WINDSOR, ONT. -
Steve Konowalchuk wouldn’t commit to naming a starting goaltender for the Seattle Thunderbirds’ biggest game of the 2016-17 season.
That’s the difficult spot in which the coach of the Western Hockey League champions finds himself at the 2017 Memorial Cup.
Seattle was crushed 7-1 by the host Windsor Spitfires on Sunday night at the WFCU Centre — the worst loss the Thunderbirds have had in the 94 games they have played this season, including playoffs — and 17-year-old Carl Stankowski was gone after allowing three goals on six shots in the first period.
