The game seemed to be on an even keel through the first half with both teams exchanging goals here and there. Most notably a tick tack play started by Dejaan as he fell to the ice on what seemed to be a dirty hit. Not one to give up on the play slides the puck to the Italian Stallion Christopher "Crossbar" Cervoni, who made a fancy no look pass to Dan Tiggert who buried the biscuit from the slot to secure Cervoni’s 100th Career point with Hockey Life.
Tensions were high until Shawn Herman fell on the puck while trying to retrieve the milestone rubber for his teammate. When asked for comment he simply said "I think I tore my sack".
Cleary offended with the puck thievery, Team Green unleashed their big guns sending Devries, Osman and Alpaugh out to just "Globetrotter" the White defensive pairing of Herman and Brown. More often than not, when Goalie Mat Lunnen looked up, he would find only one white defender and three green shirts on several occasions. As if that power line wasn't dangerous enough, defensive aid was never too far behind when the puck would trickle to Dman Demelo, only to find its way into the back of the net three times.
Just when momentum would start to swing in White's direction, a turnover would hand control of the game back to Green. White was able to prevent goals on several of their turnovers, but were not able to stop the Quarter Hour (15 points total) Line. One breakout pass meant for Ryan Wiggle from defenseman Herman was intercepted by Devries, who then skated into the slot and buried the puck. When asked for comment after the game Herman was quoted by saying "I think I tore my sack".
In the end the Green team walked away with a 10 3 victory, getting support from 5 players and a stellar goaltending effort courtesy or Jordie Margison.
