ROYALS HUMILIATE THE KINGS.
Published 2008-02-22
The Temiscaming Royals started off the first game of the GMHL playoffs the same way they finished the regular season, scoring goals. The visiting Espanola Kings were no match for the locals tonight as the home team shutout the Kings by the score of 8 -0 in front of a home crowd of 378.
Guillaume Piche earned the shutout stopping all 22 shots he faced. The King's Shayne Buckley must have wondered where the defense was, as he faced 64 shots.
The Royals got scoring from every line; Tim Revell (2), Marc Desgagne, Chris Hebert, Chris Fraser, Brandon Blanche, Shane Desrochers and Cedric Boutin were the marksman tonight. Six of the Royals goals were scored on the power play and one was shorthanded.
A total of over 120 minutes were handed out, with the Kings taking over 70 minutes.
Game #2 of this seven(7) game series is friday night 8:30pm at the Centre.
Game #3 Saturday in Wikwemeekon and game #4 in Espanola next tuesday.
