First mistake looses

Tonight James was back on the ice for their playoff game and he did really well. He was happy to be back, I think.

The two teams are very evenly matched in this series. No goals were scored in the first 2 periods. In the break before the 3rd period the consensus was the first team to make a mistake would loose. But that wasn't how it played out.

Whitby scored a few minutes into the 3rd period on a breakaway where they had 2 forwards on 1 defence. A good clean goal.

About 5 minutes after that Kingston was in a change of shift. So 4 of their players were getting off the ice and one of their players (who had the puck was skating down the ice with it) He had no backup as he was the only Kingston player on the ice (other than the goalie) but he managed to skate through all of their players and score. Sometimes what you don't think is a threat, really is one.

So we were back in a tie and thus it continued until the end of the 3rd. If it was a regular game that would have been the end of it. But as it was a playoff, they have 10 minutes sudden death overtime. And somehow Kingston managed to score. So it was all very exciting!
