Furious Late Comeback Falls Short In Final Seconds As Boston Holds On For 16-15 Win

Written by Lee Roggenburg on . Posted in .
  Clawing all the way back from a 7-goal deficit the Florida Launch were defeated 16-15 yesterday as Boston goaltender Jordan Burke stoned Kieran McArdle on the crease with 5 seconds left in the game, sending Florida home for the season.  To make matters worse, the Ohio Machine were able to go into league-leading Rochester last night and came away with a 17-15 win, eliminating Florida from the playoff race one week before the regular season ended.  Had Rochester won then the Launch would have made the playoffs with a win in Ohio next week and a Boston loss to Rochester. We will have a game recap when available from the Launch web site.
