Game 19
Wisborg Donuts 5 Calgary Chinook 1
Chinook Special Teams Crash in Ugly Loss
CALGARY - The Wisborg Donuts converted on the power play four different times and Leon Draisaitl and Kasperi Kapanen scored 2 goals each as the Calgary Chinook fell, 5-1, to the Donuts on Thursday night in front of the disappointed home crowd at Scotiabank Saddledome.
"It was average at best," Eugene Yip said. "The 5-on-5 play I thought was OK. OK, a lot of nights, doesn't win. At the end of the day, you go to the penalty box as much as we did, we'll lose the game. It cost us tonight." "They took it to us from start to finish," Chinook winger Matthew Tkachuk said.
"They played like a team with nothing to lose. They are well-coached. I'm sure Donuts Head Coach Johan Kallum had them fired up over there to come in here and play a good game and we didn't match it." The Chinook will now have little time to regroup as they have a date with the
Thunder Saturday evening in Niagara Falls. "We have to address it," Carlson said of the result. "It's a quick turnaround with Saturday’s game, but we'll definitely address this. We're a pretty honest group and we know that wasn't good enough." "It's a huge game tomorrow," Giordano said. "Everybody knows that. It's a great opportunity for us to bounce back. We will do what we have to do to get our minds right and get away from that hockey game and get back to playing Chinook hockey
because that wasn't it."
