Green slides by last place Navy team in game one, 6-4.
Game 1:
"There's only so much I can do with this team, I'm no Don Sweeny," said Andy Long after this loss to the Navy team in game one. Navy is the hottest team in the league. After losing their first six games, they went undefeatedi n their final six. "It truly is a Cinderella story," said Lloyd Johnston. "I mean, we got really Phatt guys getting hat tricks for us." After Deskin and Long traded fluky goals, Deskin scored another silly goal and Navy took a 2-1 lead going into the third. Mark DeFilippis finally scored a real goal to tie the game at 2-2 early in the third. But Maffa spoonfed Flanagan for a goal, then Deskin scored his third on some nice passing by Betten and Onello for a 4-2 Navy lead. Jake Silk got one back late, but time ran out on Mike Cormican who was ready to score the tying goal in the slot. "Every goal they scored went off one of my defensemen," noted goalie Tom Fuji. "So we scored all 7 goals." "They cheated," screamed Don Fortini. "Ben kept knocking the net off every time we were getting close to scoring." "In my defense, I'm not a good skater and fall down alot," replied Ben as he ate his hardboiled egg." All the Navy team needs to do is tie next week to advance to the finals, as they try to complete one of the biggest turnarounds in Friday morning hockey history. |
