NAUSS TIM-BR MART LUMBERJACKS LET ONE GET AWAY
The Nauss Tim-Br Mart Lumberjacks began their tough three games in three nights road trip in Dieppe on Thursday night. Mike Snow's power-play goal early in the third period put the Lumberjacks up 3-2. The Commandos captilaized on a Tony Pisano penalty, mid way through the third period, to tie the game at three and shortly after scored the go ahead goal when a Phlip Wright save bounced off a Dieppe player into the net. Dieppe outshot the Lumberjacks 42-36 and held a 16-9 third period advantage. Mitchell Hare and Scott Theriault scored the other Lumberjacks goals. The next stop for the Lumberjacks is Friday night in Woodstock when they tangle with the Meek Division second place team.
PISANO ENDS OVERTIME DROUGHT WITH LUMBERJACKS WINNER
The Halifax Lions roared out of the gate in Saturday's Showcase game vs the Nauss Tim-Br Mart Lumberjacks and lead 1-0 after one period. The Lions outshot the Jacks 21-11 in that period. The dressing room "talk" resulted in a different Lumberjacks team in the second as they jumped out to a 7-1 shots on goal advantage and kept the pressure on until Mickey MacDonald scored, on the powerplay. Both Kody Blois (Halifax) and Travis Hall (Lumberjacks) were solid in their respective nets and the game went to overtime. For Lumberjacks fans there was an uneasy feeling as overtime has been unkind to them so far in the season. But it was joy in Jacks land as defenceman Tony Pisano scored on a shot from the point 1:09 into the five minute overtime frame to earn the win. Travis Hall was named star number 2 and Pisano was rewarded for his overtime winner by being named star number 1. The Lumberjacks return home to prepare for a tough weekend upcoming when they play three games on the road in three days. They begin Thursday night in Dieppe, move to Woodstock for a Friday night tilt and close it off with a Saturday game in Truro.
