First period quick thoughts:
-Lots of hitting in this one tonight. Brandon having advantage in the physical aspect for most of the period but the Pats are holding their own.

-The officials pretty much kept their whistles in their pockets and deservedly so. Not much need for penalty calls. Pretty clean game so far as far as the "extra curricular" stuff goes.

-Dyson Stevenson needs to play. The kid can snipe.... "bar down" on his first period goal.

-Liston looks a bit shaky in the first especially on his gift goal by Klimchuk.

-The announcer (I don't know it is) is terrible..... sorry. It's a hockey game not a funeral.
