Bulldogs advance - 7th game for Colts and Privateers

It was likely a tougher battle than the Antigonish Jr. Bulldogs expected but the Jr. Bulldogs finally advanced to the Sid Rowe Divisional Final against the Membertou Jr. Miners with a thrilling 2-1 overtime win over the Port Hawkesbury Strait Pirates Tuesday evening in the Strait.  The Jr. Bulldogs dominated play outshooting Port Hawkesbury 41-15 but incredible goaltending by the Pirates Michael MacMullen kept Port Hawkesbury from advancing to a 7th game until there were 3:32 left in the first overtime when Sam Mattie scored for the Jr. Bulldogs to give them the 2-1 win and the series in  six games.  There was no scoring in the first or third periods but Ethan Price of the Bulldogs and Brady MacNeil traded goals for the two teams in the final 3:47 of the second to knot the game at 1-1 and eventually send it to overtime.

The Colts began the series riding a 12 game winning streak and then defeated the Privateers in their opening three games to increase their winning streak dating back to the regular season to 15 but Tuesday night at the Eastern Shore Community Centre Sportsplex, the Privateers came out strong and took a 4-0 lead 44 seconds into the second period and hung on from there to defeat the Colts 4-3 and force a seventh game in their Fox Divisional Semi-Final.  Kayden Nickerson was huge offensive plus for the Privateers scoring once and assisting on a pair while Malcom Bussey scored a pair, all of these goals coming in the opening period.  Daniel LeBlanc put the Privateers up 4-0 with a power-play marker before Tyler Puma scored the Colts first goal to leave his team trailing 4-1 after forty minutes.
 
In the third period Cole Good and Griffin Peers tallied for the Colts but it was as far as they could go, unable to score the tying goal.  The Colts outshot Liverpool 31-23.
