The Broncos showed good work ethic for the most part but didn't find the chemistry to do the damage needed. Their many odd man rushes up ice never connected. As a result the game went the other way, and Swift Current had it's four-game win streak snapped. Although they got 34 pucks to the goal, Deven Dubyk was strong in the Medicine Hat net. Michael Stickland was beautifully set up by a hardworking Cody Eakin and scored his second goal in as many nights to bring the score to 2-1 in the third. Any momentum from the goal though was quickly extinguished when the Tigers replied seconds later to make it 3-1. The Broncos' power play also sputtered to 0 for 4 on the night while the Tigers capitalized once on three chances.
For the second straight game, the Tigers kept ringing the iron frame behind Bronco G Mark Friesen. But this time they persevered and finally managed to open up a sizable lead in the third period. After that they did a good job of putting the game on ice.
The Broncos will be off until next Friday, when they visit the Red Deer Rebels.

Hey Ern, care to make a friendly wager on tomorrow's game? You can pay up in Tisdale this weekend :)

No Bryant, I will not put money on it. I've lost too much money that way. :)
Anything can happen.
I was thinking the loser has to buy fries at the rink between periods of your broadcast.
