Prague, Czech Republic- No time to heal their weary bodies, the Thunder Bay Timberwolves arrived in Prague looking to shake the jet lag and take points with them back to Canada. What they ended up with was splitting the two points at hand due in part to a third period onslaught of three goals for and a late tally from the Piranhas for a 4-4 tie.
>>>Playing the second of three games in three days, the Timberwolves got goals from TJ Oshie (short handed), Patrick Sharp (pictured), John Tavares and Rick Nash who was playing in his first game back in Prague since being acquired eight games ago.
>>>"It was a little weird being on the other side and in the visitors dressing room," Nash said. "Didn't hear too many boos, so I guess they didn't miss me too much."
>>>Like the day prior, the Timberwolves quickly packed up after the game and rushed to their plane for game three in three in Winnipeg.
>>>"It's gone a little bit better than I expected," said Timberwolves GM Blake Wendt. "The everyday routine is obviously non-existent. But I seen everyone sleeping on the flight over, so we seemed to be well rested."
>>>"Yeah, it was a smooth flight over," admitted Sharp. "No weather or turbulance that I noticed, and our plane has all the comforts of home minus it not being home."
>>>Within an hour of the game's conclusion, the club was on their Airbus 330-200 getting set to depart for their 10-hour flight to Winnipeg for tomorrow's game against the Ferrets.
