Nap Time With The Cornwall Colts

The first period started out at a slow pace and set the tone for the remainder. A lot of neutral zone clogging as Cornwall failed to get out of it's own zone repeatedly. Eight shots for Brockville and six for Cornwall after 20 minutes.

A couple chances but none of which really challenged either goaltender. A 30 second spurt of fast low impact hits turned up the intensity late in the period. Three penalties called with Cornwall getting the only powerplay but they spent most of the powerplay fishing the puck out of their own end.


Kyle Baun. Grandson of former long time Maple Leaf Bobby Baun was taken into the boards headfirst in neutral zone in the first couple minutes of the second to which he stood up and wrapped his arm around the head of the opposing player and pulled him down to the ice. Inexcusable at higher levels of hockey. Baun took it into his own hands. Not the most effective way to stand up for yourself but atleast he did something unlike his team mates.

A couple Cornwall chances one which should have been a goal but midway through the period both teams continue to play very conservative. A couple players jawing at each other but referees break it up and the period ends scoreless. I'm beginning to wonder if they will offer refunds. The fans didn't come here to watch two teams play defense all night trying to win a 1-0 game.


Third period begins. More back and forth neutral zone dominated play. Halfway through the third and Cornwall has a player streaking up the right side on a semi breakaway he fires it to the opposite side of the net and beats the pad to make it 1-0 Cornwall. Nothing of substance happened after this and the Colts walk away with a 1-0 victory.
