If everything went the way you talk about it and describe and yes even practice it games wouldn’t need to be played. But the funny thing is; probably no one practices mistakes and they happen a lot.

Forty seconds into the Hurricanes first power play Jordan Messenger (Mann, Baker) put the Hurricanes up one with 9:24 left in the first. About six minutes later, Bedford scored Isnor (Jardine) after a shot taken very high in the goaltending gear of Peterson got a favorable bounce to the open Barons player. The first period would not close out though until the Hurricanes could respond as Morgan Messenger (Jollimore, Nauss) again sent the hometown fans cheering and put the Hurricanes back on top.

As the Hurricanes battled against injuries in the defense group the Bedford Barons took advantage of a drop off in Hurricane pressure and found the equalizer on a quick tip in front from a corner pass Bruce (Robertson, MacLean). Heading to the intermission tied at 2 was not really the game plan no matter how you draw it up.

After a commitment to the defensive side of the puck and the promise of a more consistent and relentless pursuit of the puck was made by the Hurricane players, the third period would be their chance to put up or … well you get the idea.

“Two different teams” were comments heard after the game from one fan in Barrington as the Hurricanes needed only one which they got from Cooke (Shatford, Benight) less than three minutes into the third to clinch the victory. The remainder of the way saw the Hurricanes getting back to their systems. As a result they only allowed  five shots to the seventeen they fired at the Barons goaltender who made a few highlight reel saves to keep the Hurricanes from breaking it wide open. You can talk all you want but it is better to say “Well Done than well said” and your BMO Hurricanes showed they can back it up when they need it. BMO Hurricanes 3 Bedford Barons 2.
