FRIDAY NOV 19 – TORONTO 8 PICKERING 0

Funny how things can change so quickly in the OJ … after scoring 16 goals in their last three games, the Panthers drew a blank tonight against the Toronto Patriots. Although they skated hard, they always looked like they were chasing the puck and everything was just a little off. They had an especially difficult time in their own end as the Patriots controlled play and were finding those small openings in the goal on what seemed like every shot. Toronto scored three in the first and five in the second.

Aidan Feddema turned aside 9 shots over the first two periods and Ethen Beattie 14 shots in the third. Pickering needs to lock this game in a box and reset as they take on the Royals on Tuesday.
