Shot in the Dark reluctantly wins, 7-5.
This was a game that neither team
seriously wanted to win.
With home ice for the playoffs on the line, the red team ran out to a 3-0 lead. Trevor Armand opened the scoring by going ass to bar up, when he banked a shot off the ass of goalie Fuji, who was pressing the button as fast as he could, but still couldn't get up. Steve Thompson then scored two and it was 3-0 just like that. Ted Miller was so pissed, he shot the puck at the ref. But without Jon Morin, the red team had no defense. First period goals by Mike Cormican and Chris Kirby made it 3-2, then the collapse was complete in the 2nd when they both scored again. "I didn't even need to get my shots on the net and they went in," said Cormican. Down 4-3 headed to the third, it was time for the yellow team to choke away the lead. Two goals by a hungry and angry Pat Deskin put red up 5-4. Trevor Armand's 2nd of the game made it 5-3. A real late goal by Cormican cut it to 6-5, as red was poised to choke it away again. Thanks to Steve Kaneb who was smashing the glass with his stick to make sure the clock got stopped after that goal. The game ended with 25 seconds left with a Thompson empty net goal. These two teams will meet in round one of the playoffs in a few weeks, and it should be a good series. Check out our great new box score here. |
