All the Eastern Conference Matchups are set.

1 Saskatoon vs. 8 Prince Albert
2 Red Deer vs. 7 Edmonton
3 Medicine Hat vs. 6 Brandon
4 Kootenay vs. 5 Moose Jaw


I think the matchups set up really nicely for the Blades. Some DAMN good teams are going to be knocked out right off the bat, and it also ensures that the Blades won't have to face the Rebels in round 2, which is a huge positive as I think they are the biggest threat besides Saskatoon.

Here's how I see it shaping up:

Saskatoon over PA in 5 (maybe 6)
Red Deer over Edmonton in 5
Brandon over Medicine Hat in 6
Kootenay over MJ in 7 (but I could see MJ winning too)

If that all happened, that would mean:

Saskatoon vs. Brandon and Red Deer vs. Kootenay in round 2.

I see it being pretty close to that as well. It pains me to make the one change but I think Brandon's inexperience on the back-end, and between the pipes, eventually catches up to them against Med Hat ...

Saskatoon over PA in 4 (the Blades are just better, period)
Red Deer over Edmonton in 5
Medicine over Brandon in 7 (real close series but home ice goes to the Hat)
Kootney over Moose Jaw in 6 (but Kootney gets banged up for round 2 ...)

So if that came true, it would be Saskatoon v Kootenay and RD v Med Hat. Two damn good series.

Blades def. P.A. in 4 (The Blades have played dopey in P.A. before, but this time after winning the first two games at home, the Blades will win big in P.A. in game 3. The Raiders aren't tough and when we push they roll over and take it).

Red Deer def. Edmonton in 5 (Kuemper isn't as good as everyone says, you watch...he'll lose at least one game for Red Deer by letting in some stinkers).

Brandon def. Medicine hat in 6 (Brandon fills the net at home. Sure the Tigers have the speed, but a good team game will beat them every time, plus Glennie and Stone are much more dangerous than Vey and Etem).

Moose Jaw def. Kootenay in 6 (Eakin is a defensive liability, at least he has been playing against the Blades. Sure the Ice are balanced on all lines, but the Warriors have a better goaltender I think and their toughness will wear the Ice down, plus with this being the final year of the Crush Can, you can be sure Kootenay will get run out of that building).

Guess i will try this too

Saskatoon over P.A in 5 Raider fans should be happy with 1 home win
Red Deer over Edmonton in 5 same thing as the Blades series
Med Hat over Brandon in 7 Very high scoring last goal wins
Moose Jaw over Kootenay in 6 the rough and tough Warriors to much for the smaller Ice

First of all, the CHL is offering prizes if you can pick the most series right in each of the leagues across the CHL. Here is the link: http://www.driveforthecup.com/?utm_source=CHL_Network&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=Prestone

My Picks
Prince Albert at Saskatoon
-Saskatoon (4)
Saskatoon has simply too much playoff experience at about 180 games to the Raiders 38. The high end depth of Saskatoon and the Blades trio of Elliott, Siemens, Zahn will prove too much for PA. Blades also have the edge in goal by a good margain. Can PA stop Schenn, Viedensky, Nicholls, Hamilton and the Blades league leading offence. PA has a few guys that can score but it looks very light compared to the Blades.

Edmonton at Red Deer
-Red Deer (5)
The Rebels defensive style and hard in your face checking game will be too much for the inexperienced Oil Kings. Sure Dylan Wruck had a nice regular season and St. Croix as well but these kids are going to need some experience first to excel later. This is Red Deer's year maybe. Darcy Kuemper can throw up goose eggs and the Red Deer top end depth is far too much for Edmonton to handle.

Brandon at Medicine Hat
-Medicine Hat (7)
There is no doubt that Brandon has offence and are able to score but guess what? Everyone forgets that Medicine hat also has offence! Lets not forget Linden Vey led the league in points with 116 and Vey and Etem had over 45 goals each. Hamilton and Tochkin provide nice secondary scoring as well. Brandon has 2 great scoring lines and a 3rd line that is coming around but their yound defense and PK will be the un-doing here. Also Tyler Bunz is one of the conferences best.

Moose Jaw at Kootenay
-Kootenay (6)
The Kootenay depth is far too much for Moose Jaw to handle in this one. The ice mortgaged a bit of the future in acquiring one of the best players in Canada to go with what was a deep team already. They now have their game breaker! 4 playes scored over 30 goals, McNabb one of the leagues top defenders and the overall depth too much like I said. Moose Jaw does have some size and grit but Lyon will miss the first two in Kootenay and Beach is hurting so that takes a lot away from Moose Jaw's game.

My Picks..

Saskatoon v. Prince Albert (Blades in 5) - The Blades are too strong and are much more experienced than the Raiders. It will be nice to see this rivalry heat up again.

Red Deer v. Edmonton (Oil Kings in 7) - This is my upset in the first round. Red Deer had a great season, but I just have a feeling that if Edmonton plays them tough, the wheels will fall off in Red Deer. Kuemper had a good regular season, but he has had troubles when the games have really mattered (see any game they've played against Saskatoon lately).

Medicine Hat v. Brandon (Tigers in 7) - Brandon has the horses to take this series, but I believe that home ice will matter in this one. The barn in Medicine Hat can be tough to play in, and Brandon will hit a wall in game 7.

Kootenay v. Moose Jaw (Warriors in 6) - I saw a lot more from Moose Jaw this season than I did from the Ice. The Warriors have a gritty team that is going to surprise a lot of people. Even though they don't have home ice advantage, I think the Crushed Can is going to give the Warriors a bit of a boost. As long as Beach doesn't take too many stupid penalties.

Brandon will steamroll the Tigers....and Eakin is a defensive liability (-2 tonight) and Moose Jaw can play more of a playoff style type of game.

saskatoon pa game one tonight.

experience and depth are the big advantages for the blades. saskatoon's second line would be capable of being a first line on some other teams. nicholls-viedensky-dziurzynski put up big points against the raiders in 8 regular season games. i would expect the hamilton-schenn-trask to see the raiders top checking line. so it'll be big for the blades second line to take advantage.

three of the 8 regular season games were one goal games.

herrod, parker, revenko, and mcneill must play huge for the raiders to even hope for an upset. tucker and williams have to steal some games. and the raiders overall defense must be better than the 283 goals against they gave up during the regular season.

little things. saskatoons penalty kill scored 22 short handed goals this year, pa's power play gave up 13 short handed goals. pa's road power play is pretty good, so saskatoon can't be undisciplined. whoever shakes the jitters first and gets down to playing their game will have a quick advantage.

not going to lose too many games averaging almost 7 goals for, and only 1.5 against.

game one the raiders played a good first shift, game two a good first period. i'd expect them to come out with a full game effort in game three. if the blades can keep themselves in that first game in p.a., or have a lead after the raiders come out hard, then the series could be over quick.

the raiders defense and goaltending have not been good. williams has been slightly better than tucker. the defense allowing too many quality chances, being skated around, and not closing their gaps quick enough.

a huge difference for the blades has been their third line with collins-benson-stransky. the blades depth is hurting p.a.

good for the blades defense, and forwards coming back, on keeping the raiders to the outside in game one. stanford played well in game two when p.a. came out hard in the first.

Thought Thower was pretty classless to sucker punch Connor. If you going to fight somebody give the shin pad tap , move away from the boards and sticks, unbukle the lid and square off. Have a look at the Blades website highlight reel of game 2. Just after Connor got suckered, it shows Connor still had his gloves on and the website people are stupid enough to show it. They sure crapped the bed on that video.

If he had his gloves on, how did he get a fighting major? Watch the link, then comment. http://www.hockeyfights.com/fights/104394

Another classic fight by connor. Got one punched down, AGAIN! You guys keep saying "sucker punch", kinda makes me wonder if you even know what that is! Thrower was pumped about knocking your heavyweight down with only one clean punch, not that he was leaking! I guess you need something to complain about since the scores werent even close.

Why do you keep saying "take off the rose colored glasses" ? Connor wasent wanting to fight that game because he had stiches over his lip. The hit wasent from behind, and theres no doubt that Thrower started punching before Connor even knew he was in a fight. You guys are talking like Thrower knocked Connor out or something. He did knock him down but celebrated like he was the heavyweight champ or something. Did you see Ruopp do anything after his fight ? He did the same thing as Siemens did skated to the box to serve the penalty. Two guys that understand what its about.

Gotta take the good with the bad when it comes to Ruopp yes he dished out a huge hit but the kid is a -9 in 2 games and his skating has looked very bad

LMAO FYI I was at the game and Connor challenged Thrower to fight before, but Thrower was at the end of his shift. Connor didn't get hit until his gloves were off, pretty sure you know you are in a fight when your gloves are off. Hey, at least your ****ty teams season is almost over so we don't have to read your biased posts spouting off bull**** cuz Connor got KNTFO YA BABY!!! :clap::groovy:

celebrating like a champ cause he punched a guy square in the stitches ? lucky there was no instigator (btw how did siemans not get one ?). in the hockey fights vid you even hear cody mention how connor had fresh stitches from a puck to the face the night before. thats about as classy as pulling a cowan on elliot at the end of the series (or schenn etc...)
unnecessary cheap and dirty. nothing to be proud of. oh well there is always karma right ?

So you shouldnt fight anyone who has stitches? Maybe he should have a bubble on then! Think part of the celebration is in part to putting an exclamation mark on the game. You can keep saying how dirty/cheap it was, but fact is they were looking at each other & dropped the gloves! Just like 70% of other fights this year. Connor got it handed to him by a 17 yr old.

But good question on the siemans/ruopp fight. How was there no 10 min misconduct? Siemens did the best thing for schenn, stopped him from getting 2-5-10!

I don't think Thrower was celebrating "because he punched a guy in the stitches". He was celebrating because he knocked down a guy 4-5 inches taller than him after landing 2-3 nice punches. That's regardless of who got the gloves off first.

And isn't that Connor's role with the Raiders? He should be ready for that AT ALL TIMES, regardless if he has stitches or not. This is the playoffs.

After the game, talking to some fans (blades fans), commented that connor stepped on one of there sticks that was below his feet duringt the fight, and thats why they went down so fast, which makes sense to me, and after watching the vidio several times you dont see connors head snap or anything, and the vidio shows the puck and stick between connors feet.
Starting a fight with a sucker punch and ending the way it did, is nothing to be proud of at all. At least those blades fans felt that way.
Some one posted earlier that connor was wanting to go thrower earlier, but thrower was at the end of shift, and connor respected that, connor could have suckered him then, but didn't.
The vidio on the blades website game 2 highlight, clearly shows throwers left sucker punch right at the start of all this.

Zahn doesn't have to be a league heavy weight. His job is a shut-down defender and is far more valuable on the ice than sitting in the penalty box.

Zahn was voted by players, GM's, coaches as the best defensive defenseman in the league.

I think the fighting can be left for the depth guys. But if you make Zahn mad enough, the bear will attack.

2 he had stitches 24 hours prior
3 im hardly against hard hitting hockey and fighting. had the instigator been removed we wouldnt be seeing crap like this.
4 there certainly is karma

I don't know if you guys have seen or not, but I took a look at the Raiders facebook page....wow...I don't think the fans in P.A. get out much and probably sit in front of their computers all day playing bingo online, since they can actually play bingo and smoke in the house at the same time! LOL

The Blades page is fairly tame I think, with just the Go Blades stuff on it, but the Raiders fans up north are seriously bad mouthing the Blades and trashing them....it's kinda bizarre that they think they're good enough to win...take a look at it and tell me what you think

I will give the Raiders some credit, they played a good game, obviously good enough to win.

But the Blades outplayed PA for the last 40 minutes of the game. If it wasn't for some stupid mistakes (Siemens, *** are you doing?!?!?) and some questionable reffing (How was Schenn being hauled down in the dying minutes not a penalty?!?!?) then this game would have been a Blades W.

If Saskatoon can play 60 minutes tomorrow night like they did in the last 40 tonight, they will definitely be up 3-1 heading home for Saturday.

Kudos to PA on last nights win. They came out hard and stuck to thier game plan, hard forecheck and hit everything that moves. I enjoyed the game other than the fact we lost. We need a better effort and a decidedly more phisical affair tonight. Our forecheck was non existant and needs to be better. PA has a good team, they played hard to get in and they dont want to go away with out a fight. That showed lastnight. We need to play better PA was the better team lastnight. I also love the full atmosphere in the rink, loud and proud. Make sure every BLADE fan gets to CUC for game 5, and get off the seats and get LOUD!!!

Really read the last month worth of post on this, most of the people on this page have said we locked first and we are coasting. you cant say we were playing our best hockey just before the playoffs!!, yes we won our games but we did not dominate the way we could. Games one and two were better hockey than we played in over a month. Maybe after those two games they were a bit over confident, maybe. PA played well and run into the playoffs playing damn good hockey. I hope the boys feel that breath on thier necks and start to play the way we all know they can.

That last sentence is crap,say what you want but I do not think Schenn would just quit on this team and want to go to the NHL. He has not won a Memorial Cup and he obviously wants one and so do the Blades but they do not look like a contending team right now.

Here is hoping that the Blades play better in games 5 and 6. Not too sure if the whole fake Brayden Schenn facebook crap got them off of thier game but whatever. It is a home team series,and hopefully the Blades can take out the Raiders in 6!!!!

Can someone tell me if Siemans will be back or not tonight?

As far as the series goes, yeah, I thought it would be 4 or 5 games only with the Blades coming out on top, but I didn't think they would have two stinkers in a row on the road. Usually this year when we've played a poor game, the team steps up and takes it to the opposition in the next one.

The Blades this year have had their challenges when playing in the smaller rinks, such as Moose Jaw or P.A. It's as if it maybe takes too much out of them to play a crash and bang physical style on a smaller ice surface? Maybe on the regular sized ice it's easier for us because we have the space where we can line up our hits a bit easier? I think the Blades will win game 5, then they will probably stink up the joint in game 6, forcing a game 7 here on Tuesday night.

I just hope Stanford doesn't fall apart and let in some poor goals like he did against Brandon last year. If he starts flubbing the shots, Morrison needs to get in there to stop the bleeding.

Did you watch the two games in PA by chance?

I don't think you could call either of them "stinkers". The team played well enough to win both games, PA just got the job done. Just because it's a loss doesn't mean you played bad.

They could have easily won both games.

As for Siemens, sounds like that is still up in the air. I was at the games in PA and he looked pretty raw walking off the ice. I would be shocked if he played tonight based on how he looked during that game.

If Siemens would've connected on that hit, Herrod would've been seriously hurt. It would've been a legal hit but Herrod turtled and Siemens rammed his knee hard into the boards. He went off to the dressing room and came out and played a couple shifts and then went off for good.

David Struch in the post-game show said that "he just needed a rest". That is all he said on the situation.

In my opinion, he didn't run at him and I swear it was Herrod. I will have to watch it again on the archives today.

As for the rink, yeah, the media guide and online it says the rink is "200 by 85", but I can guarantee you it's not.

I would bet it's actually atleast 20 feet shorter and 10 feet skinnier than those dimensions say.

I just watched the archive on the Siemens attempted hit. It was in fact on Herrod, just over center ice. It is unclear as to wheter Herrod lost an edge or ducked the hit. My guess, is he ducked it.

THere was absolutely no charge from center ice...He glided in to him and if he connected Herrod would've been hurt in a big way. However, Herrod is ok and Siemens is hurt.

Well, you know what. I believe last game the Blades had 5743 fans. Which works out to less than half full at 40% capacity which would seem pretty empty when you look around compared to playing in PA where they have the whole rinked packed.

In terms of fan support, you can look at it this way. According to the 2006 census and I know both cities have grown since then but we'll use that census. The City of Prince Albert had 34,138 people and last game they drew 3111 fans which is: 9% of the city population.

The Saskatoon population is according to the 2010 census is 224,300. In game 1, they had 8144. That works out to 3.6% of the Saskatoon population who attended and in game 2 it was just 2.6 of the city population who came. Even if the Blades sold out, it would only be 6.3%.

That's the key in my mind. Even if they did sell out it wouldn't match the % that the Raiders are able to get.

I would expect the Raiders to sell out with a rink that small.

As for the Blades, it's great to see more and more fans showing up to the games. Even if they aren't sellouts, it's still nice to see.

Once they shrug off the pesky Raiders and get deeper into the postseason, I would expect crowds of 12,000+ regularly.

Why would you "expect" a larger percentage of fans in P.A to come to games? Another thing to keep in mind is Saskatoon has hosted weekend games and the Raiders have gotten a Wed and Thursday night game. Theres no doubt in my mind a Saturday night game would have sold out. And they were only 200 off a sell out as it was.

I never said that.

I said I would expect them to sell out because their rink is smaller, thus making it easier to sell out....

I never said anything about expecting "larger percentages".

Hockey Spy

Read my breakdown above. Prince Albert has gotten about 9% of its city population at the game. Saskatoon about 3%. If if Saskatoon could up that to 5% and get 11,000 that would suffice but the Rink is too big for a loud atmosphere. However, closing that one end in with seats has helped.

You guys on here are all full of crap I work at the ahc and the ice surface is infact 200 by 85 I have measured it myself because in case you didn't notice we put a new board system in last summer and all the measurments are correct so quit making excuses for a talented team "the blades" who just got out worked by a team that wanted it more on those two nights. This series is far from over and I am looking forward to game 6 on sunday night.

I need to get away from the playoffs for a minute and ask you guys a question. I tried to e-mail the Blades and I got a poor response. Here is my question....

I got a letter in the mail in the way of a renewal form for next years season tickets. It said "First, it is important to note that we are holding the price of season ticket packages for you for the 2011- 2012 season." *
The asterisk says "Due to increased costs, there has been a very slight increase to some of our flex packages." Here are my questions.

1) If you go to the Blades website, they still have this current seasons season ticket prices on it. Take a look at the early bird prices. They say $425. Next years early bird price is $449.

2) There is a new ticket category with a Youth designation now. The letter stated that "We have grandfathered in the prices for our current season ticket holders so they will not be affected with the creation of a new ticket category."

3) I emailed the Blades and the reply I get was "I have no idea what he is talking about… He is right prices have increased have they not". That to me sounds like someone that isn't aware of what the team sends out.

I am just wondering if you guys think I have a legit concern or not. First, the season tickets are different from the flex packages, so I'm not sure the asterisk on the letter is correct, in fact dare I say it was either a typo or very misleading. The increase just works out to over $20 for season tickets for next year. I know you may think geez Trev, stop whining, but think about it for a moment. If the team sends out these letters year after year, trying to sneak these increases in of $20 here and $20 there, they will eventually price themselves out of the market and have season ticket holders not renew.

Plus, I don't agree with the fact that if you buy a flex package for next year, which is 36 tickets in all, they get seriously hosed. The early bird for those is $479. Chances are you don't take just yourself to 36 games, what if you take a few people to say 24 games? That's like paying way more than the walk-up price during the season.

So, I guess my question is this.... it seems to me that they were misleading in the letter, and the reply I got from the office didn't make it sound like they know what's going on either. Do you think I have a legitimate concern or not? I just think the customer service people should script a better reply than that, and get their facts straight before they send out those letters.

I just posted this here because I knew it would get more replies than if I just created a new posting on its own. Thanks for the input! I look forward to your opinions.

Quit trolling the Blades forum looking for a fight obviously you are pretty new here and have nothing better to do your ice surface is smaller deal with it and move on

I realize you guys are upset being tied with PA but c'mon not everything you blades fans say is 100 % accurate every time like you think. Is there any chance a blade fan could be wrong. oh right you all said it was over in 4 . Unless one of you guys goes to game SIX and measures the rink I and most everyone else will believe the the guy that works there.Anyone scanning the blades forum must wonder HMMMM make a comment that disagrees with the blades gospel and you're trolling looking for a fight weird . Thought that was called dialog or debate.

Its funny no other time during the course of the past 10 yrs have i ever heard a team say that the PA ice surface is smaller. The only rinks that come up with in topic when talking about smaller ice surfaces is MJ & Portland.

Its funny the excuses teams will use when they just got out worked in back to back games. Why not just say the work ethic needs to be better especially on the road. But thats Saskatoon's way, make excuses that aer out of there control then its not there fault... right??

I hope tonite the Raiders put a strangle hold onto this series & got up 3-2 in the series (do i think its going to happen? nope but would be nice) If you can get Stanford off his game the Blades are just another avg team out there. Look at Morrison's numbers for the season & it shows its 110% the truth.

Couldn't ask for a better way to end the series. Tuuuuckeeeeeer.

I still can't believe the effort the Raiders were able to bring for games 3 and 4. Very very impressed with them this series. I didn't expect more than 4 games but they played very hard. I think seeing this kind of effort from the Raiders and the adversity will help the Blades next round.

3. P.A fans getting kicked out of the CUC for being to drunk and swearing in front of kids....to correct your story it was Blade fans that where kicked out in our section in all 3 games in saskatoon for verbal abuse.

4. 4 adults 2 wearing blade jersey's spilling beer on kids seats......



I am not saying all raider fans are proper either. It is a good rivalry with a few boneheads from both sides out there. I wish the Blades good luck, it would be nice to see a team from the East division capture the prize. I for one found this series to be very entertaining. It was a very classy move lastnight to see both teams shake hands and bang there sticks.

MH 5 BRA 2 AFTER 2 PERIODS LOOKS LIKE A KOOTENAY VS SASKATOON SERIES

Regular season between these teams were Blades winning 4 games to none and outscoring Kootenay 20-8 thats a average of a 5-2 win i know the playoffs are different but the truth is some teams just match up better against other teams the style Brandon plays i think we may have had a bit of trouble vs them

My prediction is Blades win the first 2 at home split in koot then win in game 5

Blades in 5

they were not ejected they were asked to move. the 3 werent causeing any harm. one was banging the glass and the clip on the top of the glass fell off. in that section blades fans were ejected for throwing beer at people in raider jerseys.

there were complete idiots on both sides. when i saw two girls in raider jerseys being harassed after the game (5) i thought it was ridiculous the overall lack of respect between people is just plain sad

blades ice round two.

very evenly matched. both teams can score lots of goals, both teams are solid defensively, and have veteran goaltending. both have about the same amount of playoff experience. saskatoon has an edge in coaching experience.

saskatoon has 28 goals for 15 against in the playoffs.
kootenay has 18 goals for 15 against in the playoffs.
saskatoon averaged almost 5 goals a game in the first round, kootenay three in the first round.

will the blades have success or not shutting down kootenay's top line, and if the ice are able to get secondary scoring? can kootenay match the blades second and third lines? at the end of the first round against p.a. molleken changed his lines up a little. wonder if he'll juggle things again in round two?

special teams. kootenay's power play was awful in the first round. saskatoon's so-so. the blades had the second best penalty kill in the first round, kootenay fourth best.

a big part of kootenay's success in the first round was limiting the shots against. can they do that against saskatoon?

Byblow was crap, Zahn was getting away with crap all game long. At one point he was cross-checking Boomer from behind along the boards about 5-6 times till he fell down and still gave him 2 more to make sure he couldn't get up in time to get the puck. Absolute Garbage, but I've come to learn to expect officiating like this. The Dub doesn't have the best track record for its officials.

I thought the refs just let the boys play tonight. Saskatoon did not deserve to win that game at all, they barely gave themselves any really good chances and Schenn was a ghost.

our best players need to be our best players! they werent last night....schenn was invisible and took a bad penalty (which they scored on)...trask hasnt been the same since his concussion...and how can elliot look so good on some plays but so bad on others??? he is very offensive minded i get that... but so very soft in his own end when he is trying to get the puck out...every good team has to overcome adversity during a year and the game last night is definitely a test going in to saturday night...they need to come out hard and fast and score the first goal early...im sure they know tonight is a must win...i dont think they can dig themselves out of a 2-0 series deficite going into kootenay...

They made the Blades look bad and if they can bring that intensity for 3 more games I don't think the Blades will match them. I don't get to see Kootenay play much but last night I was very impressed with the game plan they brought to the opener.

by this point in the season is it up to the players or coaches? all the systems and lines etc have long been in place...despite tweeks here and there it is up to the players to have a gut check...i really think its sad how the coaches always get the brunt of the crap that hits the fan...they are not on the ice and cant make that second or third effort on a play .... and thats what wins playoff hockey....the blades were lucky to even make overtime, so many unpressed turnovers all over the ice....it was ridiculous. it looked like a first 5 games of the year type game....it is horrible timing for he blades, but nonetheless here we are down 2-0...are we done?...its up to the players...not coaches...nuff said!

The other thing to ask is what is it about Brayden Schenn? So far teams built around him seem to almost always lay an egg when it matters most. What's happening to the Blades seems an awful lot like what happened to the Wheat Kings against Calgary last year.

I think if they lose this series in 5 or even 6, the GM takes the fall after how much was traded for Schenn. Expectations are extremely high and to not even come close should have consequences. Still lots of series left and too much talent on the Blades to write them off yet, but they need to figure it out in the next 2 days or they're cooked.

Well, I think for one thing, Kootenay has played 2 very solid defensive games, limiting our chances to a very few, I also noticed that when Nathan Leuiwen gives up rebounds, there is always 3 black jerseys in front of him, we need to do more of that, also Leuiwen has been good when he has to be, making key saves, so has Stanford, they need to change their game plan going in to Kootenay........ hopefully this 2011 road playoff magic will keep going, so they can force a game 5 and maybe a game 7...........

hmmm or maybe the players just feel that Schenn's head isnt into the WHL playoffs anymore cuz he knows the quicker the Blades are done the quicker he is off to the NHL playoffs against 1 of the Kings rivials...

like me & my bosss were talking today its not like Schenn has any tight ties to the Blades to want to excell he is a rental player, Schenn would of most likely wanted to stay in the playoffs longer if he had stayed in Brandon due to the close ties with the players & coaches there a place he started his junior career. Yes Schenn is a hometown boy but he can taste the NHL already 2 more games & Schenn could be in LA by Thrusday midday

Too bad Schenn has actually been one of the Blades big guns to actually show up so far....he does lead the team in scoring this postseason you know...

If anyone should be called out it's guys like Viedensky, Nicholls, Hamilton and Dziurzynski. Those are the players that haven't been doing enough on the scoreboard.

1st game, yes. 2nd game? He was invisible if you watched it on Shaw with no audio. The cameras follow the puck, you obviously did not see him backchecking, making big hits after a quick pass and showing lots of emotion and getting the bench jacked up.

If Schenn's goal was lucky then all goals are lucky. He jumped to grab the puck out of the air, set it down and take a solid shot from the point without having it get blocked. Kootenay has been excellent at blocking shots and for him to make that play with a Kootenay player 4 feet away is not even close to being luck.

I think it's time you take off the goggles and quit being so bias because you hate the Blades. I understand rivalries but if you actually think Schenn is trying to get out of the WHL to play a few games in the show instead of chase a Memorial Cup, you're delusional.

Why is everyone assuming he would play for Kings this year even if the Blades are eliminated early?? If he plays 2 more games this year, he loses a year on his entry level contract, meaning it would cost the Kings millions (assuming he is a success in NHL) in 2014.

Brayden Schenn is not going to make an impact in the NHL playoffs this year to warrant this kind of long term expense. The Kings would have to be extremely desperate.

schenn is not the team. he is a component who will play his shift in turn. The top two lines were invisable, and our shots on goal were of poor quality with little traffic. we didnt win any battles along the boards and both the fore and back checks were dissmal. the lone bright spot was the third and fourth lines. i thought olsen, sutter, and sohn looked very good and did what they were out there for, hit and make some noise. i hope the boys lace up the skates with a clear picture of what needs to be done, or they will be! win the small battles, be a physical force and the rest will fall in line. there is lots of time, but it has to start tomorrow night. GO BLADES GO....!

Actually he could play all the way to the stanley cup finals (if the kings can get that far) & it wouldnt effect his contract status at all.... remember they dont get paid anything to play in the playoffs they play for the chance at the cup only.

And u cant tell me LA wouldnt like him in a few NHL playoff games to get a real look at the intense level of play.

Tonights game is the most important game in this series, if the Blades fail to win tonight this series is all over & the Blades great season comes to an end earlier then expected.

I actually don't anticipate Schenn going to LA this season.From what I hear coming out of LA is if the Blades lose out. He is probably heading to Manchester, along with Linden Vey from Medicine Hat. The reason being that they feel he'd benefit from playing in a longer playoff run. It is very unlikely that the Kings will get beyond the first round, whereas the Monarchs are legitimate Calder Cup contenders.

Coach is being outcoached and the players are flat out being outworked.

Lorne hasn't made any adjustments to find a way around or through the neutral zone and as a result we just cant make any forward progress and in turn spend the whole game chasing instead of being chased.

The defense needs to learn their positions.....Siemens and Deitz have looked awful and why they are still wind up out on the ice together is beyond me. Gotta shake things up when things arent working and now its likely too late regardless.

Shame that a good season is going down the crapper. The team is better than this. As much as it pains me to say it as I do not like placing blame on anyone but the players...if Molleken doesnt adapt here and if nothing else at least get the boys motivated.....well I think you know the rest. Clearly there is a problem and "talent" isnt it.

I don't F**** know, I'm getting tired of this, WE are better than Kootenay, I know we are, something has happen to us, I just hope we win tomorrow nights game, so we can see you guys one more time....... but I doubt that is going to happen.........., sorry blades fans, I have given up hope.............:(

It is really too bad that a hugely talented team will be swept in the 2nd round...they have given up you can tell the desire is gone. Despite stanford there play has been horrid. Game 3 could easily been 7-0...teams like this don't come around often in junior hockey and its being throwin away. I'm not sure why but the hard work and determination is gone from this team...don't get me wrong kootenay has played well...but its easy to look good against a team standing still.....blades thought they would win this series on talent alone...but guess what...hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard...everytime...I for one am unsure of renewing my season tickets at this point...call me whatever you want but I'm tired of watxhing a good regular season to lose in the second round every year!

Kinda hard not to give up when it seems the team has already as well. Kooteney is hot right now and clearly the Blades are not. Being outworked for the entire 60 minutes will not win you any games. But then at some point you have too look at the guys behind the bench. I **** you not at one point watching Lorne and Struch behind the bench it almost looked like a "I don't know what to do" and a "Well neither do I" conversation.

Saskatoon got unraveled in the series against PA. Most won't admit it, but to let an 8th place team take you to 6 games, the mentality of "can we do this" starts to set in.

Yet another game where ur all mighty Schenn has done nothing... Memorial Cup calls in January sure look nice now.

Stanford has been ur best player all year round, i have said it before & ill say it again when games Morrisonn played in goal Saskatoon was an avg team at best. I have always thought Saskatoon was a very over-rated team & its showing in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Only thing to make this even sweeter is Saskatoon winning game 4 & then finishing out there season on home ice.

To the guy who said "talented team" not even close, Saskatoon always tried to bully themselves through their opponent uses there size & toughness. Not working out so good against a team that can match the physical play & who has more skill.

Saskatoon will always be JUST A REGULAR SEASON TEAM, junior hockey goes in cycles & so far the Blades have failed in back to back years trying to advance past the 2nd round, maybe u guys need to host the Memorial Cup just to get there.... hell my Pats needed it as they havent had a sniff since they did host it... the Pats are making calls to Blades to set up tee times with them on the weekend.

Brought the hate upon ourselves? That sounds a little dramatic, don't you think?

The Ice's gameplan is just too strong and the Blades don't know how to adjust their game to penetrate the zone with solid puck possesion. The Ice were very aggresive on the PK and in the neutral zone. It was almost like the Blades would panic because their passing was brutal. It's time to stop trying to make stupid cross ice sauce passes and chip it in off the blueline with a solid three man forecheck on the Ice's D.

To put it in short, the Ice are aggresive and the Blades are being way too passive. It may or may not matter now, you never really know. The Blades have gone on many 4 game winning streaks this season and if they can figure out how to get better scoring opportunities, they very well could come back. Unlikely but certainly not impossible.

Did you watch the game? Schenn and Stanford were the guys always giving it. Schenn was skating hard, backchecking, and throwing his body around. One guy can't win a game on his own, especially not the way the Ice have been playing. If you want to single people out, at least single out someone who hasn't done his job out there.

actually yes i did get the game on webcast tonite & Schenn sure didnt do alot out there RYE u say the same thing over & over again r u Schenn's stalker where he cant do no wrong?

Stanford is the only reason these games are even close he has been great all series long, too bad he isnt getting any support infront of him.

You can say what u want about my Pats they were expected to finish dead last at the start of the year so anything was better then what was expected out of them. But oh right its my fault Parker has had no clue on how to run a team the last 10 yrs right?? Like i said earlier junior hockey goes in cycles the Blades were the laughing stock of the league before & it will happen again as well (unless of course there is no more WHL hockey in Stoon due to the AHL rumours)

You're saying what I've been saying, you're right, Stanford has been great and he's been left hung out to dry on so many goals. He deserves a win but as of right now, the team doesn't.

We have no speed in the neutral zone and no one is skating to pass to either. Hope the team figures it out and pulls it together tonight.

It's classic! Look how all cylinders were firing regular season. The whole team had to step up and be a team. Players that earned top line honors etc....were demoted etc....Stand and watch syndrome. Look at the WK's Shenn didn't play there a lot this year but it loomed. When he was traded every player stepped up and look at thier season after the trade. Please don't take this as a Shenn knock, he's a great player and person. It's just basic psychology. Oh! and Playoffs are Playoffs!;)

Let's see, Zahn, Marek, Steven, Schenn, Elliott will gone next year, possibly Hamilton, the only thing I do hope for is that Mo comes back, maybe to save our goaltending for next year..... maybe..... all I can say is that the MVP for the playoffs is Steven Stanford, he was a brick wall in games 3 and 4, when he needed to be, but our scoring dried up like attendance at a Phoenix Coyotes game....., I'm seriously considering not renewing my tickets for next year... but we will see.

I never expected the Blades to be swept in this series but looking back over the course of the year it looks good on the Blades

So im guessing the Blades are going to drop Schenn off at the Calgary airport on there way back so he can jump on a plane to LA?? or is it Manchester? Either way his head was fully in this series & his teammates followed him.

Don't be too hard on your team, and don't ever quit on your team, they played hard to the end. Most teams in that situation wouldn't have made the effort in the last 3 minutes of game four trailing by three games and three goals. Sometimes teams come up with an A game against the best teams, this was one of those series, best of luck for next season.

I respect you for finally saying what really happened.

You're right, the Ice dominated. It was obvious in all four games that they wanted to win more. I am really impressed with their backcheck, it was like they had 3 dmen out there and they still managed to get plenty of 3 on 2 opportunities. It's really quite amazing how the Blades always manage to blow it in the 2nd round.

I heard on the radio here that Schenn will go to San Jose but they aren't sure if he'll play in game 1. Not sure if you're saying his head was in the LA or Blades series but if you saw him after the game, he was showing a lot of emotion. Everyone says junior is the best time of your career, I really feel for the guys that will not return next year as they move on next season.

I respect you for finally saying what really happened.

You're right, the Ice dominated. It was obvious in all four games that they wanted to win more. I am really impressed with their backcheck, it was like they had 3 dmen out there and they still managed to get plenty of 3 on 2 opportunities. It's really quite amazing how the Blades always manage to blow it in the 2nd round.

I heard on the radio here that Schenn will go to San Jose but they aren't sure if he'll play in game 1. Not sure if you're saying his head was in the LA or Blades series but if you saw him after the game, he was showing a lot of emotion. Everyone says junior is the best time of your career, I really feel for the guys that will not return next year as they move on next season.


It was fun razzing the guys who deserved it but once the Blades were finally out it was no longer that much fun... there are some really good blades fans on here but not mentioning any names there are a good 6 or 7 that really make all Blade fans look bad.

Like ive said before ive been on this site since 05 & i have never took any razzing this far before but that was only cuz of the select few who took it too far during the course of the regular season.

So outside of those 6 or 7 members great season all around for the Blades, i am sure no 1 around the league expected a sweep in this series by either team.
