On day 43 The Donuts hosted the Florida Eels back in the bag. It would be a night to remember for the fans. To be honest, the fans expected a win with the team in win-era and Florida in the other end of the spectrum.
The team cruised to a 11-1 win and the fans where joyous. The onslaught started at the 37 second mark with a Elias combo, Lindholm scoring with a feed from Pettersson. The Donuts scored another two goals in the first to lead 3-0 in the first intermission. It was the period they scored the fewest goals in, since they added another four in each of the following periods.
The goals was spread out with 9 different scorers and notably Pastrnak couldn't even get a point. Colin Dellia started the game in the net the Eels, but he wasn't electric tonight and was switched to Magnus Hellberg at 33 seconds into the second period when the Donuts scored for a 4-0 lead. Dellia then had to return to play at 2 minutes into the third period. A different night for the goalie tandem for sure.
But a few hours later someone wondered how many goals has ever been scored in by a team in the Simon 6 year history. It turned out no team has ever scored 11 goals in a game before. So the Donuts are now the league record holder for number of goals in a game, history is made. Several games have seen 10 goals including a game from Wisborg and four occasions by Fort Erie. Since they also tied the lead for assists in a game they also took possession of the number of points in a game.
Earlier in the week they also set a team record for most shots in a game, as they fired 62 shots against Calgary just two games before. That is however one below the league record by several team at 63 shots. Curiously that was the second game this week against Calgary in Calgary and the game before was "only" 53 shots on goals. But that was only because Calgary blocked 28 shots in that game, that is also a league record and I guess the Donuts can take some credit for it.
So an interesting week with the Donuts involved in several league and team records
