The Regina Pats were humbled 7-2 by the Red Deer Rebels at the Brandt Centre tonight. The Pats were outworked in every aspect of the game by the Brian Sutter-coached rebels. It almost seemed as if the Pats defencemen were surprised that a Sutter team would forecheck aggressively. Go figure.
Rookie netminder Jeff Bosch was yanked after giving up the 7th goal. Bosch will have better nights in his WHL career. To be fair, he received virtually no help from his defense.
The Pats need to rebound quickly, as they visit Brandon tomorrow night before returning home to host the top-rated Calgary Hitmen Sunday evening.

A lot of mistakes by the coaching staff!!
-don't take your # 1 goalie when he is winning and your 2-0
-do take your back up out when you see him struggling and you still have a shot at the game
-the trap and one man forecheck made it easy on Red Deer all night
-don't let the kids read the press clippings
Those type of home games are MUST WINS if your going to be a championship team. Needless home loss cause there were no lessons learned! You can't win a championship in September but you can lose one. This teams work ethic has been spotty for years now and a Sutter team really exposes that. Let's hope that wasn't a measuring stick.
