against Regina?

They let the Pats get back in the game by being outscored and outshot in the 3rd, surprise surprise. Why is it when ever they get a good lead they seem to forget bout the offense and focus on defense.

Glad they won the game but being outshot is another story, I'm no expert but when ur playin offense, u usually have the puck and if im not mistaken the other team can't score when you have the puck.

They win you complain,they lose you complain. Just be happy Trav they one. Regina has a good team. Thats 2 points in the standings or an extra 4 points ahead of Regina instead of 2 points closer. Thats always a good thing Trav.

I just wanna see them put away a team like Regina in th e 3rd, not let them back in to the game or win the game like Brandon did awhile back.

It was nice to see Chorneyko score again, he's done a really good job since being acquired, solid pickup.

Well when you have a 3 goal lead in the 3rd, unless you completely dominated, you should go into a defensive mode. Key note - ALL of Regina's 4 goals were on the PP. Meaning our Pk needs to be better and we gotta play more disciplined. Its always a rough battle against Reg town.

And yes, i love Chorneyko as a Blade!

That is what happens when you play the trap. Get up by a goal or two, then sit back and play the trap.

We watched the Pats blow several leads in the past few years with the same system. It is frustrating. And if it wasn't for the Blades Goaltender, the Pats most likely would have made the comeback.

I hate to be cocky here but Regina is a teriable team! or maybe a teriable coached team? but anyways I am very surprised Parker didn't unload this team as there is no way in HE double hockey sticks, Regina is going to make the Playoffs this year! all that so called talent? all those so called snipers? what has it done for Regina? NOTHING! 10th place way below 500.

Most people would tell you at the start of the season that Regina was a .500 team. They are very young 9 or 10 rookies. 'Those so called snipers'??? Eberle and that's it. He is doing the job. Strueby and Leffler are having career years. And 16 year old Weal, is ahead of projections.

They are a better team now than they were before the trade deadline. I think they will make the playoffs. The Pats are a better team than Red Deer, Moose Jaw, Edmonton, and Kootney. And I think they are deeper than PA.

regina's problem isn't goal scoring, it's defense. the pats have the 3rd worst goals against in the conference. the pats also tend to have poor starts. don't know if this is a product of coaching, players, team leaders or what.

Maybe but we also had four other guys at other National tourneys also at one time this year we were atop scoring team so our snipers arnt doing to bad IMO we need better coaching but we are still FAR from a terrible team...The only reason you guys even won is from out mistakes in def zone and your goalie you should get on your knees for Holtby because if not for him its 10-5!. you must be one of those guys that show up to games but knows nothing about hockey other than what you hear from other peop;e around you..your a joke.

So let me get this straight.

That statement above is enough to condemn the pats as a non playoff team? A difference of -give or take- 2 points?...disreguarding the facts that Regina was miles ahead of these teams before their losing streak when they lost alot of their impact players, the fact that the pats added two impact players on top of all this, AND that the pats even managed to beat the immortal blades a couple times this season as well.

All of that, yet the pats are still not a playoff team (like saskatoon wasnt for the last few seasons).

Do you really stand by that statement, or are you really just another addition to the ever growing list of bias troll fans from saskatoon?

Yes we know that the attendance in Saskatoon is pretty bad (despite the Blades being 1st in the East Division) and sure bigger crowds help with alot of other things As long as the Blades are winning games who cares what the score is? The divisional games are probably the most important now.

It has been said that Saskatoon is not really a city that really supports their WHL team until they go deep into the Play-offs. (A.K.A when all the bandwagon fans jump on board.) I have no problem with that either because at least those seats that have been empty all season will probably be used.

I do not like when the Blades have a lead and then they play defense against the tougher teams,I wish they could just put the game away and not have to worry about a team catching up and tying the game but I think that is something that the Blades usually struggle with.

The final meeting of the season should be a good one. :thumb:

2. Stating my opinion is not trolling.

3. Where did I say that the Blades are immortal?

4. Yes, being in 10th place as of right now means the Pats are not a play-off team, you didn't know that?

5. How am I biased? The only WHL team I have ever developed a hate on for is the Raiders and they are one of the teams just barely ahead of the Pats, no bias here. Yet, you are from Regina, maybe your the ones who are biased?

Well we still dont have our full roster back due to a injury to yet another key player in Delahey.... but injuries aside, every team goes thru injuries they are expected.....

Before the WJ's & under 17s no 1 was questioning if the Pats were a bad team or not.... they Loose Eberle (1 of the best goal scorers in the WHL) Teubert (a 1st rd pick on D) Cerveny (was 4th in the league in +/- at the time) Weal (1 of a very few impact 16 yr old in the entire WHL) then Delahey gets injured....

Ok for you (select) Blades fans..... You take away Hulak, Pattersen, Elliott along with Kynter & Niemi (who were at WJ's) for 9 games as well, do you honestly think the Blades would still be in 1st place. I really dont think the Blades would of done much better then the Pats did during that same stretch of games.

Its always hurts a team when you take away your 2 leading scorers & 2 impact Dmen from a team... No matter who you are....


The Blades have 3 rookies who have played in more then 20 games this season, the Pats have 6 rookies who have played the same...... So really that makes your team more of a vetern team so really the Blades should be ahead of the Pats in the standings as the Pats are 1 of the youngest teams in the league. But really dont worry about the Pats k, just worry about your Blades team you guys got Brandon breatheing down your necks looking for that top spot. Brandon got off to a very slow start, I had predicted Brandon to finish 1st in our division and i still stand behind that. Brandon has alot more depth then the Blades only advantage the Blades have is between the pipes.


The 2nd half of the season is all conference games for the Pats, lots of ground can be made up from here til the end of the season. I know its just your hate for the Pats Pro Staff and being only a kid yourself, and your stupid meaningless posts that you make week after week in here. Your opinion means nothing to the main posters on here, the guys that actually follow the league and view each game without the homer glasses on.

Holly I never heard so many excuses for being a sucky Team if you can call the Pats a team! man Pats dude are you sure you aren't the Pepper Carrrot for the Pats? should we call you Pepper Pat? lol okay! listen every team lost players we had 5 players at WJ and some key players aswell! this Blades team has always had a ballance aproach to winning games and that hasn't changed all season long, so when we lose players like Toomey for 20+ games we still win because someone else picks up the slack! if you lost Ebrele for even a few games you guys lose! what does that tell you Pepper Pat? that your team is easy to shut down and will probally miss the play-offs because you only have a few good players and a bunch of under acheivers.

I still stand by me words that the Pats will miss the Play-offs! and the Blades will be in first! look even with Brandon winning 11 straight we are still in first! why you might ask pepper pat? because we are still winning! If we just worry about our selves and not what others are doing we will stay in first! so I know Pepper Pat that you and your Pats fans hate the fact that we are winning and are en Elite team in this league we are the 3rd best team in this league and have beat the best team ( Calgary) 2 out of 3 times this year! but wake up Pepper Pat! it's not a nightmare! the blades are for real!

Either Prostaff is like 9 years old, is in denial, or is just another ignorant blades fan. Probably all of the above.

Fact is, Patsdude has a point. If you remove half of the blades top 6 offensive players (including the best one) and half of your top 4 D, you arent going to show your 'A' game. Granted, with the blades depth, their absences wouldnt be felt as much, but you are mistaken when you say that it isnt a legit excuse to a decline in performance.

And the pats missing the playoffs? I doubt you would put money on that, even if you ask your mom to spot you some cash.

I dont see how you are convinced that PA, Edmonton, Moose Jaw or Red Deer are taking a playoff spot over Regina, especially when Delahey comes back to make one scary top 4. I'm sure the pats can aim higher than just 8th place, seeing as they are already above 8th as it is, but I guess we will see. You can rule out Regina if you like though, at least then you will stop posting all of this stupid ****.

Ok sorry but are you out of your mind? Brandon rolls 2 good lines. The Blades roll 3 lines regularly and play thier 4th line more then any other team. The Blades are in 1st because of thier depth. They score by committee. They stomped brandon last night because they rolled 4 lines and Brandon rolled with 2.

Brandon has a couple of good high offence players, but those guys dont mean nothing if the Blades are in thier zone. I will willingly give the offence, to the wheaties. But the Blades kick thier buts in DEPTH, DEFENCE, and goaltending. Look at WHL.ca, the Blades have let in alot less goals then the Wheatkings, saying the Wheatkings have better defense and depth is just goofy, be honest here. You guys to have the offense advantage.

But the Blades kick thier buts in DEPTH, DEFENCE, and goaltending. Look at WHL.ca, the Blades have let in alot less goals then the Wheatkings, saying the Wheatkings have better defense and depth is just goofy, be honest here. You guys to have the offense advantage.

have to go with tids on this one. the blades cannot throw out a line like schenn-calvert-glennie, not many teams can, saskatoon does roll four effective lines so who does an opponent out their checking line against? the blades defense and goaltending is the best in the east division, and comparable to any team in the eastern conference.

And the pats missing the playoffs? I doubt you would put money on that, even if you ask your mom to spot you some cash.

I dont see how you are convinced that PA, Edmonton, Moose Jaw or Red Deer are taking a playoff spot over Regina, especially when Delahey comes back to make one scary top 4. I'm sure the pats can aim higher than just 8th place, seeing as they are already above 8th as it is, but I guess we will see. You can rule out Regina if you like though, at least then you will stop posting all of this stupid ****.

Looks like the $100 bet we made is l;ooking pretty good right now! punk rock

Would have looked even better if you actually took the bet back when i called you out.

But yeah, it looks like I have been wrong so far. I actually did feel that they would make the playoffs, with good reason, but its looking more and more like they wont.

Cant blame a guy for trying to support his team though.

Don't blame you at all, just a friendly poke at you! I understand I sat through a 7 win season not to long ago! so I am just enjoying our season and the boys are playing hard every night, it is nice to see!
