Medicine Hat secures spot in Tie-Braker
The Medicine Hat Tigers secured a spot in at least the Tie-Braker game after defeating the Plymouth Whalers 4-1 in game four of the 2007 MasterCard Memorial Cup Tournament in front of 12,601 fans assembled at Pacific Coliseum. "
If grammatical errors aren’t bad enough, how about factual errors? Can you spot the factual error in the caption under the picture on this site?

It was him. He's been there since Game 3 of the Championship Series, maybe longer.
Yeah that was the 1st time I saw him. I forgot to post it here, lol I dont understand why/how the giants got him

He's probably one of many seasonal employees the Lions have, along with the Felions and Leo.

The Giants had a golden opportunity to advance directly to Sunday's final but blew it with a 1-0 loss to Medicine Hat. They were out of sync all night. Bouncing pucks, bad passes etc. What's worse is that I had to endure Crazy P's incessant drumming. :bang:

I agree.

The best part of the night for me was sneaking into the post game concert with my friend. ahahah Trooper was so awesome! lol sure, only know the words to two of their songs (The boys in the bright white sports car, and Raise a little hell), but those were the last two songs, and by far the best! :rockin:

With a 7-1 lead over Plymouth in the 3rd period, it looks like the Giants will advance to the Memorial Cup final and get a chance at redemption against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

8-1 final. James Wright got his first and second of the Cup tourney and came very close to making it the first hat trick of this year's tourney. Nice!

Just got back from the game. Atmosphere was nuts. I've got a lot of pics to post, some turned out better than others.

I'm gonna take a shower, go grab some food, and I'll post them on my facebook page.
