11-1 clown pounding tonight against the Broncos.

 

[PBandJ]

I kinda love that the Broncos opened the scoring and were probably like "sweet, lets build on this" before being scored on 11 straight times.

 

[Cloned]

OKs with an interesting year as they’re in that clear “second best” tier in the league. They’re not likely to beat PA in a series but a series vs. the Blades, Warriors, or Hurricanes should be fun.

I attended the game on Saturday night and holy crap did they work over the Wheat Kings. Just utterly controlled the game from start to finish. Won every battle and did all the little things right. They took their foot off the gas when it was 7-0 and coasted it in in the third and yet were still the better team. Fun to watch.

Red Deer lost to Saskatoon 1-0 and Calgary beat Kootenay 6-2. With the Medicine Hat and Red Deer losses over the weekend, Edmonton can finish no worse than third.
