Day 6 . . . second period

SECOND PERIOD:
The Calgary line of Jimmy Bubnick between Kris Foucault and Tyler Shattock has combined for 10 points and each is plus-4. . . . Foucault has two goals and two assists, Bubnick has a goal and three helpers, and Shattock has one of each. . . . The record for points in one Memorial Cup game is six, last accomplished by Mike Mathers of the Kamloops Blazers on May 16, 1992. It was first done by Joe Contini of the Hamilton Fincups on May 12, 1976, and later equalled by Guy Rouleau of the Hull Olympiques on May 16, 1985. . . . Unfortunately, Mathers was found dead in his bed at home in Edmonton on June 1, 2008. . . . The goaltenders still are Martin Jones and Jacob DeSerres. I’m thinking Andrew Hayes has played his last game as a Wheat Kings goaltender. He got yanked in Game 1, a 9-3 loss to the Windsor Spitfires on Friday. . . . There are some red seatback showing. Some fans must be getting an early start in the Manitoba Room. . . . Which is where Tom Cochrane will be on Saturday night. . . . The Wheat Kings have had a couple of early chances but just can’t control the puck in deep. . . . A lot of the fans have gold towels but there hasn’t been much waving. . . . Shattock almost scores and the Wheat Kings just can’t handle that line. . . . Former Moose Jaw Warriors GM Chad Lang is over there to my left. He’s been on that phone for a lot of this game. Hello, Brent? . . . Just kidding. Lang is working for the CHL here and from all reports is doing a bangup job as the director of hockey operations. . . . Awfully quiet in here. . . . the 50/50 pool is at $21,465. . . . Just got word that Toronto Maple Leafs D Luke Schenn is here. He is the older brother of Brandon F Brayden Schenn. . . . If you weren’t aware, Brayden Schenn and Jimmy Bubnick were linemates in the midget AAA ranks in Saskatoon. . . . The Wheat Kings think they’ve scored and so do some of the fans. Let’s go to video review. . . . One of the refs is talking to the goal judge. . . . There’s a replay on the clock. It’s close. . . . The call on the ice was no goal so there has to be conclusive evidence to overturn that. . . . It’s no goal. . . . Wheat Kings can’t buy a break. . . . There’s a mugging in front of the Calgary net. It might be time to deliver messages for Friday night. . . . Brandon F Brent Raedeke comes down the left wing and hits Jones in the logo. Jones will need a new logo when this one is over. . . . The Wheat Kings haven’t won nearly enough puck battles. . . . Brandon F Jay Fehr puts down Shattock and Calgary is going on the PP. . . . Bubnick, Foucault and Shattock are on the second PP unit. . . . There’s the buzzer. Calgary’s on the PP for three seconds to start the third. . . . It’s 5-1 after a ho-hum period. Shots are even at 24.
