The Mooretown Flags just couldn't catch a step on the Wallaceburg Lakers in game two of the seven game series.
Mooretown fell behind less than a minute into the game and were playing catch up all night.

Despite sending the game to overtime, it just wasn't the Flags night as they lost 5-4 in overtime to notch the series at a game-a-piece. (Wallaceburg) worked really hard," Flags head coach Bruce Aberhart said after the game.

"They certainly out worked us tonight. And they deserved to win." It seemed all game that the Flags were on their heels.
After falling behind 51 seconds into the game (on a goal by Shawn Lubbers), Flags starter Kyle Washer was under fire most of the period (17 in the first).

Mike Burns put Mooretown on the board at the 12:29 mark of the second. Brian Hopkins responded for Wallaceburg less than three minutes later on the power play. Again the Flags came back to tie when Josh Teske beat Lakers starter Ryan George with a hard whrist shot from the slot.

Lubbers and Derek Napp would put the Lakers up by two in the third, but again the Flags came back. Adam Teschke intercepted a pass and broke in all alone beating George while shorthanded and Jordan Pennesi jumped on lose puck in front to send the game to overtime. Overtime was George's time.

"George was incredable in overtime," Aberhart said. "He stopped Darby MacKinnon from point blank range. It was a game saver." The Flags threw 10 shots at Geroge before teammate Rob Pollock potted the game winner.

"Like I have been saying all series," Aberhart reflected. "It is going to be close. But we are not going to change anything going into the next game."  That game will come on Monday in Wallaceburg.
