Cats fly their way to an 8 - 4 victory over Lakers

story  and photos by Ian Gibson


Derrik Pilatic flew through the air with the greatest of ease, but could not be held back as he
proceeded to score two goals in the victory over the Lakers.

Elliot Lake Arena, Friday November 20, 2009, the Innisfil Lakers hot off their 8 - 3 victory over the Algoma Alouettes had the tied turned against them as the bobcats came out flying in the first period.  Not to take anything away from the Lakers as they were not lying down by any stretch of the imagination, the shots on goal were 19 to 18 in favour of the Cats.  The major difference was that the Lakers goalie allowed four goals to the Cats Two. 

The second period was almost identical to the first whereas everything was the same except the shots on goal; 17 for Innisfil to 16 for Elliot Lake. Score at the end of the second was now 8 to 4.

There was no scoring in the third and the end of the period was a little chippy, but not overly so.

The 275 to 300 fans were treated to some very good hockey this evening that had a smattering of errant passes that lead to a few goals for both sides, although from a Bobcat fan standpoint it seemed that we had more two on ones, breakaways and in one case a two on zero situation which didn't pay off.  Final shots on goal were 50 for the Cats and 47 for the Lakers.

Outstanding players for this game were: #10 Derrik Pilatic, #13 Roman Jurak and #23 Patrick Mirga.  For the Lakers #12 Viktor Perezhogin, #4 Mark Padobnak and # 21 Nils Berger.
