Like a pitcher coming up against the heart of a home run-hitting baseball team, the Saskatoon Blades face a similar task over the next five nights!

The 22-18-3 Bridge City Bunch play four times in that time…Friday night against a 29-13-2 Medicine Hat team that has won all three previous meetings; Saturday against a 31-7-9 Edmonton squad that is tied for the overall W-H-L lead; a Sunday visit to 13-25-5 Regina to complete three games-in-three nights and a return home for a Tuesday tilt against a 25-15-3 Victoria group that made the biggest noise at the Trade Deadline two weeks ago!

Saskatoon was wallopped 11-3 by the Tigers in their last meeting on December 10th…at SaskTel Centre. Game time Friday for the Blades and Tigers is 7 o’clock with the broadcast at 6 on 98-COOL beginning with the Sardinia Family Restaurant pre-game show.
