Strat Cup, Game 2 (Part 1)

Now skating on friendly ice, the Comets were hoping for a better start than they had in Game 1. It didn't materialize. The Vics came out shooting, holding a 14-8 advantage after the first frame; they also led 2-0 on goals from Hobey Baker and Dubbie Bowie. Early in the second, Frank McGee feathered a perfect pass to linemate Billy Gilmour, who buried the shot to cut the home team's deficit in half. As we approached the middle of the period, Comets captain Harry Trihey struck to tie the game; hobbled defenseman Jack Marshall even notched an assist on the play. The tie was short-lived, however, as less than a minute later, Cyclone Taylor -- who else? -- beat Percy LeSueur to give the Vics a 3-2 advantage. With thirty minutes still remaining, I expect to see a fair bit more scoring before it's all said and done! Will the Comets come back to force a winner-take-all Game 3, or will the Vics hoist their second Strat Cup in as many seasons?
