Great balls of Blazer fire!!! Exciting playoff hockey! And who would have thunk it? The Blazers outhustling & outmuscling the Ice. If not for horrible officiating, would likely be 3-1 Blazers. Who's hot & who's not?
RED HOT
*Dubnyk: showing up Glass bigtime & that he's the CHL's superior goalie
*Tesliuk: seeing why Oilers drafted him: 5 pts & has been a beast
*Jorgensen: doing everything so well eg. faceoffs, backchecking
*Kassian: series power stud: plus 3, 2 points & major Koot smackdown
*Grochmal: hardest working Blazer: keeps on digging, digging, digging
*Hayman: best he has played in WHL; huge game three goal
HOT
*Bartley: making smart plays; tough & smooth at same time
*Moulton: brings all that he has
*Sagert: has been on the ball every game
*Bender: has been a force almost every shift
*Gentile: unbelievable on faceoffs; great hustle
*Hogg: showing he can be an agitator; has not taken bad penalties
*Nixon: playing with poise & confidence
*Ellerby: he can play with the big boys
WARM
*Delaronde: got game winner in game one, but inconsistent
*Macias: has been injured so hard to evaluate: team needs his offense
*Guiterrez: has been injured: but Grochmal much better on 1st line than him
*Irwin: a rookie who has not seen much ice time
*Kauk: a rookie who has not seen much ice time
*Chorneyko: a rookie who has not seen any ice time
*Olson: a rookie who has not seen any ice time
COLD
*Jasovsky: zero pts; can't believe he's playing, never-mind 2nd line & PP, PK
Power Play: LUKEWARM
Penalty Kill: RED HOT
If Blazers keep the fire stoked, this could come down to game seven.
