This seemed to spark the Kings as they began skating and intimidating the smailer Centennials. Too often the Cents were leary about going into the corner to dig or a puck, they would fire a pass as soon as they received one .and almost continually dumped the puck into the Kings zone and not chasing. after the play. At the 19:54-mark Cent _Carmon Brown was sent off | for slashing, One minute later Gillespie fed Gord Stephens in the slot, who madeno mistake in beating Prive.

Although Hodgins, Levie, Prive and McCabe gave good efforts and played a.steady game; it takes more than four to win a hockey game. The biggest problem with the Cents right test. (Dale Drea Photo) now is that too many players are coasting.. L'Estrange commented on the igck of back-checking and good two-way play, saying that the guys seem to know haw to go forward but have trou le getting back into the play.
