In the second game of the night we had Labatt Blues taking on the Whalers. The Whalers came into this week looking for their first win of the season after losing to the Gamblers 7-3. The Blues come into this week after a very impressive win over the Jacks in week one. The game started out with both teams going back and forth end to end but it was the Labatt Blues who got on the board first when Garren Poirier scored the game"s first goal at 10:47 with the assist going to Matt Littler. That would be only goal scored in the first period but both teams raised their play as the period went on which would lead to a couple penalties being called in the final two minutes of play as both teams were looking for the games next goal. The second period started with both teams being aggressive and taking chances on getting the games next goal. The Whalers pushed the envelope just a little too much and at the 12:38 mark the Whalers Jason Yehle took a body checking penalty. On the power play the Blues Geoff Noble was able to put one past Lallier to put the Blues up 2-0. Even though the Whalers were down by two goals they continued to play hard which would pay off just 20 seconds later as Dillan Pierce would make the score 2-1. The Whalers kept the pressure on the Blues as they forced the Blues to take a few penalties in the period but the score would remain the same. The period would end with the score 2-1 Blues and both goalies would end the second period with 20 saves a piece (Whalers-Lallier and the Blues-Seals). In the third the Blues picked up their play put another notch as they were the hungrier team, the blues would open the scoring at the 12:07 mark of the period when Matt Littler put one past Lallier to make the score 3-1. Even with the score 3-1 the Whalers would not give up until they heard the final whistle, the Whalers would have a lot of chances but the Blues goalie (Seals) was there to turn away the shots. The Blues would put the game out of reach at 4:21 when Mike Anderson scored to make the score 4-1 Blues. This game was very competitive but the Blues hard work and skill paid off as the game went on. The Whalers Lallier would finish the night with 27 saves and the Blues Seals would finish with 28 saves as both goalies played really well.
