This is going to be quick
Awesome game last night, kudos boys for being ready to play out of the gate. Now, do it again tonight, pretty please.
Drew Owsley got the shutout, earning himself First Star honors at the game, and 3rd Star honors over at Buzzing the Net:
Owsley erased the memory of getting hookedin his previous start against the Portland Winterhawks. The 18-year-old netminder logged a 30-save shutout in the Ams' 5-0 victory over their division rival. It was his fourth shutout of the season. (BTN)
From the Examiner:
"We're looking more at tomorrow and Sunday, though," said Tri-City coach Jim Hiller, referencing Saturday's game in Spokane and Sunday's in Chilliwack. "We're hoping that beyond tonight, it pays dividends there as well."
"We were good tonight from the drop of the puck, which is different from our last two games here," Hiller said. "Ows (Drew Owsley) made some good saves, and we got the first goal, which was important."
Captain Kruise Reddick continued to round into the form he showed in last year's run to the WHL Finals, scoring a goal, adding two assists and firing the team up with a rousing pregame talk.
"If you heard him before the game, he set the tone in the room," Hiller praised. "That, more than anything, is why we won. He was dialed in, and he made sure the team was from the start as well." (Examiner)
I'm going to go out on a limb and say those keys to the game I posted yesterday will be pretty much the same for today's matchup. And the Ams could steal that 10 shots in 10 minutes idea from the Winterhawks. I'd add another key to the game is to win faceoffs, but c'mon, I am a realist.
I really wish I had the "I Believe in Drew Owsley" sign tonight but it's in sister's car. Maybe I'll whip up a new one before I head up to enemy territory.
