Blades Can’t Fully Recover From Spotting a Four-Goal Lead to the Blazers

The Saskatoon Blades are coming home with three of a possible 10 points from their B-C road trip and an overall record of 11-5-2 after falling 4-3 in Kamloops Saturday night.

A furious second period comeback stalled out in the third period as the Blazers raced out to a 4-0 lead before the five-minute mark of the second period. But, by the time the middle frame was done, the score was 4-3, thanks to two goals from Ben Riche and a single from Brandon Lisowsky. However, that was as close as the Blue and Gold came as they were outshot 37-33 on the night. The Bridge City Bunch finished the swing with one win and a shootout loss against three regulation setbacks – all games decided by one goal. The Blue and Gold comes home to start three straight games at SaskTel Centre on Friday against Edmonton. Following are the audio highlights from CJWW’s broadcast, Les Lazaruk’s Post-Game Show interview with head coach Dan Da Silva plus the official game summary…..
