The North Okanagan Knights came into Kimberley with a less than stellar record. And that record showed, not only in on-ice performance but also after the play interactions with fans. The Dynamiters took advantage of this a played, I'd say, a near perfect game with the lead.
Game Notes
McBain started the game.
1st
The offence came fast and furious! The Dynamiters scored three goals within two minutes (Busch, Jowsey, Hancherow). The Knights swapped goalies after the third goal. Despite having three penalties called against them, the Nitro's potted two more goals. One was an odd situation that doesn't happen very often, Marchi scored on a penalty shot while short handed. Klingspohn added the 5th goal of the game. The Dynamiters outshot the Knights 17-7.
2nd
The barrage of penalties being called against the Dynamiters, but the Knights just couldn't get organized. The Dynamiters showed the Knights how to utilize the powerplay when Rosolowsky slid the puck in. The Knights responded within 10 seconds to make it 6-2. Despite being outscored this period 2-1, the Dynamiters led in shots 16-9.
3rd
According to the boxscore, the Knights changed their goalie again, but I don't think that happened... All I know is that the Knights lost focus. Their scratched players began calling out fans. The goalie began taunting the audience, and pesky Garrington complained to the official about the fans bugging him after he egged them on. So with the Knights being focused more on what was happening, and responding to things outside the rink, that allowed the Dynamiters to score two more goals (Klingspohn & Van Steinburg).
Nitro's Player of the Game
Jordan Busch. Solid in his own end, potted the opening goal and added two assists.
