I'll have goalie info for this game shortly.

Cleaning up something from this morning's blog, here's the scoring summary from GREEN's victory over GREY.

GREEN goal scorers: Messervey 2, Vincent, Butcher, Boyd.
GREY goal scorers: Keck 2, Smith.

And the puck is dropped.

RED scored already. Chynoweth.
RED 1-0.

Casey Parker is in goal for RED.

And another goal for RED to make it 2-0. Michael Bell.
So Chynoweth and Bell combine for two goals on the opening shift as they set up one another.

Andy Desautels is in goal for GREY. He's the only goalie who played a full game this morning and he saw a lot of rubber. We'll see what his endurance is like here.

GREY's Brett Boehm stickhandles through the defense and scores, but the goal is disallowed. Not sure why.

And Chynoweth scores again. Wins the puck at the red line, blows down the right and buries a shot. RED 3-0.

Desautels just got leveled by Cody Kshyk as he drove the net. Kshyk scored in the process to put RED ahead 4-0.

Penalty on RED. And Dake Lidder shoots wide.

GREY gets on the board through Nick Landry. 4-1.

GREY's Boehm with another great stickhandling move. He beats Parker and puts his shot off the post, but it banks back in off the back of Parker to pull GREY within 4-2.

And there's the buzzer. RED leads 4-2 with the Chynoweth-Bell combination being pretty dominant. I hope the Tips can get GREY goalie Andy Desautels a breather as he's played three straight halves now and looks a little fatigued.

Looks like Desautels is getting another full game in goal.

Huge hit by RED's Anthony Conti.

Austin Lotz is backstopping RED in this half.

Cody Kshyk with a nice rush for RED, but he's turned away.

RED's Jordan Rooke with a nice hit along the boards.

GREY's Joel Blaquiere finishes off on the odd-man rush, and the deficit is down to one at 4-3. Good comeback by GREY.

Penalty coming up on GREY.

Desautels makes the save on Dale Nerland to keep it a one-goal game.

Nice double stop by Desautels. He's still got something left in the tank.

Penalty on RED, so GREY has a chance to tie it.

Oops, it's the other way, and Desautels mades the save.

RED defenseman saves on the line to maintain the lead!

Brett Boehm scores on the rebound to tie it up for GREY. 4-4 with eight minutes remaining.

Michael Bell is going to be a handful. He has good size, mixes it up and has contributed offensively.

Penalty. GREY's got a chance to go ahead ...

And Andrew Weich buries it. GREY is amazingly ahead 5-4 after falling behind 4-0.

Desautels two good saves through traffic.

1:05 remaining and we've got a penalty. Chynoweth with a chance to tie it.

Oops, it's the other way again, and Lotz stops Joel Gellvear.

Penalty shot for RED with 12 seconds left.

Desautels stones Kshyk, and GREY wins it.

Epic comeback by GREY as they come back from a 4-0 deficit to win 5-4.

Andy Desautels, after a rough first half, was stellar in the second half in goal for GREY. He's earned a well-deserved rest after playing a full four periods today.

GREY's Brett Boehm also had a nice game, showing some smooth stickhandling skills.

For RED, Ryan Chynoweth and Michael Bell dominated during the first half, but were shut down in the second.
