IT seems even when the
Nor-Wes Caps catch :
break they can’t capital-
ize.

Last Sunday's Pacitic
International Junior Hoc
League match-up was a perfect
example. The Caps were play-
ing host to second place Port
Coguitlam Buckero night
after PoCo had a very physical
game with their arch-rivals, the
Ridge Meadows Flames.

Things looked good tor the
4-30) Lonsdale Arena tenants
when Marko Segovic, the
Bucks’ leading scorer, didn’t
dress for the Sunday afternoon
tile.

Evervthing seemed to be
favouring the — second-year
expansion franchise as they
looked to break the double-
digit barrier for points. But it
was not to be The Bucks won
5-0.

Both teams came out strong
with a wide-c
ing, fast-paced first period.
Caps’ best scoring chance came
with just under five minutes
remaining as Brett Rickart cut
past the PoCo defenceman and
fired a shot at Buckeroo goalie
Joe! Gibson. Gibson made the
save. PoCo’s Eric McCombie
scored from in tront of the net
at the 2:43 mark to give the
visitors the lead.

The opening seconds of the
second period spelled doom tor
the Nor-Wes Caps. Just 20 see-
onds in McCombie added his
second of the game and the
Caps were totally deflated.
