The Regina Pats and Moose Jaw Warriors kick off a home and home set tonight at the Brandt Centre. Recently the intensity of the rivalry has dropped off somewhat. Heck, I can't even remember the last real slug-fest between the two teams. Maybe we have to go back to the Sean O'Connor days? Heck, today's Leader-Post even contains a story about how the respective general managers (gasp) get along!
So, leave it to some other media types to stir things up. I imagine many of you also visit Rod Pedersen's blog on a regular basis. But, in case you don't, you have to read this post, including the comments. Oh, it's on! Let's hope that intensity carries over into the dressing rooms.
Suddenly, I'm really looking forward to being in the press box tonight. Tomorrow night's sojourn to Moose Jaw (I'll be doing the colour commentary on CKRM) should also be pretty interesting. Here's hoping, anyway.

Hey Pete - it wasn't pretty but it was two points and we didn't lose. These days thats a bonus. R.V. from the LP didn't like it much and most can see his point. There was some skating but a lot of botched plays, both sides. Not too much finish by either team.
Outshooting then 13-7 in the first we should have been up by a goal or two. We sure need to find some more offense because 2 goals at home isn't going to cut it most nights. Man we just have to win tonight. I sure don't want to see the loss collum grow any more, its already too high.
Scuttlebutt around the rink is that a blockbuster is coming down, perhaps a 3 for 3. Remember however that most evryone had a beer in his hands. Last year Don Hay added A.J. Thelan, Mcardle and others when he didn't think he had quite enough. He will try again this year I'm sure. By the way, I watched the Giants last night and they are excellent. They play the last minute like the first minute.
We are not as good as the Giants or Chiefs right now so I am OK with a major shake-up cause we gotta get better. If we don't do it now next year we likely loose Pyett, Krauss etc.We have only one offensive person coming back (Eberle) and we will be going through this looking for offense thing again next year. I don't know if it is doable but I wouldn't mind seeing Dana Tyrell here. It would be nice to see he and Eberle in a Pats uniform
