Pat Chat December 8th
The Week That Was
Last week saw the Pats stay white hot as they took four points from the Eastern Conference leading Brandon Wheat Kings. Wednesday night in Regina saw Pavel Padakin score his third straight “Teddy Bear Goal” and the Pats take a 4-2 win over the Wheat Kings. Sam Steel had a pair of goals in the win. After a day off, the teams resumed hostilities in Brandon Friday night. The Pats got two goals from Adam Brooks including the game winner nine minutes into the third period. The Blue and White held onto the 3-2 score for their first win in Brandon since the 2012-13 season. Daniel Wapple stopped 58 of 62 shots in the two wins in the week after being named the Goaltender of the Month for November.
