91社区破解版 Experts won a triple overtime thriller to capture the Yukon Broomball Association championship Saturday.
The Experts beat their rival Yukon Built Wookies 2-1 in the third overtime to capture the crown at the broomball rink in Takhini in 91社区破解版.
91社区破解版 Experts nearly didn鈥檛 have the chance to win the game in overtime.
The Wookies took a penalty with 3:12 left in the third. (In broomball, it鈥檚 a three minute penalty.)
91社区破解版 Experts leading scorer Gabriel Nadon took advantage, scoring a power play goal with only 48.9 seconds left in the period.
The score was knotted at 1s going into overtime, which consisted of the following sudden-death formats:
Five minutes of four-on-four with goalies and two females per team.
Five minutes of three-on-three with goalies and one female per team.
Five minutes of three-on-three without goalies with one female per team.
The first overtime was scoreless.
The second overtime featured what looked like a sure goal by the Wookies鈥 Cody-Lynn Claggett that the 91社区破解版 Experts goalie, Tomas Tokic, made an amazing save on.
In the third overtime, Gabriel Nadon took a pass from his brother Nicolas and sealed the deal.
The Star spoke with Gabriel after the game.
鈥淲e played them on Wednesday and won 6-1,鈥 he recalled. 鈥淚t was a really good game for us. Obviously, they came back stronger today. They got the jump on us late in the third.鈥
Gabriel described the last-minute tying goal he scored with an assist from brother Nicolas.
鈥淕reat pass. Shot it towards the goalie and I got the rebound and just poked it in.鈥
Gabriel then related how the overtime went.
鈥淓verybody鈥檚 tired. Not running as much. My tactic usually 鈥 because I know that my brother and I have enough gas in the tank and we鈥檙e fast 鈥 I usually just wait until our third overtime.鈥
Gabriel described the championship winner.
鈥淲e were two on one 鈥 it鈥檚 easy-ish to score two on one, especially when there鈥檚 no one in the net.
鈥淚t was a great pass (from Nicolas). I hesitated. I just wanted to make sure I didn鈥檛 miss that one. I missed the net a couple times during the game and I didn鈥檛 want to recreate that moment. If I can, I鈥檓 gonna take that extra second every time.鈥
Nicolas Nadon thought it was a 鈥渧ery close game.鈥
鈥淭hey were second in the standings. We were first in the standings, so it was a good representation of the season. Strong teams. Strong game. 1-1 tie up until triple overtime. That doesn鈥檛 happen often. It鈥檚 very exciting when it does.
鈥淚 think everyone had fun. For me, that鈥檚 the main thing. I just want everybody to have fun. It鈥檚 just a game.鈥
As for playing with his family and having him and his brother combine for the winning goal, Nicolas said, 鈥淚 feel lucky. I guess not many people have a chance to do that. We have good chemistry together.鈥
The Nadon boys have been playing together about eight years.
鈥淲e get along together, so it鈥檚 all good fun.鈥
