Whalers beat Guelph in overtime!

 

 

 

 

I think after losing those 7 games in a row that the Whalers are back now. Tonight, the Whalers beat the Guelph Storm 3-2 in overtime. It was a good defensive game and the shots were even. Not very many penalties or power plays. In overtime, Connor Carrick got the puck at the blue line and shot it not too hard but it was in the air and got by the goalie who I think was screened.

We really like Connor Carrick. He is an offensive defenseman and carries the puck in the zone for scoring chances but he doesn't make many mistakes on defense either. Connor is drafted by the Washington Capitals and he will probably be in the NHL one day. Because Connor won the game, I give him the Whaler Town player of the game.

I wore my Ottawa Senators Jason Spezza jersey that I got for Christmas for the first time. Here are pictures of it. During warmups I was slapping hands with the players and Michael Whaley saw the jersey and said "Go Senators!" Whaley is usually pretty friendly. I once saw him in Target but I didn't talk to him. My dad said he probably would have talked to me.

The Whalers play three weaker teams next week and maybe they can win all three. That would be great.
