Wednesday April 22(A Semi finals)
(1)Red Lite vs Generals (2) Game 2
It was a long two weeks for the Generals, but a 2-1 win to even the series will start to settle just fine. J-R Turgeon opened the scoring late in the first period on the power play, and while everything seemed fine at that point, S.Ghilarducci struck right away in period number two tying the game for Red Lite. Despite the amount of fire power each team posses, both teams knew the significance of the next goal. With time winding down in the second period, B.Leduc regained the lead for the Generals leaving one more frame to play. Red Lite normally bounces back in these situations but were frustrated by L.Augustin-Registe who denied all but one goal the entire game.
(1)Royal Flush vs Black Knights(8) Game 2
Four different players tallied twice each and the Black Knights find themselves with an opportunity to win one more game in hopes of reaching the finals. C.Chirola, S.Sacco each struck twice making the score 4-1 before A.Mezzagno and M.Gaze took over the second part of the contest netting a pair each. The Black Knights avoided the third period by ending the night early due to the seven goal mercy rule.
(5)All Blacks vs Rated R(4) B Semi finals, game 3
V.Hunter puts together another great game and the All Blacks seal their spot to the finals. Hunter netted the All Blacks first three goals giving his club a 3-2 lead with half a game remaining. Payam Assadi set the stage for a crucial third period after scoring his second goal on the power play tying the game at four goals a piece for Rated R. Each side knew how big that next goal was going to be and with half a period left to go, S.Ghilarducci may have riffled the All Blacks biggest tally so far. This win advances the All Blacks to the finals where they’ll take on the Capitals in a best of three series.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Vincent Hunter of the All Blacks. Three goals isn’t easy at this level but Hunter was able to collect his hat trick in a big 5-4 win over Rated R.
