So much for my live blog....

I got caught up in bidding on the Skills Competition Jerseys and ended up missing the final 4 goals (from a good vantage point anyway). I seen the highlight of Weal's second goal and it looked like a pretty nice goal. The Blades goals on the other hand I didn't see the regulation goals but was able to see the OT winner that beat Ketlo glove side. At least the winner was by Schenn. I honestly don't have much to say about the game as like I said I missed much of the scoring. I do feel as though the Pats played the Blades really good throughout the 1st and 2nd and at times even "dominated" them. I guess I will leave it at that but here is the scoring summary:

Live Blog: Pats Last Home game 2010/11

Well this will be my last live blog for the season.... It sucks that it's over so soon....

Looks like the Pats will have 2 fresh rookies in the lineup tonight with Kyle Burroughs making his debut on "D" and Jack Rodewald making his debut as a winger (with Stephenson and Klimchuk).

I will do my best to keep the blog up to date tonight and I will have more to say later tonight about the game. I'm working on a post season report from view and will have that up after the season.

Update

I finally have my internet working on a full time basis.... I hope it stays up for a while.

Well.... This could be it for the Queen City Kids tonight in Swift Current. They are trailing 2-0 after the first tonight. The boys have their backs against the wall and if they don't get the two points that would be it.

Still cheering hard.... Win or Lose.... GO PATS GO!

I'll have some thoughts later tonight on this game.... and later this week I will have more to say. I'm not sure what I'm going to say but I'm going to ponder some things and then it should be interesting.
