WEEKLY SUMMARY:<\/span><\/th>\nChicago does better than expected at home picking up 4 our of a possible 6 points on the week.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
CapJack Rangers<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
WEEKLY PREVIEW:<\/span><\/th>\nRangers still trying to catch Brooklyn and deal with some player issues get 2 home games this week including a matchup with the Harbor Rats – stay focused!!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Charlotte Dynamo @ CapJack Rangers<\/span><\/th>\nCharlotte’s Perreault gets the game’s 1st goal early on in the 1st – the Rangers rattle off 6 straight goals (3 in the 1st, 3 in the 2nd) on their way to a big 7-4 win. Rangers get goals from Martin, Tambellini, and DeBlois in the 1st. Then Lafluer, Siltanen, and Mulvey in the 2nd. Fergus then scores for Charlotte as the 2nd period closes. Hunter gets a goal with just over 6 to go in the 3rd to cut it to 6-3, but Palmer makes it 7-3 with a PP goal with just over 3 minutes remaining. Hawerchuck responds quickly to make it 7-4 – but the Rangers keep they Dynamo scoreless for the rest of the game.
\nThe game was quite chippy – in the 1st Wesley gets called for hooking on Trottier who is awarded a penalty shot, but Espo stops it. In the 2nd, Wesley and Lacroix get unsportsmanlike’s but the 3rd period saw a full card of bouts (with a bit of hockey thrown in).
\nAt 12:17 Hajt, Simmer, Hakansson and Cashman go off for fighting from Charlotte – and Simmer gets a Game MC. Trottier, Marsh, Robinson, and Mantha go off for CapJack – Marsh gets the Game MC – 40 minutes of fighting penalties!
\nSTARS: (all CAP)
\n1. DeBlois 1 goal, 1 assist
\n2. Tambellini 1 goal, 1 assist
\n3. Siltanen 1 goal, 1 assist
\nSimmer and Marsh get 17 PIM each<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Brooklyn Harbor Rats @ CapJack Rangers<\/span><\/th>\nThe stinking Rats from Brooklyn invade the Round Garden in a very big and much-anticipated game. Fortunately, the Purple and Gold shirts provided all the fans – so even when Brooklyn did anything good, there was no cheering. And they did some good, but was it enough?
\n1st period the Rangers give the Rats 3 power plays – but they stop them all. However, Sulliman gets the Rats on the board quickly with a goal 2 1\/2 minutes into the game. But while the Rats had their 2nd PP, Mulvey scores a short-handed goal to tie the game. 3 minutes later he scores an even-strength goal to put CapJack up 2-1. But Sutter ties it up a couple of minutes later – but Risto slaps one home 20 seconds later and the Rangers regain the lead 3-2 and that how period one closes.
\nMidway into the 2nd Stastny puts one past Bouchard to tie it up. But Shutt is able to get CapJack back up late in the period – only to have Christian score with 33 seconds left in the period to tie it 4-4 after 2. Oh, the last minute of a period things just go bonkers for the Rangers – we might need 19 minute periods.
\nPeriod 3 gets tense – looks like playoff hockey, the next goal is crucial – who, if anyone, will score? Well it boiled down to a play in the Brooklyn end, Tambellini wins the draw – to Lafluer – over to Russell who shots glove side high and he beats Millen. And that was the only goal of the period as the Rangers pull off the win, 5-4!
\nRangers give Brooklyn 5 PP opportunities and they convert on none of them. The 17 Brooklyn penalty minutes all coincided with Rangers penalties so CapJack had no PP opportunities.
\nSTARS: (all CAP – told you no Road Team Support)
\n1. Mulvey 2 goals
\n2. Trottier 3 assists
\n3. Shutt 1 goal, 1 assist<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
WEEKLY SUMMARY:<\/span><\/th>\nRangers go 2 for 2 at home and get a big win over Brooklyn! And just about all player issues are resolved for the rest of the season (almost all – YAY!)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Philadelphia Firebirds @  New Castle Ducks<\/span><\/th>\nPHI 3 NEW 1
\nIt is grudge match time as the fired-up Ducks take on the FIrebirds at the Duck Pond. There has been a lot of trash talk this past week as Birds Coach Don Brenner has done nothing but stir up the Ducks with his comments including unfurling a new banner in Philadelphia: “Fuck the Ducks”. Promising revenge, the Ducks dressed tough guys Barry Melrose and Randy Holt for the first time this season. And thinks started out the way they were expected when there was a bench-clearing brawl at ONE MINUTE TWENTY-SEVEN SECONDS of the first period! Al Secord and Bobby Clarke went at it and they were soon joined in the fight by Kenny Lineseman and Terry O’Reilly. When the dust settled all four players got fighting majors and Lineseman and O’Reilly each got game misconducts for joining the brawl.
\nAfter that, the two teams settled down to play hockey – and the Ducks struck first when Rick Middleton netted his 39th at 4:42. With Billy Smith in goal for the Ducks, New Castle took a 1-0 lead into the second period when Mel Bridgman scored SHORT HANDED for the Birds to tie it at 4;24. Less than three minutes later the great Dennis Maruk scored his FIFTY FOURTH of the year to put Philly ahead 2-1. And 25 seconds after Maruk’s goal Bridgman scored again to make it 3-1. Rick Wamsley was sensational in goal for Philly as he made 37 saves in the winning effort.
\nThe Ducks outshot the Firebirds 38-21 as Wamsley was the difference maker (18-7-2 now on the season).
\nTHREE STARS:
\n1- PHI – Bridgman 2 G
\n2-PHI – Wamsley 37 saves
\n3- PHI- Maruk 1GThe two teams were a combined 0-9 on the power play. Randy Caryle had 6 PIM for Philly and the Firebirds Lofthouse drew a 5 minute major for spearing as the roughhouse tactics continued.The Ducks look forward to their next battle with Philly and will seek revenge!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Chicago Underground @ New Castle Ducks<\/span><\/th>\nNEW 6 CHI 6<\/p>\n

The Underground has played the Ducks tough all season and this game was no exception. Trailing 6-4 with less than a minute to go, Chicago scored two empty-net goals to tie the game! Ken Houston scored his second of the game to make it 6-5 with 55 seconds left – and then with 37 seconds to go Clark Gillies put the puck past a beleaguered Billy Smith to tie the game as the Ducks fans sat in shocked silence.
\nBarry Pederson scored twice for the Ducks to give him 51 goals on the season. And newly acquired Steve Bozek scored his first two goals as a Duck – and did it 30 seconds apart in the second period!
\nTHREE STARS:
\n1- CHI Houston 2 G 2 A 4 Pts
\n2- NEW Bozek 2 G
\n3- NEW Pederson 2 G<\/p>\n

New Castle outshot Chicago 31-27. Both goalies (Pete Peeters and Smith) were shaky.
\n2- NEW Bozek 2 G<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

WEEKLY SUMMARY:<\/span><\/th>\nA disappointing week for the Ducks as they get only 1 of a possible 4 points and lose to their hated rivals, the Firebirds. New Castle sacrificed some of their future by trading Dave Hunter and a pick to Charlotte earlier this week to acquire high scoring winger Steve Bozek. The Ducks have struggled after a fast start and it will take a miracle for them to catch the Firebirds for the division title<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Mackinac Island Moose<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
WEEKLY PREVIEW:<\/span><\/th>\n3 big home games this week culminating in a game against division rival North Carolina.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ohio Legends @ Mackinac Island Moose<\/span><\/th>\nMoose 6, Legends 5 – The goalies dominate the first period. the only blemish on an otherwise perfect defensive performance is a steal and breakaway by Smyl. A small fight between Manno and Giles, and a much better battle between Patrick and Lysiak, ends in a draw. Period ends 1-0 Moose.<\/p>\n

2nd period the dam bursts and offense prevails. Gage, Federko, Manno, Molin and Anderson score for Ohio, 3 of those on the powerplay. The Moose counter with goals from Lysiak, Dunlop, and Propp. Shellshocked goalies go to the 2nd intermission with the Legends up 5-4.<\/p>\n

3rd period the defenses take control. The Moose more so than the visitor. Melanson stops all 7 shots he faces, while the Moose manages to sneak 2 in, Napier with the equalizer, and Lysiak with the game-winner, at the 10-minute mark.<\/p>\n

1st star – Propp 1G 3pts
\n2nd – Lysiak 2G
\n3rd – Dunlop 1G 2pts<\/p>\n

Legends an impressive 3-5 on the powerplay.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Saint Clair Shores Saints @ Mackinac Island Moose<\/span><\/th>\nMoose 5, Saints 1 – Meloche is nearly perfect in shutting down the Saints offense, allowing only an early 3rd-period goal. The Moose get a 1st-period goal from Napier, and 2nd-period goal from Barber, and then both of the aforementioned Moose add one more, and Smith gets a rare goal from the blue line.<\/p>\n

1st star – Napier 2G
\n2nd – Barber 2G
\n3rd – Meloche 26 saves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

North Carolina 89’ers @ Mackinac Island Moose<\/span><\/th>\n89’ers 1, Moose 0 – Lupul gets the scoring started early, just 4 minutes in, and then the goalies shut down the rest of the action for the remainder of the game. Soetaert pitches a perfect 37 save shutout. Melanson nearly perfect with 24 saves. Propp keeps the home team on the defensive early with 3 penalties in the 1st period. Marois matches his effort with 3 penalties in the game.<\/p>\n

1st star – Soeraert 37 save shutout
\n2nd – Lupul 1G
\n3rd – Melanson 24 saves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

WEEKLY SUMMARY:<\/span><\/th>\n2 big wins and then a crushing loss to the pesky 89’ers. Hoping we could knock those guys back a few points, but instead we leave the door open to a late-season race.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
North Carolina 89’ers<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
WEEKLY PREVIEW:<\/span><\/th>\nTwo important games against division rivals Mackinac Island and Saint Clair Shores<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Charlotte Dynamo<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
WEEKLY PREVIEW:<\/span><\/th>\nThe Dynamo’s once realistic playoff hopes (despite an uneven record) evaporated after suffering through a recent 1-9-1 slump that began on January 18 and extended through February 3. Charlotte was playing for pride at this point when it hosted division rivals Brooklyn and CapJack this latest week.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Brooklyn Harbor Rats @ Charlotte Dynamo<\/span><\/th>\nCharlotte for a change finds itself on the side of a late game-winning goal when Blake Wesley converts a pass from Mike Rogers with 1:35 left in the game and defeats Brooklyn, 4-3. Trailing 3-1, Brooklyn overcomes a 3-1 deficit to tie the game before ultimately falling. During this 40th anniversary week of the 1980 Miracle on Ice, Dave Christian scores for Brooklyn to narrow the Charlotte lead to 3-2. Later, Daryl Sutter scores his second of two power-play goals to knot things up at 3-3, 12 minutes into the third, prior to Wesley’s heroics.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
CapJack Rangers @ Charlotte Dynamo<\/span><\/th>\nThis game exemplified “closer than the final score indicated”. CapJack defeated Charlotte 10-6 but the final tally is quite deceiving. In fact, the game was knotted at 6-6 with less than four minutes to play, before the Rangers surprise the Dynamo with four decisive goals. Bryan Trottier scores the game-winner with 3:31 left, then after the Dynamo pulls Tony Esposito, Trottier deposits his second goal of the game into an empty net with 1:01 to play. Siltanen (empty net) and DeBlois add late inconsequential goals for Cap Jack. Guy Lafleur’s hat trick had sparked CapJack to an early 4-3 lead in what was for most of the contest a back and forth affair.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
WEEKLY SUMMARY:<\/span><\/th>\nCharlotte grabs two of a potential four points at home, and after some disastrous extended slumps this season seeks to avoid the ignominy of the league’s worst record.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
