The Matchup
The Patriots travel to Chicago to face the Wolfpack of St. Ignatius in a Sweet 16 contest. Win and move on, lose and go home.
The Pats have a tall task ahead of them, the Wolfpack features four of the top 10 leading SHL scorers and come in finishing with the 3rd best power play in the SHL. One of the keys to the game will be staying out of the box.
The Patriots have strong goaltending in both Morris and Ali, both netminders have done their part to give their team a chance to win each night. The Wolfpack is not shy about taking penalties and finished with the second most penalty minutes in the SHL this season. If Stevenson can find the back of the net with some PP goals they will be in a great position to pull off the upset. Offensively they are lead by Bryan Wojdelko and Jimmy Brown but guys like Yurkov, Outschoorn shouldn't be counted out. The goals don't have to be pretty, they just have to go in.
Nothing is more fun than competing as the underdog and coming out on top. GO PATS!
