Slayers Live to See Another Day! Shock Collar the Puppies 4-3 in OT

Slayers 4 Dawgs 3 (OT)

The Slayers playoff hopes are still alive as they eliminated the Old Dawgs Sunday afternoon.

The Slayers, playing a like hung-over arm-less grannies pulled off an amazing win against the Old Dawgs despite looking tired and not all that together for a better part of the game. The Dawgs controlled most of what was a spirited game between two teams who enjoy playing each other. Paul Wilson, the Dawgs goalie, made a number of amazing saves, including one from Tommy that smacked his face mask and shot straight up. The puck then landed back on Tommy's stick and he let her rip and clanged the post. The Dawgs had a commanding 3 to 1 lead till the Slayers found the back of the net in the 3rd period. With the score 3 to 2 the Dawgs had a couple untimely penalties (Tonya!) and the Slayers made the puppies pay. Later in the 3rd period, on the PP, the Slayers battled and scored with 6.7 seconds remaining forcing overtime! What a turn of events. The Dawgs were slack jawed in amazement as their commanding lead had evaporated. With the game on the line the Slayers battled hard in the first minute of over-time. With only a minute and forty seconds into the OT the Slayers won a key offensive face-off and with the determined play of Blanchard on the short side the cource of history would change forever.

With Altree draped all over him, Blanchard tried to bank a shot off Wilson's shoulder or noggin but it hit Altree's stick at the same time and the puck flipped up onto the top of the net and bounced twice on the cross bar before falling back behind the goal to the right of Wilson. The puck bounced from Blanchard's arm, then to his thigh, then stick, then the ice. The puck continued to bounce and Altree continued to mug Blanchard. Blanchard spied a semi open Kevin Kolb and hacky sacked the puck out of the air with his right skate to him in front of the net. Kev made two moves pulled the puck back and then buried it past Wilson for the game winner in OT! All while having three sticks trying to contain him. Kevin, showed incredible pacience. What a goal! The team erupted. It had looked as though the Slayers were done, but they reached deep and found a way to win. FUKENEH!
