Posted Mar 26/14 - Riels Silence the Hawks

Semi-Final Game #2
March 23, 2014
Riels 3 vs  Hawks 1  
 
 
FIRST PERIOD
Another great game in playoff action live at Eric Coy Arena between the St Boniface Riels and the Charleswood Hawks.  The Riels came out skating throughout the first period working hard and winning a lot of battles.  Only one goal scored in the first period and that was at the 11:37 mark when Matt Wilson finished off a beautiful three-way passing play from Russell Trudeau and Mark Sharman.  The Riels and Hawks were dead even in shots 10-10.
 
SECOND PERIOD
This period was close checking with Riels playing a solid defensive game.  Riels made some nice plays deep in Hawks territory.  The line of Charette, Dies and Izvekov were buzzing.  Then at 4:38, Brett Charette received a pass from Brian Dies and blasted the puck top shelf past Fleury-what a snipe!  That made the lead 2-0 Riels.  The Riels net minder Kyle Vandemosselaer was solid in the pipes, stopping all 24 shots after 40 minutes.  Hawks out shot the Riels 14-8 in the second frame.
 
THIRD PERIOD
Riels opened the scoring early in the third period at the 31st second mark when forward Brett Charette finished off a three way passing play beating Stuart Fleury to make it 3-0 Riels.  Assists went to Brian Dies and Sean Christensen.
The Hawks took advantage of the Riels miscue when Cory Yeroschak got in behind the Riels defense and made a nice deke to score sliding it past Vandemosselaer at 3:36 with assists going to McDonald and Hollyoake.
Riels continued to play solid defensively for the remainder of the game.  Hawks did not have too much to offer.  Riels defense was solid.  The Hawks were a frustrated group.  Not even the “tomahawk chant” would help them.  Riels out shot the Hawks in the third 12-8.
Kyle Vandemosselaer played a great solid focused game.  Riels were 0-4 on the power play and the Hawks were 0-3.  Riels now lead the series two games to none.  Next game is Tuesday night live at Southdale CC at 7:30pm…don’t miss the action.  Come and cheer on your Riels to victory!
