My Post Game Thoughts:

1st period
-Chris Driedger was excellent in the first period making 12 saves including an impressive right to left cross crease stop on Trevor Cameron who appeared to have an open net.
-Trevor Cheek had huge jump for the Hitmen and could of had a first period hat trick. 
-Spencer Humphries hit the crossbar from the neutral zone on a shot that fooled Broncos goalie Austin Smith.

2nd period
-Hitmen killed a pair of 5-on-3 Swift Current powerplays, one for 1:52 and another for 59 seconds.
-Justin Kirsch  scores 5:28 into the second period to chase Broncos starting goalie Austin Smith who allowed 3 goals on 19 shots.

3rd period
-The Hitmen scored three more times including a pair from Victor Rask who completed his first hat trick in the Western Hockey League.
