Flames tie again

This has been a season of ties. We seem to be unable to finish off a tough opponent. Last Saturday was no different.

The ZFHC is in a three way battle for 2nd place with EHC Baar and HM Herti (The first 2 teams get a bye in the quarter finals.)

Last Saturday, we played HM Herti in the Bossard Arena, Zug. The result was 6-6. We were down 4-6 entering the 3rd and managed to fight back to a tie. But the win eluded us.

This coming Saturday we play against EHC Baar, hopefully we can find the right pieces to the win puzzle.

Tied Shocking Blue

In the first game of 2012, the Zug Flames tied league leader Shocking Blue 4-4. The game was closely fought with Shocking Blue holding onto a small lead throughout. However, with JY the goalie pulled and only 5 seconds left, Francois Longpre scored his second of the night from the slot on a sweet pass from Christian Carlsson.

Also scoring for the Flames were Teemu Jelkanen and Jonas Nilsson.

The Flames have 3 games left in the regular season before playoffs start in mid-February.

Zug Flames complete sweep of Thalwil

The Zug Flames beat EHC Thalwil at home today 7-3.  We got off to a slow start and let Thalwil take a 2 goal lead. But then in the 6th minute, Rob Johnson broke the ice and beat the Thalwil keeper on a wrist shot to the upper corner. Also scoring in the 1st period were Jonas Nilsson, Eric Diedrichsen and Francois Longpre.  We ended the 1st with a 2 goal lead.

Not wanting to let Thalwil back in the game, we kept up the forechecking and added 2 more goals both by Mikko Heikkila. Thalwil was never really able to get and sustained offensive pressure.

The 3rd perod saw another goal by Francois Longpre and goal in the 59th minute by Thalwil.  JY David made some great saves and kept us in the game when it counted. 

The win puts us tied for 2nd place in the ZSPL with 2 games in hand.
