DETROIT FALCONSvs. VANCOUVER WHALERS
Falcons win a tight one in overtime

Two of the top teams in the SMJHL met up tonight as we get a glimpse of two of the best offenses, and defenses. This game was a tight one through and through with a couple of solid performances by both netminders. The game started off solid defensively by both teams, and very disciplined too, with only one penalty in the first period. The teams almost got out of there without any goals going either way, but Hippo Passamus was able to put one away for the Falcons with just over a minute left in the period and the falcons went to the locker room with a 1 goal lead.


The whalers come out booming, with shot after shot in the 2nd period, and it finally pays off with a goal from Karazija halfway through the 2nd. Immediately after a frustrated Palicka takes a penalty and vancouver almost scores again to flip the lead, but detroit is able to get out of the period without giving up a 2nd one.

The final period is all detroit, as they outshoot the whalers 11-4, luckily for vancouver Stevens stands on his head and saves vancouver from losing this one, and this game is headed into overtime. The falcons dominate overtime again, the coach must have lit a fire under the players asses after the 2nd period because theyve looked like a full fledged shl team playing against a smjhl team. But again stevens makes a couple of incredible saves and this one goes into a shootout.
