Juvies are One Step Closer
Wow what an exciting game to watch!

With the second game of the weekend starting less than 14 hours from the first, the team new how important a quick start was. Having Nathan O'Hagan back in the lineup added some jump and much needed strength along the wall. With 2:25 to go in the first O'Hagan had an offensive impact burying a wrist shot from a nice breakout play with Andrew Dentinger and Steve Thompson. Ennismore answered right back 25 seconds later with the equalizer. The Capitals did not let this rattle them and they rallied together and continued their smart puck movement and forecheck pressure and eventually took the lead at the 3:18 mark of the second when Kurt Petrik taped in a loose puck. Helpers again went to Dentinger and Thompson and the juvies skated into the flood with a 2 - 1 lead. In the third, Walkerton started with good jump and more chances but with no success. Ennismore got one of its few opportunities and made it count tying the game at 12:21. Again the guys didn't let that rattle them and carried the play to Ennismore for the remainder of the 3rd and into overtime until Captain Parks got the monkey off of his back and buried the game winner and giving Walkerton the 5 point to three series lead. Game 5 goes tomorrow at 2:30...Go Capitals Go!!!
