Bluefins Fall to Demonz in Inaugural Home Game at Cortland
By Zach Eisen
Playing their first home game in New York for the first time since moving from Cape Cod, the New York Bluefins were unable to fend off the first place Dayton Demonz, falling by a score of 9-7.
Luke Flicek started off the scoring for the Demonz with a power play goal at 6:29 of the first period. Christian Beaudry answered with a power play goal of his own for the Fins less than two minutes later. Penalties continued to hurt New York when Lucas Schott tallied one on the man advantage for Dayton.
The Demonz's 2-1 advantage wouldn't last long, however, as the Bluefins responded with a burst of 3 goals in the final two minutes of the period. Michael Fransen and Michael Guerra both scored, followed by Steven Drizis' goal with six seconds remaining in the period.
The Fins took a 4-2 lead over the first place team into the second period, but couldn't hold on for long. Dayton tied the game at 4 less than five minutes into the period with a power play goal from Schott followed by a score from Jason Hill. Carson Devine put the Fins back on top at 5:37 of the third, but Flicek tallied his second of the night just 1:20 later to tie it back up at 5.
Beaudry gave the Fins a 6-5 lead later on in the period, but Hill responded with his second of the night to even the score at 6.
The third period got off to a quick start, with Jason Hill completing his hat trick just 1:24 into the period. Flicek also earned a hat trick, while later Hill found the back of the net for his fourth of the night to make it 9-6.
Alex Redmond scored late for the Fins to cut the deficit to two, but it was too little too late for the home team. 9-7 was the final score.
It was a valiant effort for the struggling Bluefins, going up against the dominant first-place Demonz. It was the first game for the Bluefins in New York since leaving their former home in Cape Cod. They will be playing home games in various arenas around New York for the remainder of the season.
New York couldn't stay out of the box, the 12 penalties they took led to three power play goals for Dayton. Christian Beaudry of New York and Jesse Felten of Dayton each received 10-minute misconduct penalties in the third period and did not return.
Kevin Moore made 32 saves for the Bluefins, while Aaron Barton and Jeff Rose combined for 28 in net for the Demonz.
The Bluefins play again tomorrow night against the 1000 Island Privateers at 7:35 in Watertown. Dayton is back in action tomorrow at Danbury, getting underway at 7:35.
