| CapJack Rangers | |
| Weekly Preview: | CapJack hosts Saskatoon and Mackinac Island this week hoping to continue their recent winning ways |
| Saskatoon Cyclone @ CapJack Rangers | Rangers employed an aggressive start hoping that a good offense could act as a good defense. By 5 minutes into period 2 it was 4-1 Rangers – Cloutier netting 2 of those goals. Gretzky (26) put one in at 14 minute mark in period 2, but it was quickly answered so Shard’s 3rd period goal wasn’t enough – especially when Gare got his 2nd goal 10 minutes later. Final 6-3 CapJack. STARS (all CAP) 1. Cloutier 2 goals 2. Gare 2 goals 3. Trottier 1 goal, 1 point (and he won 20 faceoffs) |
| Mackinac Island Moose @ CapJack Rangers | Well after getting past Gretzky and Saskatoon, the Rangers were flying pretty high. They then went out and scored 4 goals in the opening period of their encounter with the MOOSE. In between those 4 goals, Barber puts on in for Mackinac Island and period 1 ends 4-1 Rangers. Then the Moose roared (or snorted or whatever it is a Moose does – maybe a call – on a phone??). Barber gets his 2nd goal of the game in the 2nd and with it 4-2 and 6 minutes to go, Boutette scores, 4-3. Final minute and they pull the goalie and the home team fans groaned in unison as Zanussi steals on and puts the biscuit in the basket WITH ONE SECOND REMAINING IN THE GAME!!! UGH!!!!!! Game ends in a 4-4 tie. STARS: 1. (MAC) Barber 2 goals 2. (CAP) Shutt 1 goal, 1 assist 3. (CAP) Douglas 1 goal Meloche got a notable with 30 saves, Trottier for 17 faceoffs won. But how can you not credit Zanussi who STOLE the game from the Rangers. |

| Silk City Whales @ Vermont Foresters | vermont couldnt ask for a better team to look to turn things around then the whales, the owners of the leagues worst record. the foresters started ron grahame in net against mario lessard for silk city and it looked like the foresters made a big mistake. goals by eric vail and pat price had the foresters up 2-0 5:24 into the game. by the 10:57 mark of the 1st they were down 3-2 as kehoe, messier and sutter scored for the visitors. 5 minutes later craig ramsey tied the score at 3. vermont outshot silk city 16-8 after 1 period but the game was tied 3-3. the whales took the lead again on sutters second goal of the game with just over 7 minutes left in the 2nd. rich preston even things up at 4 with a late ppg in another period dominated by vermont with a 14-8 edge in shots on goal. the game remained tied for most of the 3rd period that vermont continued to dominate until eric vail scored his 2nd of the game with just under 6 minutes left. a little over a minute later craig ramsey followed with his 2nd of the game and reggie leach finished the scoring and the whales with an empty netter for the 7-4 final. the foresters attempted an astounding 90 shots, putting 50 on goal to 29 attempts with 20 on goal for the whales. ramsey ended up with 2 goals and an assist and vermonts leading scorer kent nilsson was held scoreless. |
| Biloxi Blades @ Vermont Foresters | the blades made the trip to b and j from mississippi for vermonts 2nd home game and saw a goaltender matchup of glen hanlon for the home team against john davidson for the visitors. mike foligno and vermont wasted little time getting things going with a goal less than a minute into the game. morris lukowich made it 2-0 with his 22nd goal of the year at the 13:17 mark of the 1st. play was balanced with sog even for the period at 9. the 2nd period saw a lot of action, a lot of shooting, 15-11 edge to biloxi, but no scoring. the 3rd period saw the balance swing back towards the home team with a 15-9 edge in shots and goals by reggie leach and dale mccourt in the first 6 minutes of the 3rd period and glen hanlon stood tall for his first shutout of the year and a 4-0 final for the foresters. dale mccourt had a goal and assist and eric vail and kent nilsson both had 2 assists. |

| Weekly Summary: | vermont was able to get the turn around they were looking for sweeping all 3 games only allowing 5 goals, 4 by grahame in the 1st game. vermont got back to their winning ways by playing strong defense and balanced offense. the powerplay was 3-14 and the pk was a perfect 13-13 for the week. |
