Playoff Results: Game vs Oshawa Minor Generals
On Saturday night the Petes played their first playoff game against the Oshawa Generals.  The Petes were set to put the past losses behind them and start a new chapter in their season.  The playoffs are when it matters, and all other games have been practice to get to this point.

The first period started with some back and forth play with the Generals getting most of the scoring opportunities.  Then after some matching penalties by both teams the Generals took control of the game.  The Petes struggled to get shots on goal and the Generals started to dominate play.  The Generals repeatedly pelted the Petes goalie with shots and after five minutes scored their first goal of the night.  The overwhelming pressure continued for the remainder of the period as the Generals asserted their dominance.  The Generals would score another three goals before the end of the first period to carry a 4-0 lead into the second period.

The second period was much of the same.  The Generals with momentum on their side kept the foot on the gas peddle and continued to pelt the Petes goalie with shots.  The Petes again struggled to get quality scoring chances as the Generals defense were able to keep the Petes forwards away for the Generals net.  The Generals would score another two goals in the period to extend their lead to 6-0 at the end of the second period.

In the third period the Petes hit the ice with the intentions to win the period and create some positive momentum.  However, the Generals would have none of it.  The Generals would start the period in full control of the game and scored another 3 goals full strength and 1 on the powerplay to increase their lead to 10-0.  Then it happened the Petes took advantage of a Generals mistake in their end.  The Petes got control of the puck in the slot and scored a top corner goal to break the shutout bid of the Generals goalie.  The final score of the game was 10-1 in favour of the Oshawa Generals.

The highlights of the game for the Petes were their persistence to play hard to the end and get rewarded with a goal, in addition to the gametime music which kept the atmosphere lively & fun.

The Petes next playoff game is against the Clarington Toros on Tuesday, February 28th @ 8:15 PM at the Garnet B. Rickard arena.
