Trip to Gladwin

On Saturday December 18th Mt. Pleasant traveled north to take on the Mid Michigan Storm in Gladwin.

The game was a very physical game and Mt. Pleasant played a very disciplined game only being assessed two minor penalties while The Storm were tagged with seven penalties.

The scoring opened up in the second period with a an un-assisted breakaway for the Storm to put them out to a 1-0 lead. However the Oilers answered quickly as they took advantage of a cross checking penalty and scored just seven seconds in to the power play as Senior Josh Watters took a pass from Senior Ryan Heeke and buried it in the net to tie the game at 1.

The Storm opened the third period with two goals just 30 seconds apart and put the Oilers quickly back on their heals. Mt. Pleasant regrouped and Sophomore Danny Pulver stole the puck, skated up ice and hit Sophomore Nick Coscarelly with a nifty pass and Coscarelly scored to pull the Oilers within one.

The Oilers out shot the Storm in the remaining ten minutes of the third period but were unable to get one past Mid Michigan's goalie and fell to the Storm 3-2. Junior Goalie Derek D'Artangnan made 24 saves in the loss and the Oilers record fell to 2-4.

The Oilers look forward to the rematch with the Storm at their barn on Friday February 18th.
