Larkowski's OT Goal Lifts Jr. Blues Past Chicago!
In a thrilling game that had all the makings of an upset, the
Jr. Blues showed their determination. Tim Jost
started the game with a power play goal. Tom Lange
and Joe Combs assisted on the play. The
Chicago Force tied the score on a 5 on 3 power play. The
second period was dominated by the Jr. Blues but they couldn't
pull away. Eddie Effinger converted a Brendan
Sheehan two on one pass to give the Jr. Blues the lead.
Ryan Kretzer then knocked in a mid-air rebound on
a Pat Dolan shot on the power play. Eddie
Effinger also assisted. The Force then scored a
strange goal from the redline that bounced almost sideways to
hit the St. Louis net. With the Jr. Blues clinging to a 1
goal 3rd period lead, the Force tied it on the power play.
Despite a terrific effort by the Jr. Blues, the game was tied
3-3 after regulation. The Jr. Blues had 62 shots on goal,
plus 12 goal posts or crossbars hit. But the game was tied
and headed to sudden death overtime. The Jr. Blues were
relentless in the overtime with numerous scoring chances.
After a big penalty kill, the Jr. Blues went back on the attack.
Pat Dolan won a battle in his own zone and skated
down the ice. He hit Chad Larkowski skating
down the right wing boards. Larkowski
wristed a quick low shot to finally beat the Chicago goaltender
who faced 76 shots on the night. The goal sparked a game
and series ending celebration to the delight of the big crowd at
the Affton Ice Rink. The Jr. Blues try to defend the
Hurster Cup this week starting Thursday against the Toledo
Cherokee.

Sloppy
Play Forces Jr. Blues to Come From Behind Against Chiefs
Sloppy play by the Jr. Blues led to two Motor City goals and
put the Jr. Blues down 2-0 after the first period. The
Jr. Blues got things turned around with Grant Everett
and Ryan Holzum leading the way. Everett
made a terrific rush and set up Holzum to
close the gap to 2-1. The two combined again as Everett
made a one on two rush and bowled his way to the net. Holzum
took the rebound back to the net and a prone Everett
knocked it in off his stomach to tie the score. The third
period was tense as both teams had scoring chances. Tim
Jost deflected a Pat Dolan shot to
give the Jr. Blues the lead with only 7 minutes to play.
Tom Lange and Kyle Gouge added

Jr. Blues 7,
Peoria Mustangs 0!
The Jr. Blues completed their season sweep of the Peoria
Mustangs with a resounding 7-0 win. The hungry Jr. Blues
sealed the game early with a barrage of action. Tom
Lange made great move scoring the game's first goal
after a great passing play from line mates Tim Jost and
Ryan Loach. Moments later the exact same
three combined to make it 2-0. The play started as Pat
Dolan broke up a rush and hit Loach with a
perfect pass. Loach slid it to Jost
who made a quick shot with Lange depositing the
rebound. Cal Heeter started the next Jr.
Blues offensive rush as he made a save and the Tim Jost
tipped it to Chris Saracino. Saracino
made a length of the ice rush resulting in his second goal of
the weekend as the Jr. Blues were flying. 26 seconds later
Ryan Kretzer used his speed on a rush and hit Ed
Effinger crashing the net who deflected it in. Chad
Larkowski also assisted. Then, one of the more
bizarre things seen at the Affton Ice Rink occurred. Kyle
Gouge was tripped on a breakaway and was rewarded a
penalty shot. As he started on his penalty shot, the
Peoria goaltender lost his footing and fell. The
goaltender was down and out way out of position and Gouge
calmly placed a backhander for the 5th St. Louis goal.
The second period might have been the best of the weekend for
the Jr. Blues as they attacked with 24 shots. Ryan
Kretzer scored a power play goal on a perfect shot off a
Chad Larkowski set up. Chris Saracino
also assisted. Then, Bret Morrell scored
another power play goal on a one-timer off a Tom Lange
feed. Tim Jost also assisted. The
third period the Jr. Blues just ran out the clock and preserved Cal
Heeter's league leading 7th shutout.
The Jr. Blues outshot the Mustangs 54-23 on the game and 104-51
for the weekend. The Jr. Blues outscored the Mustangs 20-2
in their four game season sweep.

Jr.
Blues Come From Behind to
Defeat the Mustangs!
The Jr. Blues hadn't been down in their own building many
times this season, much less down by two goals. But
the Mustangs jumped to an early 2 goal lead. Tim
Jost scored the all important momentum changing goal
late in the first period after a mad scramble in front of
the Peoria net. Tom Lange and Ryan
Loach assisted on the goal.
The second period was a Jr. Blues clinic of speed,
skill and determination. With the Jr. Blues
shorthanded, they applied pressure forcing a face-off in the
Mustang zone. Ryan Loach walked the
center and hit Tom Lange for the tap in to tie
the score. Moments later, with the Jr. Blues on the
power play, Chris Saracino blasted a shot from
the slot off a Ryan Loach feed. Tim
Jost also assisted on the play. The Jr. Blues
weren't satisfied as they were relentless in the period.
Dan Weiss found Kyle Gouge all
alone in the slot. Gouge one-timed the
pass and then knocked in his own rebound out of mid-air for
the goal. Late in the period on the power play.
The Jr. Blues tic-tac-toed the Mustangs with Eddie
Effinger sniping a shot over the goaltender's
shoulder. Chad Larkowski and Bret
Morrell assisted. The third period saw the Jr.
Blues kill 3 consecutive penalties as Robby Moss
picked up his 18th win of the year.
