I couldn't help but notice the Latvian Locomotive Kaspars Saulietis led the Regina Pats with two goals in a 5-2 victory over the Swift Current Broncos. The Salty one has really picked up his game the past couple of weeks, and could be a very valuable piece of the puzzle in the playoffs.
Last night's win could have been a first-round playoff preview, providing the Broncos can hold off Prince Albert and Moose Jaw for third place in the East. The Pats clinched second spot, and home ice in the first round of the playoffs, with last night's win.
Tomorrow night I'm on the road with Rodney P to call the Pats game in Moose Jaw. And Saturday the same two teams do battle at the Brandt Centre. Should be a fun weekend!

If Kaspars gets a little more upper body strength and improves defensively, he has pro written all over him.
The Pats game is coming but it's not quite there yet. Rowat was very ordinary last night and he will have to be better. They also want to improve on the speed of their outlet passes. The team speed seems to be improving as is their committment to defense. Hopefully they can go into 3 tough buildings and win. It will prove something to themselves knowing its what they will have to do if they want to prevail in the playoffs.
