Dogs 2 Mills 2

The Dogs snapped their losing streak at five, but they are now winless in six after a 2-2 tie with the Millionaires in Quesnel.

Quesnel took a 1-0 lead on a tip in on their second straight powerplay to open the game in the first. Colton Sobchak tied it at 1-1 as he picked off a pass up the middle and walked in on Bryton Udy and beat him glove side. It would be 2-1 Dogs late in the period when Sobchak scored his second of the game on a set up by Sam Mitchell and Casey Bailey as he ripped a one-timer home from the high slot.

The Millionaires tied it at 2-2 with the only goal of the second just over three minutes in as Frank Slubowski made the first two saves but didn't get any help and the third chance was knocked home.

That would do it for the scoring as neither team found the net through the remainder of the second period, third period, or the 1st or 2nd overtime as each team had their chances in OT but no one could find the net.

One night after having an awful call go against them in Prince George to give the Kings a penalty shot to win the game the Dogs had a no call go against them tonight in Quesnel as Tanner Hicks took a blow to the head in double OT that went uncalled. So much for the crackdown on hits such as this.

The hit would open a considerable gash on Hicks' head. As I type this we are awaiting a Doctor to arrive at the Hospital in Quesnel to close the gash. The Dogs had hoped to make the first Ferry home, but that is up in the air now.

No further update on Hicks is available.

The Dogs out shot the Mills 29-28 and went 0 for 1 on the powerplay while the Mills went 1 for 4.

The point is a big one for the Dogs, as they are a point up now on the Cowichan Valley Capitals for 6th in the Conference, and 3 points up on the Coquitlam Express who are on the outside of the playoff picture and looking in after a 6-5 loss at home to Nanaimo.

Next up is "Around the Pound" tomorrow night on 93.3 The Peak FM from 6pm to 7pm. The BCHL trade deadline is also 6pm tomorrow so it could be an interesting show.

The Dogs are finally done a franchise record 9 straight games away from home as they host Victoria on Tuesday.
