He did it again. Veteran O'Neill took a pass from Sinclair and showed some patiences as he hold the puck and skated across both hash marks and then fired a low shot to the far corner with just 13.6 seconds left on the clock. Clarke opened the scoring with an unassisted shorthanded goal to put us up 1-0. Halifax tied the score with 3:33 left in the 1st period. On the PP the Cougars went up 2-1 Seymour found the back of the net with a nifty pass from Pilling and O'Neill. On a slick play off the faceoff Pilling slid a pass over to Sinclair who quickly sent the puck to the back of the net. Halifax scored with 57 seconds left in the 2nd period to make the score 3-2.

In the third the action was back and forth and then with 3:39 remaining Halifax knotted the game at 3-3. Bresson made a fev saves to keep the game at 3-3. That set up the heroics for O'Neill and the 4-3 win. Bresson saved 32-35 shots to pick up the win. Both teams are back at it tomorrow morning at 11:15 at the Emera centre.
