Not much chattah on this one either. The word is that the game was a 1-1 tie and the Suds had taken it to the Cats all night but just couldn't get over the top.

Here is a quick recap from Dan Gregson:
So on D we had Goody, Bauer, Daley, and Roman The forward lines were Matvey(left) Baker (centre) Gregson(right) Joe(left) Nelson(Centre) AK(Right) and Matty floated through the lines.
I know we had the first goal and I probably had an assist or 2 on it. I think Joe scored it, but not really sure. They scored at some point in the second.
Scoreless 3rd.
They had the cooperall pants guy and some guy with gray socks that were their puck carriers but it seemed like we had the upper hand the whole game. The goalie was giving up some juicy rebounds but we couldn't convert. They had 1 penalty and we had 0. Overtime was 5 minutes no scoring then it went to shootouts and I don't even know who was in that but I think they got 3 goals in and we only got 1.
The 4th period was road sodas due to everyone bailing and the state trooper hanging out in the lot.
Oof Thanks Dan. Here's more info here from Goody:
We lost 2-1 (1-1 after regulation overtime). We def. outplayed them for 90% of the game and had 1 misplay that led to their goal.
I know Goody choked on one of our penalty shots, which they beat us in the SO 2-0 I think AK had the only goal assisted from Nelson.

Thank you for the words guys. Here's another good wrap from Roman:
1-1 tie after regulation and overtime. Generally we carried the play, just could not put the puck in the net. For some reason it escapes me who scored f or us, but i was on the ice for their tally.
They didn't have many chances and the one that they scored on was a broken play. Refs called off the icing at the last moment so i was hustling to get to the puck in our zone, but guy on their team was just a big quicker to the puck behind our net and tossed it to the front of our net. Goody and the guy from their team was there and Goody prevented the initial shot, unfortunately puck took a bounce and Jon was prepared for the shot and not for this bounce. So the puck bounced right back to the guy with Jon out of position so he had an open net to shoot at. Unlucky.

They didn't have much more then that. Jon played well. It felt like we were losing our legs towards the end of the game and were stuck in our zone. Overtime was much better but again we could not capitalize.
Shootout did not go well, they scored twice and we got zip. That's that. Baker was pretty good at faceoff circle, we had a bunch of shots from the point, but someone their goalie got them all even through traffic. Defensive pairings were Daley - Eric, Goody-Roman. Nelson and Baker at center.

Thanks man. Well... not a great start to the playoffs. Shame we couldn't pull that one out. Hopefully the Zombies will fare better in their first game.
