CC came out like gangbusters in the first outshooting the Calgary
dinosaurs 18 - 7 in a period that was even more one sided than the
stot total indicated. Unfortunately, they only came away with a 1 goal
lead.  Freshman sensation Toby Petersen started the season and his
career with a beautiful waist high shot off a feed from the bottom of
the circle by Scott Swanson just before the five minute mark.  Chad
Hartnell opened the margin to 2 just before the midway mark off a
rebound during the first CC power play.  CC was buzzing with several
quality shots and a crossbar, but they did not score any more.
Calgary cut the lead in half on a score ffom in close by an unmolested
Jason Kryulak on a power play with just over a minute left.
 
In the second, Calgary stepped it up and scored three times to take a
2 goal lead into the second intermission.  CC did not look as crisp.
 
The tigers made it interesting in the third when Aaron Karpan gtrabbed
a loose puck in deep and slid it past the calgary netminder in the
fourth minute.  The crowd was into it, but calgary iced the victory by
going up by 2 again 2 and a half minutes before it ended.
 
The full box has been posted to the info-list thanks to the CC SID
Dave Moross who copied it onto a floppy for me.
 
It was a rough night for the officials as linesman Tim Swiador took a
stick in the face and received a gash over his left eye.  In the
third, Referee Don Adam got crunched and went to the ice necessitating
a visit from the trainers.
