Zombies tied up by Shock

Cadavers (4) vs Shock

Monday May 24th

Canton 9:20pm

5-5 Tie

The blogger wasn’t in house for this one… and there were no guest blog contributions, but we will have a semi game story nontheless. Thanks to a well completed game scoresheet we have a good idea of how this one went down. Kudos therefore right off the bat Larry Hudson, Canton scorekeeper extraordinaire.

This was apparently a pretty good matchup, but the dead in Red felt that they let one slip away that they should have had. Team Zombie led most of the night only to succumb to the Shock in the end and finished up with a tie.

Lets check the roster.

Matt CEOBMF in Net

D: DWH, Eric Bauer, Reynolds, Daley (?)

O: Baker, Hammitt, Elliot, Shah, Sharfman, Nikhamik, Capraro and Kurin

A good group to be sure, and the Red had some confidence to start off.

Capraro would lead off scoring with a a goal from DWH just 3 minutes into the first.

The Shock would counter with a goal at the ten minute mark to pull even.

Hammitt would score, assisted by Matvey just under the six minute mark and the period would end 2-1 Red.

Hammit would continue to roll and would score the first goal of the second, this time assisted by Neil and the Red would lead 3-1 just two minutes into the second.

The Shock didn’t stay down though, and they countered with another goal just a minute later. They would also see three penalties before the end of the period.

The Red would take advantage and get the lead out to 2 again when Mike Daley would score from Matt Elliott with 6 minutes left in the period. Good guys 4-2 at the end of two.

Dan with Hands Herbert (DWH) would lead off the third the right way and would score unassisted at 14:32. This meant a three goal lead for Team Zombie, but unfortunately it also meant the Shock had them right where they wanted them.

The Shock would take the next 3 penalties, one a misconduct and then things really started to change. Neil went for a highstick that looks like a match to one of those Shock penalties, but regardless when those penalties expired The Electric Company would take over.

Scoring at 9:35 they would bring it back to 5-3. Then the Shock scored again at 4:13 and again at 2:13 to tie the game. Apparently a torrid comeback from three goals down to tie up the Zombies… and that’s how this one would end. 5-5.

Sounded like a whiz bang of a game, too bad about the total collapse.

I’m thinking no game stars.

…nice to see the CEO back on the ice…
