Sabres reversed the situation for a win against Milton and on Saturday night the local club gave the second place team a run for their money in a 31 decision In favor of the Blades Again we had a lot of trouble getting the puck into the opponent net said Buchanan The boys played a great game against Oakvllle and considering were playing a team that has chalked up goals In their last three games I think we did welt to hold them to three goals concluded Buchanan Clint Watts opened the Sabres scoring drive against Thornhill Monday night with assists from Rick Chapman and Rick Dodds at 1 in the first period then rallied at 11 and 17 to take a lead at the end of the first period As the second period opened the Toros grabbed a quick short handed goal at 1 to Increase their lead by two markers

four markers behind However the Sabres refused to accept defeat and again the lead was narrowed when Vince Paradise assisted by Mark and Scott Kennedy blasted Ihe puck past tho Thomhlll goalie Although counting six penalties in the third period the Sabres managed to take advantage of two to come within one goal of the opposition assisted by Barratt and nailed the fourth Acton marker and Ken Kavanagh assisted by Randy Covcrdale and Denis Kirton managed the final Acton goal of the In the Sabres match against Milton the local squad reaffirmed the fact they are not going to settle for last place In the league There was no doubt throughout the entire match that Acton dominated the game and they deserved the much needed win The Milton gome obviously hinged on staying out of the penalty box as eight of the 11 goals scored In the match came on Milton was the first to capitalize on a one man advantage to open the scoring at In the first period but moments later the Sabres found themselves even assisted by Barratt and Paradise was credited with the goal At with the Sabres down a man in the penalty box again the Steamers rushed to take another one goal lead Then at 10 the Sabres tied up the game with their only marker of the match that wasnt on a powerplay Brian Demone assisted by Kennedy and Roy Spear one of the Sabres newest acquisitions peppered the Milton with numerous shots until the puck slithered over the Milton goal line The Steamers managed one more marker in the first period to send the Acton squad into the second period of the game facing a one goal disadvantage The Steamers failed to add to their lead throughout the second period but the Sabres taking advantage of another power play tied up the game for the third time Demone racking up his second marker of the night was assisted by Spear and Symes for the much needed goal and It was a tie gome going into the third period Deciding not to take any chances the Sabres started their third period rally at 1 with a goal by Symes with an assist by Kennedy Sticking to their game plan and staying out of the penalty box the Sabres broke up many Milton rushes and although two goals by Milton at and almost cost Acton the game was assisted by Coverdale and Brad and was assisted by and Symes Spear played a tremendous game for us said Buchanan and because the boys stuck to the game plan we kept the Steamers bom following theirs Hard work and good paid of f the match Saturday the Sabres showed improvement unequalled anywhere in the Central Junior league While the Blades have humiliated four teams In their past four games they found stiff competition against the Sabres fa the flrtt parted fa two goals at and two goal advantage that they held for most of the match The local club surprised the hometown spectators by holding off the second place club on many of their plays during the second period and even dominating the game times Acton goalie Rick Landry played a fan game in net and at one point facing a two on one situation robbed the Blades of a fourth goal As well Spear proved himself In strum en In the game as he shook up several Oakvllle players with devastating checks and an incredibly long reach left several marauding Blades without a puck to shoot The Blades final goat of the evening come early in the third period and then Acton grabbed their chance to on scoreboard Coverdale assisted by rushed two on one on the Blades goal crossed the blue line and let go a shot that was over the goalie shoulder into the net before Oakvllle knew what hit them Unfortunately a strong team effort by kept any more Acton goals from accumulating and the final result was a 1 decision for Oakvllle Buchanan commented after the game that the Sabres are still eyeing
