Blazers notebook

Former Blazers player and assistant coach Chris Dashney has been helping Doug Sauter and Peter Arvanitis coach the team this week.

Dashney was the CHL Coach of the Year in 2005, after his first season coaching Lubbock.

But he was fired by the Cotton Kings in February.

While Dashney asked not to be quoted, Sauter said, "He's just here killing some time. He's been bored out of his mind. He's an old Blazer who would like to see us do well. He'll give us another opinion, another eye in the sky, like a scout in baseball.”
