Hardy and Rough Riders get blasted by Jimmy D., 7-1.
The yellow Rough Riders needed a late
goal to avoid a shutout. New acquisition Todd Nichol tucked one past
Fuji with 2:44 left for the 7-1 final.
In a season which has had more moves than Rick Bobrycki at Club 54, the 0-6 navy team has won 4 in a row to move up into 3rd place with a 4-6 record. The win over the yellow Rough Riders has sent them from 3rd to 4th place, as they now are first in line for an upgrade. It was 1-0 navy atter one as Mark DeFellipis scored a rare goal for the FF's. Nice passes by Zack Armand and Brian Armand to the other team, set up easy goals, as the RR's took a 7-1 lead early in the third period. "We're gonna wait untl the last minute to wreck Fuji's shutout," said Steve Hardy. And that they did. Some poor play in the defensive zone by the navy team allowed Hardy and Dan Ryan to set up Todd Nichol for the shutout-buster with 2:44 left. "That was close," said Bob Powell. After the game, a team prayer at center ice provided some hope for the yellow team. "I'm not sure what everyone else was praying for, but I was praying for Pat Deskin back," said Brian Armand. The RR's now reside in last place, with just 2 games left before the playoffs. Check out our great new box score here. |
