I like to picture this game. Sawblades skate on the ice, look around, completely dumbfounded. Wranglers skating and passing with ease around these Portland players not even playing, just slack-jawed and staring at the stadium around them.

"Can't even blame my players for the 12-1 loss. Like, how does this place work? Could you imagine the maintenance cost?"

This is also why Portland did not have a bid for an outdoor game. It scared the organization.

 
Prosecutor Edgeworth’s short answer to the debacle, “The fact that they get to host 41 home games outdoors is blasphemous.”

Stop being jealous, they won 41 of the 44 outdoor bids fair and square.

Calgary should be prohibited from hosting an outdoor game until such time as they move indoors. What's the point? Sheez.

Why? They arguably have the best venue to host an outdoor game in their bid.

It's cause they already host outdoor games. If you have a treat constantly, the specialty gets downplayed. It's like the Blackhawks IRL. Their in so many "special events" that the novelty os worn out.

I mean if they can afford it who am I to say what they can and can’t have. JAH just played their cards right when it came to an arena. While all this is going on the LA Titans are staying quiet hoping they aren’t called out next hahaha.

I like the fun rinks, since re-evaluating it I’ve come to terms with fiction being fiction. Even want to add that Portland has decided to install the disco light rink surface from the NHL Hitz roller rink stadium option. It has been installed under the ice and will be used during pre game, intros and intermissions..... and maybe during fights as well. Portland is the party capital of hockey and the Sawblades are your host.

For Reference:

Gotta admit, the Lite Brite clown dungeon would be a pretty hilarious idea for a hockey rink, not sure how it fits the Sawblades, but I like it!  Also, the LA Titans fear no call out!

The 2004 Adams Cup Playoffs
