Between that and their lazy stupidity in the first last night, Moose Jaw is now up 2-0. This is why games aren't played on paper though. Doesn't matter how much better you look than your opponent if you are going to play like idiots. Meanwhile, the Warriors are doing the only thing they can: wait for someone else to hand then glorious chances. And they are doing that perfectly.

Have to disagree, the Warriors are snuffing out the Hitmen style of play perfectly. Give them some credit.
The Hitmen don't like cycling underneath, they are a team that loves to feed the points and generate their offense from there. The Warriors are playing tight point and taking that pass away. The Hitmen don't feel like competing on the boards down low and are either firing into the goalie's crest from the blueline or trying the extra fancy pass across the crease instead of throwing pucks on goal and outnumbering the Warriors in front of the net.
The Warriors are blocking shots, taking away the Hitmen's bread and butter, being opportunistic of their chances, capitalizing on shaky goaltending, and taking advantage of some horrible officiating.
Good on them and their coach, they are playing this series perfectly.
