Ibex beat Donuts, Day 130

It was indeed a hard nut to crack, North Dakota, even without Arnott. It was a pretty dismal game where Donuts just didn't gear up and probably though tit was won after first period.

Game notes:
* Donuts back to old habits and letting in the first goal.
* Donuts was in the lead up until late second period where they let go...
* Gomez held his streak alive and is now at 17.
* Rolstons hot streak came to a halt, no scoring and not even a shot on
goal under 23 min of figure skating.
* Neither Straka, Rolston or Jagr scored. they have scored 107 goals
together otherwise. Must be fairly uncommon that neither scores.
* Ibex out preformed Donuts this night, more goals more faceoffs,
shooting 30-31 to Donuts (very low for ´nuts this year), out hit, out cornered
and out passed!
* Best bet is that Stockholm is going to suffer day 132 instead. 
First star: Gomez, 1G, +1, 15-7 FO, 11-3 passing.
Second star: Straka, 1A, +1, 10-3 passing
Third star: Boucher, 1A, +1 7-0 passing.

Next game Stockholm at home, Donuts are healthy a marginal
player, Nicols, is out for the Moose. Best bet is that the
team want to get back on track. We aim for 50 SOGs, 5 goals
and 150 complete passes!

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 throw a wet blankett over River Cities, Day 104

It has been a few years that you have been scared going to meet RIV this year they are tame and calm. Biron got the chance to start this game.

First time in 5 games Donuts strike first, Samuelsson (3) after 2 minutes. Renegades countered to tie at the end of the period with lots of penalties in the peiod, 7. First period 1-1.

Second period started in the same pace as the first Jovanovski (9) after a minute on power play. 1 for 1 on the night. River Cities went 0for 5 while Donuts scored a short handed instead Lehtinen (19). Renegades and donuts exchanged a goal each more Lehtinen (20). After 2 periods 4-2 to Donuts and the ´nuts are now 33-2-1 after 2 period leads.

A goal a piece in the third with Straka (30) scoring in the last minute icing the game, 5-3. Straka now 2 up on Jagr in the internal scoring race.

First star: Lehtinen, 2G, 5 SOGs, GWG and SHG.
Second star: Boucher, 1A, 15-1 in passing.
Third star: Gomez, 1A, 10 SOGs and 8-1 in passing.

Tomorrow game in Copenhagen, no mayor injuries for any team, 2 reserves are just probable for Crusaders.

Donuts eat Preds, Day 100

So it was a though game against a healthy Predators, we thought, but no...

As usual the opponent takes the lead first, scored the lone goal in the first period for 0-1 lead while Donuts shot 17-6 on goal.

Second period at 18 seconds Niedermayer (11) tied the game and then the scoring continued with Langkow (22), Sharp (9) and Rolston (19). Preds got a gaol at this stage and made it 4-2 but Niedermayer (12) shortly there after scored his second of the night and period to make the game 5-2 at the 2nd intermission.

Third period Straka (29) pulled a head in the internal scoring by doing his 29th on a PPG and Boucher (12) rounded it out to 7-2 late in game. 50-18 in shooting and 1-5 power play for Donut against 0-2 for Preds.

First star: Niedermayer, 2G 1A, tied for team lead with +3 for the night and 15-3 in passing.
Second star: Boucher, 1G 1A, 5 SOGs and 12-0 in passing.
Third star: Doan, 2A, 5 hits and 7-0 in passing.

Next game tomorrow in Karlstad and revenge is needed on Killers (although last game was A Donut win at home in OT). Donuts are healthy and Killers are missing Gionta, Eaton and Klemm. That should even out the odds a bit.
