The Moose Jaw Warriors laid it all on the line but had no luck at all during a four-game sweep by the Saskatoon Blades.

Kristian Roykas-Marthinsen banked a shot in off a Warrior just 4:36 into overtime to give the Blades a 4-3 win in Game 4 on Wednesday night at Mosaic Place, ending the Warriors’ season.

"I thought we played a real good game, best of the series, and we fell short, it's a tough feeling," said 20-year-old forward Tristin Langan. "I'm proud of all these guys in the room, all season long everyone doubted us and never even thought we'd make playoffs, but we did a good job and I'm proud of them."

Langan scored the biggest goal of the Warriors' season with an incredible individual effort, shorthanded, with 2:17 left in the third period to tie the game at 3-3. That came just 2:08 after Saskatoon's Kirby Dach scored the go-ahead goal for the Blades, shorthanded as well.

The Swan River, MB product said he went on the ice knowing that he needed to make something happen, "We were running out of time and a four-minute penalty there, so I'm glad it went it in, but we still fell short, so it's tough," said Langan after his final WHL game.

The Warriors will graduate Langan, along with fellow overages, defenceman Dalton Hamailuk and goalie Brodan Salmond from this year's team. Defenceman Josh Brook and forward Justin Almeida have both signed NHL contracts but are eligible to return for their 20-year-old seasons.

Brook said his four years with the Warriors are something that he will remember forever, "This city took me in right when I was 16, I can't say enough about the fans here, the people, the organization, the coaching staff, everyone I've met through my time in Moose Jaw, I can't say enough about them," said the Warriors' captain.

"We played great, it's tough always ending a season, it's emotional, everyone battled hard and I can't say enough about this team, we had a young team and everyone improved so much this year and it was great," added Brook.

Three of the four games in this series with the Blades were decided by one goal, and the fourth was 3-1 with an empty-net goal. Two of them went to overtime.

The Warriors know they were close.

"I'm proud of them, they competed unbelievably through four games," said Warriors head coach Tim Hunter. "We had a chance to win games, we didn't seem to find a way for whatever reason, but really proud of our team, really proud of the year that we had, the way they played for each other, competed and played the right way."

Game 4 was another back-and-forth contest.

Max Gerlach opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the series just 7:37 into the game, but the Warriors answered back before the end of the period when Luke Ormsby found the back of the net.

Warriors defenceman Matthew Benson would score his first WHL goal just 2:06 into the second period to give Moose Jaw the lead, but as they were able to do all series, Saskatoon answered back quickly as Tristen Robins scored 7:36 later.

The score stayed that way until Dach scored his shorthanded goal with 4:25 left in regulation. Langan responded for the Warriors to tie the game, but it wasn't meant to be.

"Tristin Langan is the heart and soul of this team and worked his bag off to score that goal, everyone was fired up and we definitely thought that we should have won that going into overtime, but it's hockey, anything can happen," said Brook.

Adam Evanoff put together another outstanding performance in goal for the Warriors, making 44 saves, including 17 in the first period to keep Moose Jaw in the game.

Saskatoon outshot Moose Jaw 48-26 in the win.

"I thought I played all right, obviously we didn't win so it didn't matter how well I played," said Evanoff, who went 0-3 in the playoffs but had a 0.923 save percentage.

"I couldn't be more proud of the boys, we came together, a lot of people counted us out for even the playoffs, so we didn't go down without a fight and I couldn't be more proud to call those guys my brothers."

The Warriors will come together again on Thursday to clean out their lockers and then head their separate ways for the summer.
