Blades Vs Warriors On Wednesday

[hobster]

Wow i can barrelly even predict this one both teams have horrid defence decent goalies and good fowards could be a 6-5, 7-6 kind of game, if the Blades want too be succesful this year there special teams are gonna really have too click .On a side note Colton Gillies will play his first preseason game with the minnesota wild tonight, we'll see if he gets sent back after the game.

Yeah, with the way the blades and warriors are playing it should be an interesting game. I dont think it will be that high scoring though, probably a close 3-2 game.

Even if Gillies gets sent home after their game tonight, he will have to sit out wednesdays game, so the earliest he could play would be fridays game in M.H. So in other words, I hope he gets a couple games in at least for the Wild, get some NHL play time and experience before he come back.

Ya i was aware of the Gillies thing he still has too serve his 1 game when he gets sent back, on the other hand if Holtby doesn't play strong on wednesday expect the warriors to pile in atleast 7 ,cause there offence is even more scayier than the wheaties were, should have never got rid of vertran Brett Ward.
