Porous defense and strong goaltending combined to deal the Spiders a crippling blow to their playoff hopes. The Spiders had closed within 4-3 early in the third period before the wheels fell off. At least they were held under 10, as opposed to last week - progress, right?
Mark Bortnem, Geoff Kuppe, and Doug Thorson scored for the Spiders. Goaltender Brian Dow also added an assist in his last game before heading to the DL with a lower-body injury.
The Spiders are now 7-8-0, 2 1/2 games behind the 4th place Leftovers. The Leftovers still have to play the Lakers so that's likely a loss but the Spiders probably need to win out to have a chance.
Next up for the Spiders are the Grizzlies, who rallied in the last 80 seconds to stun the Spiders 7-6 in late December. Face off is at 9:00pm on Friday, Ferbuary 28th at Richfield 1.
