Move over, Harry Neale

I'm looking forward to tomorrow night's WHL regular season finale between the Regina Pats and Brandon Wheat Kings. I'll be doing colour commentary on the Access Communications' tv broadcast with the loquacious Mitchell Blair. Literally a heavyweight broadcast team - Paczko and Blair - the return of the original Cable Geeks!!!! Then immediately afterwards I'll zip over to the O-T Sports Lounge to ride shotgun with Rod Pedersen on the post-game show. And I'll be doing all that while making sure young Jacob is suitably entertained and taken care of. (Memo to son - don't hurl, boy!)

As for the game itself - there's a chance it may not go down in history as an all-time classic. Both teams will utilize a number of affiliated players, giving some veterans a well-deserved breather before the long playoff grind. Mind you, that does give us a sneak peak at the future of the franchise - players like Matt Strueby and Curtis Kulchar. And of course, it's St. Paddy's Day - which means the Pats will be wearing and auctioning off those stylish green jerseys. Maybe Mitch and I will throw on a couple of those green babies for the broadcast. Do they make them in XXXXL?
