Tight Game, Tough Game...
The OHMA Final series began tonight in front a great home crowd, between our Mitchell Meteors and the Stirling Blues.  With the two teams never meeting during this season, it was uncertain as to what the results may be when they met.

Right from the drop of the puck, action began fast and furiously.  The Meteors had some quality opportunities, but the Blues goal keeper was as sharp in net as Duncan was in his. The entire first period went by with very few whistles and was only a minute away from being penalty free.  Stirling would prove to be effective at their PK through the end of the first and into the second. 

Play continued throughout the second and third periods with great saves made again by either goalie and both looked as though they could keep their shutouts going forever.  Both teams had great forward rushes and equally solid defensive plays right through the end of the third and well into overtime. 

In the end it was the Blues who capitalized on a bouncing puck in Duncan's crease to take home a 1-0 win with only 3:50 left in the overtime period.

Great effort tonight.  Tough loss boys... Get some sleep and go again tomorrow afternoon for game #2 in Stirling (and game #3 Sunday)
