On this episode of Crusaders Pregame, hosts Zach Marks and Dawson Petryshen look back on a tough loss to the Lloydminster Bobcats, and look ahead to the weekends matchups against the Brooks Bandits and Drumheller Dragons.
With Lloydminster looking for revenge after a close 3-2 decision just the week before, the Bobcats came out swinging. Matthew Swanson had the lone goal of the first, but Mack Stewart and former Crusader Tanner Fincaryck found the back of the net to give themselves a 3-0 lead heading into the 3rd. Sherwood Park got 33 shots the way of Kolby Thornton, and all but one was stopped as Carter Chorney broke the shutout bid with 57 seconds left in regulation. The Bobcats would add an empty netter to take a 4-1 decision.
Dawson also had a chance to speak with defenceman Caelum Dick and forward Logan Hauer ahead of the weekend, to discuss how the team has been gelling as of late and how they can get back on track.
