Maybe the legs weren't there after 5 games in 6 days and 9 games in 13 days. Maybe it was the lunar eclipse. Maybe it too much birthday cake the night before. We will likely never know the exact reason for the stinker of a game by the Storm. But they managed to get a point off of the Scarborough Sharks which keeps the Storm ahead of the pack.
After a very sloppy first period, things got worse in the second. Scarborough scored with only 31 seconds left in the period. But Sheri was able to jam a puck behind the Shark goalie only 24 seconds later to even the score with a period to go. In the third period, the Storm had several powerplays but could not take advantage of the opportunities. However, with with less than 2 minute left in the game Genevieve skated from behind the net and slipped the puck past the Shark goalie. Scarborough pulled their goalie in the last minute of the game and on failed clearing attempt got the tying goal with 38 seconds remaining in the game. The game ended 2-2 and the Storm undefeated streak stands at 9 games. Quite a contrast to the 9 game winless steak early in the season.
The current playdown standing are:
North York 3-0-1, 7 pts
Scarborough 1-0-3, 5 pts
Etobicoke 0-1-1, 1 pt
Leaside 0-3-1, 1 pt
The next games are Leaside vs. Etobicoke on Saturday at Centennial Park Arena at 8 pm and Etobicoke vs. Noth York on Sunday at Risk Arena at 10:15 am.
