Game 77 - Mississauga Hounds vs. Ottawa Lynx

The Victory Hockey League Minors' battle of Ontario happened a while ago. If you think about it, a hound and a lynx are like a cat and a dog, so this was simply a meant to be rivalry that hasn't actually become a rivalry. Anyways, the action started and Mississauga were quick to score 5 minutes and 23 seconds into the game. Longtime Hounds veteran B-MIS C3 scored their first goal of the season which was assisted by B-MIS C4 (no relation) and B-MIS D10 (also no relation), who each had their first assists of the season. That was all the action in the first period. Then the second period began and there was plenty of action to enjoy. The first half of the frame was quiet with neither team able to pot the puck. Then, just past the midway point James MacAvoy scored a goal for the Hounds, giving them a 2 goal lead. James wasn't satisfied with one goal and decided to score another one for good measure, this time past the 12 minute mark. Alonzo Fineski scored his third goal of the season for the Hounds to further add to the onslaught. The Lynx eventually got on the board courtey of Ivan Ivanov. Down 4-1, the Lynx looked for a way to comeback despite the score. Teams have come back from worse and they had an entire period to get back on track and make it happen. One of the first steps was to have a good start. They went into the third period and not only missed that first step but fell down the staircase for good measure. Joseph Dubois crushed any hopes of a comeback with an 18 second goal followed by an Erik Finck II power play go a minute and a half later.
