ANOTHER OT/SO, but this time we come out on top! GG Bratislava. Lord Faker bailing us out in the shootout, haha.

BRAMPTON, ON - As Brampton's mid-season slump (of sorts) continues, the Blades' coaching staff is still trying to figure out exactly what their team is meant to do. With the Blades sitting in second in the North American Conference, fifteen points ahead of Ottawa, some may consider the season thus far a success. However, it's clear that the Blades leave something to be desired in comparison to the Wild, as well as Europe's top three teams, both in terms of overall team play as well as a defining identity. The Royals, for example, have relied on the abilities of star Zach Parechkin to produce the majority of their offense, whereas the Wild exploit the unusual offensive ability of defenseman MC Hammer; Saskatoon also has an excellent mix of forwards with defensive and offensive proficiencies. The Red Wolves use first-line talent like Arcturus Mengsk and Jace Hines in tandem with a tremendously deep roster to wear opponents out, and the Storm focus their team around their excellent defensive talent in their top two lines paired with Giovanni Reuel and Wesley Babiy to produce most of their team's offensive output. The question is, then, what does Brampton do well? They have two solid defensemen in Hackett and Voss, but they have no standout offensive player like Parechkin, and their defenders aren't specialized in the same way Hammer is. Goalie Chris Fekete has been pushed to so many overtime games and shootouts in his couple dozen games that the rookie has probably had a tough time adjusting to the grueling nature of VHL games. These are the questions experts will hound Brampton with until they come up with something definitive.

Zach Voss coming up HUUUGE for us in this game - two goals, 6 hits, 3 shots blocked. Solid performance by Fekete in this game too. =]

GG Saskatoon - we've got to work on our scoring! Too many heartbreaking OT/SO losses this season.

Ouch - rough loss.

Aside from your own player, who is the best VHLM prospect? Who shows the most promise? Independent of whether you want to play for them or not, who are the best GMs in the VHL? The VHLM? In the current generation of players (VHL and VHLM), who has had/will have the best career? Feel free to make some crazy predictions here.

BRAMPTON, ON - After a grueling four-game series that ended with either a shootout or extra period, the Brampton Blades' roster has started to show the wear and tear of an overworked team. These four games - a shootout loss to Oslo, an overtime victory over Bratislava, a shootout victory over Yukon, and an overtime loss to Ottawa - are the definition of a trying series of games, and the Blades are fortunate to have gone 2-2 in these few days. "That feeling of adrenaline drops a bit after so many long games," Brampton defenseman Saul Hackett noted, "I can't imagine how it must be for Chris [Fekete, goalie for the Blades]." Indeed, while Hackett has a small amount of experience from last season to help him brave the trials of these lengthy mid-season games, greenhorn Chris Fekete is brand-new to the league. The Blades have struggled mightily in the past couple of weeks, with low goal production and a poor shot differential for their first several games of the season. The series of overtime games even came after an emotional 5-3 win over European powerhouse Bern, who now showcase the efforts of a deep and extremely talented set of forwards. In time, the Blades will recover from this set of games - but until their next few rest days, their regular season performance is at risk.

5-1 Reign
