What goes around comes around." Badham's game winner came shortly after Hache's injury. It was set up by Blades forward Sean Teakle, who steamrolled Raiders defenceman Brad Borgatti to force a turnover. Matt Ribeiro grabbed the loose puck and fed it to Badham, who quickly fired it past Capobianco. "All four of our lines can score," said Badham, whose line is relied on more for checking than scor- ing. "We're the high energy line. That's what we do. We just happened to put one in today." Lain added an empty netter in the final minute for the Blades, who played the final two periods without leading scorer Luke Moodie. Moodie was tossed near the end of the first for hitting from behind. "With their goalie going down and a couple key players out of their lineup, tonight was our chance," Zych said, almost ruefully. "We'll have to prove ourselves Wednesday." Ryan Murphy, Braden Birch and Farris scored for Oakville Saturday. THE Up to A E IGGEST SEVLR!
