The Whalers beat the Windsor Spitfires 9-1 at Compuware Arena yesterday. Both Rickard Rakell and Cody Payne got hat tricks.
Windsor is probably the worst team I have seen all year and probably worse than Ottawa. They couldn't do anything. I don't know how they won 23 games. This one guy was sitting next to us and said after the first few minutes "Windsor is terrible and can't even get the puck out of their own end. This game might end 9-0. How did they get so terrible?" The only good player for them was Alex Aleardi and he scored their only goal. I feel bad for Alex who has to end his career with this team and won't get to play in the playoffs.
There was one strange play. Ryan Hartman did a wrap around and kind of shot it at the corner of the net and nobody saw the puck and the refs blew the whistle and signaled "no goal". Then when the Windsor goalie got up, he reached into a side of the net and pulled the puck out of the net and gave it to the ref. Then we all started screaming "Hey he pulled the puck out of the net! That is a goal!". Then they reviewed it on the replay and then they signaled that it was a goal so that was cool.
I give Rickard Rakell the Whaler Town player of the game.
The Whalers play the Sarnia Sting tonight but I can't go because I have a practice for my new travel tournament team so that will be fun.
Go Whalers!
