These guys had rockets on their skates and were using St. Pierre #38 as target practise. I think for a while that St. Pierre #38 was shell shocked, this was his ninth straight start and it looked as though it was finally catching up to him.
The end of the first period it was 3-2 Aviators with scoring by Bernier #18, Jesse Felten #20 and Owsiak # 11. Let me tell you that there was no grass under the skates of the BlueFins at all.
I have to take off my Santa hat for Billy Tibbett's #23 of the Bluefins, he still has his moves and he sets up his teammates quite a bit. Tibbett's #23 who is no kid anymore seems to be the spark plug for the Cape Cod BlueFins.
Second period was just as good as the first was, Both teams were still flying like they were in the first. Hitting was crisp and clean which I must commend both teams for showing their skills. There was a small disagreement between Ronayne #3 for the A's and Lun #10 for the BlueFins, both received penalties for their efforts. Seems as if Mr. Lun was on the short end of the stick and seen holding ice packs on his face, we wish him well.
Our goalie St. Pierre #38 was pulled from service and Peter Dundivich #31 took his turn between the orange pipes. At the end of two the score was 5-4 in favor of the BlueFins. Schott #10 just acquired from Danbury scored for Aviators to bring us with in one goal of a tie.
Third period was another great hockey game of skating and skills for all concerned. There was no scoring till 10:02 of the third when Baumgartner #18 found the back of the net and tied the game at 5 all. The Hanger went wild and the fans just loved it.
There were close calls around the goal for both sides but none found the net. Can you say three on three in OT? Overtime period, short and sweet. Owsiak #11 found the back of the net only 39 seconds into the OT period.
Seems like a bit of sweet revenge from when the BlueFins did the same to us, how sweet it is!
I would like to wish everyone a very, very Merry Christmas and a healthy New year in 2012 from Brooklyn, New York. Home of the Brooklyn Aviators.
