Rematch with the Lakers
February
8th – Shallow Lake at Goderich. The Sailors faced off again against the
Shallow Lake Lakers this weekend in another pre-playoff exhibition game. The Lakers were clearly determined to avenge
their 7-2 loss on their home ice at the end of January and kept the Sailors to just 1 goal in the
first period off a top shelf shot by Alex.
However, Goderich owned the second period and put 4 more points on the scoreboard with just 1 going to Shallow Lake. The first goal went to Noah with a sneaky trick pass by the Lakers defensemen and deke around their goalie. Alex got his second of the night with a sniper bar down shot off assists from Logan and James. Ryan went into ‘beast mode’ while his team was shorthanded and landed the fourth goal for Goderich to make it 4-1. Noah ended the second period 5-1 for Goderich with a weave, weave, 5-hole goal. Two more goals were added to the total in the third period with a nice rebound shot by Lucas and another deke goal for Noah to make it a hat trick and a 7-1 final. The Sailors defensive lines were exceptional and shutdown the many advances by the Lakers and also contributed to some great penalty killing by the team. Nyden made some awesome saves when the Lakers did manage to get away a shot or break into the Goderich zone. Stars of the game went to Braeden, Josh H. and Snowden. Let’s keep the momentum going for the start of playoffs later this week! Go Sailors!
