Quebec City, QC- As one of the most disiplined clubs in the CCHL, the Thunder Bay Timberwolves imploded in Quebec and gave up 4 power play goals on 9 attempts.
>>>There is no sugar-coating the performance displayed on Sunday from the Timberwolves. Averaging a little less than 9 minutes in penalties a game, the 21 minutes in offenses for Thunder Bay were by far the largest sum incurred this season, and the usually stout penalty-kill was obviously exhausted after letting in 4 goals.
>>>Despite 2 tallies from Mike Fisher and 9 shots from Patrick Sharp (pictured), the Timberwolves fell in Quebec, 5-3 to the Remparts.
>>>"This isn't our game," said a rather shocked Timberwolves coach, Ryan McGill. "There are a few teams out there that like to chirp. Wouldn't say that the Remparts usually are, but for whatever reason we got involved in the after whistle bull**** that we've skated away from all season. Maybe we bottled too much up and unleashed it out there. All I can say is it better be all out now. Because it cost us the game and 2 points. The next opponent isn't going to be any less abrasive."
>>>The Timberwolves next game is Tuesday in Niagara Falls against the Thunder. Home of arguably the most abrasive, talkative players in the league, Sean Avery.
>>>"We play Niagara like we played Quebec, and we're toast," said alternate captain, Patrick Sharp. "They feed off of teams that retaliate and lose their cool. Disipline is first and foremost. If we can do that, we can beat them at every level of our game."
