GM 32: Family Night

[diacope 1,696]

Today's game against the House Bulls we saw the San Diego organization bring along family when they arrived, hoping to give their young team a momentum boost against a deadly Bulls team. 23 different family members from the players families arrived and the biggest crowd out of all of them was the Frobe family, bringing along 5 members of his direct family. In the 1st period they had something to cheer about when Szita blasted one past the goaltender on the power play near the end of a competitive period which would give the Marlins a 1-0 lead going into the 2nd. 

 

All family members were allowed in the dressing room and at the end of the period we saw almost half of them go meet up with their relatives, the other half rushed to the concession stands to get a better position in the line up. The siren rang and the families rushed back, In the second period we saw Houston dominate the young San Diego squad and didn't let them get a shot on net, after a even strength marker by Wilcox the Bulls tied the game and the crowd had something to cheer about, humbling the over zealous family members. 

 

In the 3rd period was the best bout of the night, the Marlins would go on and outplay their opponents but inexperience and endurance would catch up to them, they would let the game slip out of their hands after letting in 2 straight goals, they would give one last ray of hope when Duster scored and got his second power play point of the night but it was not enough. Family Night would end with a spectacular performance from the young guns and if San Diego were smart they would invite them to come along on games more often
