Whalers win a close one

The Whalers went up in the series 2-0 by beating the Sting 3-2. The whole story here was the referees who called a lot of penalties and a lot of bad ones on both teams. Then when they knew they messed up, they were calling make-up calls that were just as bad. They called crazy penalties against both teams. I guess I can't complain too much about the referees because after the game, I was standing  next to the referees tunnel and one of the refs gave me the game puck. I have a lot of game pucks because I stand there a lot but I will always take another one.

My Uncle Mike and Aunt Kristin were at the game and they had an extra ticket so they invited my mom so that was cool and I visited them during the game. My mom sent me a text and said she saw me picking my nose but I wasn't.

I give Mitchell Heard the Whaler Town player of the game because he got a goal and an assist.

Now the Whalers go to Sarnia for two games and maybe they can win both games and end the series there.   

Mitchell Heard wins it for the Whalers!

Great game yesterday as the Whalers beat the Spitfires 4-3 in overtime. Mitchell Heard scored the game-winner and it was a beautiful goal. He was one on one with a defenseman going in on net and he put a spin move on and the defenseman got out of position and then Mitchell shot it in the net. It was the best goal I saw all year. It was a sell-out yesterday and when Mitchell scored that goal the crowd went crazy and it was LOUD! I give Mitchell Heard the Whalertown player of the game.

Vince Trocheck scored too and it was his 50th goal of the year. Right now he was something like over 100 points and is tied for the league lead in scoring and I hope he wins the scoring title. I remember when Tyler Seguin won the scoring title a few years ago and that was great.

The playoffs start Friday and Saturday next week and we are going to both games. I think we are going to play the Sarnia Sting.

Go Whalers!   

Whalers come back against the Storm

A good game for the Whalers last night but it didn't start so good. The Whalers were losing 3-0 in the first period after two really weak goals. Then we changed goaltenders and started over.

Posa from Guelph then had a bad 5 minute high stick penalty and got kicked out of the game and we sit right by the visitors tunnel and he slammed the door shut when he was leaving and was really mad. I was standing up and pointing to the tunnel and told him he had to go. Actually I do that to every player on the other team when they get thrown out. Then the Whalers scored two goals in the 5 minutes and after that the Whalers kept scoring and won 7-4. It was great. I give Matt Mistele the Whaler Town player of the game because he got a hat trick. The Whalers have won 5 in a row which is cool.

It was Autograph Night last night and after the game the Whalers came out and signed autographs. I got all the Whaler players autographs and some guys I got two and Vincent Trochek I got three. All the Whalers are nice. Matt Mistele, Sebastian Uvira and Mitchell Heard were about the nicest last night. Before last night, I had over 200 signed Whaler cards and I probably got 30 or 40 last night so I will have to count and see how many I have now.

The next game at Compuware Arena is Friday against Windsor and it will be cool to see Alex Aleardi in his first game back but it will be strange to see him in a Windsor uniform. My dad might have a late meeting Friday so my mom said if that happens, she will take me and Alex to the game so we don't miss.

Whalers win on Election Day!

 

Hey, the Whalers beat the Saginaw Spirit 4-1 today. It was the special Election Day afternoon game.

The first two periods were just ok for the Whalers but in the third period they turned it on and got two goals and beat the Spirit. There weren't many people at the game because it was an afternoon game during the week but they missed all the fun. Actually after the game, we were eating at McDonald's in Northville and a boy my age came in and saw my jersey and said "Are you going to the Whalers game tonight?". I said "They just played and we went and they won." He said "I wish I went!"

Rickard Rakell scored one goal and had two assists. Stefan Noesen had two goals so I give him the Whaler Town player of the game. I put up a picture of Stefan, Mitchell Heard and me.

Also tomorrow is my brother Alex's 16th birthday and they announced his name and birthday over the loudspeaker and put his name on the big screen. He did not even know they were going to do it and he was surprised.

The Whalers also play Friday and Saturday at Compuware Arena so we get three games this week!

Sarnia stings the Whalers

Ok, the Whalers didn't play so great yesterday and lost to the Sarnia Sting 7-5. My brother and dad were saying that the Sting were just quicker to the puck in the first two periods. Also we gave up an easy "five-hole" goal on a weak shot early and that didn't help.

One good thing is that Zach Bratina scored his first OHL goal. I hope they saved the puck for him. Another good thing is I won the Whalers Kids Club player signed photograph of Alex Aleardi and they announced my name over the loudspeaker and put my name on the big screen. I won one of Alex last year too but I will take another one. That's cool. If I can scan it, I might it up here in a post.

Another cool thing is we saw Mitchell Heard walking around the crowd and it was nice to see Mitchell again. He was walking around with Tom Wilson who is injured right now.

Well Alex Aleardi scored two goals so I give him the Whaler Town player of the game.

I bet the Whalers will play better next week.

The next game is Tuesday afternoon  and we don't have school because it is election day. I don't know if my dad or my mom is going to take us because my dad works on Tuesday but we are going because we have tickets.

Going to Owen Sound this week

I am going to Owen Sound this week with my family to our cottage for a vacation. Well, actually the cottage is on Manitoulin Island right near Owen Sound and we drive right through Owen Sound to get there.

I am going to wear my Whalers jersey there. You know, to show them who's boss.

Go Whalers!
