Game Recap

HIGHLIGHTS:


     Playoffs are here!!! The Hammerheads - defending champions, and the Usual Suspects are in the playoffs again (as in the last season meeting) but this time around it is the best of 3 series to determine who wins it all.
     The Hammerheads started the game with a quick goal by Craig Wallace in the first minute. Jeff Brezovec added another one 4,5 minutes later with a nice shoot from the blue line. The Usual Suspects cut the deficit in goals to one just 1,5 minutes later on a break away. But before the first intermision, the Hammerheads created some breathing room - Brent Jenkins scored one more goal to make it 3:1.
     Second period was scoreless and it was still too early to call the game. If the Usual Suspects score one in the third then it's again a one-goal game. So, the Hammerheads had to come out strong in the third period and secure the win. And they did! First, Roman Gendler scored a shorthanded goal making it 4:1. And then, with one minute to go, Craig Wallace scored his second of the night!
     The Hammerheads scored five goals but none of them would've happened if not for the magic touch of Ken Anstey - he assisted on all five goals !!! And if it wasn't for the goalie Rik Kirchner the score could have been much different. He had 14 saves on 15 shots and the only goal he allowed was on a break away. (Thanks to the Sting who loaned him to the Hammerheads for the first two playoff games.)
     Well, the Hammerheads are one step away from winning the championship second season in a row. The next (and maybe the final) game of the Winter 2001-2002 season is Sunday, April 21, in San Mateo Ice Challet, at 10:30 pm. There are still seats available to watch this game live although you may prefer to stay at home and watch it on ESPN2 (taped).
