It’s Do or Die Time

Despite a determined effort where the Wolves trailed just 4-3 with less
than 10 minutes to play in the game, Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors
scored an empty net goal on route to a 6-3 victory over the Wolves last
night and have taken a 3-0 stranglehold on the Eastern Conference
Semi-Final series with the Wolves.

The Wolves return home tonight at 7:35 where they will face elimination
for the first-time in the 2011 OHL Play-offs.   The Wolves will be
pulling-out all the stops and will be relying on graduating forwards
MARCUS FOLIGNO, ERIC O’DELL, MICHAEL LOMAS and goaltender ALAIN
VALIQUETTE to once again lead the way against the veteran-laden Majors.
The Wolves have been outscored 17-10 in the three games played so far.
The Wolves will be looking at tightening-up defensively to give them a
chance to earn their first win of the series.

Wolves’ fans will also have a chance to see 17-year-old rookie forward
NATHAN PANCEL for the first time on home-ice tonight as the Orleans
native makes his debut in Sudbury.   There are still 1,200 seats
available for tonight’s game and the arena ticket office is open all day
right through until game time.
