CHIEFS, WHL

The Spokane Chiefs will host the Kamloops Blazers tonight (7; 790-AM) at the Arena, coming in playing on a roll.

A big part of that is the play of 19-year-old Michael Grabner the last six games. Jeff Bunch profiles Grabner and his most recent "Grabner moments," and how he battle through injury this season, in today's S-R.

Jeff also has news about a big WHL brawl on his blog.

The Everett Silvertips aren't too worried about the U.S. Division title – despite their inability to defeat the third-place Chiefs. No, they seem to be worried about the postseason already, and how they match up with the Vancouver Giants, as this Everett Herald story shows. The Tips are in the midst of an 11-day span in which they only play twice, both against last-place Portland.

As the trade deadline hits today, the Tri-City Americans don't seem interested in making a deal.

Seattle lost another shootout last night, making the T-Birds 0-10 in that category this season.
