This game had a dramatic turn-about.
The Bluegars looked to be running the Banjo-Mutts out of the rink. They first scored after 11 seconds, and built a 3-0 lead at the intermission. In fact, the deluge continued for most of the 2nd period as well. The Mutts scored a pair of goals 36 seconds apart to make it a deceptive 3-2 scoreline at the 2nd intermission. The shots were 31-18, and that was a fair reflection.
Then the 3rd period happened.
The Mutts scored four more unanswered goals. They never took the lead until 11 minutes in, and the shots were 10-10, but the sense of turn-about was palpable. Nevertheless, the Bluegars did show they could handle the Mutts for long stretches and cannot be counted out.
