In November alone, the Nitro’s have lost 4 times to a score of 5-2, so beating the Rebels 5-2 is refreshing!
Shot blocking was a key part to the Nitro’s success in this game. There were a couple of shot blocks that stick out. Busch blocked a shot that would have led to the Rebel’s taking an early 2-1 lead. Revie also took a shot to the leg, and limped off, during a penalty kill.
Most of the second period, despite the Nitro’s being outshot 11-6 was spent in the attacking zone, leaving Mousseau lonely:
The cocky player of the year that I have seen by far was the Rebels Disher. It’s just a shame he didn’t “dish” (you see what I did there) anything out, no penalties, no goals, no point (the forgotten ‘s’ is intentional).
The referee was a little peculiar at times. Especially late in the 2nd, Miller was being dragged down to the ice and lost his helmet, yet was called for holding…? Bizarre.
I have also learned to be careful with my tablet when snapping pictures, because this hit:
Had me scrambling to keep my tablet from falling to the the ground! (As can be seen in this pic)
It is really hard for me to pick the Nitro’s Player of the Game for this game. Should it be the Marchi PP goal that was scored with a jumping-screen block? Or should it be Mousseau for making 23 difficult saves? Or Buckley who killed the Rebel’s chances of coming back by picking out the corner of the net? Or should it be Rosolowsky for scoring two goals in the first period? I choose Rosolowsky!
Now to the pics I got from the game:
