Shot deferential a concern after game 1

The Nepean Raiders did what head coach Peter Goulet wanted by staying out of the penalty box.

Unfortunately it didn't help them get their desired result in game 1 of their playoff series

The Raiders dropped a 3-2 decision to the Cornwall Colts last night, despite only taking three minor infractions -- all of which were killed off.

Although disciplined, the latest concern would have to be the amount of shots they surrendered.

Goaltender Michel Kowalew faced 50 shots in game 1, turning aside 47 of them. He was named the game's second star for his efforts.

On the other hand, Nepean was only able to propel 16 pucks at Colts netminder Doug Carr, a trend that will have to change in order to beat the league's top stopper.

Game 2 goes tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Nepean Sportsplex.
