Highlights of the Shockers vs. Decepticons
Final Score
Shockers 4 - Decepticons 3 (SO)
For a team who has been struggling to find the right combination the Shockers certainly looked like a different team in last night's bout against the Decepticons.
The Shockers did not give up a single goal in the first period which has been rather uncharacteristic since the first period always seems to be a sleepy one for the team to get moving. Quite the opposite this time around. The forwards were coming back to help the defense, the defense was making sure the front of the net was clear and the zone exits were near perfect each time they moved the ball.
Last minute call to bring up Shawn McDermott to center Kosta Kastrounis and Nick Sullo ended up being a huge success as the line potted 2 out of the 3 regulation goals, picking up 2 assists for himself and over-all, they moved the ball well amongst the three.
Giancarlo Capaz, who has arguably kept the Shockers within contention all season was stellar once again between the pipes especially in the shoot-outs where the Shockers relied heavily on him to be on his game.
"It was definitely a different game for us, we played it smart and didn't give them much opportunity to score," commented Andrew Stevens who was blanked of the score sheet for the second time this season.
"It was fun to play something different, I'm not used to this league and to le Rinque so it was a nice change of pace for me," commented Shawn McDermott and then briefly spoke about his shoot-out miss,"...I usually get that shot everytime, but it come off my stick a bit weird and it went high and wide."
Kosta Kastrounis had two goals on the night, both from great passes by Shawn McDermott to add to his point total on the season (3G - 4A).
Shockers (3-5-0) will go up against the Chiefs (3-3-0) next Sunday; both teams are tied in the standings and both are looking to go ahead in the standings. The last time these teams butted-heads the Shockers came up on top for the win, 6-4.
