Inconsistent Blazers facing elimination in Kelowna
KAMLOOPS — The Blazers are facing death by Rockets for the second straight year with the puck dropping on Game 5 of their first-round series Friday night in Kelowna.
It’s been a series of inconsistency for Kamloops, which had a no-show in Game 1, a better effort in Game 2, then a great performance in the first game at Sandman Centre, only to be outshot 49-24 in Game 4 to go down 3-1 in the Western Conference quarterfinal.
Now Kamloops has an uphill climb against a Rockets team that’s won 17 of the last 22 meetings, including this series.
