The Waterford Whalers ended the regular season with a gut wrenching defeat against the Can Can girls last night 9-6. It ends a turmoil season of injuries, vacant goaltending, and a unproductive Montel scoring output.
Last night's game was the best effort by the Whalers all season, in a 9-6 defeat. Team Captain The Chief Editor had some positive words for his players after the game.
"We played hard the entire game, and didn't leave anything to chance. We had several great offensive opportunities we didn't cash in on, but overall I'm very pleased with every one's effort tonight. Sometimes you have to give the other team credit, and the Can Can girls had some impressive goals."
Previous night the Whalers coasted by District 9 with a 9-6 victory. Superstar Don led the way with 6 goals, and Montel jr had a pair in the win. The Whalers jumped out to an early 4-0 lead, than played awful in the 2nd period to allow District 9 back into the game.
But the Captain iced the victory late in the third with a long wrist shot that beat the goalie through his legs.
So the season ends with a 4-6 record. Not too bad for a team that started out 0-5. A lot of heart was shown down the stretch run, and the Whalers will prepare for their first playoff game Monday night at 9pm against District 9.
Come out and support your Whalers. The Montel brothers will reveal their new intro this Monday night, but you can have a sneak preview with the following clip below.
