Game 19: San Diego Gulls vs Tuscon Roadrunners – Dec 5

I could not watch this one live and did not have time to watch the replay (also lacked the motivation given I knew they would lose) but in a quick summary. San Diego again out-shot their opponent in the first period, while also taking the opening score and narrowly held the shot advantage in the middle frame, surrendering a goal in familiar fashion but they ran out of steam in the third – surrendering four goals on eleven shots – losing 5-2. Tropp and Thompson had the San Diego goals with Boyle taking the loss. It should be noted that Luke Gazdic was in the line-up for this one presumably because Blandisi was injured before this game (potentially in the previous San Jose tilt).
