Just got back from one of the best games seen live personally.

Winterhawks were dominant in going up 5-2 with 14 minutes left, but the Blazers rally to tie the game, then go up 6-5, give up the tying goal seconds later, then win it with 20 seconds left.

Crowd was almost as loud as a NHL rink...believe it or not. First time in my life seen a team salute the fans, leave the ice, and nobody left the building! The Blazers had to bring the entire team back out for an "encore" 5 minutes later.

Managed to grab some YouTube footage from the last few seconds, will post up later.

Only one team in WHL history has come back from 0-3 down to win...Kamloops is 60 minutes away from becoming number two.

Oh and getting to the part CP cares about...Sven Baertschi. Had a beautiful setup on a goal but was very quiet other times. Fell awkwardly at the end of the 2nd and came back to the bench very slowly, and appeared frustrated/upset smashing his stick. Most dangerous Winterhawk was actually Brad Ross, Pouliot, and a youngster named Taylor Leier who could be a star in the NHL one day.
