Wolves don't bite Donuts, Day 129

So it was a home game against Timberwolves (do they work in a sawmill or something?) and it was before hand to be a loopsided affair but the Wolves put up a decent fight but was overcome in a scoring frenzy at end of second period as the Donuts scored the last 6 goals.

Game notes:
*It was Rolstons second hattrick since the blogg opened, his other was late februari against Calgary.
* Gomez got an assist so his streak is now at 16 games with at least a point.
* Donuts out shoot the Wolves with 45-23 and camped for 13:29 in the offensive zone and out passed 148-107.
* Jagr didn't score so the scoring race is now Straka 38, Rolston 36 and Jagr 33. I think Jagr is due!
* Thanks Pavelski, I din't trade you to score on me!
* Usually a top team is everywhere in top 10 stats but Donuts are not even close. I think it shows that the team is very balanced and not a one line team but three very complete lines. Nieds is at least a top3 in defensive scoring.
* Rolston has a 6 game scoring streak, 5 of the game he has had the first star!

First star: Rolston, 3G 1A, GWG, 10 SOGs, 15-2 in passing.
Second star: Zubov, 4A, 21-1 passing.
Third star: Niedermayer, 1G 1A, +2 for the night top of the team, 4-2 in corners and 20-2 in passing.

Tomorrow a harder nut to crack in the form of the former champs North Dakota. Donuts are healthy Arnott is out the line up for Ibex, thanks! :-]

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.
