Bringin' it home

Thumbs up for the Regina Pats, who now lead the Swift Current Broncos 3-1 in their opening round WHL playoff series. The Pats knocked off the Broncos 5-2 last night, to take games three and four on the road - a pretty significant accomplishment, especially considering the Pats' well-documented road woes this season.

So, now the Queen City Crew can close out the series on home ice tomorrow night. Let's hope the good people of Regina - along with a few visitors from Swift Current - pack the Brandt Centre for game five. Considering the home team hasn't advanced past the first round in almost a decade, a playoff celebration is loooooooooooong overdue! I guarantee young Jacob will be primed for a party - that little dude lives and dies by the exploits of his local hockey heroes.

And I suppose Rod Pedersen will need protection, based on his adventures in Swift Current this week. Never a dull moment when Rod's around.
