Rob Henderson's Wheat King article in Brandon Sun.
4/7/2009 at 9:39 AM
So we are 6-0 in the playoffs so far. Rob starts off his article and I quote "It’s hard to nitpick with a
team that’s undefeated in the
playoffs, but if there has been
one glaring weakness in the
Brandon Wheat Kings’ postseason
run so far, it’s the
performance of their penaltykilling
units."
Come on!!!!! You wonder why our fans have the glass is half empty attitude all the time!!!!!!! Why can't we talk about the postives about this team, or the fact know one is coming to watch them play. Maybe even report the differences in playoff tickets around the league compared to Brandon.
SO here is what is going to happen crowd wise the rest of the playoffs. We won't sell more than 3800 for tonight. We win and up 3-0. People will hold off going on Friday because they expect a sweep. Once agaiin maybe 4k friday. If we win we are off to Calgary for the first 2 games next week. Lets say calgary wins 2 close games in their barn. The team comes home down 2-0 a week and a half after the end of Medicine hat series, people won't go because the series is over in their mind.
I hope I'm wrong and I hope people show up in droves to support theses guys. It would be nice to see our home town paper show a little glass half full positive outlook at this time of year.
