The Thunder have been on a slide but have looked adversity in the face and have tried their best to shore its self up over a tough strech.  Sebastian Laplante is back in his starting goal position for the Thunder and started friday against Memphis.  Unfortunatly that means that the Thunder had to cut a goalie.  Dan Giffen a Rookie goalie in his first year in the CHL had won the hearts of fans but had recently had some very rough games.  Andrew Martin who joined the team when Sebass was hurt, showed some promise but also had a tough time in one of his games.  Who do you keep? 

The decision had to be made and had to be made quick.  And so the Thunder kept Martin and wished Giffen well on his future career. So with a new change to the roster and a familiar face back in the net the Thunder limped into Memphis to take on the Red Hot RiverKings.  Laplante looked like he had never missed a game and put up a very solid performance leading the Thunder to a 3-1 victory over the Kings.  The only goal allowed by Laplante in the game came on a penalty shot late in the second period.  Tomorrow the Thunder will take their will to win to the Century Tel Center where they will face the Mud Bugs.

Good luck guys and Happy Thanksgiving to the entire CHL family and its Fans.
