The Blades have completed a playoff comeback that saw them rally from a 0-3 best-of-seven playoff series deficit against Red Deer, to come back with four straight wins to take the series 4-3.
It’s only the third time in WHL history a team has competed such a comeback.
Game seven was a see-saw battle from the start, with the Red deer Rebels and Saskatoon Blades each exchanging goals in the first period.
Hunter Mayo scored 12:10 into the first period to give Red Deer a 1-0 lead.
But just over two minutes later, Connor Roulette would put away his second of the playoffs for the Blades to even things up.
In the second period, the Blades would grab the lead, courtesy of Spencer Shugrue, who knocked in a rebound following a two-on-one chance for the Blades.
