Game 3: Opponent? 41-6-6.
These guys clog everything. We get outplayed in the first period and they score on a short side goal. At the end of the first period, we are poke checked, hit, and clogged. They outscored, outchance, and out time-on-attack us. 1-0 them.Second period? More of the same. We are barely staying in it. With 1:30 left, we get a powerplay. Unfortunately, a botched clear ends up with a tic-tac-toe play into our net. 2-0. We barely have any chances and we're down 2-0 heading into the third with barely any chances.
Third period. 5:22 in. They make a rare mistake. Breakaway. Goal. 2-1. We're back in it. 8 minutes left. Backbreaker. They score making it 3-1 off an errant pokecheck that gives them a wide open net. 2 minutes left. We're done. It's all over. But wait!Milly goes deep off a dump. Throws it out in front. Backhanded in. 3-2. 30 seconds left. NBPK is putting the pressure on. 25 seconds left. Shot out front. 23 seconds left. Rebound in the middle of the air. 22 seconds left. Puck in the air, Milly bats it in. One of the most clutch goals ever! 3-3 to overtime!
Overtime opens up, they get a wicked chance. Miss the net. Otherwise, rejuvenated, we are locking them down.They take a penalty. On the delayed call, we put the pressure on but can't capitalize. Milly comes in throws it on net. I head straight for the net. Goalie can't find it. Goal. 4-3 in an unbelievable comeback. Viz/Scheuy lock things up. Legit was a force all night. Milly with the sick goal. It was awesome.
