Thursday night the 4-1-0 FLYING ACES skated against the
3-2-1 BOMBERS for the 17th A.S. Cup contest. The ACES lead overall 9 to 7. Mike
Gianetti was a healthy scratch. Matt Donahue brought the 'Ace case'.
After
a scoreless first period owned by the goalies, the ACES struck on a power
play midway through the 2nd. Kevin Smith's 12th goal of the season came from a
Steve Leoszewski pass. The BOMBERS bounced back early in the 3rd to knot it up
1-1. That score held until, with 6 minutes left in regulation, the BOMBERS
scored again for the 2-1 lead. Eric Kusznier scored next for the FLYING ACES,
but the goal was called off for goalie interference. After strongly objecting
the ruling, Kusznier received a game misconduct and was sent to the
lockers. As the FLYING ACES contemplated pulling their goalie, the
BOMBERS struck yet again. And down 3-1 In the closing minutes of play,
with empty net, the ACES gave up another. The A.S. Cup would go to the BOMBERS.
The
FLYING ACES travel to SHAM land Sunday to defend their first loss of the season
against the rivaled SHAMROCKS.
