Nobody Said It'd Be Easy
The Jr. Sting had a chance to eliminate London Tuesday night at home and advance to the semis's with a victory but the defending champs had a different plan.
After a scoreless and well played first period London would open the scoring at 10:36 of period two. They extended the lead 2-0 with a PP goal four minutes later. Less than a minute after they went up 3-0 and had Lambton running in circles. A timeout was called to try and calm things down. The period eneded 3-0 and Lambton staring up at a huge mountain and the game was officially out of reach when the Knights made it 4-0 at 11:56 of the third. The Sting finally answered on a PP at 8:38 when Bailey Smalls scored from Cade Robbins.
Ethan Hunt played another good game in net while the game ended 4-1 and the realization that Lambton had to go back to London on Saturday and attempt to knock off the two time defending champs in their own barn.
Nobody gave this group a chance to win a game this series let alone go the distance so they will put their underdog capes on again and play Saturday like it is the last game of their lives.
A very daunting task but I think the boys are ready for this challenge.
