The Pedlar Funeral Home Bantam Panthers began their playoffs this week with two wins, both shut-outs for goalie Ross Michalko
On Feb 19th, the Pedlar Panthers played a wild game against their cross-town rivals Pelham #1. Zach Baltrusiunas scored first with a power play goal from Jacob Gula & Ben Roptus. Baltrusiunas then netted his second goal of the game – a beauty from the circle helped by Charlie Devries & Elliot Song. The final point of the 3-0 win went to Matt Vandenhaak whose wrap-around shot was assisted by Blaise Zantinge.
The Panthers hosted Grimsby #3 on Feb 21st. Jacob Gula found the back of the net to start off the Panthers’ game, then went to the far end of the upper shelf for his second from a sweet pass series by Ben Roptus & Zach Baltrusiunas. Mitchell Karnay found the open spot to slide in another goal with the help of Jack Obdeyn & Charlie Devries and Gula rifled a shot into the empty net for his hat trick goal in the 4-0 win.
