GSHL Saskatoon AA Update

The Saskatoon GSHL AA league got underway last week.  Here is some of the action that has taken place thus far.

Saskatoon Bandits 3 - Saskatoon Generals 2
The teams would trade goals in the first period with the Bandits opening up the scoring on a goal by Curtis Roach.  Just minutes later the Generals would be awarded a power-play in which speedy forward Lane Pederson would one time a hard slapper past the Bandits goalie to give them a 1-1 tie after the first period.  The Bandits would pull out ahead once again early in the 2nd as Colton Holmes would put one past goalie Hartley 5-hole.  The teams would trade good chances for most of the 2nd period until the Generals would once again tie it up as Carter Allison took the pass from Ben Abrook and tie it at 2.  The game would stay tied until the last minute of the game when Bandits forward Matt Lukash would bang home a rebound for the 3-2 victory in a very good opening GSHL contest.  The Bandits would outshoot the Generals 27-19 in the game.

Saskatoon Outlaws 3 - Saskatoon Generals 2
De Ja Vu!  This game would once again go to the final minute and the Generals hearts get broken once again!  The Outlaws would score early in the period (missed the goal) but late in the first period Lane Pederson would fire home a PP goal to knot the game at 1's after 1.  The Outlaws would once again take the lead early in the 2nd as 98 born star Garrett Pilon would give a beauty of a pass to D-Dustin Perillat who blasted a shot from the blue-line.  The Generals again as has been the case all season so far would answer back with a goal from Carter Allison with Lane Pederson supplying the feed.  For the remainder of the game goalie Swystun for the Generals would make several HUGE saves as the Outlaws would pepper the Generals, including an 11-1 shots lead in the 3rd period.  Garrett Pilon would finally solve Swystun in the 3rd period in the final minute to hand the Generals another heart breaking loss.  The Outlaws outshot the Generals 36-21.
