Playdowns FINALS Game#2 Windsor 5 Belle River1 4 OT
The Windsor Jr Spitfires took to the road to take on the Belle River1 Jr Canadians in game 2 of the 6 point series.

Game 1 was a fiesty affair that Windsor came away with by holding on in the last minute of play but that excitment paled in comparison to what each team brought to the table in game 2.


The only thing that would have made this game better to watch would have been if it had taken place in the larger arena!!


Period 1

The puck drops and is moved towards our our left wing but is intercepted and there is a race to our net - BOOM Belle River is up 1-0 after just 15 seconds. It looks to be a long night already. The Belle River squad is applying the pressure and has frequent breaks to the net. Windsor turns the puck into the Belle River zone but cannot score. Belle River is hard on the puck and they are shortening their bench and adopting a win at all costs mentality. Windsor is hanging on and getting their chances. The games settles as the period ends.


Period 2

Windsor scores their first goal to tie things up as Muxlow finds the back of the net with assists coming from Boismier and Silvester. Belle River is fighting for the puck in our zone,  the puck is jammed in putting the Canadians up by 1. Belle River again comes storming back with their long legged AP missing on a break. Hope he packed a lunch because it doesn't seem like he's getting any time to rest. Windsor nets their second goal as Remneitz scores from Renaud and Silvester. We are tied 2-2 when a face off deep in the Belle RIver zone is pushed by Muxlow to Boismier and Gamble who finally shoots it by the Belle River goalie. We are up 3-2. There are plenty of missed calls in favour of the Canadians but finally we get a couple breaks. We have a 5 on 3 but give up a break away and commit our own foul. Belle River is awarded a penalty shot by the potentially exhausted AP with only 3 seconds left in the period. The Belle River forward has a fast start and approaches the net. He whistles off a doozie but Aiden Woytowich comes up large with a blocker save. The period ends and it is a heck of a game.   


Period 3


The period starts and it is tense. The teams are giving their all. We still have a power play when again Belle River breaks to net beats our defenders and scores. Again the game is tied. Later Muxlow is on a breakaway and tripped  - NO CALL. Earlier in the game Belle River was given a penalty shot for the same offense!! Windsor continues to battle hard Kuharski up to Boismier, he passes to Muxlow and a GOAL - WE ARE WINNING!!
There is some time left on the clock and Belle River uses it to their advantage as a low shot beats our net minder Chams and again we have a tie. Time ticks away to end the period. WE GO TO OVERTIME!!!!


OVERTIME

The puck is dropped and the crowd in in a frenazie, the kids are playing their hearts out. Belle River gets into penalty trouble and Windsor has the advantage. Midway througth the period Muxlow has the puck and is moving quickly up the ice, he is tripped but manages to push the puck to Poisson who is alone and moving fast, he looks up and finds his target and lets the puck go..................HE SCORES!!!! WINDSOR WINS THE GAME!!!!



What an amazing game! This was the most exciting contest of the entre season. Now Windsor is up 2-0 and needs 2 points to take the championship. I'm not sure any game can top this one but look out tonight as Belle River will again pull out all the stops.
