Blades Streak Snapped By Cheifs. Gogol Is Gone.

The Blades home unbeaten streak is now gone. The Chiefs scored two quick goals all within the 1st 11 minutes of the game. Jake Trask for the Blades on a nice breakaway backhand deke move.

Josh Nicholls scored on a broken play,the puck came loose and he gained control and scored.

The score was 3-2 for Spokane after two periods and they were forchecking hard.

Teigan Zahn fought Dominik Uher and I would call this a draw. Alex Elliott fought Darren Krammer and this was a good fight both landed decent shots and at the end Krammer landed on top of Elliott and I think the way Elliott landed his visor came up and cut him under his nose or either a punch did that damage.

The Blades were a goal post away from tying the game late in the game. That says it all. The Blades picked up their play late in the game but Spokane was the better team and Jared Cowan was a force tonight.

Curt Gogol was traded earlier today to the Chilliwack Bruins along with an 8th round pick in 2011 for 18 year old winger/centre Chris Collins.

I like this trade because Collins is a year younger and hopefully brings offence.

3-2 was the final.

The Blades will hit the road again and play Cody Eakin and the Broncos tomorrow.
