Tbirds pick up their first win of the season and they do it over a really high quality opponent tonight in Spokane.
I'm not going to B.S. you guys, my loyal readers... My wife and I had to attend a charity event over at the EMP tonight and we were only able to take in the first 10 minutes of the game because they didn't drop the puck until nearly 7:30. The charity is a very important cause to our friends and family and I encourage people to visit the website at www.hearseehope.com. Hear See Hope raises money for research into a cure for Usher Syndrome. I won't spend any more time writing about it but we are very proud to support this cause.
Back to hockey... Jeremy Boyer is the only one to score in the shootout and the Tbirds get a huge 3-2 win over Spokane.
Boyer also scored in the first period to give the Tbirds a 1-0 lead that was erased by Mr. Drayson Bowman who scored twice to give the Chefs (no spelling error there) the 2-1 lead. Lindsay Nielsen then tied the game at 2-2 in the 3rd period on a feed from Boyer and the game eventually landed in the shootout.
Jacob DeSerres had 30 saves and more importantly stopped all 4 of Spokane's attempts in the shootout.
The Tbirds are now 1-5 but have a tough 3 in 3 road weekend coming up starting in Everett Friday, down to Portland Saturday and back up to Chilliwack Sunday. Crazy... but those are 3 winnable games.

Was a fun game to watch and I'm happy the T-birds got their first win.
I think getting Hickey back will help the defense a lot, but I also think they could use a Scott Jackson type on the blue line, the thing that struck me Saturday was that the T-birds didn't seem very physical, Chiefs had a few times where it looked like they were on the PP when they weren't
Deserres did a great job keeping the T-Birds in the game definately deserved the #1 star.
I think this schedule will make having a decent record through December very difficult, I just hope they don't get in too big a hole they can't dig out of it.
