Late goal lifts Zombies into a first place tie.
A lazy penalty by Brian Frazier allowed the Witches to tie it late. But the third Armand on the depth chart rose to the occassion and scored an even later GWG. It was 2-2 after one, as the middle of the pack teams went toe to toe. The yellow Zombies scored three in the 2nd, as they jetted out to a comfortable 5-2 lead. With Bobrycki back on defense, what could go wrong? Well Flanagan and Morin scored to make it 5-4. Then Frazier took that late penalty, that allowed Flanagan to tie the game on the powerplay with 1:26 to play. "If Raimo is here, this doesn't happen," noted Rick Breed. Overtime was looming like the Lindsey Clancy verdict, but Zack Armand had other ideas, on both. He took a rare pass from Brian O'Keefe and fired one past a stunned Cooz with 9 seconds left for a 6-5 lead and the win. "It was a team effort today," said Mike Cormican. "Half the guys were trying and half weren't." The green loss costs them first place for the moment. "We were arguing on who was gonna start OT," said Eric Grasso. "None of us were really paying attention on that last goal." Check out our great new box score here. |
