looking pretty good for the Spitfires right now

they are pretty much an allstar team
Hall, Henrique, Ellis, Fowler, Cundari... hell, even little Wellwood is a heck of a player.

The Hitmen might have something to say about that.

Then again, they might not

Then again, they might not

It was a close game after 40 minutes (Spitfires 3-2 after two), but a defensive gaffe 12 seconds into the 3rd period to the wrong guy (Taylor Hall) restored a two goal advantage and that for all intents and purposes was the game.

Goodbye Willdcats (Spitfires complete the round-robin with an unblemished record) with a 4-3 OT win tonight.

that's going to be a dandy 3rd period.
Brandon in full control of that 2nd.

Oh boy, wicked bounce off the end boards somehow ends up in the Brandon net. 4-4 tie.
