This week is an abbreviated and late update as I cruise the Caribbean on Celebrity Reflection. No stats pack this week, sorry Tobbs

Game 1: Knights 6, Red Wings 4

Game one was evenly matched through two periods before the Knights pulled away late. Marc Salatino opened the scoring for the Knights, with Greg Kelly quickly answering for the Red Wings. Vince Bakshani gave the Knights a brief edge before Robbie Moore tied it up in the final seconds of the first. The Wings outshot the Knights 14-9, but the scoreboard stayed even.

The second period followed a similar script—Barry Danckert scored for the Knights, and Kelly responded again, completing the kind of quiet two-goal night that usually gets overlooked unless someone’s counting.

The third was where things came apart for the Red Wings. Salatino notched his second, and Lonny Weakland buried two goals, including an empty-netter that sealed it. Moore added a meaningless stat stuffer goal in the final minute for the Red Wings. Despite a 42-28 advantage in shots, the Wings were denied by Paul Gwyn, who was solid throughout for the Knights.

Game 2: Stars 5, TechniPower 2

Game two started early—specifically, 50 seconds in when Mike Legros took a roughing penalty that must be leftover anger from his championship loss. Dan Costa opened the scoring for the Stars, who controlled the period and outshot TechniPower 14-5.

The second period followed the trend. Goals from Aaron Wood, Brad Graf, and a second from Costa put the Stars firmly in control. Robin Staveley gave TechniPower some life with a goal in the final seconds, but the 4-1 score after two felt about right.

John Knudsen closed the gap early in the third, but any chance of a comeback ended with Steve Woods’ goal with five minutes left. Final score: 5-2. Final shots: 41-21 Stars. The goaltending from Scott Anderson and Martin Cizek was solid on both ends, but the Stars were simply better start to finish.
