Any fans making the trip to the games? I'll be in the area for game 4. Would like to attend, but I don't wanna be 1 guy in the middle of all the Seattle fans. If anyone is going could you let me know what section your in and I'll get a seat in the area as well. Thanks in advance

The seattle fans we met in Brandon were good folk. Being in opposing teams barns is a lot of fun! Im jealous you may be able to attend  
 
For those in Brandon, GW Roadhouse is showing games 3&4 on 2 large screen, surround sound, tavern menu. Free cover! Hoping to make a party out of this

Just checked the site for tickets there and game 3 is sold out. Not a lot of tickets left by the looks of it for game 4. Better get tickets now if you're wanting to go.

Thats because Seattle is running a 2 for 1 ticket special for tonights game. In the WHL finals. Pretty sad if you cant sell 6500 tickets in a city the size of Seattle! And when I looked last night there were still several hundred tickets for Wednesday.

expecting the best version of seattle tonight. Hopefully our game 3 meltdowns don't continue!!

I hope the boys have a great game tonight but respect the fact that Seattle is at home and both Brandon wins were in overtime! This is a competitive series, as it should be in the finals! As much as I'd love to see Brandon win another series at home, I hope they can close the series out in Seattle! Giving up two games out of three on the road would be nerve racking! lol! Go Wheaties!!!

Are going to win this series, they will have to close it out in Seattle.

So you think if they go 1 and 2 in Seattle they will come home and lose both games? Based on what?

You don't want to give Seattle any life or momentum or we will be in trouble.

They win! 1 more to go BWK and it's off to the memorial cup.

It would appear patience is the key, and thus team has tons of it. Glad I stayed up past my bedtime!

Yaaaaaaahooooooo! !

Not going to miss tonight's game. I just hope the guys have an extra bowl of Wheaties this morning, cause Seattle will be taking it to the next level tonight!! Like last night there are going to be a lot of bodies flying and a lot more crashing to the net by Easnor and True. This one may not go into overtime and I have a feeling the Wheaties might be surprised in the outcome. Go Wheaties Go!

we will be watching the game tonight also, should be a great game!! Go Wheaties Go!!

great win! Would suggest that some tough times the boys went through this year and the way they responded have gone a long way to get them to this point. When you have a tight group like they seem to have and believe that you can get the job done it is amazing what you can do. Fun to watch.  
 
Now comes the toughest challenge they have faced this year. Closing it out when you can almost touch the goal is not going to be easy especially with how close these teams are.  
 
Great job boys ! You are building memories that will be with you for life! Go wheat kings !!

But they have definetely put themselves in the driver's seat.  
 
Just some random thoughts in general  
- this team has had some adversity (10-0 loss to RD: down 2-0 going to Edmonton for 3 straight games). Those type of things can really tear a team apart, or bring them together. Safe to assume this team has been brought together by these situations.  
- Papirny's save percentage in this series is .938 vs. .905 for Bow. Also, his GAA is almost 1 goal per game less than Bow's in the series (obviously). He has a knack for stopping pucks when needed. If Brandon was scoring 6 goals per game in this series, he would likely let in 4 or 5, stopping just enough to get a win!! He has been stellar - proving that there is more than 1 elite goalie left in this year's playoffs.  
- Brandon has outscored Seattle 7-1 even strength in the series. This means absolutely nothing, just an interesting fact.

I Have faith that the boys will win the championship tonight and bring it home. These guys don't quit, they always find a way. Seattle just looks gassed in the third / OT.  
 
There was a lot of talk from western fans about how the western conference was far superior, and Brandon wouldn't be able to compete as "Brandon doesn't do defense and goaltending"  
 
even last night the shaw announcers went on and on about bow, who is great in his own right. I think Papirny has been at least equal to, if not better than Bow so far this series.  
 
Even on the CKLQ poll of the day over 2/3 of the people think we couldn't win in Seattle. Start believing Brandon...we will be CHAMPIONS

To borrow a line from the legendary Fred Shero:  
 
Win today and you will walk together forever.  
 
Get 'er done boys, finish it!

I jinxed the Wheaties. Seattle really lite up the scoreboard tonight... It's going to be to be a war the next time out!! Get lots of rest tonight guys cause it's back to basics tomorrow with Kelly!!

I was at the game last night, and I gotta say it was embarrassing when they started running around taking stupid penalties. I know it sucks when things don't go your way, but doing what they did doesn't help..  
 
Clear your heads guys, and come to play Friday! You got this!! Gowheatiesgo

That's supposed to be the Jaws Soundtrack lol.

You didn't really think we would sweep a good team like Seattle . Wheaties played 3 very good games and had a bad one yesterday - they bounce back and take it Friday :-)

I'm not the slightest worried yet. So far every series they have had at least 1 game where the wheels fall off temporarily but they always bounce right back! All the best teams have their off days.

I'd rather the wheels come off in a game 4 than a game 6 or 7. I also did not expect a sweep of Seattle and as much as I would love to see them win at home, I'd rather not give Seattle any momentum and hope they can finish it off on Friday. Go Wheaties Go!

I don't see anywhere in my post where I expected a sweep. And I'm not the slightest bit worried that they'll lose. There's different ways to losing though. Running around taking dumb penalties isn't necessary. I get that there's frustration but come on.

I was agreeing with Reston & jjames and that as well as having the opinion that if they were going to lose a game I would rather it be game 4 than a 6 or 7 and it is also meaning as well as my other opinion, that I didn't expect they would sweep Seattle, they are also in the final for a reason.

I was more disappointed with us not willing to dig deep and battle in the offensive zone, without doing that the seattle players didn't tire out and we couldn't amp up our game in the third. Hopefully they give everything tonight!

Can anyone confirm or deny if he will be suspended? There is lots of chatter on facebook that Seattle wants the league to look at his spear on Ottenbreit.

There's nothing on the WHL site and you would have thought they would have looked at it yesterday, so hopefully no suspension.
