Atom AE Boys Lose Second Game in Provincial Finals
The boys hosted game #2 of the Provincial Finals last night against the North Middlesex Jr Stars and, although they played a better game than the first game, they just couldn't get the goals they needed to win this one.
The Meteors played harder, passed better and had more shots on net than they did in Game #1, but it was the Stars who got on the scoreboard first with a mid opening period goal on Mitchell's net minder Greg Reidy. The first period ended with the boys down 1-0. The second period was hard fought with many great chances on net but the Meteors just couldn't catch a break. Reidy made many key saves to keep the boys in the game but they just couldn't get one past the Stars goalie. With just over five minutes left in the third period, Tanner Meinen tapped in a rebound to get Mitchell on the scoreboard and tie the game. Brett Poirier earned the assist. The fans were on their feet and it looked as though the boys were staging a comeback. Unfortunately the last three minutes of the game were not in Mitchell's favour and the Stars scored two quick goals to win 3-1. Mitchell put themselves in a must win situation for game #3 in North Middlesex on Monday night at 7 pm. You've done it before boys! Let's do this! Good Luck!
