Brussels Atoms lose 4 p orts Charging in Brussels Bull Chad McCallum puts the pressure on the Wiarton Wolves goalie during Friday night's first playoff game in the series. While the Bulls were all over the Wolves in this battle, a self-defeating effort in Wiarton on Sunday that went into double overtime before sending Brussels home defeated, killed the Bull's advantage. Bulls split wins with Wiarton series after jumping out to a 2-0 first period lead on goals by Brian McNichol and Ryan Wright. Wiarton pulled to within one with a powerplay goal four minutes into the second, but a Bulls' powerplay goal off the stick of Tim Beyer put Brussels back in control. The wheels started to fall off when defenceman Mike MacKay made a bad clearing pass and it bounced off goalie Ryan Fisk into the Bulls' net. Wiarton then called a stick measurement on winger Darin Alviano and were right sending the Bulls best penalty killer to the box for two minutes. Wiarton went ahead 4-3 with two more powerplay goals dug down to tie the score with a Nate Bender goal with one-tenth of a second left on the clock. The two clubs played 10 minutes of sudden death overtime without scoring and then went to a 20 minute period. The Bulls came out strong and looked hopeful when Sheldon Mustard broke in on a breakaway but a diving Wolves defenceman knocked the puck away before he could take a shot. Wiarton quickly came back and seconds later Greg Hellyer flipped a backhand over the shoulder of goalie Ryan Fisk. "It was a disappointing game because I felt we beat ourselves. We got away from our game plan and the Wolves took advantage," said Coach Pettigrew. The two teams meet Friday night in Brussels at 9 and then return to Wiarton Saturday for a 7:30 game. If a fifth and deciding game is required it would be played in Brussels Sunday afternoon at 4.
