Farmville hoes themselves a 5-4 win.
"Previously I thought it was impossible to go for Kotex points in a
one goal game. But watching defenseman Bobrycki storming the
opposing net with 2 minutes left looking for the hat trick really
changed the way I look at stat-padding," said Jim Wilkinson.
"Atleast I finished with the Bratt-trick, two goals," smiled Bobrycki.
Yea the first place teal Farmville team looked to make it an impressive 6-1 with a win over the last place navy Mafia Wars team.
But after John Kitchura scored an early navy goal, and then Bill Osbahr banged one in almost 5 minutes later, Farmville found themselves down by a pair.
Luckily Jim Wilkinson was in a skating mood, as he set up Cormican for one then scored one of his own to tie the game at 2-2 before the first 19 minutes ended.
Bruner gave the navy team a 3-2 lead in the 2nd, but Bobrycki was set up in the slot by Dan McCarthy, and BBB roofed a shot past Cooz to tie it.
Once again though the teal team went ahead as Kitchura beat Benny with just 22 seconds left in the period, and the last place team was threatening to steal one from the top dogs.
There was some confusion on this goal as the scoreboard lights were malfunctioning, and Osbahr thought the clock had reached zero and somehow reset itself. In reality the 1 on the left side was mostly blacked out. Luckily one of the refs was on the case and signaled the play continue.
"I kept trying to ice it hoping to get a stoppage, but I'll take the goal," said Osbahr.
After nearly half a scoreless third period Farmville turned the soil and tied the game on a blast from Bobrycki from the point. Yes, another top corner shot past Cooz.
Two minutes later Cormican was sniffing around the navy net, and after several whacks got the puck to roll past Cooz and just over the goal line and past the reach of Al Peterson who was just a hair too late trying to save it.
Mafia Wars never really threatened after falling behind with this goal. Brian Armand made sure if the outcome when he lined up Brendon Bruner who was trying to rush the puck out of his own zone with 1:48 to play.
"I even took it easy on him," laughed Armand.
Farvmille enjoys first place all alone with Mafia Wars has a share of last place with Words with Friends. A Dubious Honor for sure.
