The Minivans put last game's ugly debacle behind them and came out with a solid effort against the Titans and got the win to push their record back over .500 and gain a valuable 2 points as they try to keep pace with the Drunks.
Stoute was back from serving his 1-game suspension
Overall it was a solid effort and the Titans just couldnt keep up with the cycle of the 'Vans. The Titans were tired after the first weren't able to get the same scoring chances.
Brawley sniped a goal late in the first and you could tell that helped the Vans a bit because they had gotten their chances in the first but werent able to find a way to beat their goalie (who actually had a pretty solid game. stopped 2 breakaways and had probably 25 or more saves).
The 'Vans struck again early into the 2nd on a goal by Hackett from Stoute and Stabs.
Cheese got tripped pretty badly going into the boards behind the Titans net and wrecked his knee in the process halfway through the second. The Minivans weren't able to capitalize on the powerplay and the score remained 2-0 going into the third.
Halfway through the third period Cheese lit the lamp with helpers from Brawley and Stabs and put the 'Vans ahead 3-0. Good to see no real damage on the knee, cant afford to lose anyone on the team.
2 minutes later, with 4:40 remaining Hackett got his second of the night on a powerplay and put the game out of reach if it wasnt already.
Final score is 4-0 for the Minivans
Shoutouts
- Good game by Baskie, still among the best in the league and that won't be the last shutout this season
- Hackett had 3 points (2G, 1A) and so did Stoute (3A), good game by both of them
- Beavy played solid, that goal is comin any week now
- Stabs played real tough tonight. He was really giving it to the Titans players and they were getting pissed off at him and at their own teammates so that tactic was key.
- Good game team, lets keep this going
