The Barracuda played one of their worst games of the season in San Diego on Wednesday night as the teams combined for eight goals in the first period alone. The ‘Cuda took the game to overtime where they were handed a defeat by their greatest threat for the Pacific title.
Kevin Labanc (6) opened the scoring on a power-play goal while Nic Kerdiles, who blocked a shot earlier in the sequence, was on the ice in obvious pain. Since the play never left the zone the refs and fans alike could do nothing but watch. The hometown fans let their displeasure known and even many Barracuda fans admitted they would rather have the play blown dead even if it meant no Barracuda goal.
