John killed Mississauga's power play, and that turned out to be important as Phillips scored at 13:17 to make it 2-0. The score flattered the Majors, considering the Sea Dogs didn't score on four first-period power plays.But Mississauga outplayed the Sea Dogs in the second, outshooting them emphatically 15-6. After Maxim Kitsyn's shot went off the post early, Brace finally gave the crowd something to cheer about at 14:41 of the second as he cut the Sea Dogs' lead in half.DeSerres was again sharp late in the third when the Majors, who went 0-for-5 on the power play, pressed for the tying goal.

Cameron was the coach and Cizikas a player with the Canadian junior team that blew a 3-0 lead in dropping a heart-breaking 5-3 decision to Russia in the gold medal game in Buffalo, N.Y., in January.Then three months later, the Majors squandered leads of 2-0 and 3-2 in dropping the Ontario Hockey League final to Owen Sound with an overtime loss in the seventh and deciding game.Coming up short in both the OHL and Memorial Cup finals tarnished what was a stellar season for the Majors. They led the OHL with 53 wins in 68 regular-season games, scoring the most goals (287) and allowing the fewest (170).Their 53-13-2 record put them in third place in the CHL rankings behi
