Slayers vs Cheapskates
Slayers battled a fierce game against Fire and Ice on Saturday night at the Chapman Hill Ice Arena. The two teams went goal for goal the entire game. Late in the 3rd the Slayers had a 3-2 lead until a streaking Mitch Carrier walked in and blasted a high shot past Greg Sykes. Moments later the Slayers were called for a trip (more ref blinding due to the jiffy pop ceiling). With the man advantage Fire and Ice worked hard to get the go-ahead goal. However, their dreams were shattered when Scott Simmons stole the puck in neutral ice with less than 90 seconds remaining. Scott ripped down the far side and buried the puck past Fire and Ice goalie Griz Kelley on the blocker side. The shorty had fans and Slayers alike cheering Scott's wicked shot. With a minute and some change remaining, Fire And Ice remained on the power play and nearly tied the game with 24 seconds left. However, the solid play from the Slayers blue-liners and a timely back check from Simmons kept most of the play to the outside. That was until a nice pass found a Fire and Ice player down low breaking fast to the net. Diving through the crease Dan Driver poked the puck off the Fire and Ice players stick just as he was about to unload a point blank shot. The Slayers continued to force the rest of the play to the boards and earned the 4-3 win. With the win, the Slayers now move on to face Cheapskates in the Championship game.
Game Note: Slayers skated without Cory Harper and Dale Womack. Greg Sykes played between the pipes for the flu infected Womack. Thanks a ton Greg. Fire and Ice was without Jordan due to a shoulder injury.
