Playoff Game 3
Ok folks, it's game day! Do we have what it takes to git'r done and move on to face Lucan for all the marbles???

The butterflies were running rampant through our goalie's stomach prior to game time....not sure about all the other Great White Atoms? No doubt a few for sure!
The good news is it didn't show too much on the ice tonight. We played well and Thamesford was playing hard as would be expected from any team with their back against the wall. The first period started off on a good note with the good guys scoring first when Cole Abbey found some room and scored an unassisted goal at the 7:12 mark. Colbey Relou scored our 2nd goal after a scramble in front of the net with 1.4 seconds left on the clock to end the first period, assisted by Lynden Luis.
The second period started off with good opportunities being traded at both ends, our defense was solid as usual and Ben was making some great stops to keep Thamesford off the score board. With 2:50 left in the 2nd period Cole Abbey scored his 2nd of the game, assisted by Colton Cordeiro. Great job boys! Colton earns the 5 bucks for the nicest assist tonight on the goal that puts us up 3-0 going into the 3rd.
The last period was a bit nerve racking in my opinion, the kids seem to be celebrating a bit prematurely and lost the jump in their step we witnessed in the first 2 periods. Thamesford was spending more time in our zone and playing harder, or maybe we were just laying off a bit too much? My opinion is the latter occurred. Ben made some great stops to keep it under control, that is until a Thamesford player was left wide open in front and buried a point blank shot for their first goal. Fortunately we managed to play out the rest of the 3rd with no scoring and taking the game and series with the 3-1 victory.
Great job team! We have earned a shot at the league championship and we know it won't be easy to win.Let it be known, if anyone can do it, THE GREAT WHITE ATOMS CAN!!!!
GO COUGARS GO!!!!!!
