Spurs Sweep Jazz Conference Finals!

(AP) Denver, CO

Last night the Spurs swept the Hawaii Sandblasters at the Denver Coliseum. Game 4 was won in OT 6-5 on Ryan Smyth's 9th of the playoffs. It also completed a hat trick for Smyth in the game! The Spurs had also took Game 1 in Hawaii in OT. In the Jazz Conference Finals the Spurs scored 21 goals in the four games while the Sandblasters netted 12. Only Game 2 in Hawaii was won by a wide margin, that being 8-2. The other three games were all one goal affairs with the aforementioned two going to OT. These three games could easily have gone either way. It appears the Spurs may have just caught 'blasters netminder Henrik Lundqvist on some 'off' days.
Leading the Spurs in the scoring department so far in the Playoffs are Tkachuk (11g-15a-26pts), Selanne (11g-14a-25pts) and Captain Joe Sakic (6g-19a-25pts). Marian Hossa is second in the goal scoring department with 10 to date. Selanne leads the team with 3 game winners while Tkachuk and Lecavalier have two.
Dasher Notes
The Blues Conference Finals are currently tied at 2-2 between the Wisborg Donuts and the Karlstad Killers.
The Spurs will get some much needed rest while waiting for the outcome of the hotly contested Blues Conference title. It's a hot time in Denver while the fans
and the Spurs wait for the CCHL Finals for the first time in the history of the Yellowknife/Denver franchise!
