Markham Waxers Game Report


JAN. 7/2005 (Game 38)	P1	P2	P3	OT	FINAL
ST MICHAEL'S BUZZERS	1	2	1	0	4
MARKHAM WAXERS	0	1	3	0	4

In typical Waxers-Buzzers fashion, the two teams played an exciting, end-to-end action that saw the Waxers show great character in coming back from 2-0, 3-1 and 4-2 deficits to earn a 4-4 tie with a last minute goal from Shareef Labreche. Terrific goaltending at both ends, fast paced play, bonecrushing hits, and "the odd tussle" sent the crowd of 600 plus home having received their money's worth.

St Michael's got on the board first with a powerplay goal in the opening period and a shorthanded goal early in the second. Markham cut the lead in half thanks to a shorthanded goal of their own with 5:10 left in the second period. Chris Korte won the battle for a loose puck near the Waxers blueline and sent Brett Molnar in all alone on the Buzzers' goaltender. Molnar made no mistake roofing the puck under the crossbar for his first of two goals on the evening. The period however would end 3-1 for St Michael's setting up the exciting third period.

Markham got out of the gate quickly, closing the gap to 3-2, when Molnar scored on an early powerplay. Finishing off a rush and three way passing play involving Riley Hill and Josh Jacobs, Molnar beat the sprawling goalie with another high shot in to the top of the net for his 18th of the season. The Buzzers would make it 4-2 a few minutes later with a powerplay goal of their own which led to a frantic final 14 minutes as the Waxers poured it on. Hill would make it 4-3 when he redirected a Mick Ralph point shot in to the net for his 16 on the season with 6:16 left in regulation (Jacobs got the second assist for setting up Ralph). Then, with the goaltender on the bench for an extra attacker, Shareef Labreche swooped in to the Buzzers end and slammed home a rebound after James and Joel Gaulrapp had just had their attempts stopped by the netminder.

The overtime was a heartstopper for sure as the 4-on-4 action produced 12 shots between the teams, each had 6, in the five minute period. Trevor O'Neill was solid in net stopping 35 shots as the final tally saw the Waxers outshoot the Buzzers 46-39.
