Game Summary

Game Notes:

Here are some of the highlights.

Period 1

5:13 – After a questionable hooking call on Schmermund, the Chiefs go on a power play with Bruton (3) scoring off a rebound save by Guggenberger on a shot by Bowman.

10:44 – A back breaker short hand goal by Johnson (2) after stealing a pass by Colton Sceviour in the neutral zone and skating in one-on-one against Hawk’s goalie Guggenberger to give the Chiefs a 2 goal lead.

17:44 – The Hawks come back with a nice wrist shot by Francis (1) after a face off win by Sceviour in the Chief’s zone. The shot zoomed by Armstrong off his blocker side giving the Hawks some renewed hope near the end of the period.

Period 2

Hawks come out of the period with just what the doctor order a quick tying goal:

2:19 – Hawk’s Undershute off a face off in the Chief’s zone, played the puck forward to Valchar (1) for a nice wrist shot passed Chief’s goalie Armstrong.

The Hawks momentum and chance for a win ends 62 seconds later

3:22 – The Hawks coughed up the puck off the boards in there own zone giving the puck to Bruton who centers it to Bowman (6) for the open net score.

Hawks couldn’t recover and 17 seconds later the Chief’s score again.

3:39 – Wahl (2) scores off a rebound shot by Reddington.

The Hawks finished the period being out shot 16-6 spending much of the rest of the period killing 2 Chief power plays from Alexiuk (tripping) and Panchyson (High Sticking).

Period 3

The Hawks ineptness on the power play showed up in the third period with 4 power play opportunities and no scores. With the dominance of puck control on the power play, the Hawks were still only able to out shoot the Chiefs by 1 (12-11).

The Kneeing of Ponich by Kelner and then Bruton’s tackle on Walker set off some bad blood at the end of the game.

Swystun and Reddington started the fight which sounded from Andy’s broadcast like a slight advantage to Reddington.

Then both goalies (Armstrong, Guggenberger) met at center ice where Guggenberger put many good shots on Armstrong as a decided winner. Guggenberger was impressive in his first WHL fight in regular season.

Chiefs Three Stars:

Wahl (SPO), Bruton (SPO), Spurgeon (SPO)

Guggenberger Shilo Inn’s most physical.
