Game two of the young season was another late night game for D5 as they took a 11pm faceoff versus the world-famous guppies. As all true D5 fans know, D5 has a storybook like rivarly with the Guppies which most fans agree is more heated, exciting, and dramatic than even the Yankees - Red Sox one.....( by the way...its a lock....NY Yankees 2006 World Series Champs....#27 )

The game started off with a flurry of action as both team tried to get the upper hand. Guppies struck first to take the one-zip lead. D5 fought back getting the next two on goals by Dan Gould and Steve Gould. Guppies were able to knot the game at two just a few minutes later. The Guppies added a back breaker goal with under a minute left in the half on a power play goal to finish the half with a 3-2 lead.

In the second half D5 threw everything they had at the Guppies but strong goaltending and defense kept D5 off the board and fustrated. At the other end equally solid goaltending by D5 goalie Mike Rinaldi kept D5 in the game. With 4 minutes left in the game the Guppies scored again to take the two goal lead and pack up the game.

D5 will be back in action next tuesday at 8 pm versus the Fire-Ants.
