KC15 340 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 What a tense time last night in Calgary as the Wranglers tried to notch their fourth win in their series with the D.C. Dragons, take the best of seven series at home in front of their fans and advance to the second round of the VHL playoffs. In each of the first two periods neither team could find the back of the net and they entered the final period of play all knotted up at 0-0. It was certainly a grim moment for the D.C. faithful when the Wranglers RJ Jubis buried the puck at only 1:22 in the third. But who should come up big for the Dragons with a little less than half of the third to play, but the captain and two other clutch players from the regular season. It was George Washington with the goal assisted by the talented Elasmobranch Fish and the captain Mikko Aaltonen. Washington was a DC draftee just two years ago while Elasmobranch came to the nation’s capitol in free agency. Washington’s clutch goal was all the scoring there would be through the end of the third period sending the two teams into overtime. It was beginning to look like the teams’ snipers would go silent again when the crowd in Calgary was stunned by Aaltonen’s 2nd goal of the playoffs at 13:58. The Wranglers came in thinking the series was wrapped up and left with their heads hung low. Meanwhile, the Dragons’ players skated off the ice with a little extra zip in spite of the additional overtime play. 3-2 and the series goes back to the District. Go Dragons!

DoktorFunk 810 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 The Caps shut out the Lightning twice while at 3-2 position. Could another DC team do the same?
