The Memorial Cup Tournament kicked off last night with the London Knights defeating the Saskatoon Blades 3-2. The Blades opened the scoring with a Josh Nicholls goal, but the Knights responded with goals from Brett Welychka and Seth Griffith. Nicholls added another goal to tie the game, but a third period goal from Nikita Zadorov put the Knights ahead for good. The Blades looked good despite the near two month layoff, thanks largely to Andrey Makarov, who played far better than in the Medicine Hat series. The Blades broke out special jerseys for this game, as you can see from the likes of Duncan Siemens and Michael Ferland. The Blades play tomorrow against Halifax while London will play Monday against Portland.
