The Smoke EAters stuck to their successful lines in game four of the series and it seemed to work again, barely. Paul Martin opened up the scoring for Drumheller scoring midway through the first period to send a bit of a chill throughout the packed house at the Cominco Arena. But just before the period ended Andrew Ladd took a feed from Patrick Kane and evened up the game as the first period came to an end. Patrick Kane, with a nifty pass from Andrew Ladd, then gave the Smoke Eaters the lead near the end of the second period, but Drumheller was not to be denied. Pascal Dupuis scored with just 39 seconds left in the period to tie the game and send the third period into a wild frenzy.
Trail outshot the Miners 17-2 in the third period as Mike Ribeiro got pined and Mike Fisher saw more ice time on the second line. The defensive presense seemed to help the home team. But nothing was solved in the third period despite the shots all being Trail’s way. A very nervous crowd downed some beers in the intermission and got set for overtime, which could result in anything. But the home team responded early as Bryan Little, who was subbing for a tired JOnathan Toews, took a pass from Patrick Kane and went upstairs on Jimmy Howard to give the Smoke Eaters the win and the series. Trail outshot Drumheller 38-18 in the game as Jimmy HOward was terrific.
