I'm nearing the end of my first 12-game pre-NHL hockey season, and one of the most interesting questions was whether the Victorias would lose a game this year. They started the season on a 10-game unbeaten streak (8-0-2), and rolled into the Comets' stadium for their penultimate game of the regular season. With home-ice advantage in the championship series already secured, and spark plug Frank "Steamer" Maxwell out with an injury, the Vics laid an egg and fell 2-0 to the Comets. Percy LaSueur became the second goaltender this season to post a shutout (after the Vics' Hutton), stymieing the first-place team as he turned away all 32 shots he faced. Today's outcome also means that the Comets, Thistles, and Bulldogs are all still alive in the race for second place and a spot in the championship series against the Vics. The Bulldogs have the inside track, but it will certainly be an exciting few games to end the season!
