THE OCN BLIZZARD WENT INTO THIS WEEKENDS MATCHUPS AGAINST THE SELKIRK STEELERS ON A 2 GAME WINNING STREAK.
THEY WENT INTO SELKIRK SATURDAY NIGHT FLYING IN THE 1ST PERIOD SCORING 2 BACK TO BACK GOALS . COREY CHECCO PUT THEM ON THE BOARD 1ST AND THEN WES DOBBIN GOT THE SECOND ONE. AFTER THE 1ST PERIOD IT STOOD AT 2-0.
IN THE SECOND PERIOD THE BLIZZARD WOULD DRAW 1ST BLOOD AGAIN WITH ANOTHER GOAL FROM WES DOBBIN HIS 3RD OF THE SEASON FOR THE BLIZZARD.
THEN THE STEELERS WOULD TAKE CONTROL OF THE HOCKEY GAME HALFWAY THROUGH THE SECOND PERIOD.
THE STEELERS WOULD GET A GOAL FROM RILEY PORTNER, AND THEN BLAKE BURR TO MAKE THE GAME 3-2 AFTER THE SECOND PERIOD.
THE STEELERS WOULD AD ONE MORE GOAL IN THE 3RD PERIOD BY BRETT NAMAKA TO TIE THE GAME AND SEND IT INTO OVERTIME.
THE BLIZZARD CAME OUT IN THE 3 ON 3 OVERTIME FLYING . BUT THE STEELERS WOULD CAPITALIZE ON THEIR CHANCE AT 2:08 INTO THE OVERTIME FRAME ON A GOAL FROM BRETT NAMAKA AND THE STEELERS WOULD “STEAL” THIS ONE FROM THE BLIZZARD 4-3.
THE SECOND GAME OF THE BACK TO BACK SERIES WAS IN PEGUIS AT THE BEAUTIFUL NEW MULTIPLEX RECREATION FACILITY.
FROM THE START OF THE GAME THE BLIZZARD PLAYED WELL. ZAK CLOUTIER WOULD MAKE A BUNCH OF KEY SAVES FOR THE BLIZZARD BUT WAS FINALLY BEATEN AT 7:55 IN THE 1ST PERIOD. THE STEELERS WOULD TAKE THE 1-0 LEAD INTO THE SECOND PERIOD AND THEN THE BLIZZARD WOULD BE PENALIZED. THE ENSUING POWER PLAY WOULD PROVE TO BE BENEFICIAL FOR THE STEELERS AS BRETT NAMAKA WOULD SCORE TO MAKE IR 2-0 STEELERS.
THE BLIZZARD WOULD GET ON THE SCOREBOARD AND GET WITHIN ONE OF THE STEELERS ON A GOAL FROM SEQUOIA SWAN AT 15:00 INTO THE SECOND. THE STEELERS WOULD AD ONE MORE GOAL IN THE SECOND FRAME AND THEN ADD AN EMPTY NETTER IN THE 3RD TO SWEEP THE WEEKEND SERIES WITH A SCORE OF 4-1
