Game Recap (at Kingston)

Well, the 67s lose 4-3. (OHL game summary here.) Apparently, Killer was trying to shake things up by changing the lines.

1. Tsimikalis, Kaspar, Petruzalek
2. Bonello, Mancari, Akeson (replacing Bickell)
3. Talbot, McGinn, Lahey
4. Ouellette, Alphonso, Lawrance

Hmmm. Interesting. Lawrance on offense.

Brody Todd and Brian Bickell both sat out. Very interesting indeed.

Akeson got a goal. And he was given second star by The TEAM 1200, who said he scored, was physical, and had an all around good game. (Could it be that my karma post worked?) It sounded like the defence were still playing poorly - allowing break-aways, etc. Kilrea said in the pre-game interview that he was on the look-out for new guys, and that he wanted to give the rookies some playing time.

Scoring Summary:

OTTAWA
1, Akeson, (Bonello, Beard), 03:01
3, Lawrance, 01:52
3, Petruzalek, (Colbert, Kaspar), 05:04

KINGSTON
1, Shutron, (Rizzi, Pronk), 15:04
1, Smolenak, (Hughes, Stewart), 18:25 (PP)
2, Stewart, (Kotsopoulos), 07:54
2, Emmerton, (Smolenak), 13:01

67s come away with only 1 out of 4 points against divisional rivals. Not a good start. I cringe, thinking about what is going to happen next week, when the 67s play the Knights. (Belleville lost 8-2 to London on Friday night.)
