Nitro’s return to win column with 7-3 win over Revelstoke

IMG_00000503

Apparently we missed you Marchi and Buckley! Both had a hat-trick in the game. The other goal was scored Bogdanek. And they weren’t even the points leaders in the game, Perpelitz and Stack were with 4 assists each.

There was a ridiculous amount of penalties in this game. Revelstoke was 2 for 14 on the powerplay, and the Nitro’s were 4 for 19. The unfortunate thing is some of the earlier penalties were lame, such as the interference call against Buckley, and then Sibbald is tripped and there is no penalty. What was even more bizarre was Revelstoke’s Dawson took a cheap head shot with his stick to Barzilay, of course roughing followed, but we ended up being on the penalty kill! Barzilay didn’t even return to the game.

Kinnon was the tough guy of the game as he took a puck to the face and continued playing.

The save of the game, or the “I thought we would score on that play”, happened against Hancherow, with the clock clicking down in the third, he had a wide open net and was going to make it an 8-3 game, but Brandoli’s glove robbed him.

Nitros player of the game was Marchi, not because he scored a hat trick (because Buckley did that too), but because he scored those three goals in half a game, and was buzzing around the net like he was going to score more, if only those posts would redirect pucks into the net instead of away.

I need to do a shout out to the Grizzlies coach for having the best mullet in the league.
