San Diego falls short in semi-final

[Scurvy 1,488]

The San Diego Marlins couldn’t hold on in a game 7 showdown with a powerful Ottawa Lynx team.  Losing 6-5 with a devastating goal by Alf Larsson with under two minutes to go cut short a cinderella playoff for the surging Marlins. 

 

The game was a back-and-forth effort with both teams playing desperate hockey.  The first period had the Marlins up 2-1 with a great defense to defense set up goal by Maxwell Mathias from Tavish Degroot.   

 

The second period was a defensive battle and Ottawa’s Jason Lejeunesse scored a power play goal set up by Bradley Buzzer and standout star, Max Torq.  

 

The third period was everything that makes VHLM hockey so great.  A back-and-forth battle of scoring with goals by standout stars Christopher Young.  The game went down to the wire and with less than two minutes left Ottawa scored the game winner. 

 

A great effort by both teams had the fans out of their seats the entire third period.  Hats off to a relentless San Diego Marlins goalie Bubbles Utonium who stopped 38 of 44 shots with some amazing saves.  

 

Best of luck to Ottawa in the finals.
