After a great effort against Drummondville from the Spitfires and a poor effort against Kelowna from the Oceanic. Many would expect a poor effort from the Oceanic against Windsor. Well, that was not the case. Rimouski certianly brought out their game legs against Windsor potting 5 and letting in 4. While doing that there were many scrums and a couple fights. When a game has 3 minors at the 20:00 mark you know these teams dont like eachother.
The first fight started off after McMillan leveled a Spit cleany into the boards. McMillan agreed to the fight but nothing was really thrown. A headlock each way and this is a non event. The 2nd fight was better though. After a scrum in front of the Oceanic goal. Spit Henrique and Oceanic Piche tussle a little too far and drop the gloves. Much to the fans enjoyment, Piche had Henrique in a headlock and fed him plenty of mini uppercuts. When it was all said and done Henrique had to get some repairs.
Oceanic led 1-0. But then Windsor scored 2 goals in 2:30. The Oceanic tied it back up and potted 2 more. Windsor struck within 1 before the 3rd. Although the Spitfires would start the 3rd on a PP. It would be the Oceanic striking first just 34 seconds in McMillan bangs home his rebound to really take the wind out of Windsors sails. Lokionov would circle the net and release a wirster that Gougen got a good part of but not enough and its a 5-4 game. After some glorious chances from Windsor the clock would eventually run down and the home team improves to 1-1 while Windsor goes 0-2.
What went wrong for Windsor? IMO it coulda been a couple things. After watching the pitful effort the Oceanic gave against Kelowna, Windsor may have thought this match would be a walk in the park. Also, Rimouski played day 1 and have had a couple days rest. The Spitfires had to play 2 games in 2 nights and may have been out of gas as they went to Overtime last night then had to play this afternoon. Combine those reasons and an "upset" doesnt seem too far fetched.
Tomorrow is the matchup im most looking forward to! Kelowna VS Drummondville. Who will stay undefeated?
