Trocheck and the Whalers sting the Sting

 

The Whalers beat the Sting 6-2 yesterday at Compuware Arena. It was a good game. I came right from my game because I had a game at 5:00 and we were cutting it close.

The Sting scored first on a long soft shot from the blue line and I was thinking "Oh boy", but then the Whalers took over. The Whalers outshot the Sting by a lot and there were some long stretches where the Sting did not touch the puck. Vincent Trocheck scored two goals, one was just above the slot and the other was a nice passing play where he got it and deked the goalie. Trocheck is my favorite player and I give him the Whaler Town player of the game.

Colin McDonald had a good fight where he put his guy down and then the guy got up and then Colin put him down again and landed on top of him. Colin does not fight very much and this might be the first time we saw him fight this year but I could be wrong.

This was pretty funny. After the game, me, my dad and Alex went to McDonald's next to the arena. A bunch of Sting fans came in and one guy was in a wheelchair and he had a Sting jersey and on the back where the name is his said "Hot Wheels" I guess for his wheelchair. We saw him being pushed in the front door so we opened the door for him and then we saw he was "Hot Wheels" which was cool.

Two games next week and I think one is Trading Card Night and I like those because I get the cards signed and I have over 200 signed Whalers cards. I hope the Whalers had time to get a Trocheck card in there.

Hey, the Whalers are getting all pinked up for the Pink Out game this Saturday!

My mom says if I get my hair pink, she will just spray it on.

I am still deciding. I have a hockey game to play just before the Whalers game so I don't know. I don't want to distract my teammates, but they would probably just think it was funny.

Definitely gonna bring my camera to the Whalers game.

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.
