did I tell, ya! No pressure = good hockey. Something about their mindset has allowed them to play like superstars. The are finally living up to their potential. They are a great team on paper, and now they are a great team on ice. I guess the ultimate test will be how they hold up against the Wheat Kings in their last two games. Wouldn’t it be great to be in ninth and just two points shy of playoffs? Well, sort of I guess. I would pretty much suck, actually. Had they won one of those games they should have (think Lethbridge, Edmonton, etc……) earlier in the year. Darn.

Anyway, Go Pats Go! I’ll be watching on Friday, albeit a little late, but I’ll be watching! Best of luck and I hope you cream the Wheaties. (A couple good fights would be nice too!)
