March 9, 2010 - What a game!  For a second straight night it would come down to two overtime periods to decide the winner.  Facing elimination from the series with a loss, the Braves got down early 1-0 in the 1st period until tying the game a few minutues later.  Not to be outdone, the Leafs came racing back to make it 2-1 shortly thereafter. The Braves entered the 3rd period down 3-2, and then at 18:53 in the 3rd, Jake Peterson scores the game tying goal that eventually forces overtime.  The 1st overtime period was fast and furious, with both teams not wanting to give an inch.   At the end of the 1st regulation its still 3-3.  The 2nd overtime begins, and the game is a nail biter, each team waiting for the other to make a mistake when with 7 minutes remaining in the 2nd OT, Rance Hughes scores the game winning goal - Braves win 4-3.  Game 7 is in Nelson tonite and the Winner will become the Murdoch Division Champions.  Puck drops at 7:00PM PST.
