In the most bizarre finish of the season, the Screaming Squirrels survived in a shootout to beat the High Rollerz, 5-4, though there was plenty of opportunity to close out the game in regulation.

Up by a goal in the last minute of the game, the High Rollerz had their goalie pulled. Matt Ekenci had the puck with an empty net in front of him. The whistle blew.

The refs somehow called Don Marks for an interference penalty well behind the play, after a High Rollerz player backed into him and fell in the Squirrels crease. Of course, the High Rollerz scored on the ensuring power play.

But the Squirrels re-took the lead 11 seconds later.

And then the High Rollerz tied the game again ten seconds after that. No more goals were scored in the final 17 seconds, and the teams went to a shootout.

Sean Pollack scored and Stu Miller kept all three attempts out of the net and the Squirrels skated to victory.

In a game with plenty of shots but only two goals, the High Rollerz needed a two-round shootout to topple the Squirrels. Stu Miller made 33 saves in net while Don Marks scored the lone goal for the Squirrels.

With just two subs on the bench, the Squirrels played well defensively against a tired High Rollers team, but fell in the fourth round of the shootout. Vivek Pinto scored in the first period for the Squirrels, and Stu Miller made 17 saves in net, including three more in the shootout, but the Squirrels at least got a point out of it.

The Squirrels found yet another odd way to win, giving up four leads throughout the game but scoring with only three seconds remaining for a 5-4 win against a very determined High Rollers team. With 8 seconds remaining in a tie game, Vivek Pinto chipped in a shot to seal the victory. It was his second goal of the game. Mark Tessar also scored twice, with Casey Carpenter also scoring.
