First goal boosts Barons to semifinal series win over Napanee Raiders
Article content A goal that was scored with nearly 40 minutes still left to play was being called the game's most important one as the Napanee Raiders and Hanover Barons clashed Thursday night in Game 7 of their Provincial Junior Hockey League semifinal. Article content Coming only 40 seconds into the second period on a power play, the tally snapped a scoreless tie and gave the Barons just the boost they needed to down the home-ice Raiders — despite there being almost two full periods (39:20) remaining. Article content Article content The teams traded the next two goals of the middle frame, leaving Hanover with a 2-1 lead, and then the visitors outscored the Raiders 3-1 in the third (including an empty-net goal) to capture the game, 5-2, and the best-of-seven series, 4-3. Article content 'They are a hard team to play against when you have to open up and let your guard down defensively to push for more offence. We tried to continue to come back with offensive pushes, but they continually answered, and that is what good teams do this time of year.' Article content Barons star forward Mark McIntosh, who chalked up four points (two goals, two assists) in the game for a series-high total of 15 points (seven goals, eight assists), netted the momentum-generating first marker and then drew an assist on Kyle Maloney's goal at 13:02. Napanee's Blake Aylesworth, at 16:27, narrowed the gap to 2-1. Article content Article content To lead off the third period, McIntosh, a 21-year-old from Elora who paced the Barons in the regular season with a 28-44-72 scoring line and enters the PJHL final with a league-high post-season scoring line of 23-31-54, scored on a power play at 7:07. He was followed 53 seconds later by Napanee's Trent Williams, making the score 3-2 in Hanover's favour. Article content Hagerman was proud of the way his team played during the regular season and playoffs. Article content 'Yeah, this was a close-knit group that came together after the Christmas break like I have never seen before,' he said. 'They never let adversity get them down. They constantly just worked and put the team first day after day. This was a special group that I hope made the community proud.' Article content Napanee entered the break (Dec. 23 to Jan. 1) in third place in Tod Division standings, seven points back of the eventual pennant-winning Frankford Huskies. The Raiders went 13-1-1 the rest of the way to finish second, just two points behind Frankford and 10 ahead of the No. 3 Amherstview Jets.

Article content Consider the following that occurred during Napanee's 5-4 home-ice overtime win over the Hanover Barons that lifted the Raiders into a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-seven semifinal: Article content Article content • To ramp up the excitement early, the teams combined for five first-period goals (three by Napanee, two by Hanover) — the most in any single period of the series to date; Article content Article content • The lead changed hands four times — Napanee which held the first lead, 1-0, also went ahead 3-2 and 5-4, while Hanover took 2-1 and 4-3 leads; Article content • The Raiders' strategy of pulling goaltender Logan Vale for an extra attacker was successful, as Carter Hartwick tied the game 4-4 at 18:57 of the third period; Article content • Michael Patrick scored just 19 seconds into sudden-death overtime to give Napanee the win. Article content Patrick also added a pair of first-period assists for a three-point game.

Article content Napanee head coach Ben Hagerman was, not surprisingly, more than happy with the Raiders' performance. Article content 'It was the first time we were able to generate a little more space for ourselves, getting to loose pucks and scoring on some rebound chances that hadn't been there before,' Hagerman said. 'Unfortunately, we took a four-minute double minor in the first period and they were able to get two goals on it, but we felt otherwise we controlled the play. The game was very back and forth overall. They really pressed in the second period and put us on our heels taking the lead, but we came out with a stronger third.'
