https://history.vintagemnhockey.com/page/show/841179-1990
Than he did last night he’s got great skills he just seemed a little jittery and nervous on some of his passes and a few times on his thick handling the puck just got off a stick when he had a man beat I think you’re going to see a much
Better Billy Lun tonight and if you do that’s a great deal of trouble for minetonka there’s the golender we talked so much about last night Jerome Butler 19 saves many of them were top Paul Scully has been the Workhorse for the minona Skippers a record of 14 for
On the year he is a senior Butler just a junior and the two big lines will go head-to-head to start the game L gotsman and Heights against panov Mor and heinson that minaka big line got a goal from each member of the line last night in their Victory right away Roso gets it
Down deep in the zone that’s gotaman with it good looking forward scores Chris Scotsman 9 seconds into the game well he had to make a good little move to get free took the puck from the right side he made a move to get to the middle
And let go with a high hard shot beating Scully over the stick side Roso with that explosive front line at 87 goals this year look at godsman he takes that puck pulls it inside gets free and up in the corner over the stick giving Roso a one- nothing [Applause]
Lead some people have thrown some uh paper on the ice so it’ll be a little hold up but gotsman getting the goal very quickly with an assist from Heights good little move there did you see him pull that puck inside and he gets to the shooting area and lets fly
From 25 ft colender Scully really was beat by a good shot gosman’s second goal of the tournament he had a goal and an assist last night nine seconds the time of the goal and if you believe in these stats this could be telling Roso is 35 and five in the state tournament when
They have scored first and they didn’t waste any time tonight check that 19 seconds is the time of the goal 19 seconds gsman now it’s Cory how around the boards and gutsman has it again here’s gutsman to Center clearing it in going after it there’s Bill Lun gsman has it
On the near side boards gsman behind the net to Lun L tried to bank it off a player in front and covering up is Paul Scully so the Roso Rams are off and running Roso likes to work that puug down deep in the offensive Corners gotsman there had it
In the corner then he gives it behind the net to Lun Lun operates behind anetta a lot and when he does that either godsman or height sets up 20 ft High out in the slot area away from the defenseman and they get free quite often get good position for shots Shan
Goldsworthy now out there here’s a shot right off the faceof wisloff had it blocked kept in though by Roso they’ve got McHugh galsworthy and lar Ro out for minaka and this is Shan galsworthy hitting the line galsworthy check from behind puts it out in front and now out at Center Ice it’s l
Ro up it goes to goldsworthy he hits the line and it’s called on the offs side the RO just getting over a stride ahead of goldsworthy might have been a two-on-one goldsworthy was just trying to get control of that zone get it over to L Ro Roso changing their lines
Quickly wanting to get everybody in the game so minono with the last change follows right up David McDonald Dale Gunderson and Mike hugan on the ice now for the Roso Rams Pat Ward ran Kennedy John Bron dad that’s Ward on the ice and it’s fired in by Cory how back
To get it is GRE touser around the board bronstad had trouble with it here’s a chance and a shot is blocked by touser kept in by Roso and now it slides out to center brunstad after it there Here Comes Ryan Kennedy with the shot scores Ryan Kennedy answers for
Minaka what a bullet Kennedy let fly coming with some speed he got his whole body into that one he got out about 45 ft and shot beat Butler right over the glove hand side Butler didn’t even react till that puck was in the net watch this coming with some speed Kennedy uses the
Defenseman for a screen let’s fly and that puck is in the net before the glove move so Kennedy from bronstad Brad gets one assist Ward the other the time of the goal is 142 and it’s 1 minaka has been a don’t say quit Team all year long so we don’t expect they’ll
Roll over tonight back comes Dale Gunderson he centers it out in front that’s broken up and back comes [Applause] Ken cleared in here’s a blose puck and Jas Bren Hopper has got to be careful now he gets it out to brunstad Long Shot steered aside by
Butler and back in his own Zone to get it is Jamie buffin on the right wing it goes to David McDonald McDonald at the end of a shift heads to the bench and minaka will get control in their own Zone ainson panov and mor out there now for the Skippers it’s
Higginson takes a hit clears it in and panco goes after it buffin gets it ahead there’s panov intercepting the loose Puck put it out in front hainon the hero last night four checking along with Mor and now it’s cleared out on the right side and here’s the goal scorer
Gotsman gsman gets it ahead to Heights Heights couldn’t get past Jason Bren Hopper now John Christ is after clears it to the point kept in by buffin on the near side gsman behind the goal and there is L trying to shoot from behind the goal again maybe he’s seen something in
Goenda Skully there’s a break in the action we’ll be right back with the Minnesota State High School hockey tournament period but cleared over the glass and out of play minaka trying to become the fifth team from section six to reach the championship game the other four Bloomington Richfield to D and
East minona certainly looking better this early in the game than they did yesterday some big numbers on the board those top three scores for the Roso Rams all off the same line that combined for 87 goals this year coming into the tournament there’s a shot by Headland he’s another division one Prospect back
To the point it comes Puck cleared in hit a man they put it out in front and a shot goes wide of the goal Jason Hansen Dale lond and Todd hund out there right now but back the other way comes Steve hop lead pass put his man off side and
We’ll have a face off outside the blue line as we take a look at the scoring numbers for the minaka Skippers and those three players all off the same line as well so they load up their scoring they’ll find out which line can dominate tonight that
Right wing Hobie Mar has got a excellent R shot mar Just a sophomore Ryan Kennedy clears it in Pat wart first to get there puts it out in front Kennedy is after it and now Roso comes up with a puck and it’s Dale Gunderson putting it ahead to Mike hugan
Hugan chasing after it Kelly Melton went down he’s the player hurting a bit on the defense for Lea Skippers they go to the boards and big Melton has it now number five with the thigh injury gets it ahead a lead pass too far for Ward and icing is the call with the score
Roso one manono one this is hockey 90 36 to go whistle blown Puck played over the shoulder with the stick face off come all the way down into Roso Zone M Tak has got to be feeling pretty good Chris at this time they’ve come out and skated
Very well right off the bat they tied the game at one they’re getting uh the puck out of their Zone much better than they did at the beginning last night and from the face off Roso comes up with it it’s gsman now down the ice with Heights Heights tried to drop it
Looking for gsman or L the trailers and it was broken up back the other way comes T touser touser hits the line trying to barge through and he was knocked down toer is another sophomore they’ve got a couple of dandies on this minaka team but cleared to the
Quter that’s Cory how being watched there panc steals centers and the shot by higginson was blocked minaka certainly noty in awe of this Roso team here comes gsman with the shot well wide of the mark around the boards Roso on a line change panov with
Some room got it out to Center ice now it’s wilop cross ice pass and offside is the call 938 to go first period they tell me that Dawn Ro of Roso back in 1959 had the quickest goal to start a game 8 seconds gotsman there scoring at
The 19 second Mark Don Ros had a shot that he can beat you from almost anywhere once he got over that red line excellent Slap Shot he played after North Dakota and then with the national teams and Olympic team fing hockey player goals worthy McHugh and L Ro out
For minaka as Headland shot is right on Chris around the board and there’s galsworthy he just clears it to Center and wisloff fires it back [Applause] in on the near Side Jason Hansen goes after it headlin with the shot off the side of the net Dale L fighting for it
No relation to Bill one and now goldsworthy starts back Shan galsworthy hits the line and offside once again the call Shawn made a move just before the blue line he had his men going with him had he got control of that zone over on the right side McHugh was
Breaking down but he just made a de before the Blue Line MCH could hold up one offside minona is playing good position in their own Zone they’re getting the bu Puck out quickly the defense gets it to the wing he’s got nothing to do with it he’s just dumping
It out the center but the relieving the pressure from Roso not allowing them to use that for checking ability that they have you know one of the keys I thought last night for Roso as their third line really dominant at White Bear Lake they’re out on the ice now and this is Gunderson
Gunderson can’t lose but tonight so far it’s been minat tonka’s third line with a goal already from Ryan Kennedy so the matchup of these two lines could be important Dale Gunderson Can’t Get Loose there’s Pat Ward hauling his man down and Kennedy off the backboards to Kelly Melton 6’3
180 lb senior and now minaka gets it down the ice and icing is the call 821 to go with the score Roso one Min tono one this is hockey 90 live from the St Paul Civic keeping pank off’s line against Billy line Billy L’s line every opportunity tonight lead pass for panov
Now Mor moves inside the line Obie Mor’s got that quick shot and it whistled off the glove of Butler number seven can really let them fly and they hold it for a face off this time in the Roso Zone he almost beat Butler with that one Butler just reacted
At the last second got a piece of it knocked it over the net but he let fly with a good wrist shot he comes down pulls that puck in close and he just fired right by the defenseman’s leg excellent wrist shot Buck out at Center Ice there’s
Higginson on this near side with some room tried to put it in front here’s a shot from well out Butler steers it aside now the Roso Ram start back on the left side it’s Heights with gsman play broken up it’s kept in at the line by wentoff the shot goes weak and
Wide in behind the goal Roso maintains possession tries to center it and now back out comes vaka Justin McHugh knocked down as he moved inside the line good body check there and the crowd responds he’ll one fighting forth and now moving inside the line the Rams
Checked off the puck as McHugh came back defensively Cory how had it slide by him now there’s a race and Butler comes well out of his neck mchu in the corner Cent out in front now it’s mugh again off the boards and the Rams collect the loose
Puck with s minutes to go here in the first period John bronstad around the boards dond is there in the corner Kelly Melton off the glass kept in and on this near side it’s l Ro to the line but kept in once again here’s Big Todd headin
Trying to get loose edin taken to the boards by Greg touser back to the point it doesn’t get to buckin and on goldsworthy just flipping it down into Roso territory goldsworthy heads to the bench with 6 and 1/2 minutes to go here’s a loose Puck and a shot right on
Butler with the save and he’ll hold on for a faceof a break in the action we’ll be right back with the Minnesota State High School hockey tournament trying to pull that puck through he did it last night and it worked however tonight he gets taken
Down with a good check by Cory how of Roso from the face Puck rolls to the Blue Line kept in by Steve Huff Cory how can’t find it he’s being watched by Ryan Kennedy and Chris that puck is not sliding that well it almost looks like
The ice might be a little soft you notice the stick handlers a couple times thought they had a man beaten the puck and slide with him and it’s not sliding as quickly and they’re going to have to pass it harder for one thing and it’s going to make it tougher to stick handle
As his ice gets soft from so many people in the building get some water on it the puck doesn’t slide nearly as well here’s Ward behind the goal you notice it more I think at the end of a period as well I was watching Billy lung try to
Pull it through and one of the other uho skaters and the puck didn’t come through as quickly as it normally would that throws a stick on the off and sometimes he don’t even get control of it good hit there as Dale Gunderson was knocked down as he rushed into the zone and we’ll
Take another look at this body contact well Dale takes the hits here but on the Roso team Dave usually gives him number 10 the defenseman he threw three real good checks last night you expect him to do the same here tonight on the face off Bill lond against POF and POF does a
Good job controlling that [Applause] drop on the fire boards and a taco play is knocked down talks about sliding at all slow down a couple of fastpaced teams there’s Christ in the corner against Bill L trying to center it that comes on the near side higginson was really belted into
The boards and the puck slides out to Center and back to get it is Jamie buffin buffin clears it in wide of golender Paul Skully and icing is the call 505 left in Period wide one thing you would expect Mino is going to do tonight and they seem to be doing it is
Use the body take the bodies we look at their leading scorer Mike pankov he’s got a big job ahead of him tonight keeping Billy lond off the board but minaka has got some very physical iCal players and they are expected to use their body to slow down the quickness of
Ros over here Londa gain gosw Worthy on this face off and lond wins the draw they go to the boards there’s lose trying to put it in front it comes back to the point here comes the big shot and that whistled wide off the Stick of Jason Gren Hopper Christ is hit by
Headland as he keeps it in and now the minaka Skippers do some for checking pu is lo comes back to Bren hoofer over on the far side for galsworthy goldsworthy walked by lond puts it out in front and headin gobbles it up and out come the
Roso Rams four and A2 minutes to go as Hansen took the shot Headland rebound just put it wide close call there for the Rams back to the point it’s kept in by Cory how Bren Hopper big defenseman 6′ three he leaves it and now out comes Justin McHugh and McHugh is belted at
Center Ice he was out of control there that’s his second time tonight he’s taking a heavy hit back from the Rams David McDonald’s pass was broken up on a good defensive play by Pat Ward Ward had a goal last night now here come the Roso
Rams hugan stays with it puts it out in front and it’s steered aside by Scully back to the point cleared in behind the goal Huff is there pop off the boards kept in though by wilock Rams trying to apply some pressure hugan is after it now it’s cleared outside the line
Flipped up into the air and wentoff has it across it goes to buffin on the Move inside the line McDonald Can’t Get Loose and the puck finally cleared and icing is the call against minona breaking the action we’ll be right back with the Minnesota State High School hockey 200 of the students down
Here now we’ve got the face off to the right of Scully and it comes right on to the goal tender who wisely hangs on for another face off gotsman breaking right to the net with that Long Reach gotsman himself 6’2 194 big strong Wing this Roso Hockey
Club this game got off to a Tor start both teams scoring in the first two minutes of the game and things have slowed down a bit and I think as you mentioned Lou it it may be the ice conditions have brought the speed of the
Game down just a notch well just look at how much that puck is bouncing it just seems to be bouncing everyone stick as well and that’s what happens when that ice gets off see hu puts it out to Center Ice hanov couldn’t grab the bouncing puck now on the near side
Hinson bodies with Cory how how comes up with it ahead to Heights and Drake toer broke that up inside the line it comes cleared to the corner by Huff in to help out is panov Puck comes out in front and panov has it panov’s at the end of a shift but he’s
Going to go with it anyway nice move by panov and well he just didn’t have one more move in the repertoire but he went through the defense nicely couldn’t get a good shot on goal he used that same move twice and he worked twice he tried it a third time didn’t quite get
On the net here’s L Roan front battling for it after that centering pass by McHugh but back now comes Roso down the ice they come inside the line Dale L dropped it back it was broken up by galsworthy and now L Ro gloves it outside the line
Cleared back in by buffin down to 1 minute 52 seconds to go in Period number one we’ve got a 1-1 tie two teams battling it out for the right to meet Grand Rapids in the state champ I ship tomorrow Kelly Melton in his own zone now Christ and they just get it
Outside the line and Roso fires it right back in David McDonald Dale Gunderson and Mike hugan out on the ice there’s Melton losing his helmet and here’s a possible break a lead pass and this Ryan Kennedy in and he just shot wide Butler may have got a piece of it
Kennedy rid hard into the boards close call there and Roso dumps to Center Chris hits somebody at the Roso bench as he tried to clear it back in and now circling in his own Zone as Jason Bren Hopper with one minute to go in the first period and icing the call against
Minaka panov put on a couple of nice moves earlier and he almost got free for a good opportunity number 17 he’s got the good inside move well he pulls it once here and goes to the outside side see the puck is just not sliding for him
Then he pulls it inside right here gets it through and just gets checked at the last minute Kelly Melton had his helmet knocked off so he had to go to the bench immediately as he did that Bren hoer jumped on he was the man that got the
Puck when Melton’s coming to the bench he fed it a long pass to Kennedy Kennedy was in all alone miss the N here’s buffin with the shot whistled at wide on the other side wisloff pitches in knocks his Man Down 45 seconds to go or 46 as the whistle BL [Applause]
And play is stopped in minaka Territory not too surprising that the big lines would be out in the final minute trying to get that Advantage before the two teams head to the dressing room lond wins the draw wlob takes the shot hit Bill lond and the puck chopped out over the Blue Line flip
Back in Roso Rams check up and they’re on side now and here’s a breakway pass that misses panov and icing was waved off so play will continue as wisloff goes back into his own Zone hit higginson with the first pass there you see the time remaining in the first
Period here’s an interception as Sha goldsworthy moved in Lost His footing and Roso clears back the other way gutsman can’t get loose they are having trouble with the ice no question about it galsworthy goes down falls on the puck and that will do it as they let the
Clock wind down and time expires in the first period and it was a toret start it has we have heard from the Roso dressing room that they feel that the ice has slowed them down here’s a chance though right off the bat and a shot right on kicked out by
Scully they got off to a quick start in this game and Roso starting quickly in this second period it again now back inside the line dragged down is higginson he gets it back to the point here comes a shot and Butler seemed to be going the wrong way but managed to
Kick it out Hancock puts it out in front and back the other way will be Chris Heights with gutsman he’s got great speed gutsman in and a shot right on rebound Scully went down and the net knocked off its Waring and touser a little upset as he
Had a few words with one of the Roso players I believe Chris Heights well godsman was a little upset as well he went to the referee and said he got slashed as he was shooting but actually he had the opportunity to drive to the net he used that good speed of his to
Get outside and start breaking to the net he had to step on a the vestment and just elected to shoot rather than drive to the net you see coach Dean Blaze shouting instructions to his team from the face off Roso wins the draw shot right on Scully kicks it out Steve Huff
Clears it over on that left wing side that’s lar Ro he lost control of it and sent back into minaka territory we played a minute of this second period a 1-1 game the Skippers of minona and the Rams of Roso and icing is the call as L Ro took
His man heavily into the glass and we’ve got a penalty coming up that was Jason winoff who went down and he looked at the referee there’s your call with the score Roso one minona one this is hockey 90 live from the St Paul Civic Center and the Roso Rams 0 for two in
The state tournament but they operated at around 40% deficiency during the season very potent lineup as you might imagine with this cast of stars here’s Bill lond he can do it all himself lond goes behind the net takes a look gosman’s in front rolls the shot and Butler will or check that Paul
Scully will hold on L took that puck came across and got control of the Zone real good but then he took it all the way around the net almost out to the right defenseman before he made a pass you might as well move the puck quick it
Saves time on the clock and it keeps things spread apart by the time he got to the top of the circle he just let the shot go towards and that no one was there he got to move that puck quicker once he gets control of the Zone this
Time from the drop minutes tono wins it and gets it outside the line that’s Cory how across to Bill lond and lond clears it in after it is gsman he’s up front with Headland Headland number 20 behind the net Chris Heights on the far side Heights to Lun back to Heights and it
Goes to headin that was broken up and cleared by Kelly Melton good Anticipation by Melton he knew that puck was going over to godsman and he jumped in between that pass from Heights to godsman got it down the ice here comes the smooth skating playmaker Bill L
Across the line broken up and now it’s caught up in the equipment of David McDonald and Play Whistle down McDonald wanted to get that puug down he couldn’t he he really got the puck right soon as he got inside the blue line and he had plenty of time to get a shot away
If he could have got the puck down in the ice but it got caught up in his equipment and he carried it too far by the time he got it down the whistle had blown and comes outside B off just outside the blue line with 54 seconds to
Go and the penalty to L Ro tied at 1 1243 intercep it’s unusual minaka right now killing a penalty have three forwards and a defenseman you don’t usually see this well sometimes you got a player that can swing both ways he plays both forward and defense and
Because of his quickness they might use him back on defense and he gets very aggressive down deep they’ve got panov out there along with gos worthy higginson and the lone defenseman is Greg touser 30 seconds to go in the power play and so far Roso hasn’t been able to
Put much pressure on now they’re on the Move David McDonald behind the net leaves it for Gunderson hugan goes after it he takes his man off the puck Gunderson with it back to the point it goes Jamie buffin shot his block bufflin will get another chance and the shot
That time deflected off hugin’s shoulder wide of the net McDonald clears it around the boards Gunderson goes after it behind the goal and now lar Ro is back on the ice there full strength as hugan walked in Gunderson goes after it still pressure there’s the shot by McDonald going wide
To the mark Roso applying the pressure although the power play has ended Gunderson tries to center it again and it’s cleared away back to the point and buffin can’t keep it in winoff on the far side 1-1 the score he 1125 to go here in the second period and both teams making
Changes Ward brunstad and kenned out for minona as the puck is cleared down the ice and icing the call against the Skippers with the score Roso one minona one this is hockey 90 live from the Roso had there’s a shot that got through traffic a pad save by Scully and
Bronstad with the clearing pass here’s Ryan Kennedy again he’s been dangerous all night and Butler makes the stop Kennedy’s had three breakaways that time kind of coming off the wing he didn’t have as much to shoot at well Kennedy Ward and braunstein have really given Monona a lift tonight they’ve had a few
Opportunities they’re getting a puck up the ice they’re able to have more scoring opportunities thus far than the other two lines so going talk with a good balance here tonight and the team certainly playing with a great deal of confidence on the face off Pat Ward wins
The draw that shot is blocked and cleared out to Center by Jason Hansen lead pass and it’s brunstad inside the line with Ward BN on the shot and now the Rams up with it Dale lond inside the line lond tries to beat his man now the drop pass is
Broken up by bronz Dad and bronz Dad was knocked down and shaken up Bron dad is down at the Blue Line and play has been whistled down as Bron dad has has been hurt there’s a break in the action and we’ll be right back with the Minnesota State High School hockey [Applause]
Tournament from Dave Gunderson and Gunderson had to make certain he got him because bonstead was coming with the puck Gunderson caught flat footed had he been beaten Brad would have been home free everybody else for Rosa was up ice at the time the big lines out there right now
Heinson panov and mor for the minaka Skippers it’s Heights LS and gutsman cleared Back In The Zone by Steve hu up it comes to Heights a couple of goals in Roso victory over White Bear Lake number five Heights digging into the Zone Huff gets there first gotsman
Was following up cleared it behind the goal Huff goes down Heights now trying to center it Chris Heights Bill Lun goes in to help out but out with the puck comes minaka and it’s panov good offensive threat but panov has been solid defensively tonight as well well they even used him on the
Point uh killing a penalty there so you know they’ve got a great deal of confidence in his defensive ability besides being a leading score on the team here goes higginson Eric higginson puts it out in front as he was knocked down McHugh fighting for it comes out to Center for Bill lond
And he was hit here is MCH over the line a pass in front and the shot rolled wide of golender Butler and it’s pops up over the glass at out of play 921 to go in the second period and it’s still a 1-1 game good play by Jamie mchu over to lar
Ro Jam McHugh got quick beat and a good little move when he was able to get that puck over to ro and Ro just missed with that shot first line of Roso being bottled up since that opening shift by panov’s line minona playing very soundly throughout this [Applause]
Game and nataka is moving the Puck out of their Zone better than Roso is thus far Roso defenseman not nearly as sharp with that puck or getting it up ice as they were last night and that’s due to the four check of mitaka tonight on the DRS controlled by
Roso and out they break on this near side it’s hugan hugan working against Bren hoer and the puck cleared out to Center ice david McDonald back to get it falls on the play McDonald taken into the board hugan digging for it now Gunderson couple of whacks at it gets it into minaka
Territory Bren hoer the big defenseman taken to the boards by hugan Bren hoer trying to regain possession and does and Bren hoofer slides it outside the line cleared back in Kelly Melton to Bren hoofer lead pass broken up here comes McDonald centering pass out front and
Hugan didn’t get a good shot away nice setup but hugan couldn’t pull the trigger cleared back in again Gunderson is knocked down both gunderson’s on the ice right now Dale and Dana and minaka gets it to Center ice and a pass just failed to hit Pat Ward
Here come the Roso Rams Dale Gunderson into Dana in front and he SL it through the go t he Parks himself in front but there’s a Stolen Pass and it’s Bron dad back bronstad trying to put a move on and he was knocked down on a good
Defensive play by Cory how I’s made two of those tonight now off the boards up ahead to Dale lond side steps one check and here’s Dale lond oneon-one winds up scores after a good play by Cory H dun gets that puck he comes down ice and
Let’s fly with a blast from 35 ft that beat Scully just a rocket of a shot not too much you can blame Scully on that it was an excellent shot just as minaka scored in the first period Roso does here great shot by Dale Lun a blast right by the goal
Stick and Lun gives Rosa the lead headin will get an assist as well in that play edin and Hansen that’s Dale one’s first goal of the tournament and what a rocket right inside the Stick of the defenseman here you could see when he takes that shot
Right inside of Huff sck up high over scul D time of the goal 715 Dale l no relation to the star Bill lond on the Roso team but he’s made a name for himself seventh goal of the season and it’s a 2-1 Roso lead 7 from and the Roso Rams get control again gsman clears it in Billy lond on the ice along with Chris Heights there’s Billy L with it trying to set up gotsman he was all tied up Puck is loose and now minaka comes up with it it’s Hancock out to higginson he was
Checked and Jamie buffin has it pass goes behind Jason wisloff wisloff Takes a look he’s being B gets it ahead and now buckland’s on the Move checked by Mor and mor clears it down the ice icing the call 702 to go second period there’s a break in the
Action and we’ll be right back just scored to put Roso ahead two to one a rocket of a shot he lets fly just over the golender stick but minona just going to maintain their Poise keep playing the way they have been because they can get right
Back in this game they’ been very solid throughout boy quick break out there by just to McHugh and he just failed to get it into the Roso Zone but that was a quick transition out of the faceoff Circle and McHugh was in full flight he gets quick very
Very short distance and he’s got a good inside move Dean Blaze with John eron we just saw before that blaze in his first year of high school coaching coming down after being assistant coach in North Dakota for a number of years here’s Mike hugan now starting Roso out hugan inside the line David
McDonald turns and shoots rebound for hugan and Scully covers up Ros has had a number of opportunities Chris to get that puck back to the Blue Line when it’s all congested down low and they’re not using their points nearly as much see rather than just a
Blind shot sometimes and he just laid it back to the point man there was no one there for 30 ft the pointman could walk in take a shot take a look make a play and gives him some alter while he’s facing the play rather than trying to
Hope her pass or H her shot once again they break out quickly this time it’s l Ro and he’s knocked down and back in his own zone is Jason wilop watched by galsworthy lar Ro intercepts the pass to the line then lost control and on this near side Bren
Hoofer gets it ahead now it’s buffin for Roso Jamie buffin inside the line long shot and play is whistled down as Scully holds on with 6 13 to go here in the second period Well John Erikson looking at his team got to feel pretty good about him right now because he seen him
Come from behind so often this season he’s got a great deal of confidence in durability he’s close at the end of two I’m sure he’d say we’re capable of winning this game that’s where we want to be it’s not going to bother us at all thoseo he knows his favorite coming in
So if he keeps it close he’s got to have that uh ability to instill a confidence in his players which I sure they have right now that they can win this game fine effort by mitaka here just like Anoka did this afternoon against Grand Rapids from the face off the puck slides
Down into Roso territory no icing this time as how goes back to get it for Chris Heights Gunderson and how behind the net the four checking pays off for Mor who slides it right to the post and uh Mark went in and tried to JB at it but Butler
Had it covered on the short side side did you see Butler he was looking around wondering if it came out front it got wedged between the skate and the pipe and he thought he had it there but then when no whistle blew he took a look to
See if the puck had come free at [Applause] all now bufflin from the face off 550 to go here in the second period it’s a 2-1 game Roso leading bufflin the quarterback on his defense moving that puck out of the Zone with two kns Chris Heights on the Move Heights behind the
Goal centers it out in front back to the point it comes there’s a blast I think that hit the Stick of goenda for the top [Applause] Corner Billy Lun trying to for check panop lost control gotsman on the far side he is bodied gotsman throws a check
Of his own as minaka gets it down the ice icing the call but Scully may have made one of the saves of the tournament but uh it was tough to see cuz the shot was going so fast you know it’s really something when you got that size back in
The def gotsman last night was winning all the battles on the boards but tonight occasionally he gets a gets a man like Huff Huff is 61200 he knocks Scotsman off the puck there and that’s how minaka got control of it David McDonald on this face off against John bronstad Roso gets Control that’s Dale Gunderson trying to center it he’s bodied by Greg touser gets it back to the point Dana Gunderson with it the Gunderson Brothers both on the ice toucher to the line kept in Dale Gunderson just missed the pass now it’s Melton up the boards and minaka
Is able to get it out to Center Ice Puck is loose there and Dale Gunderson turns with it he’s the sophomore Puck at the line and play has been whistled down flashing penalty coming 447 to go and here’s the call for slashing there’s a break in the action we’ll be
Right back with the Minnesota State High School a slashing penalty for Roso Min tono with the opportunity to tie this game up no questioning about that call and the Skippers one for one in the tournament with the man Advantage Roso is killed off three of four 447 to go here second period
Skippers down by a goal and here they come Hobie Mor Clips it in and flipped it into his school band that puck stood up just before he went to shoot it and that puck standing up it just takes off sailed right over the glass face off will come outside
Minaka their first Power Play of the evening yeah even though we’ve had some heavy checking here tonight this is only the second penalty of the evening cleanly played game it has been from the face off Bill lond with a Chance here’s lond into the Zone he’s always dangerous shorthanded or with the
Advantage and Roso this time whips it into the Roso bench so you wonder sometime if one teammate doesn’t like another or if he doesn’t like the coach better keep their face masks on even at the bench yeah Cory how just let fly with that shot too much of it sailed
Right over his teammate’s head and passed coach Dean Blaze look at that 16 short-handed goals scored they have outscored the opposing power play play this year a man short Melton fell down but gets it across there’s the shot hit the side of the net some of the mitaka supporters were already
Cheering the puck is cleared by Roso down the ice and they’ll have to set it up again and it appears that Steve Huff has been shaken up and huff goes to the bench and actually fell into the bench Huff of minaka is has been hurt look at
Roso doing some good work there Lun tried to center it in front and back comes p with higginson higginson over the line couldn’t control the pass and Roso sends it down the ice with exactly one minute to go in the man Advantage 345 to go here in the second period minaka looking
For The Equalizer Ros are very aggressive when they’re killing penalties they use that speed up front and they chase the puck carrier they make him make a mistake Heights and headin now doing the job penalty killing and there’s headin with the steel and he sends it down
Touser will try his luck ahead to higginson cross ice pass and here they come Mor drops it or galsworthy dropped it to McHugh here’s a loose Pucket Ward was surprised he had it before he had a chance to do anything with it it was cleared good penalty killing by Roso 15
Seconds left in the power play here Comes McHugh left wing feed try to center it it comes back to the point here’s the shot right on Butler and he hangs on as Greg T’s low shot was right on goal good save by Butler touser shot was on goal and at the same time
Warden Kennedy were on the doorstep toer just turn and fire that puck right through a ma of players Butler making a good save with only two seconds to go on the power play for minona with Roso leading 2-1 249 to go in the second period and overall a very
Aggressive fruitful penalty kill for Roso put a great deal of pressure on in Tonka and that’s a first opportunity returns to the ice and up with it gsman fires it around the boards Chris Heights first one in takes a hit Billy londes there gets it back gotsman the shot not
Much on it but he did well to get the shot away and Scully covers up you see how high godsman sets up that line does it better than anything they set up high 25 to 5 ft that time he was at the top of the circle even though his check was
Coming out to him Ward was coming out to check him behind the slot and the puck was sliding right through Ward’s legs Gosman was still able to get the shot away cuz ward has his back to the puck David McDonald on this face off a look at Steve Huff there got her got
Shaken up a little bit he’s play a strong game on the defense we going to talk to here tonight Bren hoer in his own Zone cross ice pass slides out to Center how chops it back in in the zone and there’s Bren hoer with it up ahead
It goes to Hobie Mor inside the line heinson ran into a Roso defenseman and back come the Rams McDonald couldn’t get over the line Mor is there up for higginson too far and we’re under two minutes left in this second period Gunderson across ice now fired down in the zone John
Christ with it his brother Jeff played on the 85 team for minaka here’s pcov and his shot the flex off a stick and into the crowd Roso moving with more Authority in the last five minutes than he had since the second minute of this game it seems
To have gotten some life from that goal that they got to put him up ahead two to one up to that time inaka playing him very close tight to the vest actually putting on more pressure on them than Rosa was putting on their goalen but
That goal is given Rosa some life so got 141 to go here in the second period and they’re hanging on to a onego lead over minona we’re told that the training staff is working on the elbow of Steve Hof here’s a break down one Scully with
The Poke check and what an alert play by Scully as he robbed gotsman of a good scoring chance boy the goal tender gambled there rolled the dice and came out a winner godsman just got that puck too far ahead of himself he was using his feed got to
The outside and then here’s gsman again the heights right in on goal score well gotsman missed one opportunity but he sure set up Heights for a second one and you could see Heights going to make that move from this angle he saw the goenda off the left wing with speat
Gsman laid that puck out in front of him and all Heights had to do is pull it by and here’s the speed of gsman opening up an opportunity for Heights lays it out in front look at the goalie lean this way as he’s coming in and height just pulls it across
Puts it by him and Roso extending their lead to two leading 3-1 with 113 to go and assists on the play naturally on that one godsman will get an assist on that buffin will also get assist I believe Big Goal 1347 of this second period and
It gives Roso a two goal lead it’s Heights third of the tournament and it’s his fifth point he has a goal and an assist tonight godsman gets the assist got and it’s 31 Roso here right gotsman came close and then right back up the ice this line has
Great speed and Heights made no mistake they fired in again headin takes his man to the boards under a minute to go second period cleared outside the line chopped back in Rams check up on the play and now it’s buffin taking a chance beaten to it by brunstad brunstad looking to Center
Comes back to the point there’s a shot by Bren hoer Off the Mark wentoff around the boards and out to Center Ice haven’t seen Steve hopback they’ve been working on his left elbow at the minaka bench good defenseman now Heights taken down by Bren hoofer kept in at the line
By buffin into the Corner Heights is bodied there and knocked down back comes Ryan Kennedy the goal scorer with the big shot at Butler stuck out the glove and look what he found boy that kenedy’s had some Shots tonight that one was labeled at the last second just to cat quick
Glove Butler grabbing that puck just as it was about ready to go over the goal line pen he comes up ice and he lets fly with a rocket again 14 seconds to go here in the second period and it’s a two goal Roso lead right from the faceoff shot on three
And Butler again with a great save as he robbed homie Mor there’s a shot right on and Butler holds down the forward in the dying seconds of the second period Well the Skippers came close but they’re out of time and Jerome Butler earns his keep with a couple of
Great saves to preserve the twogo goal lead wow so true so true Chris there should not be a two goal lead right now look at these Saves by Butler he robbed Mor on the doorstep and then he had to do it again he got two other shots after
That boy did he looked sharp first he had to make the big save on Kennedy just to get the face off in that zone and then Mo coming with a Chance another one from the point after that well we talked about it last night you’ve got that great offensive Talent Bill lond and
Heights and gotsman and the rest of them but uh don’t forget the guy in goal because he’s outstanding well right now minaka has got to be feeling pretty low because they had had an opportunity there to get another goal and they certainly deserved one they’ve played so

Covered March is Minnesota food share month remember to make your donation Today the minaka Skippers down by two goals Ralph just sprinted out to the ice they were fired up I wonder what John Ericson the head coach had to say to them after that second period Well it be interesting to hear and we have what John Ericson had to say to his team just
Moments ago let’s listen you move j move the clock and you move why don’t you guys get angry at them get pissed at R they’re hacking us’re you guys aren’t doing anything about him go out there and beat him you guys have got to play Let’s go I I tried
Well I didn’t see who was with I know Shawn goldsworthy was there but nonetheless minaka needs two to tie and Roso they have to say to themselves look we can play this team even or better and we’re going to win we’re going to be in the finals so let’s go back upstairs
It’s hard to pick up the exact words he was saying but the emotion was certainly there guys remember White Bear Lake they scored two goals this afternoon to tight Grand Rapids and that’s what minaka needs here in the third period they’re down three to one as we get set for period number three
And here we go Ryan Kennedy who has been perhaps the most dangerous minaka Skipper is out on a line with Pat Ward and John bronz dad to start it off for the Skippers both teams at full strength and down the line comes Heights he has the
Third goal drops it for gotsman now Bill Lun turns and fires that shot was blocked rebound right on and Scully made the save blood behind the goal quick start here for Roso and now Huff has it Huff who was shaken up in the second period this is
His first ship since going off injured here’s Heights trying to jam it in close call and now minaka get it out to Center Ice hard hit there as bronstad was taken down and the Rams make the first change 45 seconds into the period ronad gets away from his man but falls
Down and now up with it is Kelly Melton cleared in by Pat Ward Al minaka makes their change that Top Line of Roso gives him a good start all the time and that sure helps her momentum okay you had minaka sprinting onto the ice but as soon as the puck was
Dropped Roso took it right in and they score a long shot seemed to fool Scully it might have been wislock the defenseman I think that shot it from the far left Point Scully reached for it with his glove and he just didn’t get low enough all the defens did was try
And put the puck on the net it’s never wrong to put the puck on the net and you’ll see the shot coming from far out watch Scully just going to reach for it right here as he does just goes under his glove inside the pipe it was Jamie bufflin with the
Shot and the assist will go to Todd hedin 116 the time of the goal might have been better to use the stick I don’t know how to play goal but it’s tough to field low shots like that with the glove and buffin celebrates his fourth of the season and the fourth of
The game for the Roso Rams whenever you can get some protection behind your glove you always want to back it up that’s a big goal now it’s Gunderson into the Zone puts it in front oh a heavy hit in front of the net as that puck was almost deflected
But McDonald really paid the price back comes lar Ro he knocks his man down mchu in the corner Center’s lar Ro and he’s cleared away from the goal crease as they are really hammering each other now Bill lback shoots off the crossbar Bill lond turns and shoots again off the mark
But Billy lond almost made it 51 close call there the Rams are flying early in this third period as they try to put minaka [Applause] away cleared down in Roso territory 1245 to go 4 to one in favor of the Roso [Applause] Rams at Center Ice Mor missed panov with
That pass icing waved off and Dana Gunderson comes right out in front of his own net knocked down but gets the pass ahead here come the Rams three on two gsman the pass couldn’t control it off his skate on the other side Heights couldn’t check Handcock up ahead it goes and outside the
Line Gsman check that Dale one pinned against the boards by Chris around the boards for bronstad and now into the Center Ice Zone headin lead pass Hansen can’t take it but headlin follows up there’s Dale Lon popping into the corner to get possession lond takes a look spins away
From one check behind the goal for Headland and play is whistled down 1141 left there’s a break in the action and we’ll be right back with the Minnesota State High School hockey Tournament find out how far your money can go at TCF Bank and earn low oneway airs on Midway Airlines contact TCF for details [Applause] referee talking over to John Ericson they think there might be a bench minor coming to Minar now this is not a good time for
The Skippers to be a man short coming over to serve the penalty is brunat and Roso will go again on the power play apparently the coach has given a ref I and referee gave a bench Miner so Roso leading 4-1 gets the opportunity to extend that lead 11401 to go into third
Period from the face off it’s cleared down the ice by the Skippers Roso 0 for three with the man Advantage but with all that Firepower hard to imagine that they can be held off the scoreboard for too long much longer here’s L with the backand right
On McHugh trying to clear it and he can’t get it out inside the zone and a hand pass is called and you can hear the fans they’re not crazy about the call but the face off comes outside the line of the 11 leading scorers in the state Chris Billy
Lond is the only one here in the state tournament yet there’s four of the top 10 goenda state are here only one remains in position for the title that’s and he has looked very much like the number one goenda tonight Gunderson from the faceof on the near side it’s cleared in
And around the boards buny Hop Off The Glass there minaka clears it now over the glass and out of play so often you see clearing shots coming off that glass you think they’re going to go out out of the Zone they catch between where the pipe is and
A glass and it just takes a weird hop they come out front sometimes I’ve even seen him go right in the neck you never know where it’s going to go you’ve got to be certain to be alert because you never know where that Tuck’s going to come
Down John Erikson at the minaka bench continues to let the referee know that he’s not happy with the way things are going on the ice and he better be careful it might cost him another two minutes here’s gsman setting up this power play in the slot to Heights his shot goes wide of
The goal lond calling for it at the point gets it now into the corner for gotsman gotsman the Heights and minaka breaks it up but lond keeps it in the zone now the Skippers get another chance can’t get it past lond good job there but they call it again either another
Hand pass or maybe it did come outside the line boy I I think he was calling a hand pass and I don’t think it was a hand pass he actually caught it in his chest he was standing just inside the blue line and the putt came up it looked
Like he was putting his hands there but down off his chest and Rosa should have maintained control in the zone there referee just lost sight of where that puck h a player hund and Dale L now up front with Hansen this is Hedland breaking into the
Zone tied up couldn’t get a shot away dun shot was broken up by Sha goldsworthy now here’s wlof across the ice there’s a shot by buffin right on buffin the goal scorer in this third period with another shot on goal buffin now clears it into the [Applause]
Corner Roso setting up with 23 seconds left in the man Advantage back to wilock being watched he just dumps it again into the corner it’s cleared by Bren Hopper higginson couldn’t get it out of the zone now winding up and getting it to the point with Greg toer kept in by wiof
The shot deflecting wide close call there now minaka returns to full s strength as bronstad is back on the ice back to the point wlob shot to the leg and went to the the corner Headland after it he was dumped on the play play continues in a shot off the glove of
Scully finally minona chock it over the glass and out of play and with the score rose4 minona one this is hockey 90 live from the St Paul Civic Center you see the sign you can read running a different speed beats and time another kiss and you be one mind you’re adct
Addict Rosal with a quick goal in this third period and also a power play opportunity to kill 2 minutes off the clock leading to 1920 to go in the third right now minaka needs a goal and they’ve got their big guns out handcuf HBY Mark and Eric higginson here’s a
Chance Roso gets control of it straight down the ice comes McDonald McDonald inside the Zone a big hit there as Kelly Melton was bodied Melton goes back in the corner after the puck takes his man to the boards hugan fighting for it there and it’s hugan going after it he’s
Taken off the the P starting to really slug out there David McDonald is there he takes a hit hugan back in there and handcuff now oh he ducked under a check but still got hammered and there’s bodies flying all over the place and behind the play a minutka player dumped
His man and I believe Hobie Mor is going off let’s await the call with the score Roso four Min Taco one this is hockey 90 live from the St Paul Civic [Applause] [Applause] Center find out how far your money can go at TCF just open or add to any qualifying account and you’re eligible for low one-way air fars on Midway Airlines how low just $69 to New York Dallas Fort Worth or Atlanta contact any TCF office or the connection
For details and see how far your money can go it may be tough but the coach gets a bench Miner and gets somewhat frustrated and the players get frustrated and now you see Mor taking an interference call more checking this period than the first two periods combined a lot of body
Checking going on now manga’s got to get back maintain their discipline coach Ericson said that’s been the most important thing that they’ve done this season is maintain their discipline that’s what got them through the sectional finals in this first game so they’re going to have to return to that
Quickly here if they’re going to get back in this game time certainly a factor down to 8 minutes and 10 seconds to go and they’re a man shorten down by three here’s a pass back to buffin buffin shot Scores Jamie buffin second goal of the period and it’s 51 Roso Jamie buffin a very talented offensive defenseman for Roso he’s been the best pop caming defenseman for them throughout this tournament he got the first goal of this period with a a shot just putting on the
Net a lucky shot this one was a good high shot a fine play out of the corner from uh Heights he set it up he used the point he put that shot in up high and Roso with a commanding 5 to one lead 802 to go here in the third period Roso
Rapidly approaching their 6.9 goals for average they only give up one and a half a game so they they’re in complete control the kind of games they play yes it’s apparently pronounced buffin he got his second goal of the period and the tournament and Chris Heights gets the
Assist and for Heights it’s his second consecutive three-point game and now minaka calls a timeout and they will change their goal tenders and onto the ice come Jeff Kalz he’s a 5′ 1165 lb junor with a record of 42 and one with one shut out high school rules to get the opportunity to warm him up which is real good main thing about this is maybe minona take a little break here and get their composure
Back two goals by Roso here in the third period and they’ve opened up a 5-1 lead there’s a break in the action we’ll be right back with the Minnesota State High School hockey tournament we’re inside a full-size conversion van from GMC truck it’s so nice you don’t
Even have to go any place to have a good time except your vikingland GMC truck dealer Chris I think the key to this game undoubtedly was the last 30 seconds of the second period Rosal leading 3-1 minona actually played very well to that point had three opportunities to make it
A one-goal Game Jerome Butler saved every one of them so going in the locker room Roso Boy by coming out with a two goal lead minona feels frustrated by giving up those two goals and not able to close the gap come out in the third period Rosa with a quick
Start gets up the four frustration sets in composure gets lost Prett soon it’s 51 looking more and more like Dean Blaze and the Roso Rams are on their way to an all North final for the first time since 1972 inic Center this even 16,8 to 6, Glen Ellingson and the Grand Rapids team I’m sure are watching tonight our congratulations to them for their semifinal win earlier today it was a hard fought and well earned [Applause] Victory now buffin in a defensive roll and Butler will hang on for a face off one thing Butler can do
Now anytime it looks like minaka has got a threat he can slow the play down he can afford now to take face offs he wants to make certain minaka doesn’t get any momentum going so if it looks like they’re putting on pressure if it looks like his players are tired if it looks
Like they’re having a problem getting the puck out of the Zone he’s got the capability if that puck comes around a net to just fall on it freeze it and slow things down once he get it out of the Zone roses want to maintain your aggressive for checking ability keep the
Pressure on in the Tonka Here Comes David McDonald for Roso sliding at just wide of the goal McDonald going after it and gets to the puck first David McDonald still with it watch by Pat Ward and the puck slides in on kinan here’s a puck handed to fory how
And he rolls it in on goal theak of bottled up in their own Zone and there was a shot just swiped wide of the mark close call there now it’s Kennedy up ahead to Ward and Ward flips it in on Butler Butler hands it off to Gunderson and
How Cory how up to Dale Gunderson that failed to click now here’s perhaps a three-on-one here’s a break for Bill London shoots what a save by kadan he robbed one of the highest scorers in the state I think it hit k in the face mask
He was going down made the save he had him covered but that puck got up so high so quick I think he caught it right in the face mat here’s Pat Ward the other way he’s knocked down and Bill lond takes over lond looking for his first goal in the state tournament Chris
Heights has been the big scorer with two consecutive three-point games Heights had two goals and one assist yesterday and a goal and two assists Today now back come the Rams inside the line and retrieving the puck is Justin McHugh around the boards but it will be kept in more good body contact as L Ro breaks out lar Ro is checked in the zone gets it to goals worthy the shot off the
Target on the far side Dale L just gets rid of it down the ice icings the call and well Kalan is part of this game now what a big save off Bill L let’s see take a look and see if it does catch him to face back it caught him up high watch
As he’s falling down a good move by L back to his forehand he gets that shot away oh he got it with a stick what a great save what a way to come into a game and start off the play we’ve seen a couple of great stick saves today Chad
Hon made the save of the tournament in that Grand Rapids game earlier today here’s uh a chance as Kalan had to duck on that high shot by Headland and the puck comes out to Center ice again Cory how with five and a half minutes to go Puck cleared in wide of Goenda they have been [Applause] dominant hop went off in the second period with a elbow problem good to see him back on the as he hops over the line takes a hit following up is higginson now we’ve got a penalty coming up cinan has gone to the bench for an
Extra attacker and we have a penalty and now the tempers flare oh a shot after the whistle Roso was going to take a penalty but minaka took an extra shot after the whistle went so it’ll be interesting to see how many penalties are assessed I think Ros is going to get two
And nka one the way it looks unless he changes his mind 17 white 11 Green each of minor for roughing there’s a break in the action we’ll be right back with the Minnesota State High School hockey Tournament it’s here $5 million worth of cars trucks RVs Auto Show 0 revs up at the new Downtown Minneapolis Convention Center make tracks well we’re going to have a couple penalties to Green here comes the second one lond is going to get one a slashing penalty and a roughing penal to Cory how
Of Rosel and pankov will also get a roughing from minona so Min Tonka will be going on the power play here trailing 5 to1 457 to go in the third period I was just thinking about that stick save by Kenan and I think it was Adam Flint that made that stick save this
Afternoon get the right these games run together so much all I know is there’s been a couple of Dandy saves with the stick in Kadin it was Houston it was Houston okay want to make sure I get that right cuz it was the save of the tournament use your
Head might have been the difference in that hockey game too so minaka will go on the power play and they need a goal down 5-1 with just under five minutes to go here’s a shot from well out Steve Huff drifted it wide and it’s cleared down the ice it’s
Amazing Chris how many kids shoot the puck so much better nowadays a number of these fellas have got rockets for shots we’ve seen goners beat from 4550 ft without screen and not because he were slow reacting shots were so quick just take a look at the Kennedy shot in
The first period to beat Butler Butler’s glove wasn’t going up until a puck was on its way out of the net and both Wings on the Roso team gotsman and hedin on the right side real heavy shots they missed the net that pu comes all the way out of the Zone we
Talked about Ryan Kennedy and here’s a 5′ 955 pounder who can let them fly now it’s gosw worthy and McHugh inside the line four on three hockey the Skippers need to make something happen quick here give them a spark BSW worthy digs it free comes back to the point there’s Melton with the
Shot just off the mark and on the other side some skating room for Bill l l puts on the brakes and falls down on the play and it’s Huff starting back upu to the line not much speed there and he was checked four minutes to go bleed pass for
Mchu there’s an interception and here comes a chance shot right on Kalan off the Stick of Gunnerson Melton up to McHugh and another pass intercepted by Gunnerson and he clears it down the ice as you were seeing earlier Roso got A plus seven stealing and oh he almost
Tucked it in gad’s Lost His St that was almost more plus it looks like that was going to be their 17 short ended goal boy they’re aggressive back cleared outside the line and tough to know who’s got the man Advantage I think godsman loves killing penalties he he looks even more
Dangerous when he’s got all his skating room he is a terrific skater and what that size he’s got the shot he’s got and the whistle I thought I heard a whistle the play continues and here they come here come the Skippers a chance right in and Butler makes the save and now all
Three penalized players return to the ice both teams at full strength there’s a shot by Mor Butler another save as he robbed higginson on the rebound Jerome Butler not called upon that often but boy he has made some great stops that he has he had to make a good save for Mor
But more than that higginson was quick on that puck here the goalie loses his stick and you see gotsman going around the net he tries to come right back in to tuck it in the short side you see touser and the golender coming across but it hit T’s
Leg but here’s Mor taking a shot and watch higginson go to Butler after the rebounds there and try and pounce on it but Butler quick again just falling right down see how quick he gets up on his feet after he’s down a puck almost slid Underneath Him here’s a chance
Butler out to challenge and again he makes a stop and pan just looks up into the air Jerome Butler he’s saying don’t forget me guys boy pankov has no one to blame but himself he made a great move he held it long enough he just didn’t
Put it where he wasn’t look at this he comes around holds it long enough gets him going all the way across and down and puts it into his glove he couldn’t get it up high enough they’re going to have a penalty on the play here to wsof vakka going to get another
Opportunity actually their double penalty higginson also off going too so coincidental miners with 238 to go and a 5-1 lead and Jerome Butler continues to make his mark on the tournament the junior [Applause] goenda Cory how loses it behind the goal hso in front that’s panov with it again he
Turns away from one check pan feeds the point another penalty coming up there’s a shot and Butler without his stick kick that one out play continues delayed penalty coming up here’s a chance in front Handcock whipped It Wide good hustle here by Min talk and finally Roso touches it and the penalty
Will be assessed and that time Butler made a big stop without his goal stick well Rose has got a half of these two nights of getting late penalties going to have a holding penalty here last night the same thing happened and they’re getting it again tonight they had a string of penalties last
Night Dana Gunderson going for holding last night Rosa with three penalties actually cost Butler shut [Applause] out all this coming out with 210 left in the game 5-1 is the score in favor of the Rams the one thing this does do is give Butler an opportunity to get more
Work r with a big lead maybe thinking this not such a bad idea we keep them sharp we’re going to the championship game and we want to make certain he’s he’s had some work he is sharp no doubt about about that bill L back on the ice on this four
On three situation right in front they score well it had to come and Steve Huff the defenseman puts it away for minaka and they get a power play goal well a little pass across from morg and Steve Huff all alone nothing Butler can do there minona capitalizing on this power
Play with a four on three pankov and mor both going to get assists but you’ll see just a slide across pass right there from Mor and look at how much net Huffs he and he just puts it away in the short side just inside the pipe cutting the lead to
Three 2011 to go in the third minaka down 5 to2 to [Applause] Roso watch this little nice pass for Mor right across he just pushing laid it right out there getting checked and huff puts it [Applause] away so the two teams will now play even Strength four skaters [Applause] aside a three-goal lead with two minutes to go gotsman goes after it here’s gsman with the puck and he’s hauled down Bill Lun behind the net London gotsman up front for the Rams and Bill Lun goes for escape oh he hit Huff with the pack Huff’s playing up
Front even though he’s the defenseman or is he now now he drops back I wasn’t sure after scoring the goal and then four checking but he has dropped back took a run it how that time and just missed him Bill lond on the far side and the
Net has been knocked a jar and play is whistled down with 128 left Billy L had control of that Puck and the minaka Zone he comes out and as he’s being chased rather than just dumping a deep he took it all the way out now you get the puck
Down in Roso Zone you never want to give up a Zone when you got it only time you do that if you’re regrouping from the neutral zone back just inside your blue line covering with speed other than that when you get the offensive zone don’t give it up unless
You have to especially when you’re three goals up and you’re leading with only a minute and 28 to go keep the puck ahead of you from the face off ward after it back hands it in on golender Butler how clears it to the corner there’s buffin who’s been the scoring hero in this
Third period with a pair of goals a shot from well out Butler with the Stop and Roso gets control with 110 to go in the game Jamie buffin lead pass too far Greg touser back in the shot that seemed to give Butler trouble just off

Rams and this one’s over the Rams join Grand Rapids in an all North final for the first time since 1972 well after the first days of action it looked like Roso deserved to be here and for first two periods vonka gave him a real good game then that late goal in
The second period putting Roso Up 3 to one and minetonka getting thwarted three times in a row in the last half minute really gave Roso a big lift frustrated minaka somewhat minaka came out with a quick start got up four and got a power play goal to put this game away Rosa
With a fine effort again minetonka played a strong two periods third period they let their game get away from him but a deserving winner Roso going to be playing Grand Rapids tomorrow in the championship game well I don’t think there’s any question that the Roso Rams
