With only six players showing up (and only 1 of their top 5 scorers), Rhubarb Crisp knew they would have to play good defense. The first period was played tight and remained 0-0. The Crisps started showing some fatigue in the second where they allowed 3 goals in less than a minute. Once again the referees took over the game, calling 2 questionable penalties against the Crisp in the third, which eventually cost them the game. Rhubarb Crisp did not give up, putting on pressure late in the third and eventually ringing one off the post. Tanner MacVicar scored two and Mike Johnson had the other. Ross Cook had three assists.
