Rough Riders take a chippy game one, 8-3.
Game 1:
The 2nd and 3rd place teams met in the playoffs this week, just 7 days after they finished the regular season in a fiery, but mostly peaceful game. Green looked good early, getting a pair of Flanagan goals to take a 2-1 lead to first recess. But they would have all kinds of trouble clearing the zone in the 2nd and 3rd periods. This allowed guys like Al Peterson and Dan Ryan to pick up goals, and put the yellow team comfortably ahead. Goalie Ben Minsk not only watched his son Jacob score 3 goals in this one, but had his glove workiing better than O.J. He kept the green team off the board in the third to secure the game one win. "It was nice to see Bob Powell out there late in the game, with some well earned third period ice time," said Bob Powell. "Well, we only had 9 guys, so yeah Bob got more than his usual one shift per period," noted Rick Armand. Next week Gold only needs to tie to advance to the finals. |
