Aces Can't Reverse Teal Curse in Shoot Out Loss to CBK

It seems so long ago that the Aces fell to CBK in overtime, shootout fashion. The last time the Flying Aces were in an overtime, shootout situation before that was a June 1st win against the same CBK. Now let's go back to last season when CBK swept the Aces. Or the three seasons before that which were owned by the Aces. It's a true C league rivalry. Both teams trading wins, goals and respect for one another. And it's always a thrilling goalie matchup. But back to the Aces' second loss of the season. Kevin Smith scored a beauty off a pass from 'Shock and Awe' line mate Mike Petersen. Nick Minarik was on his game, allowing only one goal in three periods of play and an overtime. The Aces' D was also in tune. The sudden death shootout loss was fast and painful. CBK took 2 points and the win while the Melick Flying Aces of Flemington had to settle for 1 point. But at 5-1-1 the Aces are still in first and have a chance to take down the only other team to beat them this season. The Bombers Hockey Club. And oh did the Bombers beat them. They scored 11 goals on a sloppy Ace team (that did manage to score four goals of their own) with a backup goalie brought up from the Perkasie Red Barons. The Bombers also took the AS cup from Ace home ice. Well tonight at 7:30, the Flying Aces attack Bombardier Arena, hoping to grab the 'AS' and the 'W'. Captain Darren Jones is out with a lower body injury, along with healthy scratches, Brown, Donahue, Kutsznier and Stockwell. Mike Petersen will be stepping up to fill the Captains spot, setting the lines and running the pre-game chalk-talk. Kyle Turner was cleared to play by team doctors and will be out on the ice making up for lost time. Acting Captain Mike P has called for the Teal jerseys. So the Aces will once again try to get a season 5 win in teal (0-1-1 in Teal and 5-0 in grey). The Ace EuroVan(5-1-2) will be leaving the Ace Pickup Zone at 6:30 PM. Bleck's got 'the case'.
