Trying something new.

I whipped up a wallpaper. I have a couple of more on the way. I haven’t touched Photoshop in a few years. So it was a relearning process. It may not be perfect. I have a few more Falk versions on the way. But let me know what you think of this one.

I am working on cleaning up colors and messing with layer and filters. But it’s a start.

Friday:

5-2 Chiefs. We pwned Seattle. Trevor Glass snagged his first goal as a Chief in the first period. There were some complaints that the McCrae hype was over. But he delivered a goal to silence the haters. Judd Blackwater had a goal as well. I realize I only accounted for 3 of 5 said goals. Tokarski held it down in the pipes.

IM IN UR PIPEZ BLOCKING UR SHOTZ.

Saturday:

Chiefs took on the Prince Albert Raiders which was a predicted win since the last game the Raiders played, they gave up 8 goals. It was so promo night. And because Mitch Wahl had a goal, I won a thing of seasoning salt from Red Robin. Go Chiefs Go? Levko Koper, Judd Blackwater and Tyler Johnson posted goals. But according to the stats, it appears that Wahl’s goal was going to Seth Compton.

Oh hey, we were just thinking of playing some hockey. you know?

Head’s Up

Hey Sports, nay- Hockey fans;

I don’t know if I will be able to update tonight after the Chiefs/Seattle game tonight. My predictions are a goal from Tyler Johnson, an assist from Ondrej Roman and Tokarski in the pipes holding it down.

I hope to have video and pictures up soonish.

Love,

Heather

Ok so;

Bruton will be out for one game. The WHL is totally nonsensical so it is unclear whether or not he could miss more than one game. I was really hoping to get some FREE CHRIS BRUTON signs hung up around town.

Bruton Out for a bit;

According to the Chiefs site Chris Bruton is suspended an undetermined number of games. I think it’s frustrating of the WHL to do this. They seemed to have dragged their heels until media uproar then decided to take action. It was a clean hit. And after reports of the usual Kyle Beach antics and him verbally antagonized Bruton, a hit to the face was expected.

At this rate, Beach ought to get some sort of an award for his performance.

Here is the fight:

Allegedly.

So far it looks as thought Bruton is in the clear and will not be suspended. Apparently, according to the newspaper, Kyle Beach was poppin’ his mouf off (I am paraphrasing) and El Capitain socked him.

Still though, Chiefs don’t need a Todd Bertruzzi.

Though the WHL is up in arms thinking some type of discipline needs to take place. I am gonna try and find the hit on YouTube.

I Wish I Could Hate You To Death.

Hey, Chris Bruton. Can we have a heart to heart here? I am a bit worried about you. Are you ok? Did your girlfriend break up with you? Because you are slipping sir. You just came off suspension. And now you are definitely going to be suspended again. I imagine at least 5 games. Granted, Kyle Beach is a certifiable tool. And of all the ‘Tips to take a punch, I am glad it was him. But seriously dude you are slipping in your captainly duties. At this rate, your C is gonna move to other players. It might have to go to McCrae, the new guy everyone loves. I am here if you want to talk.

Love,

Heather

Ok, so the Chiefs lost to the Everett Silvertips 2-1. Drayson Bowman scored pretty early in the first. Then the ‘Tips popped in a goal that was honestly a lucky shot and no fault of Saint Tokarski. The ‘Tips scored again in the second and it was sloppy from there on. Upon the the final buzzer, from what I am told, Mitch Wahl kinda pawed at Kyle Beach for covering the puck. And Bruton, deciding that Wahl wasn’t pawing hard enough and popped one Beach and he went down like Wile E. Coyote. And didn’t get up for a bit. He left the ice in a neckbrace after lying there about 15 minutes. The manager didn’t seem to care one of his best players was down. Also, Jared Cowen did some damage to Everett player Whateverhisfirstname Alexander. In the third, Alexander lost his stick and decided to body block shots from Cowen. Taking roughly five shots to the torso in a minute. He limped off the ice. Chiefs are on the road. I just may post updates on that. Don’t expect anything too magical.

Spokane takes the ice at home next Friday and Saturday.

Same as it ever was.

The puck didn’t drop until 7:45 on Saturday. Which made for a long night. The arena was full/cramped because it was Buck Night. Children ran amok in Heelies and dudes drank more beer because, well, what else were we gonna do?

I think my new rule is always give the puck to Tyler Johnson. That kid can breakaway like mad. It’s some serious Sonic the Hedgehog action. He popped in a gorgeous goal unassisted in the first. And I was excited. I happily ate my dollar hot dog and pounded down curly fries ready for a good night of hockey. And then Seth Compton pops a goal in first as well. I am now slamming down my Coke screaming at Tri Cities and directing my hatred at Colton Yellow Horn, who’s last name sounds like a type of STD. Colton Yellow Horn decided to throw my insults in my face and score a goal. I am not please.

We head to the second and the Americans decide to ruin my day and score another goal tying it all up. I spend the rest of the second and third praying to whoever the hockey god is to not let this go to a shoot out.

Goddamit, we are going to a shoot out. And we lost.

Jace Coyle is on my black list for making a dumb move and essentially giving an assist to Tri Cities. I hope he went home and cried that night.

The game was evenly matched. So I should have seen this coming. Tokarski continues to hold it down and I have no complaints.

Buck Night is a curse. I think it’s a guaranteed loss. I wanna see some facts and figures. Someone have that on my desk by lunch on Monday.

Next game is Wednesday. I honestly can’t remember who we are playing.

Nice one, Newbie.

Justin McCrae is going to be awesome with the Chiefs. He took to the ice tonight and was on a mission. It felt like he had been playing with Spokane for a while, and not a debut. To show just how much he wanted us to like him, he decided to score two goals. And have an assist too, I think. I might have to double check that. The first period Dustin Tokarski (his fourth start in a row) didn’t give the Kamloops Blazers any chances of scoring. The second period was mostly held down with a goal or two sliding by. But in the end, Spokane emerged triumphant with two goals from Ondrej Roman, one from David Rutherford and one from Jared Spurgeon.

I’d take my camera into the arena to catch some sweet action, but the security gestappo has been on a fuhr bend lately with the bag searching.

Next game is Saturday against Tri Cities. And it will be freaking Buck Night. I am curious if Tokarski will once more be between the pipes or if it’s will be Army’s chance to hold off the Americans.

Updates.

Chiefs lose Chris Langkow for 19 year old forward Justin McCrae from the Saskatoon Blades. Can’t say I am terribly upset about that. What I am happy is Dustin Tokarski still Saves. The game against Moose Jaw was a good bout of hockey that ended in a shoot out and proved Sir Tokarski’s superiority between the pipes with a final score of 5-4. And Dustin even had an assist that game. Spokane pulled it out despite some terrible calls by the refs. One such called inspired a neighboring season ticketer to scream “You should call Spokane Pump because they fix things that SUCK.” It’s was probably funnier if you were there.

Tokarski alsoheld off Tri Cities earning him another shut out for the season, his fifth. I’d post more details about that game. but well, I wasn’t there.




Thanks for the legacy, Leitch
