I was really not expecting this series to be where it is right now. Blades are in a tad of trouble, but never say never.
There was no scoring in the first period of the game. Red Deer held the edge in shots 8-7 through the first 20. Trevor Wong got his 4th of the playoffs to open up the scoring for the Blades at 5:04 of the second period with assists to Brandon Lisowsky and Tanner Molendyk.
Frantisek Formanek makes it a 1-1 game at 9:46 of the first period with the assist on the goal to Christoffer Sedoff. Thats the Czech’s third goal of the post season.
Dwayne Jean Jr makes it a 2-1 game at 16:25 of the second period with assists to Carson Birnie and Hunter Mayo.
Saskatoon had several chances but couldn’t capitalize and they pulled rookie netminder Austin Elliott with just under three-minutes left to put six attackers on the ice for a last ditch effort on a goal and it worked!!! But for the Rebels👍. Kalan Lind scores into the empty net to insure the win at 3-1 and that was unassisted at 19:14. Lind has four points in eight games this playoffs.
Other Notes
Rebels next game is Wednesday April 19th at 7pm. This could be the end for the Blades. Probably still a lot funnier to watch Regina get booted as I sort of like Saskatoon.

With their impressive 8-4 victory over the favored Winnipeg Ice on Wednesday, Moose Jaw appears to have the potential to cause an upset in the upcoming conference semifinal. The Warriors currently hold a 2-1 series lead. That proxy team Seattle is probably up in their series too🙄
