That was an especially bad display by the Hitmen. No 'killer instinct' intensity in this game at all, and the score would have been a lot less favourable if not for Pogge.
Moose Jaw must have won every single faceoff, beat the Hitmen to every loose puck, and won every battle along the boards. They looked great.
There wasn't a game this season for the Hitmen that was 'do or die.' Not even the battle for first place against Medecine Hat. I didn't much like the message Kisio was sending out in regards to that... he could have used it as a real challenge for this team. Instead, he let the team head into the playoffs playing pretty mediocre hockey.
