Blazers 0-5, looking for answers
KAMLOOPS — Twenty-seven goals against through five games.
It’s the most against in the Western Hockey League and not the recipe to win hockey games — and the Blazers haven’t — at 0-5 and looking for answers early in the year.
“It’s a really hard league to play in as far as checking and playing defense, and I think when we’re giving up that many goals a game, it’s pretty hard to win,” said 20-year-old defenseman. “We’re really focused on our checking and making sure we know our assignments. We can’t have those bad breakdowns at bad times in the game.”
The Blazers have yet to lead in any games this season. In each of the first five losses, there have been lapses that have led to quick goals by the opposition.
