Warriors create greasy road win

by Don Klepp | Added 2010-01-23

In a reversal of form compared to the previous night’s game in Vernon, the Westside Warriors were badly outplayed in the first period Saturday night, but prevailed for a 3-1 victory.

Kevin Jebson was the hero as he stopped 15 of 16 shots in the first period and 35 of 36 overall. He gave an indication of how ready he was to play when he stopped a Connor Jones net drive on the game’s first shift.

The real turning point in this game came when he held the fort during a two-minute 5 on 3 Viper power play. The Vipers peppered him with shots, several of which looked like certain goals but the combative 20-year old was unbeatable.

Later, at 7:42 Dylan Walchuk poked in a puck that was dribbling along the goal line after Steve Weinstein’s shot had hit the post.

Against the run of play, Westside equalized at 13:01. Trevor Bailey and Cam Reid took advantage of a Viper miscue to feed Cole Wilson, who shot and then knocked in the rebound.

Buoyed by being tied after being out shot 16-6 in the first period, the Warriors continued to sit back and wait for openings while checking closely. That strategy paid off with a goal in each period. In the second, Jason Nash got his first BCHL goal when his shot caromed off Vernon’s Adam Thompson past Graeme Gordon.

Despite3 being outshot 14-8 in the third, the Warriors scored their final goal when Trevor Bailey’s innocent shot from a bad angle trickled through Gordon’s pads.

Referee Andrew Guest called three Warrior penalties in the first period, but ignored all infractions in the second period. In the third, he called two sets of offsetting penalties and one Viper penalty that gave Westside a power play.
