Best Game of the Season said Coach Leonard
Friday October 16, 2009, Centennial Arena - if you were amongst the 350 odd fans you were treated to a great game. Both the goalies were outstanding warding off good opportunities at both ends of the rink. The total shots on goal were 45 for the Cats to 31 for the Deseronto Storm, which in itself is a testimony to the great goal tending and tribute to the offense. The first period was end to end action as both teams felt each other out. The Cats opened the scoring at 8:55 by Johnnny Johnson from Filhtaut and Pilatic. The Storm replied with 6:35 to go on a shot from the point by # 91 Jeff Moris from Deaver and Clark, during a power play. The period ended tied one all. The Bobcats came out of the locker room as if they had rockets on their skates and it paid off with them managing to get it by #39 Travis Elvin twice before the close of the second. The third saw excellent offense and defence from both teams. It literally had everything from a sliding blocked shot by the Cats on an attempt from the slot to speedy aggressive back checking. From my vantage point, and I dare repeat myself, it was a great game and I for one am glad that I did not miss it. Outstanding players this game: Aside from both goalies (#1 Matt Perry for the Cats and #38 Travis Elvin for the Storm) I would select the whole of the 2nd period Bobcats who were on fire and #17 Brad Clark plus #91 Jeff Morris for the Storm. Coaches Comment: The best game of the year where all four
lines played very well and goal tending was excellent.
