Squirrels 6, Heat 5

The Squirrels won what at one point had the making of a blowout, but slowly became a nail-biter Monday in a thrilling 6-5 win against the Howard County Heat.

The Squirrels got off to a bad start, however, as they took a penalty only 14 seconds into the game and gave up a power play goal.

Jon Danziger tied it before the Squirrels took a couple more penalties. That turned out fine, however, as Amy Reich (who returned from injury) and Tero Moberg each scored shorthanded only 7 seconds apart. Brent Machado then scored less than a minute after that to put the Squirrels up 4-1 going into the second period.

Two more goals by Machado gave the Squirrels a commanding 6-1 lead with about half the game remaining. The Heat scored two quick goals to cut the lead to 6-3 going into the third, then scored two more with more with more than 8 minutes remaining.

The Squirrels killed off the rest of the game like a penalty, staving off what could’ve been an embarrassing Heat comeback and avenging a 7-2 loss to back in January.

It was the third win in a row for the Squirrels.

After losing to Howard County Heat 11-2 back in December, the Squirrels knew they’d have their work cut out for them Sunday while only playing with eight skaters. But something was different. The Squirrels, who were down to one sub after Neil Shah skated away with an injury in the third period, exploded for four goals in the second period, and HCH couldn’t keep up in a 6-2 win.

Brent Machado and Charles Warner each scored a pair for the Squirrels, while Tero Moberg and Shah had the other. Merritt Lyon made 38 saves.

Howard County Heat 11, Squirrels 2

The Squirrels got crushed Sunday, playing against first place and too-good-for-Bronze Howard County Heat, 11-2. The first period wasn’t so bad, though, as the Squirrels were only down 2-1, with one of the Heat’s goals coming off a lucky bounce along the boards that should’ve gone all the way around but instead came straight to a player in the middle.

Jon Danziger and Don Marks scored for the Squirrels.
