Game 7 in Shearwater - Game 1 in Antigonish
The Liverpool Privateers will need another solid performance from net minder Keaghan Larade as they travel to C.F.B. Shearwater Friday night for Game 7 in their Fox Divisional Final with the Capstone Colts in the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League. The Colts won the opening three games of the series including the third game 2-1 in overtime, yet the Privateers simply refused to quit and have come back to win the last three games all in overtime by scores of 1-0, 4-3 and 4-3 again, this one in double overtime. Larade has stopped 199 of 213 shots in this series and has a save percentage of .934 and a Goals Against Average of 1.95. Joshua McCarther has been strong in the nets for the Colts as well stopping 194 of 209 shots for a .928 save percentage and a Goals Against Average of 2.54. Both teams have managed one short-handed goal apiece in the six games but the Privateers have proved to be more effective on the power-play scoring 11 times versus the Colts 8. Of the Colts 8 Power-Play Goals, Brady Crossley has scored 4. The Colts leading goal scorer and point getter in the series is Cooper Puma who has netted 5 including three power-play markers and Stephen Warwick who has scored twice and added 5 assists. Daniel Kline has garnered 11 points for the Privateers with 3 goals and 8 assists while Kayden Nickerson and Daniel LeBlanc have both scored four times and added 6 assists for 10 points. The Colts have outscored the Privateers 17-15 over the 6 games while in the regular season despite winning two of three from the Privateers, Liverpool outscored the Colts 11-10. Buckle your belts as these two teams have played a heckuva series and only one team can leave C.F.B. Shearwater tonight with a berth in the Fox Division Final against the East Hants Penguins. Who that will be is absolutely anyone’s guess at this point. Game Time tonight in Shearwater is 7:30. Elsewhere Friday night….
