Round 2: Saskatoon, Med Hat or Swift Current?
3/26/2009 at 8:55 AM
With the Wheat Kings havent swept the Kootenay Ice, it's now on to round 2.
First they need to wait on the outcome of the Lethbridge-Saskatoon series (currently tied 2-2) to have a clearer picture of what's next. If Lethbridge wins that series, the Wheat Kings would play the winner of Swift Current vs Medicine Hat (currently tied 2-2). If Saskatoon wins it, Brandon would start the second round likely next weekend in Toon Town.
If it's Swift Current or Medicine Hat, Brandon would have home ice advantage.. but it's unclear how that would work, given that the winter fair runs through next Saturday.
Out of the three possible teams, which would you rather play?
Vs Saskatoon during the season, the Wheat Kings are 3-5-0. The Blades held a 37-22 advantage over those eight games in goals scored.
Vs Medicine Hat, Brandon was 3-1-0 and outscored the Tigers 14-10.
Vs Swift Current, Brandon was 7-1-0 and outscored the Broncos 34-19... but the Broncos looked like a much improved team when they played at Westman place earlier this month.
