Weekend Division Playoffs:

Pylons vs. Sofa Kings on Friday, May 11th

The first place Pylons were up against the sixth seeded Sofa Kings in the third playoff game of the night. Jason Wist, the Sofa Kings goaltender, was amazing as he stopped shot after shot from the Pylons. Wist made an early great pad save off a short range shot which was followed up by slap shot that he deflected over the glass and into the safety mesh for a whistle. He later turned back a point blank one timer, one of the many close range shots he had to face. The Pylons didn't score until Kevin Donovan made a perfect cross ice pass to all-star captain David Hughes for the point blank one timed goal. The shots were 14-4 for the Pylons through the first period, however, due to Jason Wist the score was only 1-0.

The Pylons continued to hold the shot advantage in the middle period but Jason Wist continued to keep his team in the game. Wist showed his puck handling skills as well when he was playing the puck along the boards and spun around a full 360 degrees to escape an attacking Pylon player from stealing the puck. Kevin Donovan got the Pylons their second goal of the night off an excellent wrist shot from the slot area. With just 15 seconds remaining in the period the Pylons defenceman Martin Robichaud using his great speed got past the Sofa Kings defenders for a breakaway, however, Jason Wist responded with a terrific pad stack save.

The Sofa Kings were kept even busier in the final period as the Pylons averaged 1.5 shots per minute. Jason Wist once again answered the call and made a huge pad save off a booming slap shot which was taken just from the bottom of the face off circle. All-star Cole Piechotta broke through a couple of Pylon defenders to score a great unassisted goal to make it a 2-1 game with just 4:07 showing on the score clock. The Pylons worked to regain their two goal lead however Jason Wist was uncooperative and not only stopped a cross crease one timed shot but showed nerves of steel as he also stopped a penalty shot with just 1:34 left in game to give his team a "one shot, one goal" chance. The Sofa Kings gave it their all however the Pylons eventually won the game 2-1.

Jason Wist was the Sofa Kings player of the game for his spectacular performance as he stopped 37 of the 39 pucks aimed his way for an incredible .949 save percentage. Kevin Donovan was the Pylons player of the game as he was in on both goals, scoring the game winner and assisting on the other.
