Blades Suffer Shoot-out Loss.

Some people including myself will be very happy when and if Steven Stanford returns on friday.

Some people want to see Morrison traded,but that would potentially give the Blades a rookie starter in between the pipes next season.

I do not think Morrison will be traded though

The game was close through 20 minutes. Tied 1-1 after 1.

Seattle has a big team and they were always hitting the Blades.

The goals came more often in the 2nd period with the Blades scoring 3 times,Seattle scoring once.

Darian Dziurzynski and Brendan Dillion scrapped in the 2nd period,Both combatants landed some good shots but Dziurzynski landed a good shot at the start that popped Dillion's bucket off. Dillion was cut open a bit so you could give the decision to DD.

The Thunderbirds clawed their way back with 2 goals in the 3rd period. Their Powerplay was deadly tonight.

Overtime solved nothing. The Blades could not beat Calvin Pickard in the Shoot-out and Seattle Marcel Nobels scored for the T-Birds winning the game.

Friday the Blades host Nino Niederrieter Brad Ross(Leafs 2nd rounder2010) and the rest Portland Winterhawks.

Keep your eyes on Ty Rattie and Derrick Pouliot of the Winterhawks as well.
