Kent Simpson celebrated his 18th birthday, making 21 saves, helping the Tips to the win.
Everett now has a three games to two lead in the series heading into game six Saturday in Kelowna.
The shutout loss was the Rockets first in the playoffs since 2006, when Leland Irving made 41 saves in a 2-0 win at the Comcast Arena on April 11/2006.
Here is the audio of the back breaker in game five. It's a short handed goal from Tyler Maxwell with 11 minutes gone in the second period. A Rockets power play goal would have made it a one goal game. Maxwell scores to make it a 3-0 lead for the Tips.

Weren't the Rockets suppose to have momentum tonight? I thought for sure the Rockets would have made this more of a game.
Then again maybe it could be a good thing they lost tonight as long as the rockets win tomorrow night. If the Rockets won tonight and then lost at home tomorrow, would the Rockets have been able to win again in Everett?
