Guest Columnist, Matt Peles:

The smell of burnt rubber and ass, normally associated with the friendly
confines of Richard's purple room, was wafting from the locker room as the
Blades celebrated their second shutout in a row.

The Blades were a little nervous 20 minutes before game time with only 10
players and no goalie in the locker room.  With Donnie, Stach, Russ, Eel,
and Bruiser out the Blades had to step up their game against a Force team
that always plays the Blades hard.

And boy did the Blades step up.  With a tic-tac here and a tic-tac there, C
Hockey made it 2-0 with a goal and an assist.  C Hockey must have given a
clinic before the game, because the Blades were passing in the offensive
zone like never before.  The Blades kept the play moving in the offensive
zone which created great scoring opportunities and rebounds that led to
several goals.

The defense had an inspired game in front of the back-up goaltender.    Cat
looked like a free safety as he charged the oncoming puckcarrier, Pounder
clearing the crease (Why does it always seems like the small guys are
trying to move him?), Charlie looked like Niedermeyer carrying the puck,
and what needs to be said about Secret Weapon.  The defense prowess must have rubbed off on the forwards.  They always seemed to be back to help out and cover the rushing defensemen.  By far, King of the World was most affected with some great back checking and a nice game of catch with Mark  at the blue line to avoid pressure and kill time.  It looked like Teddy was trying to gain ground on the league penalty minutes leaders when he came  down low to clear the crease.  The only one not affected was Hatchet, who seemed to be playing for the Force and keeping the puck in the zone.  The black jerseys must have confused the mad Hungarian.

Overall this had to be one of the best played Blades games all year.  Had
you never saw a Blades game before this you would think we know how to play this game.  The momentum and good play is building for the Bombers and everybody's favorite HNA player and best one-on-one defensemen ever.

Can the Blades keep the shutout streak alive?  Is there a goaltending
controversy?  When will the Blades winter slide begin?  Is Doug Leftwich
really Bruiser?  Tune in for the Blades next game against the Timberwolves
and goal suck to find out.
See you  Tuesday (no Pizza Night; watch out for the streaking Fireblades!

Scoring:
Goals:
Fireblades: 5
Opponents 0

Shots:
Fireblades:   24
Opponents:   22

Dickey's Rendition:
1) The ref was going to give me credit for a goal. I didn't touch the puck and told the ref that Kent really got the goal (I think the team had a collective heart attack when I did that). So your Christmas list of what we all got is partially true.

2) Also mention that Charlie had unusual spunk and voracity

3) And lastly, do a little bit on how Hatchet sucks and refuses to get the puck out of the zone :)

C. Hockey's Stars of the Game:
1.  Bill King.  For being everywhere he needed to be.
2.  C Hockey.  His play making sparked the Blades to an impressive game in
the offensive zone, even though he was playing defense.
3.  Dickie.  Not because he did anything, but because he actually gave up getting credit for a goal.
Honorable Mention:  Donnie, such a Blade that he figured out when we would be off the ice and took time out from being a drunk to call and see how the Blades did.
