Red Devils hang on for 6-5 win.
The Devils had themselves a 6-1 lead in
the third, and nearly blew it, because that's what they do.
"I can't believe we're still in first place," said Andy Long. "This team can't hang on to a lead. I knew it wasn't over until the clock ran out." Red took a 1-0 lead into the 2nd, and after John Ragucci tied it a minute in, red then scored the next 5 goals for a 6-1 lead. "The good news is that we're shooting on Vieira, so we still have a chance," said Mike Cormican. Yellow chipped away at the lead, getting goals from Zack Armand, a 2nd from Ragu, and then two goals a minute apart by Brian Frazier for a 6-5 score with 4 minutes to play. This week though there would be no Paul Maffa heroics for the yellow team. The Devils and goalie Vieira would hang on for the 6-5 win and take first place over from this yellow team. "It didn't feel like a win giving up all those third period goals," said John Ambrosino. "I was afraid I was gonna have to go out there and be a game changer." "Luckily it didn't come to that," said Joe Surette. The standing are now pretty close with the teams at 9, 8, 7, and 6 points. Check out our great new box score here. |
