Ice: Squirrels’ Season Ended

Posted on by

Despite having a strong season, the Squirrels let too many things get to them Thursday, resulting in a 4-2 loss in the first round of the playoffs to fifth-seeded Heineken Light

An unusually long layoff, a No. 4 seed while only being one point out of a tie for first, a short bench, and a lack of energy did them in.

The Squirrels did get on the board first as Don Marks found Tony Richelsen in front of the net for a first-period power play goal. Heineken struck back, and then again in the second period to take a 2-1 lead as the Squirrels found themselves drifting around the ice.

The third period got off to a horrible start as Heineken scored only 11 seconds into the period, then again after taking advantage of a long shift by the Squirrels. Tony cut the lead to 4-2 with plenty of time remaining in the game, but the Squirrels couldn’t muster any more offense.

The Squirrels are now setting their sights on the Winter season.

Squirrels 2, Piranhas 2

Posted on by

Playing their last game of the regular season against the first-place Piranhas, the Screaming Squirrels took a 2-1 lead into the last few minutes but ultimately settled for a 2-2 tie, which kept them from at least temporarily taking over first place in the division.

The Squirrels gave up a short-handed goal to the one guy who doesn’t know which jersey color to bring – John Kucharski – in the first period against sub goaltender Sergey Kocharov before finally finding the net in the third. After changing the forward line combinations after the second, Jon Danziger whistled a shot into the top-right corner to tie the game at 1. Later int he period, Ben Sumner stole the puck from Kucharski behind the net, found Mark Tessar out front who banged it in.

Later in the period, some rough stuff went down but it was ultimately Tessar who got the lone penalty. The Piranhas capitalized and the teams finished out the game tied at 2 apiece.

The Squirrels are now awaiting the results of the Scurvy and Bullets, who each have a game to play, to see where they’ll be seeded for the playoffs.

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.
