Well the Otters finished the regular season in fine shape, with Devin getting the final two wins. He also, in conjunction with the starting goalie, won the Dave Pickney trophy for least amount of goals scored in a season, a franchise record. Round one of the playoffs found us playing against Saginaw, which we wanted, that way we would be able to attend more games. Lo and behold, coach started Devin in the playoffs, we were surprised and elated. The first two games were in Erie and we took them both 4-3, the second game going into overtime. The third game was in Saginaw and, though Devin was told he would be in net, the night before the game they informed him they were playing the starter. After allowing 5 goals on 20 shots, with the game tied at 5, they put Devin in. This game too went into OT; however, we lost and the series was 2-1. Wednesday found Devin back in net and we won that game 7-3. Thursday was the game to end it and what a game it was. Tied 2-2 with Devin keeping the team in the game with three incredible saves, we again go to overtime. We end up winning and the series was over. Now the team will face off against SSM and the Soo will have home ice advantage. Excited for the 2nd round.
