Otters Use 8 goal 2nd to roll over Ice Dogs




The Erie Otters used an eight goal second period to absolutely dismantle the Niagara Ice Dogs 10-1 in front of 5,015 fans at the Erie Insurance Center. The first period was actually quite misleading as the Ice Dogs ended the period with a 1-0 lead despite being outshot 14 to 7 in said period. The second period was another story altogether as the Otters rattled off eight straight goals and 29 total shots, the Otters would fire home two more goals before the end of the game as well as outshooting the Ice Dogs 60-14, yes 60-14. The Otters were led offensively by Anthony Cirelli (3 goals), Christian Girhiny (2 goals), and Cam Lizotte (2 goals) and goaltender TroyTimpano stopped 13 of 14 shots for the victory. Ice Dogs goaltender StephenDhillon stopped 35 of 43 shots before rookie goaltender Colton Incze came in relief and stopped 15 of 17 shots to end the game. This was the 5th time in Otters team history that the team had 60 or more shots in one game, it was also the second time this season that the Otters scored 10 goals. This victory pushed the season series lead to 3 games as the Otters go up 4-1-0 over the Ice Dogs this season.

NCAA Finals: Denver Wins National Championship

Credit NCAA.com Frozen Four Harvard (1) Vs. Minnesota Duluth (2)  The University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs defeated the Harvard Crimson 2-1 in the first of two semifinals at the United Center in Chicago. Harvard led the play early with quick passing in the offensive zone. Tyler Moy scored Harvard only goal at 15 minutes of the first period, entering the zone and firing it over the shoulder of Minnesota's goaltender. This would be the last impressive change they would have as the Bulldog's would continue to bully the Crimson and would score the final two goals to win the game. Minnesota will await their final team to play in the championship on Saturday night. Denver(6) Vs. Notre Dame(1)  The Denver Pioneers used a six goal offensive explosion to be the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame in the second semifinal game of the Frozen Four. This game was never close even for a second as Denver jumped on the Fighting Irish early and often. Senior forward Emil Rom...

Ottawa 67's Vs. London Knights February 20, 2017

Monday February 20, 2017 TD Place, Ottawa Ontario Ottawa 67’s* (20-29-6, 8 th in Eastern Conference)   Vs. London Knights (36-11-7, 3 rd in Western Conference)                                                                 Claus Anderson-Getty Images  This is game is a story of teams going in two different directions in the standings. London (6-4-0 last 10 games) is in the middle of a two game losing streak, but that does not take away from their stellar regular season that has them clinching a playoff spot over a month before the season ends. Ottawa (2-7-1 last 10 games) is in the middle of a 6 game losing streak and is in danger of missing out on the playoffs baring a huge end of season push. Skaters in the spotlight: Ottawa: Chris Martenet (Dallas Stars 2015 4 th round pick, #103 ove...

Atlantic Goes Primetime: Former Mercyhurst Goaltender may Find Himself on Olympic Squad

Credit Elite Prospects  With the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea  less than a year away and NHL still not having any set plans in place for their sending their players to these games, it is looking as if the biggest hockey league in North America will not be participating. This does not come as a huge shock to any around the game as for the past couple Winter Olympics there has been complaints from fans and owners alike that stopping the NHL season right near the end to go and play in international competition was too disruptive to the league and its players. Although this closes the door for any player under NHL contract from playing for any nation in these games, it opens the door for players who might not otherwise get this opportunity. Enter Ryan Zapolski ...
