1982/83 SKATER & GOALIE OF THE WEEK #14

Period 1 – Charlestown grabs a 2-1 scoring 2 power-play goals – McKegney and Gradin after Mike Allison opened the scoring 6 minutes in.

Period 2 – Trottier ties the game 16 seconds in. Then the team’s trade the next 5 goals with Murphy, Coffey, and Coffey (again) scoring for the Chiefs and DeBlois and Trottier (again) scoring for the Rangers. McKegney(again) breaks the pattern scoring for Charlestown giving them a 6-4 lead with 4 1/2 to go in the 2nd. So the Rangers go for the 2 straight goals to end the period with Crowder and Maloney chipping in and after the 9 goals 2nd period, the score stands 6-6.

3rd Period – Hlinka & the Chiefs break the tie 3 minutes in when he redirects one past Resch. At this point the fans were wondering if there was someone else in Chico’s uniform, he certainly wasn’t stopping much. But after lifting himself off the ice, he looked at his teammates and said – OK, let’s start playing good old-time Rangers hockey. And that woke up the squad. Russel scores 2 minutes later to tie the game. Then Ray Allison puts one in with 7 to go for the lead and Wamsley comes in as Riggin goes out. And a minute later Neufeld scores making it 9-7 Rangers with 6 to go. Charlestown doesn’t give up and they pull Wamsley (neither team should have had a goalie playing in this game anyway). And with 58 seconds left Gardner scores to make it 9-8 Rangers! Are you kidding me? The final minute sees lots of action in the Ranger’s end and Russell blocks two and Resch saves two and the final buzzer sounds and the Rangers hang on for the 9-8 win! Whew (another 9 goal game and they are sweating bullets to garner the win).
STARS
1. (CAP) – Trottier 2 goals, 1 assist
2. (CHA) – McKegney 2 goals
3. (CHA) – Coffey 2 goals, 1 assist
Charlestown won 61.5% of the faceoffs, Rangers outshot them 41-33 with 21 of those 41 in the 5 goal 2nd period.

But North Carolina gets on the board early in the 2nd when Ogrodnick beats Garrett – but that’s the only time that happens. DeBlois scores for the Rangers in the 2nd, he scores again early in the 3rd as Maloney finishes the scoring shortly after DeBlois’s 3rd-period goal. Rangers again score a bunch – 7 goals, but this time they only give up 1! Final 7-1 CapJack
STARS (all CAP)
1. DeBlois 2 goals
2. Maloney 1 goal 1 assist
3. Trottier 1 goal, 1 assist

Barry Pederson broke a 2-2 tie with 1:44 left in the game, scoring his second of the game and FORTY SECOND of the season. Willy Lindstrom and Brad McCrimmon assisted on the winning goal. NCD took a 2-0 lead in the first period on goals by Pederson and Steve Kasper. CAT tied it later in the period on goals by Mike Bullard and Bobby Carpenter. The game stayed tied at 2-2 until Pederson’s game-winner, late in the third.
Billy Smith made 31 saves for the Ducks

THREE STARS:
1- NCD Pederson 2G
2- NCD Kasper 1G
3- NCD Smith 31 saves

John VanBoxmeeer’s goal 31 seconds in set the tone for the game, and week. Steve Larimer drove the offense with two goals and three assists for five points. Jorgen Petterson added four assists and Darryl Sittler chipped in a pair of goals in this one. Ohio got a goal and an assist each from Glen Currie and Mark Pavelich.

Ohio won the shots battle (its only win this night), 35-24. The Spirit capped the night by going three-for-four with the man-advantage, while Ohio went one-for-four on the power play. Pelle Lindbergh was solid in goal, stopping 31 shots, while Dan Bouchard turned away 16.

Mike Blaisdell’s goal 3:01 in set the Underground up for the win. Ric Seiling and Peter McNab had the other goals for Chicago. Bernie Federko’s power-play goal was the only tally for Ohio.

Again, the Legends won the shots battle (their only win of the night), 22-20. Ohio did cash in on one-of-six power-play opportunities, while Chicago went zero-for-three. Pete Peeters picked up the win in net, stopping 21 and Glen Hanlon absorbed the loss with 17 saves.

It took Craig Ramsey just 3:03 to get the Ducks the only goal they would need in this one. Rick Middleton also scored in the eighth minute of the game to close the scoring for the game.

Ohio again won the shots battle (the only…..ah, forget it–same story as the last two games!), 16-13. The Ducks were limited to just six shots in the final 40 minutes of the contest.

Both teams were shutout on the power plays, as Ohio failed in five chances and New Castle came away empty in six tries. Don Edwards collected his tenth win and second shutout of the year with 16 saves and Dan Bouchard was the loser with eleven saves. For Edwards, it was his first shutout in four starts since January 18 with a 25 save performance in a 1-0 at St. Clair Shores.

Sutter and Bullard score twice as the Cardinals snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in the 3rd! Oh, and Goulet may have scored a hat trick or something.

After 3 periods of high flying action, both sides switched to ice dancing for 5 minutes to leave it a tie.

Catoctin 3 SCS 1

1- Smail
2- Murphy
3- Sauve

Sittler and Laughlin net two goals each, and Larmer adds 2 assists, but St. Croix couldn’t hold the 3rd-period lead and let up the game-winning goal with THREE SECONDS LEFT!!

Heartbreaking loss…

Second-period things get rolling. MacLean with a trip allows Texas a powerplay and its Poddubny scoring in a flurry of shots and rebounds. A few minutes later the Moose get the lead back when Terrion gets a rare score. 5 minutes later the Moose let their guard down, and McKechnie ties the game at 2. That lead lasts for 26 seconds until Kurri scores. Things settle down and the period ends 3-2 Moose.

3rd period Texas puts the heat on with 15 SOG. All that in spite of having to kill 2 penalties. But Melanson stops them all, and Dunlop adds in insurance goal early to let the Moose escape with a 4-2 win.
