Dogs Go Down in OT

  Niagara will head into Oshawa tonight to take on the General in the second game of a home and home. I know a lot of people may be disappointed with lat nights 3-2 loss in overtime, but I think there were some positives that came out of that game. First, the team got down 2-0 and battled back. Young teams sometimes make more mistakes trying to take chances and get back in the game. The Dogs stayed patient and stayed with the game plan. Mathew Sisca showed he's ready to take the next step and be a guy that Mario Cichillo can count on. Overager Matt Piva, Thomas Middup and Andrew Agozzino all had strong games. As for the young defense, they had some growing pains last night but overall they played well as a group. It was nice to see Drew Schiestel back in Niagara. I don't know that I have ever seen him log so many minutes in a game before. As for the goaltending, everyone will remember the last goal that went in, but keep in mind he did stop 28 of 31 shots on goal against an offensively talented hockey team. As the season goes on and he gets more comfortable I think Mark will be just fine. 

  If you can't make it down to the arena, you can catch all the games this weekend on TV Cogeco or on the OHL Action Pak.
