Victoria (AP) The two heated rivals get together for what is to be another epic battle and the fans were not disappointed. Spokane jumps out to a quick 2-0 lead as the Cougars contemplate pulling James Reimer who was not very good in his last game. But coach Jack Shupe keeps Reimer in the net for the Cougars. Victoria then comes back with three goals of their own led by their fourth line. First Richard Panik and then Sean Lafferty , as Sam Steel was back on the bench, and this game was tied. Vincent Trocheck then scored early in the second and the Cougars had a lead for the first time.
But the Flyers came battling back, first Adam Henrique and then Sergei Gusev with just less than four minutes to play to give the Flyers a huge 4-3 lead. But Victoria pulls their goalie and Roope Hintz scores with just 33 seconds left to tie this game and send it into overtime. It was as advertised, another classic battle between these two Pacific Northwest rivals. In overtime, Cougar’s captain, Jack Eichel beats Cam Talbot and Victoria luckily comes out of this one with a 5-4 overtime win.
