(vol.
4W, no. 3; newsletter by h.s.)
Our first meeting with the Marlins since our Finals loss a few weeks ago,
had a radically different outcome this time around. It didn't take long
for Jimmy Ferraro to begin the barrage as he scored from the blueline (assist
to Rob) at about the 13-minute mark. Jimmy then assisted on Scott Miller's
goal moments later, before scoring again on another blueline rocket from
a cross-ice pass from Russ. Rob Armswood would close out the scoring for
the period, giving us a comfortable 4-0 lead at the first break.
The Marlins switched to “total offense” mode in the 2nd, but the
3-man defensive rotation of Russ, Roger and Rob stalemated the constant
rush. Good hustle and two-way play by Chris and Glen Chambers to cover the
points proved an effective antidote against the usually high-scoring Marlins
as well as key face-off wins by Glen in our zone. The lone goal-scorer of
the 2nd period was credited to Roger who rifled yet another blast from just
inside the blueline — through traffic — for his second score of
the new season.
The 5-0 lead held late into the game when, finally, the Marlins made some
roomin our zone and found Glenn Farkas (remember: on Sunday's we like Glenn,
buton Wednesdays he's the enemy) alone in front for the one-timer, high
stickside at the 2:40 remaining mark. With about a minute left, Russ passed
into the fray and Jimmy redirected the shot to finish his hat-trick and
the night's scoring. The win continued our undefeated streak (3-0) this
season.
