The November 14th games against Columbia was the first time I'd gotten to see Shantz play. I was mildly dissapointed in that outing, as he gave up five goals - although the Blades did win 6-5 in a shoot out. Shantz was perfect during the shootout, but during the regular game, well, he made rookie mistake which resulted in the Inferno's third goal.

He also got lucky, as he was down, with no stick, during the overtime period, but there were no Columbia players in the area to shoot the puck. The Blades were able to clear, give Shantz a chance to get himself situated again.

The November 18th game vs. Pensacola was a much stronger outing, although he ended up with the loss, 2-1, dropping his record to 5-2-0.
