Well not many of us have made threads for up coming games like we did last season, so i am starting a Pats vs Rebels thread for tonight's game.
Tonight is the Rebels 3rd game in 3 nights loosing friday night in Brandon 3-1 and then loosing again last night 3-2 to MJ (in a SO) They will be hungary for a win but not sure how much they got left in the tank, should be able to see a difference in there play come the 3rd period.
I hope the Pats dont take the Rebels lightly cause its there 3rd game in 3 nights. With the Pats starting to gel alittle more lately finding there team identity. Last night coming back from being down 2-1 to start the 3rd to win 4-2 (with a EN goal from Strubey) Bartley scored 2 goals, Eberle 2 assists, Weal with 1 assist. Im really excited to watch tonights game mainly due to me missing Wednesday's game against MJ.
Does Rowat get the call tonight? Or do they go with Bosch?? My guess is if they go with Rowat again, Bosch is the odd man out and will be dealt sometime soon. If Bosch gets the call i think its still a flip of the coin who is being traded. I hope they make there decision soon though, even keep them both or move 1 i think the longer this plays out the worse it will get. Both goalies are capable or being a starter, i know at times i have been hard on Rowat and in favour of Bosch but i think i may be changing my mind. I know what Rowat is capable of doing and yet confident in him as well. I know from a fans perpective Bosch would be the more exciting goalie but i think with the the team we got we got to keep the best capable goalie as of right now, and thats Rowat. Tendler will be on this team next season, Kelto will be a solid backup for this year.
Its really nice to see a wide open style of hockey being played by the Pats. Its been a long time since we have been able to see alittle pond hockey being played. I hate how coaches stress so much on defence now a days. What happened to the days when it was just go out there and out score the other team. That was exciting hockey. Derkatch forchecks 2 in the zone the reason we give up lots of 3 on 2's but im ok with giving up 3 on 2's if it makes the game more entertaining to watch. Hunt's stress on defence last season got boring to watch alot and if it wasnt for our PP being 1 of the best in the league our season would of been very boring to watch. I wish more coaches would stress offence 1st. Look at the Washington capitals after they fired there coach last season Broudeau took over he stressed offence 1st with the offensive players he had and look how exciting they were to watch.
Hope we can see some nice plays tonight with a few goals.
GO PATS GO!!!!!
