SASKATOON BLADES, OCTOBER 2011

so after eleven games in october, and a horrible US road trip, the boys ended up with 5 wins.. :( and tonight (the 29th) we are in PA. first game in october was in brandon, no comment. prince george was here on the fifth, we (yes, we) ended up with a 4-1 win. hate playing them, just a team i have no interest in. the following saturday, we played edmonton. 5-1 win, loved the game. probably wouldnt have even been mad if we lost. jake wasnt playing, so that probably was the worst part of the night. searched for him in the concourse... not really but kinda, ya know? tuesday was the last home game before the big roadie, moose jaw was here, again, not really a team i care for. we took a 4-3 overtime win. after that came the disaster. one win in everett on the friday, a couple close games (josh was amaaaaazing) and then that was that. it felt like a million years since i had been to a game, but finally on wednesday, we played regina. one of my favourite teams to play. their coach is just so sexy, holy hell. art bidlevskii wasnt playing so that was a bit dissapointing. also, sorry for my tweets that night. really. and we're undefeated at home! so anyways, raiders/blades tonight then into MOVEMBER!! so pumped. love a good muzzy. and flow. and everything else.

all the pictures i took from these games (not too many) are all super shitty, so sorry about that. most are from my phone. i hate taking pictures at games, makes me feel super awkward. anyways, see ya next month.

2013 MEMORIAL CUP REACTION

first off, i'm biased, so this might be pointless.
this isnt really a reaction, its a rant.
well well well, looks like i will be going (...as a fan, of course) to my first ever memorial cup tournament in about a year and a half. obviously, i'm excited, as my tweets expressed. i pretty much thought kelowna was out of it, for multiple reasons, one being they recently hosted. but whats with all this "the blades have to host it to be able to win it" bullshit? last (post) season was rediculous. brayden schenn isnt god and personally i think he fucked us over in the long run. are all these haters/jealous people/fans of other teams just commenting on how they'd rather earn their way there than get an automatic spot? obviously that is true, but what if we lost the bid and weren't hosting? i'm sure they'd be equally excited as i was/am. i've seen tweets and other blog posts about how since the blades hosted and lost in overtime to the broncos in '89, that the exact same thing is going to happen again... over 20 fucking years later. the one thing that makes me mad the most is just the fact that other people are saying that we cant make it without an automatic spot. when it comes to our roster and who will be playing, that is obiously hard to comment on when its over an entire season away, but with our recent trades, the work starts now.
so fuck all you haters. have fun watching on tv. to the people who can actually deal with my tweets and what i say. jesus christ how do you do it?! :)
