Whalers wreck the Spitfires

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!  

Whalers get back on track with big win over Erie

 

 

Today the Whalers played a matinee afternoon game and beat the Erie Otters 7-1. The Whalers carried the play the whole game and outshot Erie 48-25. It was a fun game to watch.

Both Zach Lorentz and Cody Payne had two goals and it was cool that Coach Vellucci gave them the last shift of the game so one of them could get a hat trick but it didn't happen. Lorentz is new because we got him for Alex Aleardi and he is a smooth player and not real big or really physical but he looks solid. Vince Trocheck got three assists and I think he is our best player right now.

We have a new player named Sebastian Uvira who we got from Oshawa. Sebastian is from Germany and he is pretty big. Today was the first game that he got a regular shift and he was great. He was carrying the puck and making scoring chances and hitting everybody. Then he got in a good fight with Dane Fox and put him down early but Fox got up and they kept going. I am liking Sebastian Uvira.

No game until next Saturday. I have a late game Saturday so I will be getting there just before the game so I can't get handslaps from the players during pre-game warmups but that is ok.

Whalers put the Ice Dogs back in their cage!

 

 

 

Do you like the title of my post? My dad said I should say "The Whalers ice the Ice Dogs" but I said it had to be something about putting the Ice Dogs in a cage so this is what I thought of.

Yesterday, me and my dad saw the Whalers beat the Niagra Ice Dogs 6-3. It was a great game! Cody Payne got a goal and an assist and was the first star of the game. Our backup goalie Riley Corbin was playing his first OHL game and he was making some spectacular saves right in front of us. He did let in a really long shot off right wing but maybe he was screened and couldn't see. I give Riley Corbin the Whaler Town player of the game.  

Also, our coach Mike Vellucci got his 400th OHL win. Veullucci is the best coach in the OHL.

It was Team Autograph Night yesterday so after the game the Whalers all came out and signed autographs for the fans and that was cool. I brought my Whaler hockey cards and got 25 signed. Now, I have 180 Whalers signed cards. All the Whalers were nice but Matt Mistele and Alex Aleardi were the nicest.

Next week is the Pink Out game for breast cancer awareness. If my mom can do it, I am going to get my hair colored pink for the game.

Go Whalers!

Hey, Colin MacDonald is the captain this year!

I like that because I like Colin. He is a defenseman and stops people.

I like it when he comes to my school too! (On the right and with Cody Payne also)

We don't have captains on my team, Arsenal. When we get a penalty, our coach says we have to go straight to the penalty box and he will handle talking to the referee.

I play defense so I get some penalties trying to stop people. When I am in the penalty box, my mom usually takes a picture. I think the pictures are still on her phone which is good. I am number 18 and we have the camouflage jerseys. I chose number 18 two years ago for Alex Aleardi of the Whalers but he changed his number to 40 and I just kept number 18 because I like it.

I looked at our schedule and it looks like there is a team called the Whalers in our league this season. It better not be Plymouth.
