Assadi Consulting Inc rally fall short, United edge it out

(5)Assadi Consulting Inc vs United(6)

In what was an unacceptable start to their night, the Assadi Consulting Inc ultimately paid the price in the end. Credit to United for storming out of the gate riding an impressive four goal first period surge. A.Dessureault had an immediate impact scoring twice during the frame and E.Paradis-Levasseur was barely tested stopping the few shots he received. Now, whatever was said in between the first and second period definitely had an impact for the rest of the game. The Assadi Consulting Inc decided to finally wake up and play some hockey. A.Kobayati and M.Tvaronas each scored in the second which suggested for an interesting third period to come. As much as the Assadi Consulting Inc battled hard, they just couldn’t get there in time. Two of their third period goals came shorthanded by R.Fortin and P.Arkalis. The United played this one right-from the beginning getting the start they needed that helped put them in the drivers seat the rest of the way. P-J.Benel got credited the winner, and M.David was vital setting up three goals.

Punishers use 2 late goals in comeback win over Armadillos

(5)Punishers vs Armadillos(4)

The Punishers pulled off a remarkable comeback against a very familiar opponent, sparking two very late goals that overcame a 4-3 deficit. The game was deadlocked 3-3 when B.Gabbour of the Armadillos snapped the late tie with only 90 seconds left in the game. The Armadillos must have felt they had it wrapped up considering the little time left over to kill. Its hard to rescue your club when time is your worse enemy, that’s unless you have certain types of players that can change an outcome on their own. The lesson to be learned here is that you cant count out what C.Gingras can do when his club have their backs to the wall. The miracle worker was behind an incredible turn of events where he fed A.Kakivelis for the equaliser and a helper on N.Rompotinos’s late winner. Throughout most of the game, the Armadillos were always behind chasing the score until the very late stages of the contest where they finally though they had it. It may have ended in a sour note, but that wont phase the defending champs, who would rather lose early in the regular season than in an important playoff game.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Carl Gingras of the Punishers. Anytime you need a big play, C.Gingras will be there to make the difference. The Punishers took this wild contest thanks to their top gun scoring once while setting up two important late goals.
