Great opening to the "Tender" series as both teams were fully stacked and ready to go. Team Jordie took a commanding lead as they peppered Goulart going up more than 5 goals before the game began. Despite the bizarre, 17 PTS, Alpaugh - Devies - A. Klimowicz line trying to set the game pace, the steam engine has ran out of coal just before the first half of the game.
A little shuffle in the lineup by Garnett going on the offence and Spence dropping back created a spark for the flood gates coming open.
Rookie to the league, Corbiel, potted a hatty, with Herman setting up all 3 and one for Garnett. <br><br>
But it didn't stop there. The second line brought on more arsenal, as Jordie was finding himself helpless at the other end as Tigert (2G 2A), Carducci (2G 3A) and yes, even Cervoni, broke through on the board (1G 2A) to put up a total of 12 points.
Spence was also happy to show off his skills on the ice in front of his girlfriend, as he riffled his 8th goal of the season past Jordie.
With the next and pivotal game in the series coming up, teams will re-group and replay the second game before the only break in our season.
"...couldn't have done it without the help of my teammates who battled hard all game especially in the beginning.." said Goulart about his mates adding "I'd like to have some of those back...".
With a strong finish, Goulart said that "Jordie played a hell of a game ... solid all the way thru and cheers to that!" prepping the ice for an interesting next game.
