~ C Game Recap - Game 6 - 01/19/06 vs King Built Whalers- 2/4 Loss

Thursday night....Jan. 19th, 2006.....the game the world was waiting for....teammate vs teammate....friend vs friend.....brother vs brother....good vs evil.....lover vs lover....D5 vs King Built Whalers....(for those not in the loop the King Built team features many former and present D5 players)

The tension was thick as the sold out Z-Rink prepared for the game. Unfortunately D5 goalie Scottie Jongebloed was still on the IR with his knee injury....before the game D5 signed new goalie Jessie Chabot to free-agent contract.

The first half was as promised a tremendous battle...both goalies playing awesome and kept the game a scoreless struggle. D5 killed off a couple of penalties as the game started to become one that legends are made of. The first half ended without a goal......

The second half started off with more of the same, with both goalies stealing the show until D5 defenseman Chad Matthews buried a point shot (7th of the season). With D5 now controlling the play they forced the whalers into taking a series of penalties. D5 hoped to get some insurance and start to put the game away....unfortunatly King Built was not having it...they not only survived the penalties but added two showcase shorthand goals both by Jason Ferreira (who plays on the D5 B2 team). D5 was desperately scrambling to get back into the game. With just over two minutes in the game D5 forward Dan Mokrycki scored to tie the game. (team leading 11th goal). King Built was not swayed by the comeback and scored just second later as Jason Ferreira capped his hat-trick. In the final minute Jay added a 4th empty net goal to seal the win.....

Post game the Z-Rink fans were going nuts realizing they had just seen an amazing example of well fought hockey.....
