Sunday . . .

So, how did you spend your Sunday night? The Vancouver Giants, at the
invitation of minority owner Michael Buble, were at the Juno Awards. (To the
American readers, that would be like Canada¹s Grammy Awards.) . . . D Mike
Reddington of the Spokane Chiefs, who missed the last three games of the
regular season and all five first-round games against the Seattle
Thunderbirds with some kind of bug, now is listed as day-to-day. . . . F
Spencer Asuchak of the Tri-City Americans is waiting for the swelling to go
down in his left knee before he will know how long he¹ll be out. But the
betting is that he is gone for at least a month, longer if surgery is
needed. He didn¹t have an MRI in Everett, where he was injured on Friday
night, but did have X-rays.

have taken the Swift Current Broncos to Game 7. . . . One game Monday, too,
with the Lethbridge Hurricanes at home against the Saskatoon Blades. The
