Ice: Squirrels Get Big Win

Posted on by

Boosted by three goals by Don Marks, the Screaming Squirrels took a 4-1 lead into the third period and held on despite several penalties for a 5-4 win against one of the top teams in the division.

The Highlanders put 40 shots on backup goaltender Eric Coulson, but his 36 saves, and assist, were enough for the win.

The Squirrels scored four power play goals, gave up a short-handed goal, and gave up two power play goals in the third during a 5-minute major penalty.

Marks’ first and third goals came off slap-shots, with his second coming on an individual effort. All three were on the PP. Mark Tessar also scored on the first shift of the game when the goaltender made the initial save but the puck then bounced right over him. Jon Danziger also scored for the Squirrels.

With the win, the Squirrels jumped ahead into second in the standings.

Roller: Squirrels Dominate, Advance to Semi-Finals

Posted on by

It took a few minutes and a one-goal deficit before they settled in, but after that it was all Squirrels on Wednesday as they defeated the High Rollerz, 10-1, with the majority of the second period on a running clock. Each player had at least a point, and the Squirrels kept their cool when tensions got high. The Squirrels also killed another long two-man deficit in the second period.

The Squirrels advance to face District 5 Team Mylec, who upset the Whale, 3-2.

Squirrels Finish Regular Season in Second Place

The Screaming Squirrels needed to win Wednesday to keep any hope of capturing the top seed going into the playoffs, but the Jesters escaped with a victory over Silver Spring. The game was no waste of time, however, as the 5 Holes took a 4-3 lead into the first half before the Squirrels came alive in the second and outscored the 5 Holes 4-1. The Squirrels also killed off a crucial 4-on-2 power play late in the game for a minute and 30 seconds. Mark Tessar scored three goals for the Squirrels and led the team in scoring for the season with 17 goals and 18 assists.

The Squirrels won the game despite multiple scorekeeping screw-ups by former commissioner and ice referee Marcus Currie. He simply couldn’t keep the score straight on the console.

The Squirrels will play the High Rollerz on Wednesday, Aug. 3 at 8:30 p.m. in the first round of the playoffs.
