A Noble Effort by Purple Rocks! Against A Determined Red
Red 2 - Purple Rocks! 1
Still reeling from their first crushing loss of the season against Purple Rocks!, Red was determined to avoid a repeat...
With both teams primed for the contest and battle-ready, Red took advantage of a few Purple lapses in the first period to open the scoring.
Goalie McMahon withstood a barrage of shots, showing great poise between the posts while stumping the Red marksmen with everything he had.
A series of 'penalties' against Purple prevented an offensive rally to even it up - still the penalty kills were perfect.
With 5 on 5 Red threaded the needle once more through a tight Purple defense to take a 2-goal lead.
Purple scored to make it a one-goal difference on a crash-of-the-net rebound stuffing by Carson Janik. However with another 'penalty' to the Rocks it was a little too late.
Overall it was a tight, entertaining and low-scoring contest ... Purple Rocks! were able to tame Red's recent trend of lopsided victories with solid game of heads-up hockey.
