4W, no. 10; newsletter by h.s.)
Not quite the storybook ending to our spectacular playoff run. The Marlins
jumped out to 1-0 lead off a one-timer at about the 11:00 minute mark and
that would be the only score in the 1st period.
They continued pressure throughout the 2nd, and tapped in rebound for the
2-0 lead. We had some close calls, but couldn't seem to get to the rebounds
(which were ample) or get the good bounce off the goal post. Late in the
period, the Marlins expanded their lead to 3-0 off a shot after a face-off
win in our zone.
In the 3rd, just when things were looking pretty bleak, Russ rifled a high
shot from the red line to put us on the board. It looked like the momentum
was slightly shifting and the Marlins actually called their timeout to regroup
after we continued to pressure. Unfortunately, the next score went to the
Marlins as they again found a man in front for another one-timer. At about
the 8:00-minute mark though, Rob Armswood lasered a pass to Russ in front
for a beautiful goal to again bring us within two (a video highlight of
this is attached thanks to the camera work of Brian Newcomb). In a Mike
Kennan-like move, Russ pulled the goalie and added the extra skater with
five minutes left; unfortunately — even with spectacular sliding saves
by Glen Chambers — the Marlins were able to add two emptynetters and
insure the repeat
