It was going to take a lot for last night's game to top Wednesday's against Fort Mac. It topped it and more with the best part being the Pontiacs and Storm go at it again tonight.
Steven Seigo took advantage of a bad G.P. line change, walked in and snapped low blocker to open the scoring in the first period.
The Storm would tie it with Dennis Rix's 11th of the year 6 minutes into the second with Devon Kalinski restoring the Pontiacs lead before the period was out by poking a lose puck in the crease home before Matt Milne could find it.
That was it for scoring in a hard fought hockey game.
-----
The game did feature a hard hit from behind by Eli Grossman on Lucas Isley. Isley was shaken up and remained on the ice for a couple minutes before making it to the bench. There was no penalty called on the play. Thankfully Isley was alright and would return to action.
In a classy move Grossman sought out Isley after the game to apologize.

Besides that the hardest hit of the night might have actually happend about 90 minutes before puck drop. I slipped on a puddle on the stairs at the RJ and ended up about 4 stairs lower than were I started with my legs right out from under me.
Just a warning for fans when they come to the rink those stairs can be slick.

After calling them out ealier in the week I should say how much I enjoy the Grande Prairie Storm's website. The updates are great.

Hmm.. gpstorm.com called the game a stinker. I thought it was a GREAT game!!!!!
The classy GP fans, who sat in front of the sound booth, at the end of the game put the icing on the cake. (do you smell a hint of sarcasm?) Its alright though. When I really come down to think about it, I would cry like a baby, whine, and stomp my feet like a three year old too if my team was as good as the Storm and lost to a team as lowly as the Pontiacs. Then again, maybe not.
GO PONTIACS!
I thought it was a pretty good game again on Saturday. Pontiacs outplayed the Storm but the Storm out-goalied the Pontiacs. But it goes to prove that the Pontiacs can play even with the top of the league. I feel confident with this team in the playoffs as long as injuries don't play anymore roles.
It was good to see the GP fans didn't get all riled up at the end of the game. GP coaches are a different story. Gloating at the fans at games end? nice.
GP's coaching will the demise for that team like it was last year. Vanderkampe is far to emotional when he needs to be calm and cool.
For starters ,we are good fans.We travel just like every other fan /parent in the league to watch our team.When we hear your ' fans' if you could call those three losers across from player bench that.When you start calling out 18,19,20 boys ,from where i sit their the ones with problems.Vanderkampe did no such thing ,but i guess it makes for good reading.
Oh you silly GP fan! giggle!
