Canes' win on Turkey Day...Welcome back Fadden!

Fadden Left

Was it just me or did Mitch Fadden show yesterday just how darn good of a hockey player he is? I thought Mitch was a huge factor in Lethbridge's 3-2 victory over Regina. He had 1 goal and 1 assist to help the Canes' improve to 6 and 3 on the year. Again as I said on the broadcast last night, Fadden isn't going to be the end all and be all here, but what he brings to the game is critical and important. Mitch Fadden plain and simple is one of the most offensive and dynamic players in the WHL and I thinnk people who watched yesterday's game witnessed how he can control things on his own and change a game. Yes, he's that good, but let's not forget he can't do it by himself. I thought the whole team played well and they out shot Regina overall. Too bad though the game was decided on a bad giveaway by Pats Goaltender Jeff Bosch. Early in the 3rd, he misplayed the puck behind his goal and gave it right to Colton Sceviour who scored what turned out to be the game winner. I suppose things like that happen. It's part of the game, but in the end Lethbridge got the win and that's what really counts in the end for Lethbridge fans.
I liked the Hurricanes jump yesterday and their determination. The power play also clicked scoring twice. The Pats also scored 2 goals with the man advantage. Lethbridge was full value for the win and they were getting a lot of pucks through to the net as well. That's been one of their challenges as of late. After today, former Hurricanes Jesse Craige and the Chilliwack Bruins are here tomorrow and then it's off to Calgary again on Thursday!
Still no word on when Zach Boychuk and Luca Sbisa will be back from their NHL teams. Stay tuned.........
