a three game mini series starts tonight. the first two games are in brandon the third game back in saskatoon on tuesday. should be awesome. i think whoever takes two out of three should go on to win the east division.
special teams are going to be important. brandon has the #3 powerplay in the whl lots of firepower there. brandons penalty kill is weaker 14th overall, this might be where saskatoon can get an advantage, the blades have to score on their powerplay chances. saskatoon has to stay out of the box.
in five games brayden schenn has yet to score a goal, but has seven assists against saskatoon. chris langkow is saskatoon's scoring leader with four goals and three assists against brandon.
both teams will have significant players out with injury. for saskatoon teigan zahn is out for the weekend games, brandon will be missing scott glennie.
overall saskatoon has a big advantage in net, a slight advantage on defense, and brandon has a big advantage at forward. if the wheaties can open up the game and get their forwards room to work, watch out. if saskatoon gets to brandon's starting goalie early, and can roll their lines, watch out.
going be a lot of fun for us.
