Kyle Crnkovic scores again as Seattle Thunderbirds beat Peterborogh Petes 4-1 to reach Memorial Cup final against Quebec Remparts
Kyle Crnkovic scored his tournament-leading fifth goal and added an assist as the Seattle Thunderbirds topped the Peterborough Petes 4-1 on Friday to book their ticket to the Memorial Cup final.
The Western Hockey League champion Thunderbirds will next face the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champion Quebec Remparts in Sunday’s final. Gauvreau and Thunderbirds blueliner Nolan Allan dropped the gloves but were stopped from fighting by officials. Gauvreau was given a two-minute penalty for a check from behind and another for unsportsmanlike conduct, while Allan was handed two minutes for the latter.
Peterborough forward Avery Hayes was slow to get up after taking an elbow to the face from teammate Tucker Robertson late in the frame. Both tried to check Thunderbirds defenceman Luke Prokop by the end boards in Seattle’s zone.Simpson – coming off a 43-save performance in Thursday’s 5-4 overtime win – became an even brighter spot for Peterborough for much of the middle frame as Seattle continued to press.
