Mooretown vs Blenheim
October 24, 2009

A last minute empty netter by Alex Dawson sealed the deal for the Mooretown Flags as they took a 7 - 5 win over Blenheim.

Mooretown opened the scoring on a powerplay in the first by Chris Hoffman from Adam Little and Donny Bowling.  Less than a minute later Bowling made it 2 - 0 with Jason Teschke and Raymond Martin assisting.  Late in the period Blenheim bounced back and added a pair to end the period with both sides even.  Tyler Clarke scored both Blenheim goals in the first.

Second period things got scary for the Flags as Blenheim took the lead by 2 with Ben Campbell and Owen Kent scoring.  Midway into the period and on a penalty kill, Mooretown's Chris Hoffman scored an unassisted shorthanded goal to narrow the lead.  Travis Harper from Spencer Lightfoot and Cody Stout evened things up three quarters into the period and in the final minute of play Jordan Pennesi recovered the lead for the Flags.  Mike Burns and Alex Dawson assisted.  Score leading into the 3rd was 5 - 4 for Mooretown.

It wasn't until the 15:06 mark into the third when the lamp on the scoreboard changed with Mike Burns scorint the 6th goal for the Flags from Jordan Pennesi and Raymond Martin.  Blenheim fought back and found themselves on a powerplay and with just a minute and :06 seconds left in the game they narrowed the lead.  Aaron Blonde scored the powerplay goal for Blenheim.  But the last minute man advantage was enough in which the Flags capitalized by Dawson empty netter to give the Flags their second win in two nights.

Mooretown went 1 for 6 on powerplays Blenheim went 1 for 5. Both sides were even with total shots on goal at 41 each.
Reid Ranking took the win in net for Mooretown, Dylan Vanderpol was in net for the Blenheim loss.
