The Atom Chinooks hosted Picture Butte's Blades for game two of round one playoffs at the MCC Arena on Sunday February 23. Having lost by 3 (9-6) the day before at Picture Butte's rink, the Chinooks needed to win by 4 to continue to round two. They almost did it. The Chinooks were up 5-1 at the end of the first period. A rollicking second period narrowed the gap, with the Chinooks ahead 7-4 at the buzzer. The Blades had a strong third period, tying it up 7-7 near the halfway point, then 8-8. The Chinooks won the game 11-9, two goals shy of winning the two game series.
Lots of scoring again from Rylan Bruns, who alternated between terrifying slapshots and deft back hand plays along the way. It was nice to see Alex Comeau and Caleb Evans be rewarded with goals after many well played attempts. Tip of the hat to Logan Deley, who assisted every chance he got. Tristen Blood made a huge difference in net again. Major props to the whole Atom Chinooks team for playing as a team, this was one of, if not THE best game I saw them play all season. Everybody played their part. Real hockey, done right.
