For the second night in a row the Monkeys found themselves down 2-0. After a Ian goal cut the lead to 2-1, the Crush added another to put them up 2 for the second time. Cutting away at a 3-1 deficit, the Monkeys collected goals from Brie & Christine to tie it up at 3-3. Then the Crush added 2 more goals to put us down by 2 AGAIN.
It was 5-3 with 3 minutes left when Darryl took the puck behind the then net & while being tripped up & laying on his side, made a pass in front of the net to a waiting Troy for a backhand goal to get them within 1. The Monkeys then took a time out with 45 seconds remaining. Pulled Deb ( our goalie ) & had our 6 freshest skaters out there. It was do or die time. Steve managed to win the face off back to Darryl who placed a perfect shot past the goalie & in the back of the net to tie the game seconds left. Pefect execution of a drawn up play!! In OT, G-low ( Scott ) ended the game with a nice shot, I don't remember exactly how it went in, just that it did. We celebrated & now it's on to the next game. GO MONKEYS!!
Ed. Note - Somewhere Captain Purple scored. It was late when I wrote this so I'm missing a goal somewhere. When the GSHL website posts it, I'll update this blog.
