This is posted on Gregg Drinnan's Blog:Former Vernon Vipers Goaltender Lucas Gore of the Chilliwack Bruins is believed to have set two WHL records on Wednesday night. Gore, who is from Kamloops, stopped 77 shots, 72 of them through three periods, in the Bruins’ 2-1 shootout loss to the Chiefs in Spokane. According to the Bruins, those will be held as WHL records — most saves through 60 minutes, most saves through 65 minutes — unless proven otherwise. (The WHL record for most shots on goal in a game belongs to the Brandon Wheat Kings who, on March 12, 1979, rang up 85 shots in a 14-4 victory over the visiting Regina Pats.) The Bruins have picked up at least one point each of their last 10 games (7-0-3) and has moved from ninth all the way up to fifth in the Western Conference. Gore, 19, is the biggest reason for the climb up the standings. He has been nothing short of phenomenal over the last month. Of course, his superb play couldn’t have come at a better time, what with the franchise surrounded by rumours and speculation regarding an impending sale and relocation to Victoria. Gore played one season in Vernon (2007-08) before joining the Chilliwack Bruins the following season.
