Shoot-out win Blades!! The first 2 periods of the game were very much a Thunderbird take over. Zemlack stood on his head plus had horse shoes dangling. Eberle trows one up high over Zemlack, tucked in right behind the cross bar. Very nice goal. The blades finally pick it up in the 3rd and Patterson nets a cross crease pass from Menei. McCrae get checked from behind by McKenzie, line scuffle, MacAngus gets a roughing penalty along with Stamler, Cole sits in the penalty box, then is let out after Molleken talks with the ref. McKenzie gets Major and Game misconduct. Looked bad for the blades at end of 3rd and OT, we had a couple chances, but the Birds were winning the scrambels and keeping it in our end.
Shoot out, - Eberly misses net, Holloway misses net, Scott gets robbed by Zemlack on a deke.
- Menei tries a deke with no goal, Cloud tries a fancy backhand shot but misses the net, then Gillies has the winner with a deke to the blocker side.
Shots Birds 30, Blades 29
