Looking good so far.

London . . . 04-05

I think Halifax would be a fair comparison. Or Windsor in '09 after they got rolling in the tournament.

 

[JC Numminen]

Ice looks real bad..

 

[Woodhouse]

1-0 BDN six minutes into the third period .. if result holds, RD advances to Friday semi-final with a ROU-BDN tie-break tomorrow.

Second period highlights:

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Wheat Kings fighting for their lives. Leading 1-0. Not making it easy on themselves.

 

[JC Numminen]

Oh no.

1-1 late 3

 

[Woodhouse]

Musil rebound goal ties it at 1-1.

 

[Tripod]

Nice to se the refs just let the kids play instead of a PP fest.

 

[JC Numminen]

I forget how round robin OT works.. Is it continuous 5v5 until someone scores or is it 5 min and a shootout?

 

[jjyay]

This is not what Brandon needs, more hockey to play tonight before (ideally) playing another game tomorrow, then another game the next night

 

[Woodhouse]

RD advances to semi-finals with game headed to OT .. BDN needs a win to force a tie-break vs ROU tomorrow, else it's a RD-ROU semi-final on Friday.

Well, that's a lot of hockey, not to mention none of the games are going to be rollovers.

If they make it as far as Friday, they'll be gassed during/near the end of that game.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Not sure who will win the OT, but this is not the Brandon I saw earlier this year. They lack spark. Not sure just what. But Red Deer look like the better team to me. I wonder if they will put Brandon out of their misery in OT. Can see Red Deer putting up a better fight against London if they make it to the final game.

 

[Snippit]

Red Deer should give Brandon this game.

 

[JC Numminen]

****.

Still. Heck of a season Brandon.

 

[snipes]

Rebels win in OT.

Home crowd loving it. Big congrats Rebels!

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Didn't see Brandon getting eliminated out of the round robin. Not at all.

 

[Snippit]

Brandon was very unimpressive all tournament. Got outplayed in every game.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Eating crow on Red Deer. Well done to win 2 of 3.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Extremely disappointing end to the season for Brandon. What a let down imo.

 

[jjyay]

Nice goal, and nicely down Red Deer, not many saw them winning 2 out of 3.

But that celebration - they know this was just a round robin game right?

 

[JA]

I didn't watch tonight's game. How was Nolan Patrick tonight and throughout the tournament?

Me neither. This is why junior hockey is awesome!

Great hockey from the Rebels! Love this tournament.

Knights obviously favourites to win but what a great story for the hometown Red Deer Rebels.

I didn't watch tonight's game. How was Nolan Patrick tonight and throughout the tournament?

Pretty unimpressive. I mean I know it's a small sample size and everything - and his team (including high profile 18/19 year olds) got seriously outplayed. But I won't sugar coat things.

To be kind, he was the WHL playoff MVP...so one of the guys that got them there. But still...

 

[Woodhouse]

Bleackley takeaway and dish to Polei creates a RD-ROU semi-final on Friday.
