BLADES Grind it out.

Saskatoon opened up thier BC road trip in Kelowna against the Rockets.  Logan Flodell got the start. The Blades came away with the 4-2 win.  Saskatoon's top line did all of the scoring tonight! The Blades took 2 of the 3 stars of the game.

Saskatoon will travel to Victoria to face the Royals on Tuesday. It could be a tough game. Victoria beat up on the Edmonton Oil Kings tonight

Blades split weekend series.

The Saskatoon Blades played the Portland winterhawks on Friday.  I personally love it when US based teams visit Sask Tel centre.

Two hungry teams traded goals and it was a good game to watch. Big hits.

The Hometown Blades scored an empty netter and won 3-1. Logan Flodell was really good. That was win 3 in a row.

The Blades played a matinee against the Edmonton Oil Kings. Brock Hamm was given the start.  He played well making key saves when pressured.

The Blades did lose in overtime though.  Having guys like Cam Hebig out and Ryan Graham does hurt this team.

Saskatoon has a record of 4-3. They now head to BC for a 5 game battle. Starting Friday the 14th in Kelowna.

Blades Get 1st win on Home Ice.

Saskatoon played Prince Albert tonight newly acquired Logan Flodell posted a shut out. Great overall game by the Blades.  Saskatoon won. 2-0

The Blades will continue their home stand Saturday VS the Portland Winterhawks  Sunday VS Edmonton Oil Kings. 

Enjoy these photos from the game tonight.

Leafs VS Senators last night.

Last night was EPIC. I saw my favorite hockey team. The Toronto Maple Leafs played the Ottawa Senators at Sask Tel Centre. It was a star studded line up. Morgan Rielly. Nikita Zaitsev. Freddy Andersen. Antoine Bibeau. James Van Reimsdyk. Auston Matthews. Mitch Marner.

This game was well worth the price. Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner were gamers out there. When the Leafs had the 2-1 lead. I thought they would lock it down. Not the case. Ottawa tied the game up and scored again in Overtime.  So the Senators won. They were the hungrier team. After loosing monday night in Winnipeg.

Still very thankful that the Toronto Maple Leafs came to Saskatoon. The crowd booed Dion Phanuef for some reason. There was more Leafs fans in attendance. It is great to see.

Enjoy some photos

Blades split Road trip

The Saskatoon Blades lost 5-1 in Medicine Hat on Friday. However they came ready to play on Saturday in Cranbrook winning 3-2.

Team Canada defeated team Europe in 2 games. Former Saskatoon Blade goalie Braden Holtby was on the team but because of the depth of the team he did not see playing time. He knew his role.

The Leafs play the Senators at Sask Tel Centre on Tuesday. Go Leafs Go.  The Blades next home game is Thursday Oct 6th VS Prince Albert!  I hope Logan Flodell gets the start in goal as I have not seen him play yet.

More hockey??

One follower on twitter suggested that I talk about other hockey teams such as the Toronto Maple Leafs and team Canada. So I will try my best. Team Canada with Mike Babcock as coach faces Team Europe in a best of 3 final.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have begun training camp and will play pre season games. They are coming to Saskatoon on Oct 4th and yours truely has a ticket. I am excited!!

Blades Crash and Burn during Home Opener.

I expected more out of this team at the Home opener. Maybe all the buzz of Gordie Howe tribute day was a distraction?? The Blades were held off the score sheet. 6-0 was the final score. 70 games left. Long season. Saskatoon will travel to Medicine Hat for a tilt with the Tigers on Friday September 30th
