Sharks can’t bury chances in game 2 loss to Bears
It seemed they did just about everything right: they played aggressively, drew countless penalties, and generated plenty of scoring chances.
The only problem for the Battlefords AAA Sharks in game two of their opening round Saskatchewan Female AAA Hockey League against the Prince Albert Northern Bears was they couldn’t score, and their power play went 0-for-11.
In playoff hockey, the final score is all that matters, and after the Sharks fell 2-1 at Battleford Arena on Wednesday, they now face elimination heading back to P.A. for game three on Friday.
“There’s some games that happen where you’re the better team and you don’t win; well that was tonight,” Sharks head coach Gary Berggren said after the tough loss. “We had so many scoring chances. We just couldn’t put the puck in the net. Their goalie [Lexi Beuker] played great but we really needed to bury some of those chances.”
