2013 started with an early game vs medicine hat at home on the first. i wish we would have played this way when we faced them in the first round last season...the boys came out firing kambeitz netted an early one, giebel got his first ever (he is 19....), then mccolgan got one on his birthday. cam lanigan got put in net and i swear it feels like he has been in the league for ten years. then josh nicholls' highlight reel goal was scored... he tries that move about 600 times a season and it never works...except for this game. mccolgan, stovin and kambeitz (again) scored and that was pretty much it for medicine hat. patrick johnson stood on his head during the game even though he is the clumsiest goalie ever...he has no idea how to handle the puck i swear. i was surprised he came that close to a shutout. on the 4th we played prince albert, and to no ones surprise, they scored 14 seconds in. we soon took that game over and won 6-3. red deer and edmonton came to town the next weekend and of course, the bartosak and brossoit stole the show. we lost 3-1 and 2-1...the next week we lost in a (lengthy) shootout vs kootenay, won a few days later vs moose jaw, and lost in another lenghty (12 round) shootout against brandon. the boys headed to brandon a few days later and posted a 4-1 win, then lost (duh) the next night in saskatoon against edmonton. we ended the month with a couple wins against moose jaw (5-0) and brandon (5-1).
also this month the blades held a club seat holder brunch at the casino... i decided to country it up and wear realtree leggings and a mossy oak jacket. low and behold when it was over, i just happened to glance over at astles walking towards walker (the two country boys), see him say something, have walker laugh and the group of (about) 5 that were around them turn around to look at me. frig i wanna know what was said.... (#firstworldprobs?)
i honestly do not understand this team... they are the most inconsistent team to play the game. lately we seem to either start the game off with an early goal and then fall apart in the third, or give up a couple goals early in the first, almost comeback, then give up with 5 minutes left. i hope we are not the toronto maple leafs of the whl, as in we suck mostly throughout the year then start winning with 10 regular season games left. if we were not hosting the memorial cup this year i would have took off to you-know-where a long time ago.
the blue jays!!
