The first chance for the Capitals SNL side to take home a trophy this season. In the first period the Caps made their chances, but couldn't take them. Solway took advantage of a powerplay opportunity to end the period a goal to the good. Caps lacked most of their EIHL stars tonight, and in the opening twenty minutes one of them, David Beatson, looked well off form. That would change.
Caps started to dominate more and more as the second progressed, and when a goal finally came out of the pressure it was that man Beatson who rocketed in from just inside the blue line. He'd already started to look much more his usual self, and never looked back from that moment. But it was still only one all when the final twenty minutes began.
In the final period Caps started to reap the rewards for all their pressure and the goals started to come aplenty. The third stood out with that man Beatson firing a magnificent defence splitting pass from behind his own goal line and putting Neil Hay through on his own to stick the puck in the five hole. And Black's delicate little touch for the fifth goal was lovely. That man Beatson wrapped it all up with his second and team's sixth in the closing minutes, another bullet of a shot from just inside the zone. And he got Man of the Match too.
Looking forward to seeing the SNL guys fighting for more silverware in the coming weeks.
