Rough Riders ride into the championship game, 5-1.
Game 2
ROUGH RIDERS 5 BREAKFAST BALLERS 1 The gold Rough Riders weren't even .500 this season in their 3rd place finish. But in the playoffs they went undefeated in round one against the 2nd place green team. As usual, attendance is the key in the playoffs, and this time around Tony Onello made both games for the green team, as they lost both games. "We were both missing key guys, so it balanced out I thought," said Rick Armand. "They were missing Kirby, we were missing Powell." Gold went up 2-1 after one on goals by Jacob Minsk and Steve Hardy. "It figures our two best guys open up the scoring for us," said Hardy. Green never scored again as goalie Ben Minsk shut them down for the final two periods. "They really don't have much of an offense," said Minsk. "They have Flanagan and Gambale, and that's it." Jacob tacked on another goal in the 2nd, then Jon Morin put in a pair of goals to seal the game. "I really thought it would be alot tougher series," noted Hardy on the sweep. Gold moves on to take on Fuji and the last place navy team in the finals next week. Game 3 N/A |
