The Tigers will have a tough schedule from here on out. During 3 of the next 4 weeks, (including this one)they will play 3 games in 3 nights, with one of those weeks a 5 games in 6 nights stretch, with little rest in between.
Every game from here on out is against their own conference, which means almost every game will be considered a 4 point game.
It is time to see what the tigers are made of. haha
Tri-City 5 at Medicine Hat 4 Final OT
Man O man were their a TON of scouts at tonights game. I must have seen at least 15-20 of them on just one side of the arena.
It's too bad for Mark Isherwood cause tonight he had his worst game as a tiger. He was fighting the puck all night, took a really dumb penalty in the second. He coughed up the puck to give tri-city a 3on1 in overtime, which they scored on; definitely had an off night.
Overall a disappointing finish. The tigers played a good game but took some untimely penalties, a couple mistakes, and well.... disappointing reffing.
I thought both goalies had tough games. They didn't play horrible but they could have played much better on both sides.
It was a pretty even game, both teams at some point took firm control of the play. One play specifically in the third period had the entire arena enraged at the referee McLean.
The fans were already a bit irked because of 2 non-calls, which could have very well have been penalties......then giving Tri-city a 5on3 with 2 questionable/borderline calls worked the fans into a frenzy...and the We Want A Ref Chant filled the building. BEing a ref is a tough job, but that one horrible call(the first tiger penalty)really magnified itself tenfold when the tigers took another penalty less than a minute later.
Colton Yellowhorn then made the tigers pay, and tied the game with 2 perfect shots on the powerplay, completing his Hat-Trick. Tri-City kept the momentum into overtime, and capitalized on a Defensive miscue to win the game.
Its too bad we only play Tri-City once a year because it was a fun game to watch.
Bretton Cameron, Micheal Ahlen, Mathew Konan,Jerrid Sauer stood out for me, I thought they had good games.
Bendfeld,Farmanara,Isherwood had poor games
