‘It’s hard:’ Pats fall 3-0 to Titan in Memorial Cup Final
The Memorial Cup drought continues for the Regina Pats, who suffered a heartbreaking 3-0 loss to Acadie-Bathurst Titan on Sunday night.
“It’s hard, not the way we wanted to finish of the season,” Matt Bradley said following the defeat.
In front of a sold-out crowd at the Brandt Centre, the Pats — who were chasing their first Memorial Cup in 44 years — wanted to feed off the energy but the stifling defence of the Titan stamped out any sort of momentum the Pats would try to get.
While both teams battled hard in the first period, the Titan slipped a puck past Pats net-minder Max Paddock on an Adam Holwell shot with under four minutes to go in the opening frame.
