Badly outplayed, the Squirrels still came only inches from winning Friday, as they fell to the lowly Home Visions, who celebrated as if they won the championship.
Tied 2-2, Mark Tessar scored on a slap shot in his final game with the Squirrels to give them the lead down the stretch. A late penalty gave Home Visions a power play, plus an extra skater with an empty net. The Squirrels nearly got it in, missing by inches, but Home visions tied the game with 30 seconds remaining, then scored once on the shootout for the win.
The Squirrels have fifth place locked up, but have one game remaining on Tuesday against Panic.
