Bad. Just plain bad.

The Spokane Chiefs entered Friday night leading the U.S. division. They would not finish that way.

The Chiefs played most of the first two periods flat and with little enthusiasm against the Seattle Thunderbirds. After a scoreless first period the Chiefs managed to get on the board when Tyler Johnson put one past the Goalie just before the end of the second period to give the Chiefs a 1-0 lead. Then my favorite player Ryan Letts added his fourth of the season to make the score 2-0 a minute into the third period. It looked like the Chiefs got things going again.

Then the wheels came off.

Seattle gets a quick goal to cut the lead in half, and then adds a shorthanded goal to tie the score at 2. Seattle continues to capitalize on the Chiefs sloppy play to add their third goal of the period with six minutes to play. They would not let up the rest of the way: Seattle 3, Spokane 2.

I can only hope that what I witnessed was the worst game the Chiefs will play all season. They continued to make mistake after mistake. It was only a matter of time before Seattle started scoring. Let's face it: Seattle was the better team Friday night.

Hopefully they will get their act together for Saturday night's game against Prince George.
