Late Morin goal lifts Red to a 4-3 game one win.
Game 1:
The 2nd and 3rd place teams met in game one of their series, to see who will lose to the green team in two weeks in the finals. An early goal by Flanagan had the yellow team up 1-0. But there was no stopping Pat Deskin on this day, as he put home a rare pass from Ben Kirby to tie the game at 1-1. Think about that, 1-1 against Fuji. Sound familiar ? In the 2nd, another Flanagan goal put yellow up again. But...Deskin set up Andy Long for the tying goal just 27 seconds later. Tied again, now it was 2-2. Deskin's 2nd of the day finally gave red the lead, but it only lasted a few minutes before Cormican tied it for yellow. Heading into the third it was anyone's game. Another turnover led to the game winning goal, as Morin stole a clearing attempt, then blasted one by a stunned Fuji for a 4-3 lead for the red team. Yellow never really threatened much after that, as red skates away with a 4-3 game one win. Both Fuji and Cooz saw a ton of breakaways and odd man rushes, yet somehow kept the score 4-3. |
