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.

Squirrels Win Inline Championship

Posted on by

The Screaming Squirrels won their third roller championship, and first in six years, with a come-from-behind victory against the top-seeded Jesters, 3-2, on Thursday.

Down 2-0 at the half, the Squirrels caught a break in the second when the Jesters – one of the least penalized teams in the league – went down two men on hooking and charging calls. That’s when yet another Don Marks slap shot (he’s had several lately) struck the net to cut the Jesters’ lead to 2-1.

After killing Ben Sumner’s hooking penalty, the Squirrels tied the game as Eric Smith connected with Brian Iciek to tie the game. Less than two minutes later, Iciek struck again – giving him a team-leading six goals in the playoffs – which gave the Squirrels a 3-2 lead down the stretch.

The game was hardly over. The Jesters drew a four-minute high-sticking penalty with about three minutes remaining in the game, meaning they’d have an opportunity to tie and then win the game on the power play. But stellar penalty killing, plus two drawn penalties by Juan Canchasto and Mark Tessar in the waning seconds, actually gave the Squirrels a 3-on-2 power play as time ticked down.

Stew Miller made 18 saves to keep the Squirrels in the game.

It was also a sweet moment for new Squirrels Steven Heger and Ed Owen, who was out on injured reserve. Their previous team, the Hurricanes, ended up sharing the 2003 championship with the Squirrels when the best-of-three series was cut short due to Hurricane Isabel. Two seasons later, the two teams were destined for a rematch but an awful upset against the top-seeded Hurricanes in the semifinals paved the way for a Squirrels victory in the finals against the Chupacabres. After that, the Hurricanes moved up a level, then disbanded this year as the Squirrels picked up their former foes.

Sumner, Marks, Rob Myers and Chi Pham were the only players to win all three championships with the roller Squirrels. It was the second for Canchasto and Jeff Ford.

The Squirrels are already looking forward to next season and looking to be just as good.
