The Blades, though, had their rough spots. "We went to sleep in the second peri od. Two of the goals they scored were weak. We played better in the third peri od." Blades' coach John McDonald knew games like this would come. `W e played a full 60 minutes in Milton last week. I told the players that when you play a full 60 minutes, every thing will work out." Coach McDonald was pleased with the team's work and penalties. "We like to cut down on the penal ties, but when we take penalties, we want them to be smart penalties. We don't want them to come in the other team's end." The Blades looked very sharp at times in the game, not giving up the puck on careless passes or plays. Every play had its pizzazz but was also smart. Coach McDonald singled out a cou ple of players, Stu MacCrimmon who nabbed player of the game honours with a hat-trick, Eugene Repa who broke out with two goals, and Jason Pinizzotto with good hitting and aggressiveness. Matt Violin had a strong game in goal as well with key saves throughout. After Repa opened the scoring for the Blades, a great passing play behind the Chargers' net by Bob Jaggard and Mike Tarantino enabled the puck to get in front where MacCrimmon wrapped around and slipped in his first goal of the night. Oakville carried the momentum in OAKVILLE 16 5 9 2 0 68 87 12 5.47 29.84 BRAMALEA 14 5 7 0 1 35 46 11 3.29 25.08 14 0 2 52 83 8 5.93 18.27 MISSISSAUGA 3 9 13.92 4 11 0 0 58 75 8 5.21 BUFFALO 15 · one point awarded fo r overtime loss NOTE: the Blades/Bujfalo Monday game does not reflect under the above goals against average (Avg) or penalty minutes (PIM) the first period, showing good control of the puck. Violin kept his team up by two with a great glove save on a wide open breakaway. Mississauga scored early in the sec ond period to make it 2-1. Shortly after, Gavin Milligan increased the lead to 31 after a cross-ice pass from Peter Lang. Chris Pethick added an assist. Under four minutes later, Mississauga closed the gap to 3-2 with a goal from Michael Oliveria. Oakville regained their two goal cushion, at 4-2, with another goal by MacCrimmon off a pass in from the comer. Oakville had the pressure on the Chargers throughout the whole second period. A power-play goal from Oliveria shrunk the lead 4-3, but Mike Lukajic once again bumped the lead to two goals (5-3) on a hard slap shot off passes from Chris Knighton and Rob Kapuscinski. With the Blades winning 5-3, going into the third period, Violin came up with another great save on a two on one, sprawled out on the ice. A couple more great saves were recorded by Violin. The Blades executed a picture per fect three-on-two with a give and go from Jason Sajko and Alex Hetmanczuk, then passing the puck to MacCrimmon, completing his threegoal performance to make it 6-3. A short-handed goal from Oliveria, giving him three on the night, pulled Mississauga back to 6-4, but it was their last gasp of the night. Repa then closed out the Blades scoring on a slapshot for the final 7-4 tally. Just to recap the Blades' scoring, it was MacCrimmon (3), Repa (2), Milligan and Lukajic. Assists went to Jaggard (2), Tarantino (2), Pethick (2), Lang, Knighton, Kapuscinski, Sajko, Hetmanczuk, Milligan and Adam Gower. Along with Oliveria's three goals, Mississauga got a goal from Marc Davidson. Assists went to William Hinks, Rob Codero, Craig Levey, and Adam Daly. Upcoming for the Blades is a home game on Friday night, 7:30 p.m. against the Mississauga Chargers at Ice Sports.

They could not extend their domi nation of the South Central AAA league to tournament com petition, however, as they bowed out after the first round of the Tim Hortons/Hamilton Reps AAA International Invitational Tournament with a 1-2 record. The Rangers began the month strongly, blanking the Stoney Creek Icebreakers 3-0 on Oct. 5 at Oakville Arena. Oakville broke open a scoreless tie after two periods with three unanswered breakaway goals by Conor Kelly (from Cory Martin and Carson Jenkin), Stephen Wheeler (from Ryan Badham and Zach Shepley) and David Dobrinsky (from Michael Maganja). Brad Wagner was solid in net, notching his first AAA shutout. The Hamilton tourney got off to a promising start on Oct. 8 with Oakville defeating Waterloo Tigers 21 in a tightly played contest. Scoring were Maganja (from John Davitsky) and Eric Murray (from James Albrecht and Kelly). The second game on Oct. 9, saw Oakville fall 5-2 to the Sudbury Lakers. Trailing 21 after two peri ods, the Rangers allowed three goals in the third. Dobrinsky (from Maganja and Davitsky) and Wheeler (from Thomas Karthaus and Badham) scored in the los ing cause. Things didn't get any easier for the Rangers on Oct. 10. They played hard but were ultimately defeated 6-4 by a powerful Detroit Honeybaked team. The game was a battle all the way. Oakville scored first and held a 4-3 lead with 10 min utes to play but couldn't hold off the hams from (Corn, to page D6) ARE Y O U THE G R DETECTIVE *1,000 IN PRIZES!
