Big Day for LEAF NATION!!!!!!!!!

Today the Toronto Maple Leafs aquired Dion Phanuef,Fredrik Sjostrom, and Keith Aulie from the Calgary Flames for Matt Stajan,Ian White,Jamal Mayers and Niklas Hagman.

I think that is alot to give up BUT THE LEAFS HAVE DION PHANEUF!!!!!!!

In another deal with the Anahiem Ducks they traded for J.S Giguire and gave up Vesa Toskala and Jason Blake.

Blades get even in weekend series with Broncos.

I only listened to the 3rd period of the game because I have a life yes it is true haha. The bridge city bunch took a 3-1 lead,and ended up winning the game by a count of 7-4. Charles Inglis added a short handed empty netter. Hopefully he can continue at this pace.

Things became heated at the end of the game with Darian Dzuirzynski being assesed a 10 minute misconduct for trying to convince a Bronco to drop the gloves but he wanted no part of Dzuirzynski.

The Blades earned 3 out of 4 points this weekend and that is KEY when battling with the Wheat Kings in the east division.

The Blades take on the Prince Albert Raiders on Wednesday next week and play Friday in Regina against the Pats.



EDIT: The game in PA will be on Shaw TV wooo hooo lol.

Blades Fall Short.

I read in the sports section of today's paper that the Blades have decided to make Curt Gogol have surgery to fix his hand/arm. So there is a possibility that if the Blades go on some sort of a playoff run Gogol could be back then. Now the injured list for the Blades is: Zahn,Hamilton and Gogol.

Please NO MORE injuries to this team because if that happens they will be up the creek. The Blades did play Swift Current tonight in front of a crowd of just over 4,000.

I am gonna try and keep it short. The Blades played a decent hockey game but most of the Swift Current goals were off of bad passes that were intercepted by the Broncos and deposited into the net past Steven Stanford.

Surprisingly Darian Dzuirzynski was not throwing his body around as much as in previous games. The Blades still played physical against the Broncos though.

All of the Blades recent games have been close one goal games and this game was the same. I thought it was a very evenly matched game.

I think that the Blades are doing the some of the things that they need to in order to win but they need to capitalize on their chances.

Duncan Siemens is sure taking advantage of his playing time he even was involved in a tussle & boy oh boy does he like to get rough!!!!!!!!

The Broncos battled hard to tie the game and outworked the Blades in the extra period scoring with about 2 and a half minutes left in the Overtime. Plain and simple they wanted it more. They got it too.

Final 4-3 for the Broncos and these two teams will meet again Saturday in Swift Current.

The next time the Blades play at Credit Union Centre is on Febuary 6th which I think is a Saturday. The Blades will make stops in Pa and Regina before then.

The Blades did earn a single point so now the Blades have 73 points on the season.

Game Day VS Broncos.

Tonight the Bridge city bunch will play the Swift Current Broncos in a home and home series this weekend ( and a team that I have yet to see since the trade deadline) So I am glad that I will be able to see Stepan Novotny and the rest of the Broncos.

The Blades defeated the Moose Jaw Warriors a game which was shown on Rogers Sportsnet. It was a perfect time to break the winless slump!!!!!

If the Blades can continue to come out of the gate like this they should be able to maintain the lead in the standings.

Look for another solid effort tonight but I am sure the Broncos will not be a push over either.

Blades Hold off Warriors

The Blades jumped out to a 3-0 lead and there were fights in this game too (something we have not really seen much of lately) I only saw periods and at the end of the 2nd it was 3-1.

The Warriors did manage to tie the game up and force overtime,but the Blades solved that by putting a shot past the Warriors netminder.

The final score was 4-3 in favor of the Blades,so they snapped their winless streak and will take on the Swift Current Broncos on Friday at the CUC.

Blades Host Warriors On Rogers Sportsnet.

Tonight the struggling Blades will faceoff against the Moose Jaw Warriors. The Blades have lost their last 3 games and are seeing their east division lead slip away. I am still unsure if I should go to the game or stay home and watch it? Also keeping in mind that I have an indoor soccer game at 9 pm. I think I will go to the game and watch 2 periods hopefully.

This is news to me that Marek Viedensky was drafted by the San Jose Sharks, I saw that in the Hockey News magazine that I bought today. I guuess I need to step it up in the research department haha.

I think all Blades fans are hoping for a better result tonight.

The Blades need wins to stay atop.

Where Did They Go??? Blades go 0-2 this weekend.

Everyone was probably hoping for 2 things in this game..... Better officiating and a Blades win. They did get one of those.

The Blades could have won this game but again they faced a team that is hot.

The Blades scored 2 goals and the Wheaties scored 5 enough said. The Blades pulled their goalie late in the game for the 2nd straight game and did not tie either of the games.

Randy McNaught dropped the gloves...yes he did with Jordan Hale another big boy. This was an entertaining fight and a really close one.

The Hardest Working Player of the game was Walker Wintoneak and the Hit of the Game was thrown by the Captain Derek Hulak.

On a side not PA defeated the Kootenay Ice snapping their 14 game winning streak.

The bridge city bunch has two home games next week I think they fall on a wednesday and friday. Hope for better results next week.

Oh wow I almost forgot to mention.....I didnt want to say this but it did happen unfortunatly Curtis Hamilton broke his collarbone in last nights game against the Ice but in a different spot!!!!! ahhhhhhhh You have to feel for him because he missed out on the Top Prospects Game and now he returns for 1 game and it is broken again. SO he most likely misses the rest of the season. All this because of what I think is a STUPID SERIES Canada VS Russia (only because of this exact situation) A player becomes injured and ok so I am bitter..... Deal with it.

Ok so I am really dissappointed that Curtis Hamilton is injured again and did not have a real chance to show scouts what he can do....sure there are most likely scouts at every game that the Blades play but IMO to miss the Top Prospects Game is HUGE!!!!!!!

I do not know where this will put him in the rankings ect ect.
