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.
