Bandits Grab Lead With 8-0 Win
The Empire Cup Finals are
underway, even though it wasn't
the way both teams expected.  
The Storm were forced to play
the game with no bench, and the
Bandits took full advantage,
moving the puck around and
forcing the Storm to use a lot of
energy early.  Fatigue would
ultimately take over, and the
Bandits skated away with an 8-0
win and put themselves in
position to win it all on Thursday.  
Jake Pisco and Keith Frankel
had a goal and assist in the
game. Dave Macagnone scored
his 6th of the playoffs. Dustin
Cotcamp had 2 assists, while
Mike Van Ness and Mark Fouvy
had assists.  For the Storm, its a
must win in Game 2 - Thursday
at 8:30pm.
