Blades loose to Raiders in a Shoot-Out.....

I was able to listen to the last part of the 2nd period and the 1st 5 minutes or so of the final frame. The game was all tied up at that point 1-1. Overtime solved nothing......So the two teams went into a shoot-0ut. The Blades needed Burke Gallimore to score to keep the Blades alive but his attempt was unsuccessful.

The Raiders squeaked by the Blades 2-1.

Chris Sharkey is probably wanting to start a game sooner or later. We shall see if it does happen maybe he will have the chance to start one at the CUC.

The Blades next action is Saturday in Brandon...the game should be a good one.

The Blades record now stands at 2-1-0-2 good for 5 points and tied with the Wheat Kings for 1st in the east division.

One fun fact here: The Lethbridge Hurricanes are the highest penalized team in the league right now with 187 minutes in penalties. The Blades have 69 minutes in the sin bin and the least penalized team right now is the Everett Silvertips who only have 45 minutes in penalties
