Heading into the 2nd half of the Squirrels Tuesday night match v. The Real C Team, things were looking tense for the Squirrels as they clung to a precarious one touchdown lead.  Try as they may, the Real C Team goalie stonewalled the Squirrels on opportunity after opportunity to keep the game within a single touchdown. As a result, an elated Jeff Ford celebrated with great emotion as he notched the 11th goal of the game to put the Real C Team down by another field goal.  Meanwhile, on the other end of the rink, Stu Miller had a spectacular night in net, stopping close to 50% of the 2 shots on goal he faced.  “I was seeing the puck real well tonight and had all of my angles covered.” said Miller after the game.  Despite the close score, Vice President and General Manager Ben Sumner reported that Tuesday night’s victory was the most lopsided victory in Squirrels history.

The Squirrels have been playing against goaltender Ryan Meeks for years, and usually get the better of him due to the lopsided shot count. Wednesday, the Squirrels once again had a lopsided shot count, 38-24, but fell to the lowly Real C Team, 5-4, as Patrick Reilly scored four times.

Aside from a Rob Myers’ shorthanded goal, Kyle Gassert was the only one who could routinely get the puck past Meeks, and did so three times.
