Whalers lose to Saginaw but we saw a zamboni crash!

 

 

We saw the Whalers play the Saginaw Spirit yesterday. The Whalers were outshooting Saginaw and winning the whole game and then with two minutes left, Saginaw tied it on a power play. Then in overtime, Justin Kea scored and won the game for the Spirit 3-2. The puck just floated slow past Mahalak like a knuckleball. Justin's dad was standing right behind our seat and he said "My son just won the game!" There were a lot of Saginaw fans standing behind us and one guy (not Mr. Kea) was not nice at all and screaming and swearing all game and I did not want his team to win but they did. Some of the Saginaw fans were screaming "I can't believe we won!" Not good.

Tom Wilson of the Whalers scored on a nice redirect goal. Ryan Hartman scored too and he had a lot of good shots. Hartman also threw a really great check in the third period which started a fight. Wilson was one of the stars of the game and when he came out for that after the game, he threw a Whalers shirt to me. It is blue and looks cool. Also we were wondering why Alex Aleardi did not get many shifts and then my brother went to his twitter and saw he was sick all day. I hope he gets better for today's game.

We also saw a zamboni crash! In the second intermission when the zambonis were on the ice, I heard a loud "boom" and then I looked and the first zamboni driver crashed into the boards when he was trying to drive off the ice, The zamboni was even stuck for a while. Then he got the zamboni free and backed it up and drove it through the opening. Then when the second zamboni driver drove his out without hitting anything, the people in the crowd gave him a standing ovation. That was pretty funny.

The Whalers have to win tomorrow against Oshawa because I don't want two losses in two days.

Go Whalers!
