Revelstoke and Cremona faced off in their standard season opening games this afternoon, with unsurprising results.
Revelstoke 5 @ Cremona 6 (OT)
Cremona sent wave after wave of offence at Revelstoke, and started off the scoring with Jack Hughes potting a powerplay goal. Despite firing 35 shots at Sorokin, the Mammoths were equal to the task, and it looked like it was all going the Mammoths' way, as the they climbed up to a 4-1 lead on goals by Raymond, Lehkonen, and two by Frost. However, the 3rd period proved that the Mammoths had no defence to speak of, and allowing Cremona back into the game. Svechnikov and Olofsson traded goals, but the monster Titan offence finally solved Sorokin with 3 more goals with 12 minutes left in the period. Overtime was all Titans, as Revelstoke never touched the puck right from the faceoff. With that said, the Mammoths somehow earned a point while on the road, despite being heavily outshot, 56 - 30 (15 IR to 10).
Cremona 4 @ Revelstoke 0
This score was much more like what had been envisioned during the off season, though Sorokin played heroically, stopping 11 of 15 quality chances. Really not much to say, Samsonov was sharp when he needed to, the second period was terrible for the Mammoths (4 shots, 1 in range), and Matheson was the only bright light, firing 7 shots including 4 in the 3rd period at Samsonov. Domi had a clear cut breakaway but failed to even hit the net, while Dahlin and were both pushed into the boards for minor injuries in the 3rd period. Revelstoke managed 30 shots, despite the 4 in the 3rd period, but Cremona took 62 shots on net. (15 IR to 4)
