I am no journalist or anything as you can tell by my chaos pocket I run here. However, I really think author screwed the pooch on this article;
Scroll down to number 14. I am fairly certain they meant to write about Drayson Bowman, and were flustered or something. Maybe they could not properly convey his awesomeness into words. I don’t know. But I know of someone besides me who can pen something about Bowman supreme fantastic nature.
Also, I am a little hurt that no Chiefs are named in the article. But I hold out on grabbing my torch and pitchfork until next week’s installment. Then you can imagine if Ondrej Roman is missing, I will start a riot.
Read number 9. That one made me laugh. For like 4 minutes.
Metsola got light up like a Christmas tree. I think we may have broken him actually. The first 3ish minutes goals were slide in by Mitch Wahl and Judd Blackwater. Then a ‘Cane hit one in. Whatever, they can have one. Though they tried to claim one before that, kicking the puck past Dustin Tokarski, which after review was waved off. David Rutherford scored in the second. Which was a quick and quiet period. Third period; Drayson Bowman scores and Ondrej Roman score.
Overall the game was neat and clean with very few penalties. I think the Chiefs perhaps were checking like they meant it. Something I politely request a bit ago. I thought the Hurricane fans in attendance was impressive given the epic length of the trip to Spokane. Roughly 8.5 hours.
For serious, how are you going to call your team the Hurricanes? Ain’t no way that Lethbridge is tropical. Or coastal for that matter.
Final damage; 5-2 Chiefs. The best of 7 series is at 2-0 Chiefs.
Why you should love Dustin Tokarski (stats taken from tonight’s program);
Chiefs goaltender Dustin Tokarski was named the Western Conference Championship MVP with four wins, two shutouts, a 1.21 GAA and .953 save percentage. In his last nine games, Dustin Tokarski has three shutouts and a 1.07 goals against average and a .956 save percentage. During the span, Tokarski had a stretch of 186:15 without allowing a goal breaking the previous record of 180:54 set in 1995-96 by David Lemanowicz in the regular season. Tokarski’s mark is fifth all-time in WHL playoff history.
Other bits;
Dear Habs,
Thanks for breaking my fucking heart. I gave you my heart and you gave me a pen! And by “pen” I mean an unreliable Carey Price in the third period!
Love,
Heather
So, for hot, sweaty Stanley Cup action I pick four teams to support; Caps, Flames, Habs and Rangers. Not exactly in that order. But there is some logic behind it. I am not one for the Avs. Forsberg pisses me off. Hating the Red Wings is like, a given. I refuse to accept Hockey Jesus as my Savior. Danny Briere is like, too emo to even function. Oh and Dallas and San Jose; it never fucking snows in your locales. Ever. The Caps gave up a fight. Ovie was actually playing in a ton of pain. On painkillers in fact, but he didn’t want to talk about it. The Flames were stonewalled. The Habs put their money on Price, who at the end of the day still is a rook and prone to mistakes. And the Rangers are about toast. Avery had an unfortunate injury but played with internal bleeding. What have you done lately? So now, who do I support? No one, probably. I am bitter and hate everyone.
Ahhhh. So nice to be home in my arena. With lots of legroom. And not having to wait ten minutes to take a piss.
Fun stuff. The arena was on fire tonight. Not figuratively like “oh the Chiefs are smoking the Ams!” It was on fire, as in the giant scoreboard shorted and caused a fire of unknown size. And roughly eight firefighters were crawling around the rafters. The game was not stopped. I talked to a section leader and I guess they were ready to evacuate the arena. But alas, no. The game barreled on.
Which is good. No momentum was ruined. Ondrej Roman scored in the first period from David Rutherford and Judd Blackwater. This line is amazing, and has been stellar. The playoffs really has been Roman’s Empire. Then in the third period Rutherford scored from Seth Compton and it was glorious.
Dustin Tokarski was his usual golden self. I was actually sorta paying attention to his ticks tonight. That kid must take forever to wash his hands. I don’t care, he gets the job done.
Ok so the Chiefs game is on Comcast but I can’t watch it because I don’t get Comcast. And the boyfriend is with a wicked cold and I am not going over to his house to watch it. So I pull up the scores on the WHL site. I think I am being punk’d. The game is tied at 0-0 in the third? For serious?
Thank you, Tokarski. But serious, Roman-Rutherford? Make something happen.
Alright, after TWO overtime periods the Chiefs win. Nice!
Just who was it? ROMAN! From Judd Blackwater.
So whenever I say Ondrej Roman’s name. I say it like Santino from Project Runway imitating Tim Gunn. Which is like this;
So just went down last night? Obviously I was hopped up on sugar which does not lend itself to crafting such quality posts you expect to see here (ha!).
So in the first period we have Jared Cowen scoring from Justin McCrae and Judd Blackwater. Dustin Tokarski stopped all shots in the first. But then again, there wasn’t much to stop in the first.
The second period is where is started to get a bit messy. Not by the fault of the Chiefs. The reffing went from a very fair and even first to a terribly biased in favor of the Giants in the second. I think the men in stripes were after David Rutherford or something. Seriously, I didn’t think the refs were going to leave in one piece. People were ready to climb the glass. Then Giants score on a power play. Freaking Bliznak…
But, the Chiefs will not go down like that. Ondrej Roman from Drayson Bowman and Stefan Ulmer. Oh was it a pretty pretty goal. Which makes sense because Roman is a pretty pretty player.
The Giants then did as expected. They pulled their goalie. YES. El Capitan, Chris Bruton smacked in the empty netter from McCrae and Blackwater.
I waved like Miss America and wished the Giants the best.
I think I snapped some pictures last night.
It’s looking like the crew will be traveling to Tri. There will need to be a lot of us. Safety in numbers and such. I will bring my billy club.
Alright, so the Chiefs shut down the Giants. Down and out, even. 4-0. Game Six will be on Monday in Spokane and Seven on Tuesday if needed. Right now the series stands at 3-2 Spokane. This just might be doable. Clearly, David Rutherford has been the star of this post season action.
The lines were shuffled up last night and for the better. Roman had two assists in the first period. Helping out Justin Falk and Rutherford. Rutherford and Falk helped Drayson Bowman in the third. Tyler Johnson closed the game with an empty netter.
Tokarski saves! Stopping 22 of the Giants shots.
Keep it up, boys. I might allow those wretched play off beards.
I did not listen to the Chiefs game last night because I was too deep into the Avs/Canucks massacre. Luongo was having a terrible night and really just needs a break. Sanford is a mediocre back up goalie and the ‘Couv cannot expect Luo to carry the team all the time.
Back to the Chiefs;
Scoring in the first period was Levko Koper. Ondrej Roman scores in the second from David Rutheford and Judd Blackwater. Silvertip Gendur also scored in the second. Drayson Bowman smacks one in the third from Chris Bruton and Mitch Wahl. Then Judd Blackwater slides in an empty-netter from Jared Cowen and Jared Spurgeon. Final score 4-1 Chiefs. Dustin Tokarski stopped 28 of 29 shots.
Friday is a must win situation Everett. Which has me wondering if they will be out for blood. Or if this will not be the case given the Remparts incident.
I guess Kyle Beach is sporting a full mask because he has an eye socket injury and if someone punches him, he could go blind. Fine, he is still a prick. Sending Harty to do his work for him.
Everett decided to not play entirely dirty tonight and played a bit o’ hockey. It was cute, really.
Ondrej Roman scores in the first. Seth Compton scored in the second. Roman again in the third. And Mitch Wahl shot an empty netter with a vengeance in the last 2 minutes. Tokarski had a relatively easy night with only one ‘Tips goal slipping past. download this: Word Up covered by Korn. Surprisingly amazing.
For reasons I am not entirely sure of, Seth Compton was interviewed after the game wearing a yellow hard hat. How Bob the Builder.
Hey uhm, Portland? Sorry if that was kinda awkward. Listen, I think we should try and be friends? This whole fooling around thing and being fuck buddies was kinda awesome. We need some time apart. We had a good time tonight, right? I mean I scored on you with Bowman from Bruton and Roman. Then Koper from Johnson and Falk. And it was awesome. And then in the second, Rutherford, Bowman and McCrae all got between your pipes. Roman snuck in the third. Portland, it was a lot of fun. You’re a great chick. But I just need some me time now. Thanks for being so understanding. And doing my chemistry lab. Talk to you soon!
Holy shit. Chiefs beat the Ams, on a buck night. In a shut out to be precise. Tokarski was unmovable object, he let nothing get by him.
Roman scored the lone goal in the first. Rutherford scored in the second. Rutherford also punched Colton Yellow Horn. And Rutherford ditched the blond hair. About time. Compton and Bowman smacked goals in the third.
Some Spokane fans sat behind the Ams bench armed with stadium horns and cow bells. The Ams coach was freaking out demanding security to boot them. But security laughed him off and told the fans not to touch the glass.
It was quite the game of penalties. The first one makes me smile. When I told one fan that Yellow Horn thought he looked like Brad Pitt, he laughed and said “Yellow Horn looks like he ate Brad Pitt.”

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.

On the docket;
Toronto: Spring Break. The TO could use a dame of my caliber.
hockey boyfriend power rankings.
1. Dustin Tokarski, you will probably always occupy the number one slot. Nice job ninjaing the starting goalie slot for the Admirals.. 2 Kyle Beach, we are just like John Bender and Clare Standish in the Breakfast Club and I sorta love you. 3. Milan Lucic, babe I think I am suffering from Lucic Lust... 4. Sean Avery, you scored two goals on the Leafs and all I could do was giggle.
