PETERBOROUGH, ON – The Peterborough Petes have officially gotten into a slump. Losers of eight straight heading into action against the Owen Sound Attack tonight, the Petes were unable to hold an early lead as they dropped their ninth in a row by a 7-4 final.
The first period was all maroon and white as they jumped out to an early 3-0 lead before giving up a late goal to head into the intermission up 3-1. Matt Puempel got the Petes on the board when he snuck a shot through Attack goaltender Scott Stacjer’s pads after receiving a long stretch feed from overage forward Pat Daley. Mike Lomas would score his first goal of the game before Austin Watson notched his second in as many games since returning to the lineup last night.
The Attack dominated the rest of the game as the Petes were only able to solve Jordan Binnington, who replaced Stacjer after the third goal, once on Lomas’ second of the game half way through the third period which was enough to earn him second star honours.
Rookie goaltender Andrew D’Agostini was solid in goal despite allowing six goals as he was left to fend for himself on several occasions due to defensive miscues. Austin Watson picked up the Hardest Working Pete of the Game as he had one goal to go along with his strong defensive play which saw him block several shots on Owen Sound’s eight man advantages.
Next action for the Petes is Thursday night when they play host to the Ottawa 67’s in their final meeting of the campaign. Game time for Thursday’s game is 7:00 PM.

Watson Returns, Skid Continues
PETERBOROUGH, ON - "It's too easy when you're not winning to look for excuses and point at others for reasons." Sean Burke.
This isn't the case for the Peterborough Petes. They have stopped pointing the finger, and instead are accepting the blame. In what was marked as the return of Austin Watson, the maroon and white could not quite take advantage of little mistakes by the Guelph Storm, as they saw their losing skid stretch to eight games at the Sleeman Centre in Guelph tonight.
The first period was dominated by the Petes, although the Storm escaped with a 2-0 lead. Scoring twice on just six shots in the period, the Storm put the maroon and white in a hole they couldn't dig out of.
Outscoring the Petes 3-2 in the second period, Guelph looked to have the game wrapped up. However, a strong comeback helped get the Petes to within one goal before being unable to solve Brandon Foote for the tie in the dying minutes.
Scorers for the Petes included Jamie Wise who notched his third, Jamie Doornbosch with his eleventh, Brett Theberge with his fifteenth and sixteenth, and Matt Puempel with his twenty-seventh.
Next action for the Petes is tomorrow night when they finish off the weekend at the Harry Lumley Arena in Owen Sound at 7:30 PM.

Surging Dogs Squash Petes
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Niagara Ice Dogs are getting hot at the right time. With just two weeks left in the season, the Ice Dogs have it a hot streak at the same time the Petes have gone cold. Receiving points in just three of their last ten games, the Petes will look to snap that skid when they hopefully receive Austin Watson back to the lineup before taking on the Guelph Storm tonight.
Last night was all Dogs from start to finish. Leading 3-1 after the first, 3-1 after the second, and adding two more in the third, the Petes couldn't muster much of anything, falling 5-1.
With the possible addition of Watson to their lineup, the Petes will look to snap their seven game losing skid and get a much needed two points against the Storm at the Sleeman Centre tonight at 7:00 PM.

Petes Hang Tough, Drop Afternoon Decision
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes earned just one point in their two games this weekend. Taking on the second ranked teams in either conference, the London Knights and Ottawa 67's, the Petes managed to force the Knights to a shootout before falling victim to a very talented London squad before traveling to the Nation's Capital this afternoon and dropping a 5-2 decision.
In last night's meeting with London, Mike Lomas, Brett Theberge, Jack Walchessen, Justin Larson, and Lomas' second of the night was enough to force the extra frame against the Knights. Rookie goaltender Andrew D'Agostini played well in between the pipes despite allowing five goals in regulation. It took the Knights six rounds in the shootout to finally put the Petes away in what was the best full effort by the maroon and white this season.
Today the Petes ran out of gas. Playing in the second of back-to-back games, Matt Puempel and Liam Heelis tallied for the maroon and white and Jason Missiaen was steady in goal.
Next action for the Petes is Thursday night when they take on the Niagara Ice Dogs at the Peterborough Memorial Centre before heading off to Guelph and Owen Sound to close out their Western Conference play for the 2009-10 season.

Petes Drop 6-4 Decision to 67's
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes showed great heart and no quit tonight at the Peterborough Memorial Centre however, the effort was not enough as they dropped a 6-4 final to the visiting Ottawa 67's. Both teams have been hit hard by the injury bug as of late as the Petes have been without Ryan Spooner and Austin Watson, and the 67's came into town walking wounded, missing Tyler Cuma, Ryan Martindale, and Tyler Graovac.
The 67's dominated the first period after handling an early maroon and white onslaught. Tallying twice in just over six minutes to enter the first intermission with the 2-0 lead.
Scoring was not hard to come by in the second frame for either team as Matt Puempel drew the Petes to within one before the 67's responded with two more to increase the lead once again. Brett Theberge and Puempel rounded out the scoring for the second period as Ottawa remained with the lead after forty minutes of play, 4-3.
Despite a valiant effort in the third period, the maroon and white were unable to capitalize on their late chances as Cody Lindsay scored his first of two in the frame to increase the lead to 5-3 before Liam Heelis capitalized late on a power play to bring the maroon and white back within one. However, it was all for not on this night as Lindsay scored into the empty net to seal the victory for the Ottawa 67's.
Next action for the Petes is Saturday night when they play host to the London Knights before a rematch with the Ottawa 67's Sunday in the Nation's Capital.

Petes Split Weekend Games
PETERBOROUGH, ON - The Peterborough Petes recovered nicely from a 5-4 home loss to the Kingston Frontenacs when they beat the rival Oshawa Generals 6-3 last night at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.
Thursday night's game saw the Petes come out of the gate flying but they were unable to beat Frontenacs' goalie Tyler Beskorowany for the early lead. Four straight goals by the Frontenacs, including a short-handed marker, gave Kingston enough of a lead that they would hang on despite the maroon and white pulling within one goal twice.
Last night's game started much the same as Thursday's as the Petes came out with a lot of energy. However this time they would solve Oshawa goaltender Michael Zador twice for the early 2-0 lead which they would never let go of as they hung on for the 6-3 win.
Matt Puempel and Justin Larson led the offense as they both notched five points in just the two games. Jason Missiaen was in goal for both games.
Next action for the Petes is Thursday night when they play host to the Barrie Colts, 7:00 PM at the Memorial Centre. Thursday is the much anticipated "Pink in the Rink" night. Fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.
