Why? Move the season up a week and you don't have that problem. It can be done. <br /><br />As far as more teams in the MC, I don't know how you expand it, but it is a joke that the host team wins when they didn't have to play for a month. It's somewhat embarassing, and yes as a Pats season ticket holder, it will be embarassing if Regina doesn't get to at least the final four and then win the crown next year. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-88936249711486933162017-05-29T15:29:56.207-06:002017-05-29T15:29:56.207-06:00

As dumb as it sounds, I found the Chi town folks some of the nicest people I had ever met (after I heard a thousand " take off eh" jokes and RCMP cracks when they found out I'm from Canada)when I stayed for the week...now I am surprised you went to the game without a Kevlar vest.75flyersbestteamevernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-30951314891496145442017-05-29T13:20:58.508-06:002017-05-29T13:20:58.508-06:00The tournament is too long but you want to add mor...The tournament is too long but you want to add more teams?

You play a 1 vs 8 2 vs 7 etc etc leading to a semi-final and a final. If the host team can win that I have no problem with it. <br /><br />You mention the league champs and runner-ups so I am guessing the team which loses the league finals would all be there. Yes, like in US college football or basketball there would be squawking from some teams about why they're not in and someone else is, but it is one way to cure the problem. <br /><br />Here's hoping the Pats can get back to the league final and win it so when Branch hands them the trophy they can say they deserved it.

The atmosphere is 2nd to none. It is a great venue to watch a game and the history is all around you.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2691831480757500675.post-82778581740796721232017-05-29T07:53:51.687-06:002017-05-29T07:53:51.687-06:00I don't like the MC format either and never ha...<br />I don't like the MC format either and never have. Look back at the last time the event was in Regina. How bad would it have been for the CHL to give the Pats the trophy. I think there has to be a better way too, but I don't know what it is to make it win-win for everyone.<br /><br />As for Riders, Jones gives me no reason to be optimistic at this time. As far as I'm concerned we are still weak at the game's most important position. Is Glenn better than any of the other starters in the league right now? <br /><br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
