Game #2

1:00pm
Arctic Coliseum 1st 2nd 3rd Final
Flint Jr. Firebirds Orange 0 0 0 0
Atlanta Kings 0 0 1 1

 

Day two of the Ring of Fire Tournament had the Flint Firebirds facing off against the Atlanta Kings (yes, the Atlanta in Georgia) in Ann Arbor.

The first and second periods were extremely similar, with the two teams trading scoring chances and penalties. Both teams took hooking penalties in the first period, while expanding the variety a bit in the second but with each team taking two penalties (though the Kings would end up with a 10 minute misconduct following their boarding penalty late in the second period).

It wasn't until the third period got underway that one of the teams was able to get on the scoreboard. Unfortunately for us, it was the Kings who would score, after getting a 2 on 1 breakaway that pulled the Firebirds goaltender out of the net. That would end up being it for the scoring, as the Firebirds would fall by a 1-0 score.
