The Whalers come up big by sticking it to the Nordiques 2-1. By moving Young Trent up to the front lines, the Diques didn’t have an answer for the one-two punch of the First Round Pick and his GM up in front of the net, as they combined for a score late in the first. Peso Martinez abused a defensive mistake late in the third and ripped it past Coan for the game-winner. Celly Deserved.
The North Stars didn’t have any solutions for the Seals, as they got blanked 3-0 in the lowest scoring Seals game ever. Pikora got the game-winner early off of a JFlo Slap-and-Tip and everything else afterwards was just gravy. The Seals are looking to cap off the first Shutout Circuit of the by league by stopping the Nordiques next week.
Goody Proctor and his Partner-In-Crime ShaunE couldn’t leave well enough alone, as Pikora’s early game-winner wasn’t enough for these two to added two points each to their stat line for good measure, as everyone in the Top Ten but DaveP stayed in neutral last night. These two are destined for Hardware at the rest of the season. Although they haven’t cracked the Top Ten, several Whalers are on the cusp of breaking in, including Young Trent, Peso Martinez, and Whalers GM Walters. Look to these guys to put points on the board next week.
