(5)Assadi Consulting inc vs United(4) Game 2

Up 1-0 in the best-of-three B Thursday Division final, United entered Game 2 with confidence and plenty of reason to believe it could finish the series. After a balanced offensive performance helped United establish a 3-0 advantage, the team appeared to be firmly in control and within reach of a championship-round victory. But the Assadi Consulting Inc had other plans. United's three-goal cushion gave the defending side some breathing room, but playoff games can change in an instant. The Assadi Consulting Inc refused to panic and gradually chipped away at the deficit, setting the stage for one of the most dramatic finishes of the series. It wasn't until later in the second period that the Assadi Consulting Inc finally broke through. S. Assadi put his team on the scoreboard, giving Assadi the spark it desperately needed and breathing new life into the comeback attempt. United still held the advantage, but the momentum was beginning to shift. Then came a frantic third period. In the blink of an eye, the Assadi Consulting Inc erased the remainder of the deficit. P. Karvouriaris struck first, followed quickly by T. Lebeau, as the two goals came in rapid succession and suddenly transformed the game into a brand-new contest. Just like that, the 3-0 United lead was gone. The game was tied 3-3, and Assadi had completed an impressive comeback from what had looked like an insurmountable hole. United, however, responded. L. Velenosi restored United's lead shortly afterward, putting the pressure right back on the Assadi Consulting Inc. With time winding down, United appeared to have weathered the storm and regained control of the game. But Assadi simply would not go away. With the game hanging in the balance, C. Gingras stepped up with a blistering wrist shot that found the back of the net and tied the game 4-4. The goal was another massive response from the Assadi Consulting inc, which had now fought back from three goals down not once, but repeatedly, refusing to allow United to pull away. At 4-4, the game appeared destined for overtime. Then P. Karvouriaris decided otherwise. With less than one second remaining on the clock, Karvouriaris unleashed a wicked wrist shot that beat the buzzer and United's hopes of closing out the series. The late tally sent the Assadi bench into celebration and delivered one of the most dramatic endings imaginable.
