Monday Update - Another Game Seven

GENERALS - EAGLES GOING TO GAME SEVEN

For the second time in as many series, the Bentley Generals are going to a do or die game seven.

The Stony Plain Eagles evened the Senior AAA provincial final at three with a 2-1 win on home ice last night.

Yes. As dramatic as ANOTHER game seven is going to be...is anyone surprised? These two teams play to a one-goal result almost EVERY single time they meet. In the Chinook League Championship, Bentley won the fifth and deciding game 5-4. After seven games with Fort Sask, it will once again be Bentley and Stony in game seven.

In all seriousness, this game.... (Wednesday - Red Deer Arena - 8:30 p.m.) is for a berth in the Allan Cup. The winner moves on to HOST the Mackenzie cup, which has been an annual walk for whoever comes out of Alberta.
