On Masters Sunday, Bresson was MASTERful in a 3-2 win over Halifax.
Veteran Owen Bresson led the Cougars to a 4 pt weekend when he kicked out 46 of 48 shots on Sunday and 32 of 35 on Saturday. On Sunday the Cougars were in penalty trouble early and gave Halifax 6 power plays throughout the game. Our penaly kill did not allow a goal, plus they scored a shorted goal in the 3rd period to tie the game and send it to overtime.
After falling behind 1-0 in the 2nd, Young scored 56 seconds later to tie the game at 1-1. Clarke picked up an assist. After falling behind 2-1 in the 1st minute of the 3rd, Saturday night's hero O'Neill scored a short-handed goal to tie the score 2-2. Sinclair and Brown picked up an apple each on the play. The play went back and forth for the final 10 minutes, but neither team could end it.
In O/T Clarke played the hero when he stole a puck deep in the Halifax endzone and made no mistake as he deked the goaltender and slid the puck into the net. After this weekend the Cougars sit at 7-3 for the year, good for 3rd place in the standings. Next weekend the Cougars are on the road to play the Wearwell Bombers on Saturday and The Nova's on Sunday.
