Nitro’s lose 5-2 to Creston Valley

After a fantastic start to the game, in particular by Klingspohn, scoring two goals in about six minutes.

I have to admit this was also one of the least penalty filled games, both teams only having two power plays, with neither capitalizing. What was most frustrating was that Veitch from Creston was penalized, but no power play was awarded because it was a 10 minute misconduct, had it been a two-minute penalty, the Nitro’s would have had a power play.

Despite having a 2-1 lead into the second, the Nitro’s fell apart. And the third period which used to be their strongest because of their conditioning and speed, was poor as three goals, including the empty netter were scored.

Creston also took a page out of Kamloops playbook on how to beat Mousseau, and that is to shoot the puck wide and have it bank off the boards coming out the far side of the net.

Klingspohn, with the teams only goals, was the Nitro’s Player of the Game.

Unfortunately I do not have any pictures from the game because I was ill, but be sure to check out the teams Facebook Page for photos uploaded by fans.
