It's playoff time! With three games left on the schedule, each division is in a heated best out of 3 series. The pressure is on!
The Blades teams started things off with a 4-4 tie. This game will be continued next week, when the White Blades get a chance to end things with a penalty shot. It looked like the White Blades were going to take this one but Purple Blades stormed back in the third period. Simeon W led the Purple Blades with three goals and Greg V also added one. Samuel G scored a pair along with one each from Sam L and David V for the White Blades. Look for an exciting game #2 next week!
The tension could be felt in the Sabres game. The White Sabres did take the 1st game 5-2 but was a much tighter game then the score lets on. Both teams played well but it was the strong goaltending from Ben K that helped bring the White Sabres to victory. Noah W scored the hat trick along with a goal from Joshua K and Nicolas R. Brandon W and Tim V each scored for the Black Sabres. White Sabres lead the best out of three series 1-0.
Both teams came out flying this week for the first game of a best of 3 playoff series. It was a great back and forth game with some strong defensive efforts by Hudson L and Kyle C for their respective teams. Jacob K opened the scoring after some nice puck handling to put the Whites up by one. The Blues had some strong offense by Keira W and Carter W but couldn't beat Colten M who played net for Whites and ended up earning the shutout. Breydon W put in another solid performance between the pipes for the Blues but Ryder M slid one past the line in the 2nd to put the Whites up 2-0 which turned out to be the final score.
Come cheer on your team next week!
