their last two, meaning the winner of tonight’s contest moving ahead of the
other.

them at bay. At even strength, The Rink Rats’ got 2 goals to make it 2-0
early.Pressing to try and knock the Puck Pimps out early, the Rink Rats scored
again making it 3-0, which would be the score going into the second period,
although the Rink Rats would be down a man.

Kazmanian Devil” Kazlauskas scoring, to make it 3-1 but they would be pulled
back on a Rink Rats goal to make it 4-1. Rink Rats would get another goal to
make it 5-1, but the Puck Pimps stayed in it with Scott Brady finishing from
Dave Scioscia to make it 5-2
The third period began with the Rink Rats ahead 5-2, but the
deficit was made two after Greg Mustoe put the biscuit in the basket to make it
5-3. As soon as the Puck Pimps felt like they were getting closer, Rink Rats
scored again to make it 6-3. The Rink Rats had another successful kill, but
Chris "The Kazmanian Devil" Kazlauskas got their fourth goal from Mustoe to make
it 6-4. The Puck Pimps were gunning for a fifth goal, but Rink Rats denied all
chances and added another one to make it 7-4. That goal pretty much put the game
out of reach.
