Coach's Thoughts:
Our penalty kill was weak tonight and our goalie might've been even weaker. Hard to comeback when he's letting in softies.

Kamloops traded D Sam Grist (20, 6.5/7.0) and LW Vincent Bernier (20, 4.0/4.0) to the Kootenay Ice for C Luke Philp (18, 5.5/6.5) and C Troy Petrick (20, 4.0/4.0)

Also, Portland Winterhawks and Winnipeg Jets prospect Nic Petan (7.0/9.5) will miss the next month with a sprained wrist. Joining him on the injury list is Kamloops Blazers and Montreal Canadiens prospect Tim Bozon (7.0/9.5) also out with a sprained wrist, though he's expected to only miss 3 weeks.

Coach's Thoughts:
Well, talk about a game that had everything. We score right off the bat, they score on their first two shots to take the lead, score again soon after, we switch out Polly, get one late in the 1st to get it back within one. They come right out in the 2nd and regain the 2-goal lead. Get it back within one in the 3rd, they come right back and score again. Magee takes a penalty out of frustration right after, clock keeps ticking and then he goes off with 2 goals to tie it with just over 5 minutes left in the game before Gagnon wins it for us in regulation with just under a minute left. Did not see that one coming.

And this is done. Got to the trade deadline and the Edmonton Oil Kings traded the rights of Curtis Lazar to about 4 different teams for elite players, while Lazar actually remains on the Oil Kings. I'll start a new one when the new patch comes out... maybe.
