The Blades played well last night,Krahn played very well in my opinion. Some of the rookies looked very good,others were not really noticeable. I am pretty sure that Charles Inglis will make the team this year(I sure hope so) After seeing Colin Joe in action for the first time as well as Milan Kytnar I think they are going to be key players for the Blades this season. Hopefully Burke Gallimore will be back soon(he got his bell rung by a head shot delivered by Mitch Versteeg) but a proper recovery is the most important thing. I am seeing a new side to Darian Dziurzynski he is dropping the gloves,I do not really know if that is a good thing,it depends on the situation I guess. Hopefully the Blades can come out with the same effort in the two other games that they play this weekend!

4 more hockey games for me to watch,and I love it!!!!
