Macomb Area Conference (MAC) - White Division
Friday,

Suburban Ice Macomb (SIM)
In this Second Game of the 2010 Utica Cup ...
... the Top Two Teams in MAC White will have at
it ...
Eisenhower went Short-Handed right off the bat ...
... and Stevenson wasted No Time going on Offense ...
With just a Minute and Change off the Clock ...
... #7 Mitch Brinker Opens the Scoring for the Titans ...
... with Help from #2 Steve Minaudo and #5 Taylor Weiss.
Coming into This One, Ike is 3-0 in Divisional Play
...
... with the Titans 4-0 in the MAC White.
Guarding for Eisenhower is #33 Erik Rodak ...
... and #20 Mason Henige is In for Stevenson.
The Macomb Daily reported that the Home Boyz ...
... Out-Shot the Visitors Fourteen to Ten in P1 ...
... and, it sure looked like Goaler Henige was getting ...
... More than Hiz Fair Share of the Action!
The Eagles spent the Front Half of the First ...
... pretty much In and Around the Enemy Net ...
... with Nuthin' Happening ...
At 8:31 P1 ...
... Ike is on The Kill again ...
... so it was Mr. Rodak's Turn to be Busy ...
... He would be Busier as Another Eagle was
sent to the Box ...
... and, Stevenson made good on That Situation ...
... #10 Justin Zyvon from #18 Drew DeMarti and #7 Brinker,
again.
Would a Two-Goal Lead ...
... against Eisenhower be sufficient?
We didn't think so ...
... but, for all Their Efforts ...
... the Eagles could not get the Puck ...
... Past Number Twenty.
Solid!
At the 3:42 Marker ...
... Ike picked up Another Penalty ...
... giving Special Teams ...
... More Ice-Time ...
... but, the Defense ...
... and the Goaltending ...
... were Up-to-the-Task ...
... and Further Damage ...
... was Avoided ...
Exciting Stuff!
That goalie is outta hiz mind, eh?
Both Teams would get a Penalty ...
... at 0:32 ...
... to End the Period.
Ten Seconds into P2 ...
... #10 Zyvon Pads Stevenson's Lead ...
... Assist to #18 DeMarti, again ...
... and, with the Eagles Short-Handed ...
... once again, at 12:33 ...
... it sure looked like ...
... the Visitors ...
... would Bust This Thing Wide Open ...
Didn't happen, though ...
... as Eisenhower just Turned Up the Pressure ...
... Throwing Everything On Net ...
... and, generally, being a Big Nuisance ...
... to Mr. Henige.
Meanwhile, Rodak was Less Busy ...
Well, He might Disagree with That ...
... but, Fred Costello of The Macomb Daily reported that ...
... Shots were an Astounding Twenty-two ...
... on Stevenson ...
... Versus Eight on Ike ...
... just in P2!
Only a Matter of Time we were thinking ...
... and, at 7:53 P2 the Tide Turned in Favor of the
Eagles ...
... off the Rebound ...
... S C O R E ...
Give the Goal to #19 Ryan Kalinowski
from #23 Jonny Ognjanovski and #13 Nick VanSlembrouck.
Shortly thereafter, #47 Zack Halloran and #21 Ryan Maloney ...
... put the Puck on the Net ... then, a Rebound ...
... for #10 Justin Whitson to Finish Off ...
... at 6:31 P2.
Rah!
A Definite Momentum Shift ...
... in the House, now ...
... with All of the Action in the Visitor's End.
More shots, Boyz!
With Two-Thirds of the Period gone ...
... Ike gets back on the Power-Play ...
... and, Converts at 3:42 P2.
Give the Equalizer to #47 Halloran ...
... #27 Mike Walter and #4 Adam Nimtz Helping Out.
Nobody appeared to be ...
... Standing Around ...
... at the Moment ...
... with Battles ...
... Everywhere ... as P2 Concludes.
So, Even-Steven with One to go ...
... and Eisenhower gets Back-to-Work ...
... moving the Goalie from Side ...
... to Side ... and then, the Go-Ahead ...
... and Game Winner to the Captain #21 Maloney ...
... Thank-you-very-much #10 Whitson, again.
There would be No More Scoring ...
... in This Engagement ...
... even tho there were Opportunities ...
... at Both Ends ...
... with Henige getting Most of the Work ...
... well, Goalers Like Lots of Work we've been told ...
So, the rest of this Album ...
... will be Facebook Stuff ...
About the Eisenhower Comeback ...
... Reporter Costello wrote that Ike HC Bob Hall said ...
"... the tide of the game turned ...
"... once his team broke through for the first goal."
"We were trying to feed off that momentum," Hall continued ...
"We needed the break to get that momentum ...
"... and I knew that once we did our kids would step up."
With around Five Minutes to go in the Game ...
... a Time-Out is called ...
... a Final Chance to Plot Strategy and so forth ...
... with the Home Team going on the PP ...
... for a Few Seconds ...
... then, another Un-Timely Infraction ...
... to the Eagles at 3:13 P3 ...
... putting Rodak and Hiz Defense ...
... back on The Kill ...
#5 Weiss was, now ...
... a Real Big Issue for Eisenhower ...
... but, Their Goalie Stepped Up Big Time ...
... and Their Defense did likewise ...
... and, That would be That ...
... for this Game Number Two of the Utica Cup!
Good Game, Boyz ...
... and Goalies ... and ...
R A H!
On Sunday, Eisenhower and Utica met
for the Championship Game
which Ike would Win 3-1.
