PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes got their weekend started on a positive note as they won round two of the "115 Series", beating the Oshawa Generals 5-4 in front of 2,748 fans at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
As was the case last week in the Motor City, Oshawa jumped out to an early 2-0 lead only to have the Petes storm back for the victory. Badly out shot once again, Peterborough somehow found a way to ride the strong play of goaltender Jason Missiaen. Several players stepped up their game. Among them were overage center Brett Theberge who chipped in with a goal and an assist as well as winning many key faceoffs en route to being named the game's first star. Other strong performances turned in by Ryan Spooner who notched a timely shorthanded marker, Zack Kassian with strong play along the boards, and David Quesnele who potted the game winning goal.
The CHL's greatest rivalry played out as it has many times in the past. Following Kassian's early second period goal which tied the game at 2, a couple of scraps ensued, neither of which resulted in clear cut winners. Late in the game with just under five minutes remaining, the Gennies thought that they had evened the score at 5-5. However after a lengthy delay which saw both referees and both linesmen in communication with the video goal judge followed by an exchange between the referee and the goal judge in the arena the goal was waved off and the Petes maintained their 5-4 lead the rest of the way.
The Petes hopped on the bus immediately following the game and headed for Parry Sound for the night before heading off to Sault Ste. Marie for tomorrow night's game, 7:30 PM against the Greyhounds on the all new 100.5 Kruz FM.
