Whalers come from behind to beat the Steelheads

 

 

The Whalers played the Mississauga Steelheads yesterday at Compuware Arena. Mississauga used to be the Majors but they changed their name to Steelheads this year. Their new jerseys have a fish on them and I don't think I like them.

Well the Whalers came from behind and won 3-2. The Whalers outshot the Steelheads badly and had 42 shots. I don't know how many the Steelheadsd had but halfway through the third period, I looked up and they still only had 9 shots all game. The Steelheads aren't bad but I think they wait for the perfect shot, and I think they should shoot more. They had one weak shot on the power play that went in so you never know what will happen if you shoot. Mississauga' goalie, Spencer Martin stopped a lot of shots but he gives up a lot of rebounds on easy shots which is not good.

The Whalers played pretty decent. Ryan Hartman got a goal and assist and was a pest all night and getting on the Steelheads nerves. Garrett Meurs scored the game-winner so I give him the Whaler Town player of the game. I put his picture up and also one of him and me taken 3-4 years ago when I was a lot smaller.

My team, Arsenal starts up today and I hope we win. My coach moved me up from his 12 year old team to his 14 year old team which is cool because I am 10 years old. After that, we go see the Whalers play the Soo Greyhounds. I hope they win too.

Knights shut out the Whalers

 

 

 

The Knights shut out the Whalers 5-0 yesterday. Not a good game but the Whalers did not play badly until the middle of the third period when things were getting a little sloppy. It was another sellout and I think there were even more people there than Friday night so that is good.

In pregame warmups, Stefan Noesen broke the glass behind the Whalers net with a shot and the glass had to be cleaned up and replaced before the game could start so the game started a little late. I have seen the glass break before. There were people taking pictures of it. I was down by the locker room with the Kids Club and we had to wait a long time for the players to come out for player introductions.

The Whalers didn't score but I give Michael Whaley the Whaler Town player of the game because he is doing a good job killing penalties and has done it all year.

There was some good news. Yesterday, I tried out for the Arsenal tournament travel team, the Arsenal 02's and I made the team! I already play on the regular Arsenal team but this team is the tournament team and we are going to travel and even play in Mississauga at the Hershey Center where the Steelheads play. So there was some some good stuff yesterday.

Oh I got hit with a puck in my left shoulder in my game yesterday and it still hurts. We lost and we are 5-2 now so my game was rough too.
