The WHL website, the Spokane website, the Seattle Times and even the Seattle website until a day ago was saying 7PM start time and then out of nowhere at the game I saw a message on the big screen that said 5PM. I figured it was a typo until I was browsing the Seattle website today and noticed someone had changed what was on there last week.<BR/><BR/>It actually matters A LOT because most of us that are going to the game tomorrow are planning our travels including dropping off our clothes and showering at home according to a 7PM start. <BR/><BR/>Does anyone know someone from the office that can confirm with certainty who is right?<BR/><BR/>I am going to post this on the other forum as well to get more eyes on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-42949839118105587722009-03-27T16:27:00.000-07:002009-03-27T16:27:00.000-07:00Do I detect Bitter Brian from Sherwood?Do I detect Bitter Brian from Sherwood?Trevor's Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083861868823202544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-54417152768949649252009-03-27T11:00:00.000-07:002009-03-27T11:00:00.000-07:00Are you glad you don't play game 5 tonight?

The chiefs were playing more of a man on man coverage. The second and third period Spokane moved to more of a zone style of defence in their zone. When we would shoot the puck in the Chiefs had the front of the net boxed in so they could grab the rebound and pass to the outside of the box to someone who would bring it back into our zone. In effect it was making us into a perimeter type of a team and it's next to impossible to score off Tik from the outside.<BR/><BR/>In our zone the Chiefs kept on setting up to backdoor us and this was especially obvious on the power plays and the goals that were let in. They would force all the action to one side and sneak someone behind to get the puck in the open net.<BR/><BR/>The last thing I noticed last night was the birds seemed to go in a panic type mode and the boys started to try to put the game on their shoulders and forgot about the team. Though they tried to be a bit too fancy in the first and passed a few too many times, in the third specifically they completely forgot how to pass the puck all together. I also think that shortening the lines in the playoffs has hurt us as well especially in the defensive zone. You can see them getting too tired half way through the game. You need fresh legs at the end of the game not only to score points but to get the puck out of the zone but when the D is exhausted it's much harder to do this.Kodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12530094650260889519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-12678891229349014642009-03-26T15:19:00.000-07:002009-03-26T15:19:00.000-07:00I can't remember Jim's second penalty last night b...I can't remember Jim's second penalty last night but his first was pretty stupid on the end of the first period. He clearly went into the Spokane player with his hands up high in his face.<BR/><BR/>We are defintely not getting production from players we should be. After 4 games our 2 - 4 leading scorers are: Jacobs, Schappert, and Wells with 2 points each.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone know the story behind Cloud wearing a A and Rai not wearing the A? I thought Cloud had a strong game and his line had about the only good scoring chance in the 3rd period. I don't know if Summer was matching lines agressively but I think he should have played the Cloud line more.<BR/><BR/>Their inability to break out of their zone was painfull to watch last night. At times they looked like a GSHL team.<BR/><BR/>My prediction is a strong game saturday with a win followed by a poor showing Sunday at home and a loss.Trevor's Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083861868823202544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-952968690569376812009-03-26T15:05:00.000-07:002009-03-26T15:05:00.000-07:00I thought we played well for the most part last ni...I thought we played well for the most part last night. We at least played well is spurts.<BR/><BR/>Is it possible that we finally start winning, and playing well on the road, but can't buy a home win? This is one of the weirdest Seattle teams I have seen in the 8 years of being a season ticket holder. Lets just hope we do get one more home game this year. We need it. <BR/><BR/>Lets Go Birds!!!stbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982707420930061078noreply@blogger.com
