Gators lose an early season heart breaker 5-4 due to Lowreys reinactment of Martin Jones vs the Oilers last playoffs.  He was on the phone seeking counselling after the game. Pray for Lowrey

Moving along, 

Orcas were the hightlight of the pregame conversation

Fun fact about Orcas are that they are apex predators, at the top of the food chain. No other animals (except for humans) hunt orcas.  They also like to smack seals around before they eat them, apparently "It's to loosen the seals skin".  I think its because they're psycho.  Alternative theory would be they dont have hands that could hold a club that they could club the seals with.  Betcha Orcas wish they had hands

Back to the game summary:

An early tally by the Ice Dogs was countered by 3 from the Dev in the than span of a minute halfway through the period to finish the first 3-1.  That hatrick in 56 second has got to be some kind of a record.  Yikes!

Second period saw teams swapping a goal, with Grant popping in a PP goal for the Gators

Third saw the Ice Dogs claw back into the game and tie it 3 min in.  Pressure back and forth lead to Lowrey inevitable doomed fivehole letting in the Ice Dogs go ahead goal.  Late late pressure from the Gators netted a called back goal with less than 2 seconds remaining... fast whistles happen.

Other Gator news:

Culby usually carries a hacksaw either in his bag, or truck... usually.  Just not tonight.  Upside is that you can still find someone around a rink at 11pm that will give you a hacksaw.  Makes sense... there is a casino nearby... maybe wipe your prints off it afterwards.
