Miami Marauders vs Philadelphia Reapers: Game 267

 

With every point needed by the Philadelphia Reapers to help secure them a playoff spot, this game was a good opportunity for the Reapers to show why they deserved a spot at the playoff table.

Unfortunately things didn’t go as planned as they fell to defeat by a score of 5-1. The game was for all intents and purposes over by the first intermission as Miami had a 4-1 advantage. The fact that the Marauders were able to score 2 short-handed goals in less than a minute set the stage for the final outcome. Interestingly the fact that the 1st period saw the flurry of scoring, it also only saw 1 penalty, against Toby Cook from Miami for Holding Stick.

The shots were also heavily in Miami’s favor as they outshot the Reapers 38-17. Miami took almost as many shots in the 1st period (14) as Philly did in the whole game.

The Philadelphia Reapers are fighting to make the postseason, but results like this will make it more difficult for them to hold onto that vital 4th spot in the Eastern Conference.
