On Sunday, adversity came in the form of a late first period faceoff and two breakaways a few seconds apart early in the second period. period. All three resulted in goals by the Ottawa 67's, who skated off with a 4-2 win at the Civic Auditorium. "The mistakes we're making are very costly mistakes mistakes right now'." says Generals' Generals' coach/GM George Burnett, whose club has now won just once in the past 14 outings. "We're having a tough time picking ourselves up off the mat right now." The faceoff goal clearly turned the tide of the game. Leading 2-1 thanks to power-play goals from recently recently acquired centre Clay McFadden (3rd) and defenceman defenceman Chris Petrow (1st), the Generals called upon their top faceoff man, captain Tobias Whelan, for a draw' in Oshawa's zone with just under three seconds left on the clock. Already owning a 5-on-3 man advantage, the 67's sent out an extra attacker for goalie Lukas Mensator and watched Matthew Albiani win a clean draw back to Corey Locke, who buried a shot just under the crossbar past Ryan Gibb with less than a second remaining. "Obviously their goal at the end of the first period probably set us back a little bit. but w'c need to respond to that," says Burnett. "It's 2- 2 and we played a pretty solid period." Instead it wais the 67's who responded, in remarkable remarkable fashion, as Jeremy Ake- son and Greg Goodnough took turns setting the other up for breakaway goals 14 seconds apart early in the middle frame. Mensator. who made 35 saves in the game, barred the door from there. Gibb also played well, as many of his 23 stops were difficult. The Generals were dealt another blow' when leftwinger leftwinger Adam Berli left the game in the first period with possible kidney stones. Berti, w'ho missed most of his rookie season a year ago with knee problems, has 5- 5-10 numbers in 18 games this season.
