The Bellingham Blazers mark their
inaugural season with their first playoff series sweep. The tension
was thick in the Sportsplex arena as the Blazers held a 2-0 lead in
the first round of the NOR PAC 2012-2013 playoffs over the Eugene
Generals. Bellingham proved to be better prepared when they traveled
to Oregon earlier, handing Eugene two-straight losses. Back on home
ice the Blazers came out hot, firing in their goal in the first
minute of play. The Generals would soon counter sending the match to
a one-all-tie at the end of the first period. The second period was
much like the first seeing the Blazers aggressively attacking the
net, pushing the Generals to the breaking point. Bellingham scored
once more and held the lead heading into the third. Finally the
gloves came off and as Eugene lost their cool. Nine Generals saw the
penalty box and their goalie was ejected after two more Blazers goals
were scored, erupting in a brawl in front of Eugene's net. Final
score 4-1. Click here to view photos of the game.
