Shock blown out by SaberCats
About the only thing Spokane got right Saturday was Raul Vijil's jersey retirement ceremony at halftime. Vijil gave an emotional speech and he received a standing ovation. His No. 15 now hangs next to Spokane's division, conference and league championship banners.
The rest of the night belonged to San Jose, which hammered the Shock 83-28 -- the worst loss in the franchise's 10 seasons. Spokane's most lopsided loss previously was a 69-34 setback to San Jose in 2012.
Link to my game story, John Blanchette's column and Kathy Plonka's photos. One fix to my gamer: Shock trailed 49-21 at half, not 49-14.
