PAGE 14THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, OCTOBER 31,2001 Generals finish strong after playing three games in three nights BY BRIAN LEGREE Sta ff Editor OSHAWA - One win, two losses equals .500 hockey. That's how the math shook down for the Oshawa Generals last weekend, following Sunday's Sunday's 5-1 dismantling of the Peterborough Petes before 2,877 at the Civic Auditorium. Combined with a 4-2 loss in Owen Sound Saturday and Friday's Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to Eric at home, the Generals mustered three of a possible six points. "I'm pleased to finish off a tough week as strong as we did," said Oshawa coach and general manager George Burnett. Burnett. "I think our guys dealt with some adversity and some travel and tired legs and found a way to get the job done. It's a good feeling to beat your No. 1 rival." The weekend included a few firsts for the Generals, some good, some bad: • rookie Jordan Bcirncs scored his first goal of the season season on a nifty drive to the net against Peterborough; • rookie goalie Kevin Druce got his first start of the season, turning aside 37 shots and surrendering surrendering three goals against Owen Sound before the Attack rounded out the scoring with an empty-nettcr; • after five straight wins at home, the Generals suffered their first setback at the Civic Friday; • the Generals also sustained their first significant injury of the season, as Richard Spence suffered a separated shoulder in Owen Sound. He could be sidelined sidelined 3-4 weeks, Burnett says. The Generals return to action action tonight, travelling to Belleville for a 7:05 p.m. start against the Bulls.
