7 in 11

After seven games in the last eleven days the a very tired Blazer team came up with a big 4-2 win over the Chiefs to end a three game loosing streak.
More positives than negatives over the stretch with the team always working hard, the only real negative was a return to bad penelties, which clearly was the reason they lost three games in the stretch. Also this was the first time this season the team has played with a key player (Bartley) injured and with the suspension to Dunstall leaving them with only twenty players, sounds like Bartley should be back much sooner than expected, hopefully this week, and Dunstall will be sentenced on monday by the league. nhl
