Heartbreak In The City

The Cougars traveled into the city for a game coinciding with the start of the Chinese New Years Day Parade.  Again the Cougars started strongly scoring at 7:23 of the first period (G:Sam Brewer) - surprisingly this is the exact same time and the same Cougar as the opening goal scored against Stockton by the Cougars last week.  San Francisco came back to tie the score late in the first period and again to take the lead late in the second period.  The Cougars fought back with three straight goals (G:Jonathan Purcell A:Jack Bragg), (G:Matan Geller), (G: Danny Black PP).  The Sabercats got one back half a minute after the Cougars last goal and the score was Cougars 4 - Sabercats 3.  The score stayed this way until the final half minute of the game when the Sabercats tied the game after a lucky bounce broke up some sustained Cougar pressure.  Although it was a disappointing end result, this was a very strong team effort with all the goals resulting from the Cougars executing fundamentals that their coaches have been emphasizing in practice - getting the puck deep, keeping your head up and hitting the net when you shoot.  Goalie Adam Scianna stopped 19 of 23 shots.
