Monday May 1(Finals, best of five series)
(1)Black Knights vs Red Lite(4) Game 1
Captain Carl Ghilarducci scores twice in two minutes to lead Red Lite
C.Ghilarducci came up big at both ends of the rink on Monday night. The highly skilled and very tall defenseman scored two quick goals and kept most of the Black Knights forward in check to lead his club to a 1-0 series lead. The game was tied 1-1 before the captain scored twice to stretch its lead to 3-1.In addition to his contribution, M.David also buried a pair with the help of K.Kuczmarski, who participated in all four goals for the Red Lite. The Black Knights just weren’t sharp enough in their opening game. Apart from S.Nowakowski’s lone tally, there weren’t many positives to chew on. Red Lite won’t have the body count to match the Black Knights in this series but their ten players alone are filled with enough quality to knock out anyone. Unless the Black Knights find solutions for game two, this series could come to a halt earlier than expected.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Carl Ghilarducci of Red Lite. Whenever a team has a player with such ability, vision and mechanics as a defenseman, it becomes very discouraging for any forwards to go up against such a force.
