Sunday August 24(First round of playoffs)
(2)Spitfires vs Jokers(6)
A third period out burst by the Jokers makes the difference as they accomplish step one of their journey. M.Gagnon snapped an early third period 2-2 tie and S.Caissy was able to add two straight goals securing a hard fought win for the Jokers. The Spitfires missed a golden chance to grab a second period lead after being awarded a power play only to see D.Desmarais strike instead in a short handed situation.
(7)French Kiss Mafia vs Screeching Eagles(8) O.T
Each side tried their luck with a short bench only to see the Screeching Eagles take it in the end. Sometimes one player dictates the direction of a hockey game and tonight each side witnessed the dominant performance of D.Ruiz who was able to cash in five times while adding an important helper on C.Gingras’s power play goal. While D.Ruiz got his club to overtime, it was his brother L.Ruiz ending the night with the sudden death winner. The French Kiss mafia also had the luxury of having P.Koutsogiannopoulos in their line up as the skilled forward posted four goals and three helpers to finish with a brilliant performance of seven points.
The Boston Pizza player of the night goes to Dylan Ruiz of the Screeching Eagles. After netting a pair of goals in the first two periods, the sniper took it to another level by adding three third period tallies along with an assist to help lift the Screeching Eagles over the French Kiss Mafia.
