Sunday April 14 (Playoffs Round 1)
(6)Lynx vs Fatal Demons (4)
Fatal Demons rally only to fall short in third period
The Fatal Demons rallied-from a three goal deficit, but ultimately fell to the Lynx on Sunday night. After trailing 3-0 only five minutes in, the Fatal Demons scored three straight to eventually even the score. Unfortunately, the momentum was cut once the third period hit. The Lynx were glad to have A.Abbandonato strike twice in only three minutes to regain control of the match. With so much on the line, the Lynx made sure to not repeat the same mistake. The win advances the Lynx into the net round where they'll take on the Slayers in a best of three semi final series. The match ups are as follows:
(1)Slayers vs Lynx(4) The Slayers got where they are by dominating the regular season and will look to continue their trend. For the Lynx, they will have no choice but to adjust the way they play. Rather than playing high octane run and gun hockey, tight defence in their own zone along with stellar goaltending -from S.Catalano is a bear requirement in order to have a chance.
(2)Icons vs Shockers (3) Many may be suggesting the Icons to advance in this round. But let's not forget that the Shockers have two solid lines that can put up serious numbers. There shouldn't me much separating the two teams up front. Just like in the other series, solid defence and goaltending should determine the difference.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to A.Abbandonato of the Lynx. At a crucial time during the game, A.Abbandonato came through posting two big third period goals to help lead his club past the Fatal Demons.
