NEWSDate: Feb 07, 2010 Misita’s Fourth Point Wins It In Overtime For Flyers
The Ice Flyers and Ice Bears battled brilliantly in Pensacola Saturday night, with the home team winning 4-3 in overtime. Lorne Misita notched four points and one of his two goals was the game-winner. With the win, the Ice Flyers move into sole possession of fourth place. Both teams came out swinging in the first period but Knoxville would score first. Just 1:14 into the game Tyler Barr and David Segal came to fisticuffs. With the pugilists on the bench, Frank Furdero received a nice lead pass from former Ice Flyer Taylor Hustead and had only the goalie to beat. With a flick of the wrist Furdero deposited the puck in the net and the Ice Bears had the first lead at 2:46. At 5:24 in the initial frame, Matt Withers and Travis Hanson got into it, putting both men in the penalty box for five minutes. Another fight broke out a minute and a half later when Barr and Segal went for round two. The fight inspired Pensacola, and Kevin Kozlowski fired a shot from the left point that Dan Buccella redirected into the goal to tie the game at 7:01 in the first period. Lorne Misita also earned an assist on the play. After the first intermission Pensacola gained their first lead of the game at 4:34 off a powerplay. Lorne Misita set up Rob Campbell beautifully with a centering pass from the right side. Campbell used a wrister to put the puck in the left side of the top shelf and give Pensacola a 2-1 lead. Knoxville would not only tie it with a goal from Kevin Harris at 7:14, but Kevin Swider put Knoxville back on top with a goal at 13:45. In between the goals Travis Martell and Joey Hughes fought each other for the fourth installment of the evening's violence. |
