The Medicine Hat Tigers face what's for all intents and purposes a must-win game tonight at Westman Place. The last two times they had to win- games 6 and 7 against Swift Current- they of course beat the Broncos to come back and win that series.  
 
James Priestner came on in relief of Andrew Hayes in game two and backstopped the Wheat Kings to an improbably comeback. Does that mean he gets the start tonight, or will Hayes get the call again? The Tigers have potentially bigger goaltending problems, having given up 14 goals through the first two games of the series.  
 
We plan to stream live from the Keystone from approx 6 PM tonight until ten minutes before game time. This will include the pre-game warmup. To watch, check the front page of eBrandon during that time.  
 
For anyone going, please try to wear gold (or yellow) to the rink tonight!
