The Hitmen made a statement in the opening game of the third round tonight against Brandon, laying a very one-sided 9-3 shellacking on the Wheat Kings. Remember back to game one of the Lethbridge series - a convincing 7-1 win for the Hitmen. Calgary made a statement in that game and they made another one tonight.
I don't know if there's any positives for Brandon to take out of tonight's game....they gave up 9 goals on just 35 shots and were down 7-0 by just past the midway point of the game. Their powerplay was effective at 2-for-6 but on the other hand, the Hitmen powerplay was better at 3-for-7. The Wheats may have a good offence but they have to really, really tighten up the defensive play and get much, much better goaltending than they got tonight if they're going to have a chance.
