A rematch took place at the Otsego County Sportsplex Friday night, as the Petoskey Northman came to the Plex to face off against the Gaylord Blue Devils, and the Northman skated away with a 7-3 victory over their Big North rivals. Earlier int eh year, Petoskey surprised the Blue Devils with a 9-1 (maybe 8-0) mercy win over Gaylord in Petoskey, which at that time seemed a big surprise with Gaylord playing so well. It looked like the Blue Devils would get their revenge at home, leading 3-1 in the 2nd period (and having a 4th goal waved off), until Petoskey used some pesky play, baiting the Blue Devils into a number of penalties, and cashing in, by scoring the next 6-goals (the last an empty-netter) for the 7-3 win, and sweep of Gaylord this season. This just sets up what should be a great regional coming up in D3 with Gaylord and Petoskey, Cheboygan who has only lost once so far this season, that to Sault Ste. Marie who is the other team in the regional. Any of these 4 will have a chance to make the Quarterfinals, although you have to figure the Soo will be the slight favorite, as they are most years.
