CondorsTalk - > Condors Talk -> Derlago hero of Game 5
Derlago hero of Game 5

I feel for the fans who did not get back in their seats for the start of overtime Saturday night at Rabobank Arena.
They missed one of the most dramatic victories in Condors history.
Mark Derlago blasted a slap shot from the left circle past Las Vegas goaltender  John DeCaro 11 seconds into the extra frame to lift the Condors to a 4-3 victory and 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
The celebration was one for the books as well as the 5,000-fans roared their approval in a thundering ovation for several minutes.
Oh yeah. It was Derlago's third goal and third hat trick of the season.
It was a gritty, hard-working effort for the Condors, who bounced back from a sub-par effort on Friday night.
But these guys do no make things easy.
They squandered an early two-goal lead and all the momentum with two penalties that put the Wranglers on a two-man power play advantage.
The Wranglers scored, naturally, added a short-hander to tie the game early in the second and then went up 3-2 on a 3-on-1 rush seconds after a Bakersfield power-play expired.
Derlago tied the game late in the second and a scoreless third period set the stage for Bakersfield's second OT win in three games.
Now the Condors head back to Las Vegas for Game 6 on Tuesday.
Hopefully they're heading back to Bakersfield late that night to get ready for second-round action.
