A sweltering night inside the "Allaire Sauna" combined with Dave
Kurasz subbing as the Gerrys' goalie, made this game a lot more difficult
than it should have been (we can thank Brian Newcomb for hooking Dave up
with the
Gerry's captain). The first period was back-and-forth action, but the only
goal came on Scott's shot with :06 left to give us the 1-0 lead —and
the momentum — going into the first break.
The only goal of the 2nd came when the Gerry's put a rebound in at the 9:00-minute
mark to tie things up at 1-1.
Brian Newcomb broke the tie when he capitalized on a feed from Scott to
open the 3rd period scoring. Then, Russ converted a pass from BB later in
the period to give us a 3-1 lead. Our advantage was reduced to just one
goal when the Gerry's scored with about 5:00 minutes remaining on a slapshot.
But a fantastic penalty kill late in the 3rd (pretty much a one-man show
by BB) kept the Gerry's in their zone. We continued to outhustle them in
the final minutes and they were never able to regain possession long enough
to attack or pull their goalie. And, just for good measure, Scott added
another goal late in the period. Noteable performances: outstanding "D"
by Glen (again) and Big Jim (especially when Roger was somewhere at the
other end of the rink); Allen for his artistry on winning the faceoffs,
and Chris for forcing a bunch of turnovers at center ice (and nearly scoring
from center ice on a delayed offsides).
