Ice Squids Game 5 - Home Ice Advantage

Victory.

Energized by a rowdy home crowd, the Squids finally broke through.

In the first period, the Squids took their first lead of the season. After I cunningly drew a penalty by placing the back of my neck in the path of an opposing stick, the Squids capitalized, making it 1-0.

The Muskies came back with 2 goals in the second period, and appeared to have the Squids on the ropes. But, for once, the Squids refused to lie down. Just 39 seconds after falling behind 2-1, the Squids struck again. Then, with under a minute left in the period, the Squids would take the lead for good.

In the third period, the HUG (Hendrey-Udvari-Galligan) line finally got in on the action when Joe U fired a rocket of a slapshot through the 5 hole to give the Squids a 4-2 lead and put the game on ice.

Pat is crazy.
