Blackland Twists the Ratz in Series Opener

Lethargic Ratz Fall 8-2
Kingfishers Squeak Past NBCC in Shootout
Blacks Harbour, NB - Although it is not clear if Ratz hibernate or not, it is abundantly clear that they at least get sleepy. After a scoreless and careful first period, the Twisters got second period markers from Mike England, Robbie Lambert and Steve Penny to grab a 3-0 lead. Penny added a pair in the third and Lambert scored another and Hockey Voice Player of the year 2008-2009 award winner Jordan Morrow and George Estey rounded the attack. Bill Taylor was solid in net, making saves when called upon. Mark Taylor and Greg Justason managed to penetrate the twines for the Ratz. It was clear who wanted the win the most and the Ratz now face a first round elimination like they have had in the past two FIHL seasons. The teams tangle in Game 2 at 7:40 on Sunday in Blacks Harbour.
The Fundy Kingfishers trailed most of the game Tuesday night but managed to tie the game with under a minute remaining. The 5 minute overtime settled nothing and despite hitting two posts in the shootout, the Whalers fell 7-6 to the Fundy Kingfishers.
