Donuts spare nothing on Spurs, Day 145

It was a battle of two giants, in this year of CCHL. Both leading their conferences but Hawaii breathing hrd down Denvers neck. For once Donuts was not the better team in statistics out shot, out hit and out played in the offensive zone but better on the score sheet. When the team went from 3-1 to 5-1 in the second period it was over. Never would donuts loose by 4 goals in the last period and they didn't it held to 6-3.

Donuts poision Killers, Day 120

So it was time for another show off in the Scandinavian division. Donuts used to have some trouble with Killers but late have been able to crack them open.

In a game ehere Donuts out shoot their opponent 46-14 and out passed 134-79 it wasn't really a tough fight this time. Donuts kept the puck in the offensive zone for 12:55 min compared to 7:06. On PP Donut where 2 out of 5 while Killers where 0 out of 3.

Donuts let Niagara Fall, Day 111

In the middle of a 3 day/3 game series the stop this time was in Niagara. The players wondered a bit where they where when they landed on the airport.

For the second straight game the Donuts where off at the buzzer! There have been quite a few games the they haven't been able to score first. But last game they scored 2 in the first 3 minutes. This time it was 2 in 6 minutes, with Jagr (31) and Sharp (10). Jagr again pulling ahead in the scoring race against Straka with a score after 6 seconds! Zubov (10) added a power play goal around mid period got a short handed on a mistake to make it 3-1 after the first. 21-6 in shotting first period and Biron looked a little rusty.

Straka (31) pulled even with a goal to 4-1. Mid period Thunder responded with 2 gaols to come close at 4-3. Then Donuts added another 2, by Jovanovski (11) and Langkow (24) to make it 6-3 with 2 min to go. The game should be over but Sturm scored before the end to make it 6-4. Donuts continued shooting 22-8 in this period but 3-3 in scoring. Biron let in 4 goals on 14 shots and must have been awfully close to being pulled.

Third period showed another 3 goals Umberger sandwiched between Niedermayer (15) and Straka (32). Straka again taking the lead in the Donut king race. Game ends 8-5 to Donuts.

Donuts out shot the opponent 64-21 almost 3-1, and had possession a massive 15:17 in offensive zone. In passing Donuts had the "edge" with 157-59 with a completion of 89%. This game should in reality never have been so close. Niagara should thank Biron for keeping them in the game! Lehtinen left the game late in the period with a sprained knee. 3 out of 8 goals came from defensemen.

First star: Jagr, 1G 3A, 5 SOGs and 11-0 in passing.
Second star: Gomez, 3A, 13-2 in FO and 9-0 in passing.
Third star: Niedermayer, 1G, 7 SOGs (second after Rolstons 11!) and massive 19-0 in passing.

Tomorrow game in Stockholm, Lehtinen out and maybe Doan back. then back on the plane to Hawaii for a days rest before a new away game on island fellow Hawaii.

Donuts surrounds Ferrets, Day 110

Donuts made it 2-0 in the first 3 minutes and actually the game ended there. It was Rolston (22) and Jagr (30) scoring. In the internal hot fight for the scoring champ title Jagr and Straka again are tied. Ferrets responded with a comeback in the third period making it 2-1 but the game ended like that.

Dounts out shoot Ferrets 55-22, had possession in offensive zone 15:06 and out passed 178-105 with 87% completed. Donuts where 1-6 at power play while Ferrets where 0-3.

First star: Jagr, 1G, 7 SOGs, GWG and 17-3 in passing.
Second star: Gomez, 1A, 5 SOGs, 16-8 in FO and massive 24-0 in passing.
Third star: Nabokov, 22 Shots against and 1 in the net. An good performance, more please.

Next game against Niagara tomorrow Doan is starting to skate but is questionable for tomorrow.

Donut of the month (Feb): Jagr

Time again to figure out which player wins 50 kilos of Donuts as a reward from our sponsor.

It is determined from the Stars in the game where the first get 3 points down to one point on the third star. As a tie breaker most 3´s win and so on.

15 games during the month:
Jagr: 2+3+2+3+3+2+3= 18
Boucher: 1+2+2+3+2= 10
Rolston; 3+3+3= 9
Stumpel: 3+2+1+3= 9
Straka: 2+3+3= 8
Niedermayer: 1+3+2+2= 8
Gomez: 2+1+3+1= 7
Nabokov: 1+1+2+1= 5
Lehtinen: 3
Doan: 2+1= 3
Jovanovski: 2+1= 3
Langkow: 1+1+1= 3
Bochenski: 2
Foster: 1
Zubov: 1

Most times awarded a star was Jagr with 7 times and Boucher 5. Rolston had star 3 times all was first stars! Straka has scored 10 goals during the month. 15 different players got stars. But most importantly 18 stars during the month, to Mr Jagr!

Congrats Jaromir, your prize can be collected in the shop in the stands!

Crusaders cruise over Donuts, Day 105

This game is not always so predictable. what are the odds that Donuts, Spurs, Ronin and Killers all loose on the same day? I bet Hawaii are happy they had the day off.

Back to old habits, Donuts let the other team score first. This time twice in the first period. Doesn't matter if you out shoot the other team 19-11 if you don't score, right?!

Second period, 6 minor penalties and 19-5 in shooting on goal. That is a shot per minute, of course no goals.

Third period, Jagr (29) desperately tries to reach Straka in the race. Game ends 2-1 to Copenhagen, out shoot 53-19. The only stat that Copenhagen won as hits.

No one should get a star in this game but ok:
First star: Jagr, 1G, 9 SOGs, 16-1 in passing.
Second star: Niedermayer, 1A and 19-0 in passing in 28 min.
Third star: Langkow, 21 min, 5 SOGs, 2-0 in corners and 11-0 in passing.


Now a rest for three days before a flight back to Long Island. Then two days rest before we have 3 games in 3 days, Long Island (h), Niagara (a) and the Stockholm (a). Thanks a lot to have That kind of travel schedule. Doan got a sports hernia and will maybe be ready in the three day matching.

Musicians beat Donut

It was a battle of two giants and one of the seasons trading partners, Donuts-Musicmen for a sell out crowd in the bag. It was though to be a low scoring battle, but the teams wanted differently. Statistically a close game with a little edge to Donut but a win in OT for the Musicians. It was a clean fight with only 10 penalty minute sin total.

As usual the opponents drew first blood, Holik in his first of the year. The answer came from Rolston (15) and Jagr (28), the later again taking the lead in the internal scoring race. No penalties in first and ended 2-1 to Donuts.

Second period, Jagr showed of ice twice then came Langkow (20) for 3-1. Filppula the former Donut drew close by 3-2. But Straka (28) not wanting to let Jagr glide away retaliated just 6 seconds after Filppulas goal. Lehtinen (18) scored toward s the end of period to make it 5-2 and the game should be over. But some dazzling moves by Gaborik scored just before the buzzer to make it 5-3.

Dayton pulled to tied by scores from McLaren and Gaboriks second of the night. Stumpel (16) stole the puck from Meszaros (former Donut) at his own blue line for a break away and scored with just minutes left for 6-5, that should have been the game winner! But Sundin scored a goal from in close just a minute later to push the game to overtime.

Once in overtime Datsyuk scored on the first shot of the OT after 30 seconds. Game ends 7-6 to Dayton, Not the goalies big nights..... For Donuts & different scorers to show the talent on the team. Sharp and Doan had to leave for the drssing room during the game for light injuries, they are both questionable before further assessments.

First star: Stumpel, 1G 1A, +0 for the night and 9-0 passing.
Second star: Jagr, 1G 1A, +0 for the night and 10-2 in passing.
Third star: Zubov, 1A, +0 for the night and 15-0 in passing.

Former Musicmen out scored former Donuts by 2+3 to 1+2.

Next game against Calgary, still on the island.

Donuts blanks Moose, 6:th in a row

The Moose didn't take the plane to the island of Gotland they swam and maybe that was why they where tired before the game. It was a fast kill and the Donuts 6:th win in a row.

Donuts scored 3 times in first period to take a 3-0 lead after scoring from Jovanovski (7+8) sandwiched around Straka (27) goal. Both Jova's goal was on the power play (2 out of 9, for the night) and was the third straight game that Jovocop scored , 4 goals in 3 games. Straka once again took the lead in scoring on the team for a short while. The team out shoot Moose with 19-6 in the first period.

Second period, no scoring no penalties just skating and positioning. When Stockholm tied to push in the third Jagr (27) and Gomez (13) stopped the Moose in his tracks. Game ends 5-0! Jagr and Straka are neck and neck on the internal scoring race. Jagr had part in all goals for the night, 5 points! The Moosehead is mounted in the wall in the locker room.

First star: Jagr, 1G 4A for 5 points, team leading 8 shoots, tied for team leading +3 on the night, 2-0 in corners and 16-1 in passing.
Second star: Nabokov, a SO but only faced 16 shoots. Donuts shot 19 themselves in just first period.
Third star: Jovanovski, 2G, GWG, and 2 PPG, ".nd on team with 6 SOG, 2 hits and good corner work and passing.

Jagr´s second straight first star and third in a row receiving a star. Same players received stars in this game as in last game, Jagr, Nabo and Jova!

The team stays on the island with light training. In two days Dayton Musicmen comes to visit. From the trade early in the season between the teams many of the players has something to prove. No injuries reported on either team. Donut would be glad to show the Musicmen a new tune and end their winning streak! Go for lucky 7!

Former champs Ibex beaten, 5:th in a row

It was a celebrity visit at the bag, North Dakota Ibex visiting. Ibex put up a god fight but Donuts where just to strong to get the game really going. all stats went Donuts way.

As often in the past Donuts let the opponent open the scoring in this case Bieksa in the first period. Niedermayer (10) and Jovanovski (6) the later on power play made defensive goals this evening. Both where set up by Jagr who's form is picking up again. Jovanovski second straight game with a goal.

No scoring in the second but in early third Donuts killed the game by two early goals, Rolston (14) and Jagr (26). Jagr is now tied with Straka again for team top honors.

First star: Jagr, 1G 2A, 5 SOGs, +2 on the night and14-4 passing.
Second star: Jovanovski, 1G 1A, team leading 6 SOGs, 2-0 in the corners and 11-1 passing. +2 for the night.
Third star: Nabokov, 23 shots against 1 goal in. A close game for two periods, 15 shots in that time.

Tomorrow we have a visit from Stockholm a 35 min plane ride for them. The team is healthy and on a 5 game winning streak. From what we heard Stockholm is healthy as well, at least when the game starts.

Donuts thunders past Thunder Bay

The Donuts closed the game late in first with two goals to seal the victory.

Stumpel (15) scored early on the power play. Thunder Bat replied mid first (assisted by Edler and Pavelski, both former nuts). Jovanovski (5) and Jagr (25), the late another power play goal secured the win. Doan (20) scored ni the second period to make it 4-1. Gomez (12) scored in empty net to make it 5-2 for the Donuts.

The Donuts won just about all stats categories. Shooting about 20 shoots a period to keep Nittymaki busy. Also out passes the Thunder by whooping 164-81 with 87% completion rate. Donuts lost FO and hits categories. 10 players on Donuts have double digits in completed passes.

First star: Gomez, 1G 2A, 10 SOGs, team leading +2, 15-9 in FO and 11-1 in passing.
Second star: Jagr, 1G 2A, 5 SOGs, the GWG and 12-0 in passing.
Third star: Stumpel, 1G 1A and 14-0 in passing.

Next game against North Dakota at home, no injuries on the team.

Dounuts take Quebec

The Remparts are still Blushing from the undressing the Donuts did of them. Donuts out shoot Quebec 70-17 ans out passes 151-87 and the game was about the same. Nothing much actually happened i the first period. Two goals in the second period killed the game, the goals came from Doan (18) and Jagr (24) both on power play. In the third Doan (19) continued in power play until Brunette finally broke Nabokovs zero. Straka (25) scored the donuts 4:th consecutive power play goal. Phillipe Boucher (11) finished off the game with 5-1 score.

Positive that the ´nuts scored on 4 out of 10 power play opportunities. Negative that Zubov is out for some games stopping a shot with his skate. It wont be too long though before he is back.

First star: Rolston with massive 14 SOG, 1A and 12-1 in passing.
Second star: Doan, 2G, 8 SOG and team high 3 hits.
Third star: Gomez, 3A, 6 SOG, 21-7 in FO and 15-4 in passing.

Ronin runs over Donuts

Lidstrom was not the problem the rest of Victoria Ronin was. This was however on away ice but it raises some questions. Let's see what happened.

Lots of penalties in the first period 3 to each team. Clowe started the scoring with the lone goal of the first period. The hot tempers subsided on both teams and the penalties became fewer and Doan (17) scored the equalizer at 14:16. About ½ minute later Staal scored his first of the two goals he scored in the period. This left a 3-1 lead to Ronin going into 3:rd. Havlat made it 4-1 on PP before Jagr (23) tried to catch up. In the end Bouwmeester capitalized on an empty net. Ending the game at 5-2 to Ronin.

There where four injuries in the game, to Donuts White and Lehtinen and for Ronin Foote and Hannan. Lehtinen, Foote and Hannan are class A players so a slight edge should go to Donuts, on the other hand Hannan occurs late in the game.

It sound a bit more convincing then the game logg tells me. First of all the empty net is a give away and should not count on this. Donuts had too many penalties in this game and Ronin cashed in once but at an important time to keep Donuts from within one goal difference. Ronin has a slight edge in SOG, hits and FO:s and Donuts a slight edge at passing.

Lessons to learn: Against a good team like Ronin on away ice you can't afford to give away the first goal or the lead after 2 periods. They are 20-2 after a lead in 2:nd period, Donuts themselves are 24-1. We can also not give up penalties to a team that capitalize, this is however usually not a problem. So on away ice preferably get a lead, hold on to it and don't sit and watch the game in the penalty box. Probably a series with Ronin would go to 7 games as the home ice advantage would be the difference.

First star: Jagr, 1G, 9 SOG:s team leader, +0 for the game, 2 hits and team higfh on completed passes with 16-2.
Second star: Gomez, no scoring, 4 SOG 2:nd on team, +1 for the game, 13-3 in passing and more wins than losses in FO.
Third star: Niedermayer, 1A, 27 min, +0 in the game and 15-1 in passing ratio.

Tomorrow we have visit from Quebec Remparts (if they haven't changed name again) and against Copenhagen the following day. After that a bit rest and then Springfield at home and then Thunder Bay away. Lethinen will be out for the next 2 home games but is probable for the Springfield game while White will probably miss 3 games but join the road trip to Thunder Bay.

Straka has been bitching the coach for not letting him play on first line even though he is Donuts biggest point producer, top scorer. When Rolston was out with a sore elbow he took his chance. He scored three consecutive Donut goals in three different periods, including the game winner. It will be interesting to see how the coach handles this as Rolston is scheduled next game.

For once the Donuts came out flying(!?) in the start of the game. First period won Donuts with a score 3-1 and out shooting Southwest 17-9. On his first shift Stumpel (12) scored assisted by Doan and Lehtinen. A few minutes later Sedin brother combined for Daniels 25:th goal. Later Langkow (19) scored assisted by Stumpel and Boucher combining on a breakaway while shorthanded. Then started the Straka show with his first of the night, his 22:nd.

The second period was even in scoring and shooting, 1-1 in goals and 12-11 SOG. Ouellet made it 3-2 with his 15:th. With Stumpel in the penalty box Straka was thrown in on the 2:ns PK unit and there he scored his second of the night and 23:rd in total. The second SHG in the game for Donuts!

The period was 4-2 going in and was even in scoring and Donuts protecting the lead letting the Scorpions out shoot them 7-15. McLean put scorpions close until Straka (24) got the hattrick.
The game closed out with Gill getting it close while Zajac (1) got the chance to play a bit more than usual due to the Rolston injury.

First star: Straka, 3G and the GWG, 1 SHG, tied for team lead in shots with 5 SOG.
Second star: Jagr 4A, has played a lot with Straka on the Broadway line earlier assisted him on all 3 goals and Zajac.
Third star: Boucher, 1A played 26 min and was +2 for the game, a BS, a hit and 14-2 in passing.

Next game in 3 days against and in Victoria with newly acquired Lidstrom, should be a defensive battle. Rolston is scheduled to return and we will have to see if the Broadway line is kept as the top line, including Straka. Straka is now the legit top scorer surpassing Jagrs 22 goals while having 24 himself.

Niagara Falls in the hands of Jagr

It was supposed to be an easy game and they are sometimes the hardest.

After 2 periods the score was 0-0 and Wisborg had an shot advantage of 24-11 which is a sign of the lack of ignition spark. Coach Donut ordered better offense for the last period or a shake up was in order, this show for a few minutes in the third period where Gomez scored the 1-0 goal after 5 minutes. After that Jagr got a penalty for a late and high slashing on Boogard (who went without penalties during the game) and then the offense had no focus. What usually happens in that situation is that the other team gets a chance and with a second left of the game Umberger scored his 5:th of the season. It was a 1-1 game after 3 periods with a 17-9 shot advantage in the third period.

The overtime started with the Broadway line Gomez-Straka-Jagr where Gomez created a face off in the offensive zone and won the face off with a pass to Straka who got a good shoot high off Khabibulin shoulder where Jagr had placed himself to just tap the puck in the net. Game ends after 28 seconds, 2-1 to Wisborg and they out shot the Falls with 43-20 in a very unfocused game.

As predicted two days ago Jagr was the to go man, he scored his 22 :nd goal of the year and 7 shots. Phillipe Boucher was back and came out flying on the otherwise soft Donuts. He had 8 shots on goal, 2 blocked shots and 5 hits, all team highs. The Broadway line outscored the Donut line with 2-0.

Four players got minor injuries and left the game Ohlund, Niedermayer, Langkow and Zajac. None more injured than they are expected to play tomorrow in Stockholm, only a 35 min flight away!

First star: Jagr
Second star: P. Boucher
Third star: Nabokov for keeping the ´nuts in the game.
