BRANDON WHEAT KINGS - 9 vs. REGINA PATS -3


vs.

Regina Pats season will come to a close with a home-and-home series this weekend against the Brandon Wheat Kings beginning tonight at the Brandt Centre 7:00 p.m. on 620 CKRM, with Broadcaster Rod Pedersen and Colorman Al Dumba. Press Box Sport Bar Pre-game Show is at 6:35 p.m.) It will be the final home game in the Pats careers for Eberle, Teubert, Strueby, Leffler and McColm.

************************************************************************

From - Rod Pedersen's blog. - This game is tracking towards a sellout and as blogger/broadcaster Mitchell Blair said yesterday, "this is a game you must be at". The shut-ins will be able to watch the game on Regina Television - Access 7 and Scruffy has the call, but it's one of those games you want to be at live.

Jordan Eberle enters the night with 48 goals and 104 points which are four more points than linemate Jordan Weal (and Brandon Kozun of Calgary Hitmen) in the league scoring race. I asked coach Curtis Hunt which would mean more to Eberle; scoring 50 or winning the scoring title.

"I'm sure if you asked Jordan, he'd say he'd give 20 goals back if we could play (in the playoffs) next weekend," Hunt answered. "He gets so excited when Weal scores, I don't think those things matter to him."
