The last game before the holiday break, the Argonauts were matched up in a tightly fought game against the perennial cup contenders the Texas Renegades. After having their playoff hopes dashed in the first round last season, the Argonauts want their revenge. After dropping their first game of the season against Texas already, Seattle is hoping to bounce back and tie the season series at one a piece. Off a quick defensive takeaway by Kal Akar Kekkonen, he dished a long stretch pass up to Prince Marius who made no mistake on the breakaway, with a slick toe-drag to the backhand into the net to tie the game at 4-4 with just a minute left in the third period.
Entering overtime, the Argonauts had a play they were hoping to execute to catch the Renegades off guard that they executed perfectly. Forcing Texas to dump the puck in, Losanov froze the puck for a defensive zone faceoff for Seattle. Pinli Switchbang, Shadow Fenix, Squidwardo Tentacles, Olivija Agate and Kal Akar Kekkonen hop over the boards knowing the plan. Fenix ties the opposing center up on the draw, Tentacles comes in and taps the puck to Agate, who hammers a slap shot down off the end boards. Switchbang was skating hard towards the opposing end and manages to beat the icing call and is in all alone! After a slick backhand to forehand dangle, Switchbang roofs it over the glove of the Texas goaltender and the entire Bench erupts as the Argos head into the Christmas break on a positive note. ]
