continues to dominate the period but midway through It they ran Into some penalty problems of their own Daley put the Raiders on the board when he scored from Tonelli and Sturgeon Just past the halfway point the period The Raiders had the manpower advantage when the goal was scored Gordon tied the score at 32 when he tallied on another Raider power play Sturgeon was again the play As was the case in the first game the Raiders took con of the game with on excellent second period Kudrasovs the form that won him the south em division scoring title put the Raiders in front for the first time only into the second frame Only seconds later the line of Chase centring Daley and put the Raiders up by two Chase was on the end of an excel lent threeway passing play However as pretty as the goal was Bill Buck tons marker to notch the score for Port Elgin bettered it went up the right wing beat In alone on McDuffe waited til the last possible moment and Just as the went down he flipped it high It was the prettiest goal of the series thus far It appeared the period was going to end with the Raiders leading by one goal However late in the period Claude Fay went after the Raiders Doug Hesllp Hcsllp was not in the least bit Interested In an altercation and Just covered up and let bang his hand against his helmet Aside from sport a bloody hand from the altercation also receiv ed extra penalty me Haiders took age of the power play with only 4B seconds showing on the clock when Sturgeon beat Blair on a shot which was hard but fired from a bad angle According to Dandeno the Raiders gat of in this period and hod six very good scoring chances to Sunocos three Particularly strong on the was Scott McKenile who did not lose any of the six he took Blair made a couple of good saves off Terry Porter early in the third period but he was not called upon to do much else after that TUNNING SAVES It was strictly the Peter McDuffe Show The made several stunning saves but the best was off Port Elgin captain was in front of the net and apparently had the whole cage to fire at He directed the disc towards the open net and it appeared certain that It was going to be a game However McDuffe dove back In the net and stopped it from going in It was the biggest save of the game said Raider gen manager Jack Handy If they had scored there they would have had the momentum and probably at least forced overtime The Raiders took the only two penalties in the third period During both power plays the had good scoring chances but they could not beat When the final shots were tallied McDuffe stopped while Blair who was and took some abuse from the hometown fans stopped The game also marked the playoff debut of Sieve Blundy as the Raider coach dressed for the first period but he decided not to skate because of his injured leg To begin the second period Blundy was back in street clothes and behind the bench calling the shots showed the poten tial of becoming an excellent coach as his
