Braehead Clan vs Asiago Hockey 1935 31/08/14 - Aladdin Cup 2014

Описание: Clan TV frontman Gerry McLaughlin caught up with new player Scott Pitt, Asiago coach John Parco and our very own Ryan Finnerty after the fledgling team's nerve-wracking penalty shootout victory in the 2014 Aladdin Cup.



The Braehead Clan regained the Aladdin Cup after defeating Italian opponents Asiago on the night and on penalty shots.

Despite creating many good chances in the first, the Clan went in at the interval a goal down after Diego Iori's shot escaped Kyle Jones in Braehead Clan.

Braehead equalised during the middle period when Neil Trimm's well executed diagonal pass was tapped away by debutant Scott Pitt.

Then Matt Keith concluded a fantastic solo effort by lifting the puck into the roof of the net to make it 2-1.

Lee Esders added a third shorthanded as he swept down the inside right and sent his shot flying past Asiago goalie Vince Marozzi.

Daniel Borrelli pulled it back to 3-2, but Pitt poked it over the line for his second of the night as Braehead went 4-2 up on the powerplay.

Then Stefan Meyer rounded things off with an empty net goal on 59:17 to make it 5-2 for Braehead, tying the series at 1-1.

The scheduled extra 20 minute period was scrapped as both sides agreed to settle the contest on penalty shots.

And it was Derek Roehl who came up trumps to despatch the winning penalty shot and clinch the Aladdin Cup.

Afterwards, head coach Ryan Finnerty said: "We played better today and it was a good exercise for this time of the year.

"We still have a long way to go in terms of systems, but the guys looked more energised and dominated a lot of the play. It's been a good night."
