Oakville Beaver staff Byv TOM MICHIBATA Ben Davis or being shorthanded. Those are the two poisons opposing teams get to choose from when they play the Caledon Canadians. Unfortunately for the Oakville Blades, they went one step further and chose all of the above. And that combination proved absolutely lethal in their dismissal from the Central Ontario Junior A Hockey League playoffs, Sunday. i VD'a\"is and Co. bounced the Blades 7â€"5 and took the bestâ€"ofâ€"five West Division quarterâ€"final set 3â€"1 before a crowd of about 350 at Oakville Arena. Blades opened the series with a 2â€"1 doubleâ€"overtime win in Bolton last Thursday but the Canadians roared back to take games two and three by identical 5â€"4 scoresâ€" Friday at Oakville Arena and Saturday in overtime in Bolton â€"to set the stage for Sunday. While the Blades can certainly take consolation in knowing they were better than Caledon in evenâ€"man situations, they are still watching from Iâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"‘“i the sidelines while Caledon moves on to the «+ Youthful Blades look | next series against Brampton. ahead to next season * Of Caledon‘s 17 goals over the last three Page 20 games, 11 came on the powerâ€"play. > On Friday, Anthony Aversa took a checkâ€" ingâ€"fromâ€"behind penalty late in regulation time with the score tied. With the advantage, Mr. Davis promptly notched the gameâ€"winner. On Saturday, the Blades held a 4â€"2 lead late in regulation time but a powerâ€"play goal by Jeff Harper with 3:14 remaining closed the gap. Blades defenceman Sandy Sajko accidentally knocked the puck in his own net less than a minute later, sending the game into overtime, where Jody Spagnol notched the cameâ€"winner. Blades bounced from the playoffs Then on Sunday, a whopping five of the Canadians‘ seven scores came on the powerâ€"play. That included two in less than a minute in the first periâ€" od, giving the visitors a 3â€"1 lead and putting Oakville into a hole from which it never could climb out.

A 119â€"point scorer in 46 games during the regular season, he had three goals eight assists over the last three games â€" and was a pain even when not scoring. "What they do (on the powerâ€"play) is plain and simple," sighed Blades coach Greg Ireland. "They put three big guys in front of the net which allows their defence to pop down low. It‘s hard to cover." Ireland stressed to the players the importance of specialty teams and staying away from penalties going into and throughout the series. But, being younger than the veteran Caledon outfit, Blades players often lost their heads by retaliating to the Canadians‘ goading. "We stressed that, fiveâ€"onâ€"five, we‘re a better team than they are said. "The guys got a little wound up the last three games. They were tle nervous, lost their composure and took penalties they didn‘t to...This series should have been over in three straight (for Oakville)." Besides Davis‘ pair, Justin Lund, Julien Dalcin, Tom Wilson, Spagnol and Harper also scored for Caledon Sunday. Blades had four power play goals of their own (by Mike Roberts, Matt Interbartolo, Justin Ball and Sajko), with Dan Delmonte adding the other goal. Claudio Orlando, with two, Gord Burbidge, Wayne Kelly had the other Caledon scores Friday Roberts (2), Anthony Aversa and Kent Williams connected for Oakville. x < 1 108 Curling club calling on 1¢ft SEY pripantanatiments will be the rule Leftâ€"handed handshakes ar when Oakville Curling Club Curling Championships, Apo Some 64 teams are CXPS world‘s only bonspiel for left the 14th for women.
