The Puck Pimps got
through the first period level after preventing the Pterodactyls from scoring
during Mike Gilligan's high stick, which was a brief 5-on-3 when Eric Racine's
trip sat him. All in all, not a bad period for the Pimps, but they fell behind
in the second the Pterodactyls scored on a power play to make it 1-0 while Greg
Mustoe was out for a hook. The Pimps would have to go down a man for the fourth
time, elbowing here, but they would go into the third at even strength and
trailing by just a goal.
The Pterodactyls would be disappointed to give up a goal to Racine from Vivino,
especially after four power plays, but they would have another chance to score
on Mustoe's unsportsmanlike conduct. They would not, and call timeout at even
strength, which eventually saw their final goal in a 2-1 Pterodactyls win.
Nick Spino was in goal, turning aside 27 of 29 shots in the loss tonight.
