Fuji Magic once again, Fore Fathers advance to finals, 4-2.
Game 2
FOREFATHERS 4 BUNKER BOYS 2 F After last week's tie, it was a winner take all this week. This was about as even as you could get. It was 1-1 after one then 2-2 after two, and you just kinda felt this one was gonna end in a tie too. Lloyd had both goals for the red team, and that's never good. "If you're counting on me to scored all our goals, your screwed," noted Lloyd. Jake Silk had to leave and catch a train, and Luke Steigerwald got hurt, so the 3rd and 4th defenesmen were both out for the red team midway through the game. This forced Andy Long back on defense. He was playing a great game up on forward, setting up one of the Lloyd goals, but duty called. "Okay it's next man up," said Eric Grasso. "I'll move up to the first line, and O'Keefe to the second line. Melito, you can stay on line three since you're doing nothing." The injuries really stymied the first place red team. And with 6:00 left it was still tied at 2-2 and anyone's game. Then Joe Surette blocked a shot. It stung worse than being put on a line with Andy Long. He tried to ignore the pain and Long. But after another great save by Vieira the puck went up in the air, and Joe batted it right to Cormican who scored into the open side. It actually was a nice place, just he put the puck in the wrong place. "That was the best pass I got all game long," commented Cormican. JA scoerd into the empty net with a minute left to seal the deal. "JA was a late season acquisition, so he's not a real duck," noted Steve Iannetti. The last place navy team would hang on for the win, as Fuji Magic does what it does every season, stink in the regular season, and end up in the finals. For the first place red team, it was a very Sweeney moment. Not Don, but Sydney. "The only bigger bust than Sydney Sweeney is Mark Melito in the playoffs," said Andy Long, who will be playing in his first consolation game in many years. "I'm not sure what to do?" continued Long. "I'm so used to being in the champtionship game. How does the consolation game work?" "You should ask Tony Onello or Brian Armand, you know, guys with alot of expeirience with that game," replied Rick Murphy. Game 3 N/A |
