It wasn't a very pleasant season opener for the whalers on Tuesday Night against the Land Sharks. Spot the rookie goaltender from the OHL wasn't able to attend, so Brian Boytanio had to fill the goaltender position.
The Whalers were very disorganize in the first two periods, and spent more time chasing the puck around in their own defensive zone. At the end of the second period when the Whalers gave up 2 goals within the last minute, it deflated the club who was down 9-2 after 2 periods.
But the third period, the Whalers made some line adjustments and were playing much better. They managed more shots and scored three goals in the period to made it a justifiable lost of 11-5. After the game we caught up with the captain of the team the Chief Editor.
"We played a very sloppy game in the first two periods, and it showed. I'm satisfied with the third period effort and we have to play a full 45mins game with that composure. This is just the first game and we can build on this defeat and play a more intelligent game next week against Shop Rite."
The Whalers are holding another unofficial practice at Skate Zone tomorrow afternoon at 3pm to work on skating and trapping in the neutral zone.
Go Whales Go
