Erock Reges was in attendance. "Who's this? Dave" was also there, and Randall Shuler once again covered for us in goal on the account of Shoup's absence and Pott's missing ankles and knees.
This team did not seem to pose any sort of challange to the Lengths, which held on to be true all except for the addition of Heroin ref as their sixth man, and the fact that Marian Hossa's brother plays for them.
Seriously, didn't anyone have a needle or something for Heroin ref to hit before the game to put him in a better mood? Nice dude, you work full time as a Dek hockey ref, don't take your failed attempt at life or your addiction to an illegal substance out on us innocent players. Do some research dude.
Anyway, to our surprise the head Marxist is now also working for the dek and he was the second ref. He didn't cause any issues, but Karl was awfully quiet in his early years as well.
We came out and scored the first goal and things were looking good. Tim makes a play at the center line and gets the ball to Curt. Curt beats a defender and sneaks one in near bar on the goalie. 1-0 Lengths.
The game then took an unfortunate turn. They managed to squeeze some shots by Randall because of some unlucky bounces, and we were suddenly down 3-1 at the first intermission.
We held our ground though, and they only managed one more goal for the rest of the game.
Curt and Tim once again hooked up in the second with Curt making a nice play behind the net to sneak one out to Tim in front who poked it in.
Brandon also did some dirty work and put in a similar goal early in the third.
Nordo and Trav were all over the place but could not buy a goal.
The addition of Erock Reges and Dave in the back helped, and Pott had a few opportunities but we could not sneak one by their keeper (who was either playing very well, or getting very lucky).
Finally with approximately 2 1/2 minutes remaining, team leading goal scorer Brandon added to his lead with another gritty goal in front of the net. 4-4 tie.
The Nordo and Markie line finished the game and after some close calls in our own zone, they managed to get the ball deep into the offensive zone and create some awesome chances. Unfortunately not before the buzzing sounded, we're going to OT.
Curt and Tim started the offensive push in OT and they were close, but not close enough. We then took a penalty. We were short handed twice in a 5 minute overtime period with a running clock, and we still had more chances than them. Nord and Markie were all over the place and Pott and Brandon almost put the game away on their shift, but almost only counts in...well you know the saying.
4-4 tie. Next game is 8/1 at 4:00PM Vs. Red Russians.
