For almost four games and two periods it had been an excellent series. Gilders and Pearson had demonstrated the stickhandling, passing and shooting techniques that seemed to come right out of the textbooks. But at the end of the second period, a fight broke out and several play- ers from both teams joined in the fray. Kevin Long and Jeff Johnstone were the main combatants from the Pacers as Long took on Kevin Gilders:-- Johnstone was also thrown out of the ! ----game as he tried to carry on a scrap after he had been separated. Before returning to the dressing room, Port coach Doug Scott and assistants Don Phinney. and McQuad Don Phinney and McQuade stayed behind and discussed the situation with the offi-_ cials. It was at this point that McQuade was invited not to return to the bench. He and Johnstone, up from the Bantams, stayed in the stands for the third period. Winger Scott Wallace had assists on five of the six Pacer goals. John Vaz, who had a tremendous series, scored twice for Port. John- stone, Bob Horton, Long and Jamie Lane added singles. Vaz opened the scoring early in the first period but Lakefield repsonded twice before the end of the frame. Pearson scored a shorthand- ed goal with 4:04 to go when defenceman Vaughan McKee lost the puck at the opposite blue line. The talen- ted left winger skated down the side boards and fired past Clay Lovering on the short side. Pearson and Mike Burke did some fancy stickhand- "ling and passing inside the Port zone to set up Gilders for the go ahead goal in the last minute. Gilders put in a rebound. Gilders had been shut down so effectively in the previous game by Vaz and Long playing shadow roles but he and linemate Pearson -- broke through in the decisive - match for a total of 12 points between them. Gilders even scored the last goal of the series with nine seconds left when he intercepted a bad pass by Scott Wallace and rifled it into an empty net from his own side of center. Pearson made it 3-1 just 1:32 after the second period started after Gilders had beén stopped when he feinted Lovering down. But the Port netminder who had been a standout in the previous four games, was out of position and Pearson flipped it over him. Johnstone narrowed the gap to one goal with a power play effort from the slot after a centering pass from Wallace. Lakefield got three more goals before the end of the period. Wallace scored a goal that was disallowed because of a minor incident between Gilders and McKee later in the period. Moments later Wallace took a well deserved charging penalty and Pacer Paul Storry, who was not in uniform, was thrown out of the penalty box area after he voiced the displeasure that the large Port Perry contin- gent felt. Horton scored two minutes into the final period from the slot on a power play that closed the Lakefield lead to three goals. It was the closest Port ever came. Pearson put a backhand shot into the top of the net with less than ten minutes left to make it 7-3. Todd Menzies, playing an unfamiliar posi- tion on defence, was caught up ice on a three on one break that 'cost Port its eighth goal against. Vaz scored on a sharp angle with 3:22 'remaining and Lane scored on a deke. Long got the final goal of the Pacers playoff season with 21 seconds left when he snapped up a loose puck and put it behind goaler Tim Hill. FOURTH GAME « The fourth game was an excellent contest compared to the finals. It went into overtime before Port won 7-5 on goals by Menzies and Horton. - It also marked the second time in two tries that Port won an extra session contest during this post- "season." Until the fifth and final game, the teams had been deadlocked in every regard. They each had scored 20 goals, each had taken one game by one goal, and taken one game by two goals. Captain Todd Blayone sent the fourth game into over- __time with 1:36 remaining when Vaz beat Gilders on a face-off and drew the puck back to the point. Blayone beat Hill with a shot along the ice but Wallace was given credit for the goal.
