Well, this series just keeps getting better and for the fans
that is a bonus as the second round match up between Markham and St Michael's
will now go at least five games on the heels of a 2-1 overtime victory by the
Buzzers. The big story of this game was unbelievable goaltending at both
ends of the rink that saw chance after chance turned away by the masked men in
the crease.
After a scoreless first period, Markham opened the scoring
midway through the game when Kevin Cribari would bag the only Waxers goal of
the evening. Assisted by Mike Standon and
Liam Bowen, Cribari finished
off a shift of strong forechecking when his centering pass deflected in to the
net off a Buzzers' skate.
The third period saw the Buzzers came hard at the Waxers and
they held the majority of the play until they tied the score with 2:49 left in
regulation. After that, the Waxers seemed to get off their heels and took
the game to the Buzzers generating a number of excellent chances the rest of
the way only to shoot wide or be stopped by the Buzzers' goalie. St
Mike's forced game five when they capitalized off a Waxer turnover in the
neutral zone and zoomed in on a 2-on-1. Waxers' goalie Scott Gray stopped
the initial shot but the rebound was ripped past him for the winning goal.
Game five goes Friday night in Markham. It will be
interesting to see if the level of play from last night can continue after such
an emotional affair for both teams.
