For The Opposition’s Viewpoint

I like reading the opposition’s view of the game, as well as the local media. It’s good to get both sides of the story, because often the truth lies somewhere between them.

Taking a look at the Gens’ homepage, they have detailed game summaries posted. In this case, it seems to be pretty much what I saw on TV. Here’s a snippet from their summary for the game last night (link):

Trailing by one goal heading into the third period, the Oshawa Generals came out hard at the 67’s to try and tie the game. Offensively the Gens threw everything they had at Ottawa, but couldn’t put one past 67’s goal tender, Danny Battochio.

Oshawa’s best chance came at the 12:28 mark of the third when a brilliant pass by Adam Berti sent captain Brett Trudell in alone on the Ottawa net. A desperate diving poke check by Ottawa defenseman, Will Colbert broke up the play, but cost the 67’s 2 minutes. The Gens couldn’t get set up in Ottawa’s end and ended their power play opportunity without producing a good scoring chance.

With 1:17 left to go in the game and a face-off in Ottawa’s end, Bob McGill called a time-out and took DiRienzo out for the extra attacker. Ottawa’s Derek Joslin would scoop a loose puck send it down the ice into the empty net to make it 5-3. With Oshawa’s goalie still on the bench Ottawa would add one more into an empty net as Julian Talbot completed his hat-trick to make the final score 6-3 in favour of the 67’s.
