Shot in the Dark wins in OT again, 6-5.
The red team
once again coughed up a third period lead, only to win in OT, again.
The red Shot in the Dark team knocked off the first place Crazy Train team to take the sacred top spot on Friday morning. But it didn't come without another lead being choked away in the final period. Red took a 3-1 lead into the middle period as Brian Armand, John Gambale, and Steve Thompson all scored. "Wow, when Armand and Gambale both score on you, it just sucks the life out of you," said Tony Onello. Luckily the gold team had some of their C players contributing too, as Rick Murphy had a pair of assists. "To be clear, I'm a C plus player," noted Murph. The teams battled to a 5-4 red lead after two period. In that final period, Mike Cormican scored his 3rd of the day to tie it at 5-5. From there, referee Brian Leslie made sure there would be overtime. It took less than a minute of bonus hockey for acting captain Andy Long to lift his team to victory. "If it wasn't me, it would have been either Bob Powell or Dan Ryan, as both were up next to take the ice," said Long. "I was already in the shower," replied Powell. "Nobody told me I was supposed to win the game." Check out our great new box score here. |
