Playoffs: Squirrels 7, 5 Holes 0

Posted on by

Two years removed as co-champions with the Hurricanes, the Screaming Squirrels are going back to the championship game, and they earned the opportunity Tuesday with a 7-0 trouncing of the 5-Holes, a team that finished ahead of them in the standings and beat them twice this season.

Jeff Ford and Ben Sumner together had five goals, and Kit Watson had three assists to lead the Squirrels to victory. Watson, Don Marks, Tony Richelsen and Desi Richelsen shut down the 5-Holes on defense, and Bob Sewell had 15 saves for the shutout.

In the other semi-final earlier in the evening, the Chupacabras upset the top-seeded Hurricanes, 1-0, putting the third and fifth-place teams in the championship game. The Squirrels are 2-0-1 against them this season.

The championship game is Thursday at 9:30 p.m.

Playoffs: Squirrels 5, Fish 2

The last time the Screaming Squirrels played the Fish, they gave up three goals in the last few minutes to turn a sure victory into an embarrassing loss. The Fish were in position to do the same thing Thursday, but the Squirrels tightened up on defense and held on for a 5-2 win in the playoff quarterfinals.

The Fish scored first, but Ed Bager and Don Marks gave the Squirrels a 2-1 lead after the first period. In the second half, Jeff Ford was alone in front of the net and put in his own rebound to give the Squirrels a 2-goal cushion. The Fish fought back, scoring shorthanded to cut the lead to 3-2. Rob Myers then scored on the same power play and the lead was back to 2, still surmountable as the Squirrels have learned. But the Squirrels held the Fish scoreless in the last 5:27 of the game, and killed a late penalty. Marks capped off the game with an empty-netter as the buzzer sounded.

Bob Sewell, who is listed on both teams’ rosters, made 28 saves for the Squirrels, who posted 24 shots of their own.

The Squirrels will now play last year’s runner-ups, the 5-Holes, on Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. The first-place Hurricanes will play the Chupacabras in the other semifinal game.

Wade Marks and Rob Myers will be missing the rest of the playoffs. Marks is moving to Montana for a job, but says he is still leaving the option open to return to play for the ice team.

Playoffs: Panic 8, Squirrels 3

Posted on by

Playing their third game in four nights, the Screaming Squirrels had more skaters than usual Wednesday, as they took one last shot at getting any satisfaction out of this season. The Panic, however, put the Squirrels out of their misery with an 8-3 victory to advance to the next round of the playoffs.

Like Honkey Kong on Tuesday, Panic had a single player who factored into all of their critical scoring. No. 51, David Yermal, had five goals and one assist, almost single-handedly taking down the Squirrels.

The Squirrels, however, struck first, as Sergio Balatan carried the puck deep into the zone and centered directly to Phil Van der Vossen, who flipped the puck between the goaltender’s legs. Yermal scored a few minutes later and the game was tied at 1 after the first period.

In the second period, Yermal took over, scoring three more times and assisting on another as Panic took a 5-1 lead. With six minutes remaining in the game, Van der Vossen caused Panic’s goaltender to misplay the puck, and it went in as the Squirrels cut the lead to 5-2. Yermal answered with another goal, and then Ben Sumner did moments later, frustrating Panic’s goaltender. Panic then scored two more times late in the third period and that was it.

Sumner, Van der Vossen, Balatan, Don Marks, Adam Hughes, Matt Borlik, Greg Wenograd, Chris Long, Juan Canchasto, Chi Pham, and Drew Thiemann played for the Squirrels. Thiemann played defense as the Squirrels used a substitute goaltender.

The Squirrels finished the season 2-18, their worst record ever. They scored only 46 goals while giving up 159. Ben Sumner led the team in total scoring with 21 points including 13 goals. Matt Borlik led the team in assists with 9.

The fall/winter season will begin in mid-September. The Squirrels will be in a new division and will be skating several new players, including roller teammates Rob Myers, Ed Bager and Tony Richelson. Brian Jackson of the Panic is also expected to join the team.
