The Wheat Kings will be playing to stay alive tonight and prevent the Calgary Hitmen from their 12th straight win and third straight series sweep.
I'd be surprised if we didn't see a heart and soul effort from the top line of Fehr-Clark-Lowry, the latter two in particular who are in their final WHL seasons along with Chad Erb.
Let's hope for another big, loud crowd for what could potentially be the last game in Westman Place until September (although it would be awesome to be back on Sunday!). I haven't heard an attendance number, but EastEndChris has mentioned in another thread that the game is almost a sellout.
Look for a live pre-game stream on the front page of eBrandon starting at approx 6 PM, with pre-game warmup starting at 6:25.
