The Hands leveled the goal side of the sheet on a 6 on 5 Steven Pelliccione blast (2g)..The Hands were not quite finished with Robert Cristello (1g) followed with Michael Mayes (1a) setting up Joey Lucchsei (1g,1a) for a 4-2 game with 8:00 remaining

Too much time was left to pack it in and Gadbois collected his 2nd at 7:08 and his 3rd with 2:35 on the clock
