With the extra game of the series going to Napanee, it was important for Bowmanville to establish a victory victory in Friday's opener, said coach Mark Watson. "I don't think either team really came out flying tonight," he said of Friday's 4-2 win. "You'll find that both teams will need some emotion to get going in this series." Much of Friday's game did resemble resemble a heavyweight prize fight, with neither team wanting to show the other much in the way of their capabilities.
