Monday musings

The random thoughts of a man. Not just any man. But yet, everyman.

• The Regina Pats' season came to another early end on the weekend, and Jordan Eberle fell one point short of the scoring championship. Double bummer.
• Want to know why the Pats missed the playoffs again this year? I don't think it's that complicated: the blueline wasn't good enough, the goaltending was average, and the bottom six forwards contributed next to nothing. At least that's how it looked from my vantage point.
• So what happens next? Frankly, I don't know. What I do is, what's been happening clearly hasn't produced the desired results. So, more of the same likely won't get the job done.
• The Atom Blackhawks season also came to a merciful end this season.
• The Hawks started the year with a 3-1 record, then only won ONE game the rest of the season! Ouch.
• Next up for the J-man is the North Regina Little League season. The fun never ends around our house!
• Tough break for the U of R women's basketball team, failing to win a medal at nationals. They'll be back next year.
• Still, a 4th place finish at nationals in a supposed rebuilding year isn't half bad!
• These are heady times for SportZone - our little tv show was mentioned on Rod Pedersen's blog today, and in Rob Vanstone's weekend Sun column. Thanks fellas!
• Is it Friday yet?
