I haven\u2019t scored in a couple games here so it was good to get the monkey off my back,\u201d said Alfaro.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams then traded goals until the second overtime, when Cain Franson scored on a breakaway to win the game for the Dinos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot going to lie, it felt really good. It\u2019s been a couple games since I\u2019ve scored,\u201d said Cain Franson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just remember picking up the puck at our red line, heading towards our end and (Chrs) Collins tripped and fell at our blue line.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just saw that he was getting back up and I just went with my instincts and gave the puck back to him. I took off on the far side and I knew I had a step on our guy so I was hollering for it and he made a heck of a pass,\u201d said Franson.<\/p>\n<p>Even though it was a tough loss for the Cougars, they weren\u2019t hanging their heads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tough to have a third time in a row double-overtime loss, but I mean we can\u2019t beat ourselves up about it too much. We just need to get ourselves ready for the game tomorrow,\u201d said King, after scoring two of the five goals for the Cougars.<\/p>\n<p>The Dinos won the second of the back-to-back Classic games, by a 4-2 score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The University of Calgary Dinos men\u2019s hockey team win an action packed Crowchild Classic against the Mount Royal Cougars in stunning fashion 6-5 in second overtime at the Scotiabank Saddledome. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/2018\/03\/10\/dinos-win-a-double-overtime-thriller-before-10478-fans-in-crowchild-classic\/\" title=\"Dinos win a double-overtime thriller before 10,478 fans in Crowchild Classic\">[ READ MORE ]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":440,"featured_media":42703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"_ef_editorial_meta_text_assignment-slug":"S2 Crowchild Classic","footnotes":""},"categories":[1585,17,18],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-42698","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-image","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-junior-amateur-sports","8":"category-sports","9":"category-u-of-calgary","10":"post_format-post-format-image"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/440"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42698"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43872,"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42698\/revisions\/43872"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saitjournalism.ca\/thepress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
