VetiVa dominates JOG Sports in a 7-2 rout
VetiVa delivered a commanding performance, cruising past JOG Sports 7-2.
The opening frame set the tone as VetiVa struck twice - Josh Steinhaus opened the scoring at 9:04 with a nice backhand tip at the top off the crease off a feed from Bonnie Lui, followed by Theophilus Wong's end to end breakaway tally firing a shot past Martin Jim assisted by Art Tam. 2-0 after 1.
Wong continued his scoring spree early in the second, netting two quick goals at 0:12 and 2:00, the latter coming after shots from both Matt Ng and Juerg Fritschi before Wong picked up the rebound and found the far post on a spin-o-rama shot for the hattrick. Matt Ng continued his multi-game scoring streak when he added his first of the night at 10:44 shotting 5-hole from the slot after a pass from Wong to make it 5-0 heading into the third.
JOG Sports showed life in the final frame when Leon Mo pulled 3 VetiVa defenders to the left before passing into the slot to an unmarked Scott Strickland who made no mistake and broke Adrian Huen's shutout bid. VetiVa responded immediately - Fritschi buried one after skating all the way down and past 2 defenders before deking Jim at 6:17, while Ng capped the scoring for VetiVa with another just inside the far post. Leon Mo added a late
goal on the breakaway for JOG, going forehand backhand deke, but the gap was too wide to close.

GAME 2
Manulife edges AsiaXpat 4-3 in overtime thriller
Manulife clawed back from a three-goal deficit to stun AsiaXpat 4-3 in overtime, capping a dramatic comeback in one of the season's most exciting games.
After a scoreless first period, AsiaXpat dominated the second period, striking three times in quick succession - Alvin Sham scored at 5:22 with a snipe and again a minute later on a breakaway. Rick Chu then followed with an unassisted shot over Grant Phillips' shoulder at 7:43 for a 3-0 lead. Manulife finally broke through at 10:55 when Jason Yip converted off Sean Tong's feed to make it 3-1 after 2 periods.
The third period saw Manulife surge back - Jackie Chan scored unassisted at 4:48 after banking the puck from behind the goal line off Martin Jim's skate, and Bruce Hicks tied it at 11:18 with help from Edwin Lau and Gary Lawrence. AsiaXpat had a late powerplay and significant pressure towards the end of the 3rd period, but Manulife held them off.
In overtime, after withstanding more Xpat pressure, Reto Broennimann sealed the comeback with a shot from the high slot squeaking thru the 5-hole, finishing a perfect pass from Lawrence with Bruce Hicks screening in front.
Grant Phillips was a difference-maker in net, stopping 32 shots to keep Manulife alive, while Martin Jim turned aside 23 for AsiaXpat.
