Allen dumps South Carolina, 5-2, ties series 1-1 - Charleston Post Courier
The series is tied, 1-1, heading into Game 3 Wednesday night beginning at 8:05 p. m. at the Allen Event Center. The best-of-seven series will shift to the Lowcountry for three games beginning Sunday night at the North Charleston Coliseum for Game 4. “We had the majority of the puck possession inside the offensive zone and it didn’t do us any good because we... “We were sloppy with the puck, we didn’t shoot it enough and we missed the net way too many times during the first two periods. We were just not ready to do the things that are needed to be done to win a game in the Kelly Cup finals. Despite giving up five goals, the Stingrays defense was solid, giving up only a handful of meaningful scoring chances and just 21 shots. The problem was that any mistake the Stingrays made ended up in the back of their net. “When they got an opportunity, they scored,” Carbery said. If you make a mistake against these guys chances the puck is going to end up in the back of the net. South Carolina rookie goalie Clay Witt replaced Jeff Jakaitis to start the third period after the veteran goalie gave up three goals on just 13 shots through the first 40 minutes of the game. Witt gave up two goals on eight shots. “Jeff has played a ton of minutes for us during the playoffs and we needed him to be ready for Game 3 (Wednesday),” Cabery said. Source: www.postandcourier.com
