Second period action got heavy quick, as the Lightning tied the game when Lil' number 10 skated uncontrollably down the court then managed to sneak a flapping wrist shot past Big Chris. With the score even at 2-2, Dodos hockey managed to kill two penalties before surrendering the go-ahead goal to USC Guy (who honestly should be in a higher division, but technicalities), who skated past the Dodos defense as though they were standing still.
The struggles for the Dodos continued into the third period when Number 27 from the Lightning scored a power play goal to put them on top 4-2. The Dodos would not go away quietly however, as evident when Hibarger scored his second goal of the game with an assist from Pat Henninger. But, the Lightning proved to be too much for the Dodos as USC Guy scored his second unassisted goal of the game to solidify the championship with a 5-3 victory.
The regular season standings: Wings 6-2, Lightning 5-3, H Rollers 3-5, Dodos 2-6. The Dodos flew under the radar and slid into the finals after knocking off the number one seeded Wings last Thursday in the first round of the playoffs. Can't wait 'til next season!
