CINCINNATI - Make no mistake about it, forward Evan Barlow was tired. Heck, the entire team was tired.

But what do you expect when the team, the day before Game 3 of the Kelly Cup Finals, has to fly from Boise to Reno to Las Vegas to Columbus, Ohio, only then to catch a bus for a two-hour drive to Cincinnati? What do you expect when the team's Monday dinner plan was to stop at a gas station along Interstate 71 and find whatever sodium-filled, nutrition-less food they could throw down their throats? What do you expect when you don't reach the hotel until 2 a.m.?

Yeah, Barlow was tired Tuesday night, especially when Idaho entered double overtime in desperate need of a victory. But none of that mattered. He needed to find an opening, and center Kevin DeVergilio gave him one.
