The Ghostriders played a home and home with Golden Friday and Saturday. The games didn’t mean anything in the standings because Creston got moved to the Murdoch Division for the playoffs. More on that in a few paragraphs.*
Fernie couldn’t get second place and Golden couldn’t catch Fernie. So the games were just a tune up on defensive play PP and PK etc.
The Games
The bad news for the Riders was that for the second week in a row they lost to the Rockets in a shootout, this time 2-1 in Fernie the good news... there are no stupid shootouts in the playoffs. The bad news we don’t get the fun three on three either.
A few Notes
Dylan Lacroix started both games in net...the boys didn’t score for him Friday but they did Saturday.
Ethan MacDuff scored his 17th goal, it was the only goal Friday
On Saturday
Stay at home D man Nick Mitchell scored his first goal and Cole Fisher scored his 5th .
Matthew Schulmeister got his 2nd and Reese Maclean got his 2nd as well.
Liam Samyica scored his 5th and 6th and Kort Kisinger got his 16th and 17th.
Jock Michael finished the night with 3 assists against his former team and Kolby Hennessy had 2 assists.
As of now the Riders will play the Rockies in the first round... but that could change. The Rockies are in Fernie Friday and host Golden Saturday. Kimberley has Creston Friday and are in Castlegar Saturday ... Pick em
I was told Fernie’s first two home playoff games will be Friday and Saturday the 25th and 26th...
*It’s a long story that you can read here but basically it happened because Nelson and Golden didn’t want to play each other because of the long travel and money... but in the summer they agreed to it.
Nelson would have been ok but Golden probably doesn’t have the crowds and money to burn on that series.
I can’t believe Beaver Valley agreed to this change, now they have to play Creston instead of Castlegar. If their Governor agreed (probably didn’t) to the extra travel costs to appease their hated rival in Nelson... they need a new Governor... for $2000 I’ll vote yes... come on down Monty
And Finally, and not a moment too soon
Lots of talk about relaxing restrictions in the future... but we’ve heard that about 90 times already
I just wish we could go back a couple of years, Maybe if I eat a tide pod....
