Perfect season already lost

So the Storm won't be going 20-0 this season but they still are undefeated. The Storm had to come from behind to gain a tie against a feisty Etobicoke Dolphin team. The first period was pretty one-sided as the Storm seemed to have been able to carry over the momentum from the tournament over the weekend. However, despite having a considerable margin in play, the game was scoreless at the end of the first period.

In the second period the Dolphins were able to take a 1- lead on a Storm turnover with the the North York forwards trapped in the offensive zone. However, Sheri was able to bang in a rebound later in the period to tie the game up. In the third the Dolphins took the lead again with some aggressive forechecking that forced a turnover. The game remained that way until the last 2 minutes of the game. Etobicoke took a hooking penalty and the Storm pulled the goalie on the powerplay. With 23 seconds remaining in the game Mari jammed in a rebound to preserve the tie. The second time this season that the Storm tied up a game with the goalie pulled for an extra attacker.
