The Wrap: Snickas vs. Mississauga Mooseheads

Mooseheads 6, Snickas 6!!!

Where to start, where to finish??? Snickas never led but were denied the win in the final seconds; it was a wild night in Brampton.
In their first ever meeting Snickas and the Mooseheads lit the lamp for 12 goals! Defence was nowhere to be found at either end and both goalies made just enough saves to keep their teams from losing.

The result favoured Snickas more than the Mooseheads because Snickas came back from three (3-1, 5-3 & 6-4) 2 goal deficits to force the tie. In what was one of their finest offensive performances Snickas showed the heart of Champions in rallying from behind and were extremely unlucky not to take all the points. After tying the game with 36 ticks left, Snickas looked to have stolen the game with 5 seconds to go. The puck went in a split second before the net was dislodged according to the Snicka forwards but the Referees disallowed the goal. It was a real bang-bang play and without the benefit of video replay Snickas were denied the win.

Snickas Scoring:
Goals:
Chris Morton 2(6,7), Paul Stinnett 2(8,9), Chris Murdoch (4), & Pete Hogan (1)
Assists: Craig Morton 3(13,14,15), Darren Steedman 3(6,7,8), Paul Stinnett (7), Dave Pearson (2), Neil Townsend (11), Gary Hogan & Kevin Wright.
