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.

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.
