The Barracuda now have a great five minute power play opportunity on their hands. With Driftwood out, it's one less star player they have to worry about.
The Barracuda launch straight into the attack as Klaus shows some disgruntled ferocity in the Dragons end after losing the opening draw. A big hit forces a change of possession but is soon reversed as the Dragons take back the puck. The Barracuda have a fire now though, and aren't letting up easy.
Klaus wins a second draw in the Dragons end and moves the puck back to Maui who fires off a shot. The puck goes wide and is recovered by Joln Dubolk who fires off another, but Kata Vilde stops it without a rebound. Oddly enough play seems to continue without a draw, and DuBolk gets another opportunity, but HIS shot misses the net, being recovered by Austin Roenick. Roenick seems to have the best position of his former counterparts and looks to the top corner...
