5 Game Win Streak Halted!

RIVER PARK SOUTH, MB Late Monday Result

"We knew it couldn't go on forever, but we sure didn't want it to end like that." Those were the words from a dejected Keith Hynes while sitting in his stall deep in the bowels of the Dakota Arena Monday night. Those sentiments were echoed by the rest of the team after falling 6-5 to a 13 Guys & a Puck squad which had yet to beat the Lube Kings in 3 prior attempts this season.

The game started off strong with the home side controlling the first half of the game while protecting a one goal lead. The team seemed to slip into cruise control midway through the second period only to be rudely awakened late in the third trailing 4-2. The team mounted a valiant effort near the end of the game and on several occasions narrowed the goal deficit to 1. However, down 6-5 with 45 seconds to go in the game and with goalie Mich on the bench, the Lube Kings took an untimely roughing penalty which all but salted away their first loss in 6 games.

FINAL SCORE 13 Guys & a Puck 6 Lube Kings 5
