The mood in the Terrier鈥檚 locker room was electric after Melville went down in flames 鈥� a second time -- to Yorkton.
Hot on the heels of Melville鈥檚 humiliating loss to the Terriers on their own turf, the Millionaires were out for blood. Determined not to be denied, Melville sought revenge against Yorkton Saturday night at the Farrell Agencies arena.
They didn鈥檛 get it.
The Terriers played stellar defense, closing the gap that befell them much of the season. Ultimately, Melville fell spectacularly to the Terriers in overtime 鈥� a satisfying 4-3 win for Yorkton.
In the first period, Melville鈥檚 Shewchuck took a goal, but Yorkton tied it up with a powerplay, Mullaney putting it into the Millionaire鈥檚 net.
Yorkton had a two man advantage with Klatt taking the Terrier鈥檚 second goal of the night. Sullivan shot another right in the net, giving a 3-1 advantage.
Melville tied it up shortly after with two goals, one on a powerplay, ramping up the tension in the arena. The final tiebreaking goal was put in quickly by Klatt in overtime 鈥� with the Terriers playing the final period as if they were on a powerplay.
A jubliant Coach Mat Hehr agreed.
鈥淵eah. I was happy with our performance kind of for the full 60. In the second period, we had kind of slumps,鈥� said Hehr.
鈥淚 thought we really took it to them in the third; we were throwing pucks on net, but Colby and Klatt had a great game. Brendan Klatt drove the net hard. He just wasn鈥檛 going to be denied, and a beautiful pass by Brendan Mark.鈥�
