A slow Thursday . . .

An interesting story in the Saskatoon StarPhoenix about how a missed offside call had something of an impact on Game 4 of the series between the Blades and Lethbridge Hurricanes on Wednesday night. Cory Wolfe of the StarPhoenix has that story right here.

JUST NOTES: D Dalton Thrower, the 30th pick in the 2008 bantam draft, has joined the Saskatoon Blades. Thrower is playing for the Vancouver-Northwest Giants, who won the B.C. major midget league. It isn’t likely that Thrower, 15, will get into the lineup but he’ll get a taste of the WHL before returning to the Giants, who will meet the as-yet-undeclared Alberta champion in the B.C.-Alberta regional midget AAA final. That series will be played at the Burnaby Winter Club on April 3 (7 p.m.), April 4 (7 p.m.), and, if necessary, April 5 (2 p.m.). The winner goes on to the TELUS Cup national tournament Selkirk, April 20-26.
