Up 1-0 going into the third last night only 20 minutes is what kept the Norwich Merchants away from wrapping up thier West Division Final against Simcoe, unfourtunately somone forgot to tell Simcoe how the plot was supposed to end. The stands packed full of fans ready to celebrate a division title at home. But Simcoe manned up and played like they wanted to win that third period more than Norwich did. Simcoe's Phil Bethune would tie it with 12 minutes left in the third, and with 2:54 to go Kris Purawec scored the winner. Simcoe tacked on 2 empty netters to finish up a 4-1 win. Simcoe goalie Kris McCoubrey stood on his head in the first period to keep Norwich at bay. Brian Phillips would finally break the goose egg four minutes into the second, that would be the only blemish on Mc Coubrey's night as he made 29 saves on the night.
Game 5 goes tonight in Norwich same senario as last night win at home in front of a packed house ready to celebrate a division title. Norwich needs to play much better tonight than they did last night, And treat tonight like a must win game you don't want to go back to Simcoe for a game 6.
