You know with a Saginaw, a London or a Peterborough, there’s a chance you’re going to see them in the playoffs. The Spirit are big and fast and thanks to four power-plays, they controlled the opening period, outshooting the 67’s 18-7 when Andree forced to make several spectacular stops. Rossi benefitted from a steal by Keating to open the game’s scoring 1:04 in with his 28th of the season. Keating was back at his pesty, forechecking, all-over-the-ice self 13 minutes later with the 67’s trying to kill a dubious double-minor to defenceman Merrick Rippon. “When Keats was out, Marco was getting like three scoring chances a game,” said 67’s head coach Andre Tourigny.
