Shenanigans:
Both teams played tight defence with the usual hacking and whacking. Nothing serious.
Notes (The way I saw it):
The Merchants could have won this game but for the tenacity of the Nitro and the goaltending of Craig Robertson. The Nitro coaching staff must have had a good hunch to start Robertson. The Merchants outshot the Nitro by 20 shots.
An almost full loud house cheered on both teams from beginning to end.
