That CanadaWest.tv is one handy feature. While trying to watch HNIC's season debut and some MLB action between rain delays, I was able to watch the Banjo-Cats make a futile attempt at generating some offence. The Monkeys only won by 2 goals, yet it seemed more one-sided than that. The shots were 37-12, and though trailing Regina only had 3 shots on goal in the 3rd period. Just think: To win the game they needed to score on EVERY shot on goal in the 3rd period.
So the Primates are now tied with Manitoba with 4 points, and the square off next weekend. Meanwhile, Regina will go home-and-home with Sask in the Battle of the Melonheads.
CALGARY DINOS 3
UBC THUNDERBIRDS 4

I don't think it is too early to say that Calgary is off to a bad start. The 1-4-2 pre-season record could be written off due to the fact that they played 6 games against top CIS teams (Alberta, Acadia, St. FX, and UNB) and the Flames Prospects. But being shut-out twice on home ice and then a split at UBC, with the win coming in a shoot-out, does not make them look like the national contenders they were purported to be.
We should not overlook UBC, gaining 3 points on the weekend and vaulting into 3rd place. Once again, they were well out-shot. However, after being outshot 15-7 in the 1st period they were still up 1-0. Thereafter the shots (and goals) were dead even. Both teams switched goaltenders from Friday. Calgary gave Jacob DeSerres his first start and veteran Jordan White was in the UBC nets. Taylor Stefishen scored two goals for the Dinos for the second game in a row.
