5W, no. 1; newsletter by h.s.)
Our first game of the new season turned out to be a battle of the “special
teams.” There were five powerplay opportunites, including three Pirate
powerplays and a 5-on-3 advantage for the Crunch in the 3rd. Ironically,
the only goal of the game was a shorthanded one by the Crunch at the 10:30
mark in the final period. Up till that point the action was back-and-forth,
but it was on the tail-end of our powerplay that the Crunch (featuring some
new snipers in their lineup) broke down ice and somehow managed a 2-on-0
break; the first shot was blocked, but they tucked in the rebound for what
would be the GWG.
We had a bunch of opportunities after that (including a couple of breakaways
and a few brief open nets with a sprawling John Arena), but we couldn't
finish. With :25 seconds left we put on the extra skater and threatened,
but couldn't get the tying goal.
