~ B2 Game Recap - Game 2 - 12/13/05
vs Fireants- 3/8 Loss
Just hours before
D5 second game of the season, D5 made a strong move by
acquiring free agent Jason F. D5 signed Jason to
a one season contract for the 2005-2006 B2 winter season
said to be worth around 6 million. To D5 press Jason commented
that we was very excited for this opportunity and that
he turned down NHL contracts to play with D5. Great stuff....welcome
to the team Jason...
For the second game of the B2 season, D5 drew the always
tough Fireants. Before the game D5 learned that Luke
Jongebloed, Erich Harger, and Dave Aloi would all be healthy
scratches for the game. This left D5 with just 5 skaters
for the game.
D5 started the game strong with new comer Jason starting
the scoring at 13:35 of the first. In under a minute though
the course of the game would be dramatically changed....
I know all you Mighty Ducks fans out there remember in
D2 when the ducks played Iceland for the first time and
the Bash Brothers get kicked out in the first 2 minutes
and then the game goes all to hell....keep that in mind
as you finish reading the recap
D5 player Stephen Gould tried to lift up the stick of
a Fire Ant forward. Unfortunately the stick was missed.
Steve was given a 5 minute major and game misconduct for
the high stick that drew blood on the Fireant player.
The loss of Steve meant that D5 would have 4 skaters for
the rest of the game. Steve made it very clear to D5 press
following the game that the high stick was in no way intentional
he was simply trying to play the puck and that we has
sorry for the incident. (of note the fire ant skater was
able to return to the game)
Unfortunately
this accident would alter the game greatly though as the
fireants scored on the powerplay and through the rest
of the game took advantage of a tired D5 team. D5 did
put quite the effort though getting goals from Matthew
Gould and Daniel Gould, helpers from Jason F. and and
Daniel Mokrycki, and strong
goaltending from D5 goalie Chris Dragotta.
D5
will look to bounce back as the face the Seawolves next.
Of Note:
Shot on goal: Fireants:43 ~ D5:32
D5 had 23 minutes of penalties in the game
