Lakeshore, Ont;
On Friday night the Mooretown
Flags were in Lakeshore for game
six in the first round of the
Great Lakes Jr. C Hockey playoff
series and were defeated by the
Canadiens 4 - 3 to force game
seven.
The power play
was a major factor with three of
the four goals scored by
Lakeshore were with the extra
man. In total Lakeshore
had five power play
opportunities. Mooretown
scored once on two
opportunities.
Lakeshore took
the lead late in the first
period at 18:50 scoring the only
power play goal in the period by
JJ Percy.
Matt Brandon's
power play goal at 4:35 in the
second evened the score with
Ryan Lyle and Joe DeSena
assisting. Lakeshore then
went on and scored two back to
back power play goals at 13:13
and 17:09 with Steven Sartor and
Sebastian Kannally scoring.
The Flags came within one before
the period was over when Cameron
Rannie drove the puck in at
18:54. Trevor Bogaert
picked up an assist on the play.
In a penalty free
third period the two sides went
back and forth and at 15:52
Lakeshore beat netminder Brandon
Johnson to give the Canadians
the two point spread. The
Flags continued to battle back
and in the last minute of play
with Johnson on the bench Joe
DeSena scored at 19:19 to narrow
the gap. Flags
continued with the extra man but
Lakeshore held back the attack
and took the win forcing the two
teams to meet for the final game
tonight in Mooretown.
The puck drops at
7:30 pm at the Moore Sports
Complex.
