The Yorkton Terriers' playoff record is no longer unblemished, and their winning streak is over at 10 games, after dropping the opener of the SJHL Credit Union Cup 5-2 in La Ronge Friday night.
The Terriers had a sluggish start, and trailed 3-0 at the midway point of the game.
Kyle McLeod cut the lead to two goals twice, with his first two career playoff goals (Troy Dumais assited both), but the Terriers top three lines were all held off the scoresheet, and their top two line were pointless for the first time since the trade deadline.
I'll publish the streak now, because I'm sure I would have jinxed it if I'd said it earlier... but Game 1 was the first game Justin Buzzeo did not register a point in a Yorkton Terrier jersey. It spanned an incredible 21 games, and he put up 42 points in the process.

21 Games (16 goals, 26 assists, 42 points)
Exactly 2 points per game
Hopefully fans aren't sounding alarm bells... I know the goof from the post below is, but it's only one game. The Terriers won Game 1 last year and lost in 6. Yes, losing Game 1 makes Game 2 pretty pivotal... and I know a better Terrier squad will take the ice Saturday night.
