1st Period:  Sarnia’s Chris Theoret took a double minor for checking from behind at 4:32 and it led to a power play goal for London.  Scoring with the man advantaged at 5:49 was Matt Cassidy from Ian King and Gavin Moynaugh. With Joe Knapp of the Blue Devils off for an illegal cross check, the In Motion Pacers took only thirteen seconds to score their own power play goal.  Notching the goa lat 8:46 was Jesse Thompson with an assist to Jimmy Purves.  Sarnia was called for too many men at 10:22 and going off to serve that miner was Joe Allison.  London took the opportunity to score again on the power play with five seconds remaining in the penalty.  Picking up his second goal was Matt Cassidy from Ian King. With 30 seconds left in the period Sarnia took a timeout in an attempt to tie up the game. London was 2 for 3 on the power play and Sarnia was 1 for 1 with the man advantage this period. 


 

2nd Period:  Slashing was the call at 5:44 that would put Brendan Beavis of London in the sin bin.  Although the Pacers did not score while they enjoyed the man advantage they did tie up the game at the 7:55 mark.  Scoring the goal was Jimmy Purves and picking up assists were Jesse Thompson and T.J. Mara.  London regained the lead at 11:53 on a Kyle Childerhose marker from Winter Dockstader.   Tripping was the call that sent Mike Butler of the Pacers to the penalty box but it was a teammate Jimmy Purves who would score a shorthanded goal at 14:57, notching the game at three goals apiece.  Picking up assists were Jahn Budziewicz and Terry Miller.  The only bout of the game took place with 2:42 remaining and receiving five minute majors were Corey Millington of London and Jesse Thompson of Sarnia.  At the twenty minute mark T.J. Mira of the Pacers was called for high sticking and London would begin the third period with the man advantage.  Both teams were 0 for 1 on the power play this period. 


 


3rd Period:
  London took only 26 seconds before they scored on the power play and took the lead in the game once again.  Scoring was Matt Cassidy from Gavin Moynaugh and Mike Watson.  Sarnia came back with one of their own at the 1:10 mark with a goal off the stick of Jahn Budziewicz with an assist to Riley Thompson.  London’s scored twice to take a two goal lead by the 4:24 mark.  Scoring goal number five at 2:33 was Gavin Moynaugh from Matt Cassidy and Winter Dockstader.  Then it was Kyle Childerhose bulging the twine with an assist to Mike Watson.  A tripping call just seven seconds later put J. D. Beavis of London in the penalty box.  Getting the Pacers to within one on a power play goal at 5:18 was Jesse Thompson with assists to David Hornblower and Riley Thompson. Tying up the game at the 7:40 mark with his second in a row was Jesse Thompson. Helping on the goal were Terry Millar and Riley Thompson.  A bench minor for two many men was called at 12:47 against London and it was the Blue Devils who scored a shorthanded goal at 13:29 off the stick of Brendan Beavis unassisted.  Sarnia’s Jimmy Purves tied the game at seven goals each when he scored an unassisted goal at the 15:04 mark. With two seconds remaining in this period, Jimmy Purves took a minor for unsportsmanlike conduct and then received a game misconduct as well, sending him to the showers early.  Because the teams were tied at the end of regulation, a full ten minute period was played regardless of how many goals were scored by either team.  If the score was still tied at the end of the overtime, the game would remain a tie.  London was one for one with the man advantage and Sarnia was one for two on the powerover play this period.


 

Over time:  Once again the Blue Devils open the scoring with a power play goal.  Scoring it was Matt Cassidy from Mike Watson and Gavin Moynaugh.  The Pacers went on the power play when Matt Cassidy was called for unnecessary roughing at the 6:49 mark.  Tying up the game at 7:13 with a power play goal was Terry Miller with an assist to Riley Thompson.  Sarnia took the lead for the first time in the game on a Jesse Thompson marker at 8:16 with an assist to Riley Thompson.  With one minute remaining in overtime, London took a timeout.  Icing the win for the Pacers with 29 seconds remaining was Lance Ross.  Picking up assists were Greg Krstic and Jesse Thompson.  London was one for one with the man advantage this period and were four for six in the game.  Sarnia was also one for one on the power play this period and were three for five in the game.
