CHIEFS

The Chiefs made a quick stop in Tri-Cities on Saturday night. A quick stop that resulted in a 4-3 loss.

Jeff Bunch was there to chronicle the game – and the Americans’ announcer statement, after the game, the Chiefs are one loss closer to $100,000.

Of course he was alluding to Chiefs’ owner Bobby Brett guaranteeing the Chiefs will make the playoffs or the organization will refund $100,000 to season-ticket holders.

The Chiefs are 1-2 but have yet to play at home. That first home game will be Saturday night against the same Americans. But before that, Spokane will travel to fifth-ranked – and division favorite – Everett on Friday night. Also on Jeff’s blog is a question: Who should be the Chiefs captain?

Back to Everett, the Silvertips will be getting back talented center Peter Mueller from the Phoenix Coyotes.

The Portland Winter Hawks and Kamloops set a WHL record with 12 shootout rounds in Portland’s 3-2 win on Sunday night. The game was decided by lightly used Tristan King’s first WHL goal.
