Five minutes into the second period, the Militia are buzzing and have just finished a couple of extended stays in Kelowna's zone. After re-gaining the blue line for the third time in a minute, Montreal's Ricky Bobby pulls back on the puck and surprises the Knights with a sharp shot towards Thorstrom's glove.

Unfortunately for the Militia, the puck didn't quite make it within the post, and it's sent flying out to the half-boards, where Phineas Gold picks it up and tries a shot of his own.

The puck seems to hit a mass of bodies in front, but a pinching Padraig Sarantez gets a hold of it and keeps it in play. A pass back to Gold, who finds...


Ladies and gentlemen, it's Ricky Bobby.

The American rookie slots the puck past Alexander Thorstrom, showing his promising sense of offensive positioning. He wasn't dismayed by the earlier miss; it was just a matter of finding the open ice, and his teammate delivered the puck on a platter. Bobby made no mistake, and now the game's tied 1-1.
