I would call this a down week....

2 losses this week is making it tougher and tougher for the Pats to claw their way back into the playoff picture. I know that they are only 4 points out of seventh but there are 5 teams battling for 2 final spots. Anyway I have been under the weather and missed most of the two weekday games so I'll just post the summaries from www.whl.ca:
