5S, no. 7; newsletter by h.s.)
Another game with an extremely short bench (just seven skaters).
Here's the recap: The Jags went up 2-0 in the 1st, scoring their second
at the tail-end of a powerplay against Wildman (“and the academy award
for 'diving' goes to ... the Jags B!”).
In the 2nd though, we capitalized on a goalie error when he came out to
play the puck and inadvertently hit it to a Pirate who would find the open
man and then the open net (credit for that goal goes to Chris with the assist
to Tim). That made the game 2-1. The Jags regained their 2-goal lead a short
time later off another one-timer, but it looked like we would catch a break
when we got a powerplay with time dwindling in the 2nd (their goalie lost
his stick and froze the puck behind their net); unfortunately, we turned
the puck over and Gucci walked in past a group of ice and (seemingly in
slow motion) scored the shorthanded goal to end the period with the 4-1
lead.
In the 3rd, Tim got us back into the game when he grabbed the puck in the
offensive zone and shot quick to beat their goalie low. That got us back
within two goals again, 4-2. The Jags though, would answer back and score
twice more to extend their lead to 6-2. With about :90 seconds remaining,
though, Scooby shuffled a great pass to Nick who immediately fed Chris cross-ice
for a goal to make it 6-3. We played with a lot of pep and — if we
had a few better bounces — it could've been much closer (the passing
was pretty impressive).

A 2-point night and working the boards.
