Spitfires blow over Guelph Storm 11-3.
The first period told the whole story as Windsor contributed five goals from Taylor Hall, Paul Bezzo, two from Dale Mitchell and a rocket slap-shot from Greg Nemisz. Guelph's lone goal came from Peter Holland as he caught Troy Passingham out of position. Spits would have a huge 5-1 lead going into the second period.
Windsor would continue their attack as Adam Henrique would score to extend their lead. However Guelph wasn't going down without putting a few goals up on the board as Holland knocked in a rebound past Passingham and Taylor Beck scored on a delayed penalty. Windsor would go into the third with a 7-3 lead.
The third period was more of a physical style of game play. Starting off with Windsors' Kenny Ryan and Guelph's Cody McNaughton squaring up with each other. Following that, there were multiple scrums in front of both teams’ net that led to penalties by each team. Windsor didn't just play physical though, they also continued scoring. The line of Nemisz, Eric Wellwood and Austin Watson, scored all four goals in the period as they went on to beat the Storm. Windsor out shot Guelph 56-24.
The most noticeable thing in today’s game was the Spits’ special teams. Their power play was phenomenal as they scored five out of 10 attempts and killed all eight penalties.
Head Coach of the Spits Bob Boughner tells In Play!, “Our power play is working. We're going with a better net front to help our power play.”
Dale Mitchell is today's In Play! Magazine player of the game as he scored his first and second goal of the season today that helped spark the Spits offensive dominance over the Storm.
In the post game interview Mitchell tells In Play!, “It was nice to get the monkey off my back. I have to keep doing the little things to improve.”
Tomorrow night at 7 pm. The WFCU Centre will be hosting one of the Subway Series games. This series consists of Team Russia taking on the OHL All-Stars.
