Just after the American shot missed, Greece was quick on the counter-attack. On the rush, Barbas fed KEVIN KUZMARSKI on the right side, and his one-timer beat Rethage inside the post.
Assist: Michael Barbas.
They just won't go away in this game and they've tied it again. MICHAEL PINIOS's low wrister from the top of the slot through traffic may have been tipped in front, but Rethage was definitely screened.
Assists: Nicholas Rompotinos, Costa Kakivelos.
Right off the draw they re-take the lead. MATT KIESEL was lined up right on the edge of the circle, the ball came to him and he one-timed it far side. According to the game clock that took only one second! That's the second time they've scored right off an offensive-zone faceoff.
Assist: Jim Daugherty.
After withstanding so much American pressure, the Greeks come back the other way and score. NICHOLAS PITSIKOULIS takes the cross-pass and fires it inside the post before Rethage can get across. Tied game.
Assist: Kevin Kuzmarski
Right off the faceoff, the ball comes to CHRISTOPHER LIEBERS and he rips it blocker side on Vrettis.
Assist: Bill Sullivan.
For the first time in the game the Americans have some sustained pressure in the Greek zone. Vrettis sweeps the ball to the corner, but JORDAN SENECAL recovers it, cuts in front and beats Vrettis with a wrister to the short side.
Unassisted.
They put on good pressure on the power play, Rethage stops a shot from a sharp angle but the rebound is lying in the crease for JOSHUA BARBAS.
Assists: Nicholas Pitsikoulis, Chris Vagenas.
Teams will play 4 on 4 for :08, then Greece to the power play.
