Coyotes Beat Napanee to Advance to Championship Game
Game 4 Semi Final Game was at 10:30 against the Napanee Stars.
Napanee scored first with about 4:45 left in the first period but Caleb Pascoe tied it up shortly after with 2:33 left in the first. Jack Murtha scored our second goal of the game making it 2-1 (Sorry no assists noted). Then Napanee tied it up with 5:53 left in the second. We were prepared to go into the third period tied 2-2 but Sammy scores to take the lead with 1.7 seconds left in the second! The place went crazy!! The third period is a fast paced, roller coaster and then Napanee scores with 9:53 left to tie it 3-3. With 4:53 left in the game, and Emma and I pacing in the lobby, Napanee scores on a power play to take the lead 4-3. I'm not sure I can properly convey the excitement and anxiety that this back and forth game radiated. Our amazing coaches, once again, decide to pull Sully with 2 minutes left in the game because we need a goal! Our hearts sank when they got control of the puck and shot it down the ice toward the empty net but Sully's lucky goal post did us a favor and spit it back out. With our extra attacker on the ice, Jack Murtha scores to tie the game up 4-4 with just 56 seconds left in the game. Whooo Hoooo!!! We are going into Overtime! The boys play the first 10 minute overtime with no score. You can imagine the anticipation in the stands! Lots of back and forth and hard work and with 1:16 left in the second overtime, Chase Mumford scores the winning goal!! We are off to the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!! Player of the game goes to Nash McGill!
