min...Hershey GOAL Steven Klein...Lynx defender Adrian Serioux made a weak pass
in backfield that was intercepted by Klein who walked in on left side and banks
15 yard shot in off right post beyond diving goalie Theo Zagar.
Final
Score:....Toronto Lynx...0...Hershey Wildcats...1...
Lynx started off too
slow with them trying one too many passes or positioning for the perfect shot.
The second half they improved but the Wildcats could get good breaks on
counterattacks and should have put away the game much sooner.
It was
ironic that Lynx Brian Ashton in injury time escaped a defender and shot from
the extreme right from 7 yards into the right webbing instead of a short cross
with two Lynx players waiting for a tap-in. The Wildcat goalie was Richard
Sletvold.
Lynx defence looked a little shakey getting by without injured
Marco Reda and Lyndon Hooper.
Lynx backup goaltender Jim Larkin was sold
to Montreal Impact for cash. New backup goaltender is Carmine Isacco who played
last year for the Milwaukee Rampage but is a Toronto resident.
Attendance
was unannounced but claimed as 1427 which looked like 400 were actually there. A
Tuesday night is a hard sell on a school night.
This was the first loss
in the nine games this year for the Lynx. Quite a reversal from
1999.
