Ontario Hockey Association Senior League Instead while thousands of wellwishers filed by the Flyers dressing room Thursday or hung back seek ing look at the newly crowned champions Flyers themselves remained sub dued and unusually quiet for club which had just ugset the upstart Thunder ay Twins for the league cham pionship Phil Branston who scored the winning goal in Flyers 34 win said it all when he told reporter Were tired It was the fourth game in five nights for Barrie At this point Flyers were unaware that hectic schedule was awaiting them and would for bid any rest Goaltender Grant Cole peeled back the wrapper of the lone bottle of champagne wrenched out the lastic cork and ured himse fa healthy shot efore passing the bottle around It didnt take long for the well to run dry Flyers undid their skates and sat back for spell clearly savorin their triumphant come rom behind trek which toppled the defending Allan Cup champions four games to three in the best of seven final Three times Flyers faced extinction and three times ther came through The bulk of 2661 fans at the Barrie Arena Thursday voiced their approval of the Flyers deciding shutout win over the Twins It was game which demanded total concentra tion by Flyers timely goals from Branston Bob Monteith and Bob Baird and superb goaltending by Cole Earlier in the series playingcoach DarrylSly said Cole was capable of shutting the Twins out on any given night in fact Cole acted as though he would keep the Twins off the scoreboard for as long as they wanted to test him or for as long as it took the Flyers to penetrate the tough screen of Twins goalie John Adams Flyers did penetrate with goals in each period Branston flipped rebound into an empty corner to cap the efforts of linemates Paul Regan and Bob Baird This trio has combined in the playoffs to lead Flyers Thirty seconds remained in the second period when Monteith fired shot by Adams Baird was set up in the slot by Regan at 452 of the third period and quickly fired his fourth goal of the series into the Twins net The goal did lot to deflate Twins chances of catching Barrio Twins were unable to beat COIC or the Flyers defence as the game progressed However the challenge was put to Cole early in the game Twins swarmed in green masses in the opening period They forced Flyers off the puck and hemmed them in their own end In the first period alone Cole was asked tostoplSshots This was the second game in as many nights for the Flyers It was also the second game in row for Flyers and the second straight time he turned the tide of the
