Cupcakes hibernate the Bearclaws, 5-3.
The Cupcakes have won three in a row, all without an upgrade,
and are now within striking distance of the first place
Bearclaws.
They had their eyes set on the first place Bear Claws this week, and needed a strong third period to get the win. The red team took a 3-2 lead after two periods, as the Cupcakes were befuddled. Or something like that. In the 2nd Thompson's second of the game tied it at 3-3 setting up a whopper of a third period. Thompson completed the hat trick, taking the puck off the skate of Rick Armand for a 4-3 lead. Then the big guns showed up. Mark Kramer put home the insurance goal, and that was too much for Chris Caruso and Tony Onello to overcome. It's now 3 wins in a row for the 2nd place Cupcakes, who are now within one point of the first place Bear Claws. Check out our great new box score here. ![]() |
