WHALERS 4 SPITS 0 FINAL
The final 20 minutes of the season. Yikes! 

Big thanks to Dave and the gang at Rockhead Pub, 1444 Ottawa Street. Finer web partners do not exist! 

1:09: Peters going off for a trip on KoKo. PP#3.

No shots on that PP. 

6:40: Another PP goes by the wayside. One shot on that one. Nick Malysa blocked consecutive shots. Both ouchers. 

Not a heck of a lot going on here in the third. Whole lot of popcorn in the pressbox. Jim Parker is telling knock-knock jokes. 

11:20: Great shift for...Click here to read more
WHALERS 3 SPITS 0 END 2ND
Whalers start the frame with 1:33 of PP time. But again a solid kill. 

2:00: Now the issue is the Spits still have just six shots. 

3:12: Ho-Sang hauled down on the way to the net. Crowd let's out a sarcastic cheer. Feel a couple have been missed. PP#1 Spits. 

4:51: Aleardi nice feed to KoKo in the slot, but he can't handle it. Second unit out. 66-81-22-97-32. to wrap up the PP. But no love. Still just 8 WSR shots. 

7:20 2-0 PLY

32-73-19 with 8 and 22 got it going. Replaced quickly by 81-97-42 with the same D pair. 

3:01: Bater blows a tire and Meurs nearly has a chance, but tumbles a bit. 

4:58: 1-0 PLY
Malysa absolutely flattens Ho-Sang. Whalers take it the other way and Uvira scores. 

5:30: @emersonclark32 isn't going down easy. What a scrap with Sills. Good early shots by Clarky. 

6:04: What a shift for @aleardi42. Two steals. Two chances. General havoc. 

6:42: Bowen goes off for unsportsmanlike con...Click here to read more
SPITS-WHALERS LINEUPS
Hard to believe the end of the season is here. But here we are, on St Paddy's Day afternoon (ahem) as the Spits get set for the back half of a home-and-home series with the Plymouth Whalers. 

It's goodbye and good luck for a couple overagers: Emerson Clark and a true gentleman of the game, Alex Aleardi. 

#42 hasn't been here long, but he's made a huge impression on everyone he has met and dealt with. 

A minute on the soapbox here. I'm still pretty choked that the people in Plymouth last...Click here to read more
