Blades Hang On To Defeat Pats.

Tonight was the 1st meeting between the Pats and Blades. After a disappointing US Division road trip,the Blades got right back on track with jumping out to a 4-1 lead at one point. The Pats are a good team this year and gave the Blades fits in the 3rd period. Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Josh Nicholls had a solid night collecting 2 goals and 1 assist.

He was a +4 on the night. The Blades did manage to win 5-3.

The Blades next home game is on Saturday October 29th @Prince Albert.

Blades Roadtrip Ends On A Sour Note.

Saskatoon took on the Spokane Chiefs tonight. Another game where they had the lead and gave it away. The Blades had a 3-1 lead during the game.

Dalton Thrower dropped the gloves against Spokane's Captain Darren Kramer and recent Ottawa Senators draft pick. Let's just say Thrower did not win this fight,he came out of it leaking. I am not sure if he returned to the game after that.

The final score was 5-3 for Spokane. Clearly the Blades are missing Trask,Collins and maybe someone else who I am forgetting. I think it was Stransky but he played tonight so I don't know.

The Blades next home game is against the Regina Pats on Wednesday October 26th.

Hopefully being back home will help them regain whatever they lost.

The Blades receive 3 draft picks I think this may be a smart move because those picks can be used to help load up for the 2013 Memorial Cup.
