In their first game in the Bronze 1 division in more than a year, the Screaming Squirrels faced a fresh-faced old foe, Blades of Steel, who not only had many new players but also had 17 skaters on the bench.
The Squirrels hung with them, though, at least for two periods, leading 2-1 when BoS scored with less than a second remaining in the second period. Not too long into the third, the Squirrels than gave BoS another gift, going down 3-2, which proved to be the Squirrels’ undoing.
The Squirrels scored twice in the second period, once off of a turnover and a deflected shot by Rob Myers and Ben Sumner, and again on Brent Machado’s breakaway, where he went five-hole on Adam Hart.
