The conclusion of that game just didn't sit well with me. It wasn't the right ending. Even though I said I wouldn't replay it, I did. I replayed the entire third period.
So, let's try this again!
Heading into the third, it was (still) 3-2 in favor of the Vics. Now, in this alternate timeline, Frank Rankin scored his second of the game to push the home team's edge to a pair of goals. Compared to the original third period, the pace of play this time around was slow and choppy, with lots of turnovers and fewer scoring chances. Bowse Hutton wasn't called upon to make tons of tough saves, mainly because the Vics didn't hand the Comets a couple of gift-wrapped power plays late in the game. The score remained 4-2 until the final minute, when Mike Grant's shot from the point gave Billy Gilmour a juicy rebound that he buried in the back of the net. Though it was Gilmour's second tally of the game, it was too little, too late, as the Vics held on for a 4-3 triumph and claimed (again) their second consecutive Strat Cup championship.
