Prior to last nights series opener, Simcoe forward Zane Nielly had been qouted in the Woodstock Sentinel Review slaging Norwich as not half as good as Simcoe, after last night he might be eating those words after Norwich`s 5-2 win in Norwich. Simcoe opened the scoring just over 2 minutes into the game when Jordan Paton took a nice pass and wristed it past Norwich goalie Matt McGonigle. Chad Barclay would tie the game at 9:47 of the first knocking in a loose puck past Simcoe goalie Chris Lee. Norwich outshot Simcoe 19-16 in the first period.
Norwich played a much better in the second, Kris Krouluski would put Norwich up 2-1 at the 1:40 mark of the second on a powerplay. Addison Fisher would put Norwich up 2 goals at 4:25. Norwich would make it 4-1 less than 2 minutes later when Chad Barclay banged a loose puck past Lee, Curtis Logan scored Norwich's 5th goal on a powerplay with just over a minute left in the second, however Simcoe was quick to respond as Jordan Paton would make it 5-2 on a powerplay goal with a second left in the period. Norwich outshot Simcoe 12-6 in the second period.
The third period was uneventful as neither team scored, Norwich outshot Simcoe 10-6 in the third and 41-28 for the game. Matt McGonigle stopped 26 shots while earning his 3rd win of the '10 playoffs.
Game 2 goes Sunday night in Simcoe at 7pm, Game 3 is Tuesday night in Simcoe at 7:30pm, Game 4 goes Friday night in Norwich at 8 pm.
