David Richard completes the Hat Trick night with a wrister over the shoulder of Westblom from Prab Rai and the Tbirds get the 3-2 victory tonight in Game 3 of the series.
The win ensures that Seattle will return home on Thursday for Game 5 no matter what.
Seattle will now try to take this momentum into Game 4 tomorrow night and even the series at 2 games a piece.
I cannot overstate how huge this win is for the Tbirds... lose and the season was over, win and this could be the springboard back into the series and into the rest of the playoffs.
I also believe Seattle can still play much better... The Holloway-Nielsen-Scott line hardly showed signs of life until the Overtime period when I thought they put together some outstanding shifts. At times the Tbirds looked like the team we saw in the 2nd half and at times we did not, when Seattle is at their best Kelowna looks overwhelmed, when they aren't... Kelowna dominates the action.
Jacob DeSerres was also enormous in the game and made the save of the night in the Overtime period that saved the game and the season.
Whew....
