... to overtaking, even if briefly, the B.C. Division lead. You do still have one game in-hand, during which you could still overtake Vancouver in the standings.

I find it entertaining that the B.C. Division title might come to which is better:
A team full of individual star players vs. A team full of team chemistry. I wouldn't take anything away from the Giants or their talent, but let's face it: The Blazers were not picked by anyone (except maybe a few of their fans) to even be contending for the division title at this stage of the season.

This is becoming a very fun & exciting second-half, indeed.

lets be realitic here, nobody in there sain mind would have predicted what the Blazers have done this year, it has been a good ride so far, the schedule gets tuff starting next weekend with the trip to the Hat, Leth and Cranbrook and then the T birds and Giants, so those games should decide if they can over take the Giants or not, and if they do thats great if they don't thats ok to. Its just fun to go and watch hockey again.
