Bulls can do no right in playoff series The Brussels Bulls continued their round-robin playoff series in Seaforth on Saturday night. The effort was in vain as far as their own hopes were concerned but they could have played the part of spoiler as far as the other teams wereconcerned. Ifthe full team had appeared at the arena to play, those chances would have been possible but half a line-up is not sufficient to do the job. Seaforth opened the scoring at the one minute mark of the first period and never looked back. They added four more goals (much to goalie Jeff McGavin’s dispair) before Brussels got on the score­ board. Murray Dewar assisted by Tom Newbigging and Rollie Smith combined for the only goal of the period for Brussels while Seaforth added one more before the period ended 6 - 1 in their favour. Seaforth continued on to add two Blyth Atoms tie two games in the week It was a week when Blyth Atoms found themselves tied up: with Friday’s storm tying them up from getting to Huron Park and two other games ending in ties. Theweekstarted with agame against Brussels where the start­ ing Brussels goaltender prevented a Blyth win. Brett Lee started out in goal for Brussels but in the third period, took off the goal pads and roared out on offence to score two goals for a 2-2 tie. Mike McNichol had given Blyth a lead iathe first period with an unassisted goal. Kevin Souch closed out the second period with a Rusty issues a challenge BY RUSTY BLADES There is not much to report on the novice hockey scene this week but, to keep my loyal readers in Portershill informed, 1 will explain the week’s events. Mother Nature played havoc with the Blyth Lions novice tournament last Saturday. The event was cancelled and is tenta­ tively set for Saturday, March 22. More on that as details are announced. The only game action recorded this past week was on Wednesday night as the novices and atoms faced off again. This was another great game as the atoms, with their regular team, evened the season series with a 4 - 0 victory. The novice goalie was unable to attend so they used one of the many atom goalies. This might explain why Tyler Craig, who recorded the hat trick for the atoms, was observed handing the goalie a nice cold pop after the game. Atom coach Tony Van Bakel had another one of his famous “visions” after the game. In this “vision” he saw the atoms and novices playing a third game to declare a series winner. After this third game he “pictured’’ the Citizen editor and publisher, Keith Roulston, presenting refresh­ ments to both teams on behalf of his loyal, unpaid hockey reporters. Sounds good, eh kids? The novices are in Wingham on Thursday night at 6 o’clock for an exhibition game. Then they are off to Teeswater this Saturday for another tournament. Blyth plays their first game at 10 o’clock against Ripley. more goals in the second and take a commanding lead. The third per­ iod had Tom Newbigging and Murray Dewar combining for Brussels’ second goal of the game. Seaforth added another goal be­ fore Tom Newbigging unassisted scored for Brussels at the 10- minute mark of the period. Sea­ forth scored one more to make it a 10-3 score before the game ended. The Bull’s were at home Sunday night to the Grand Valley Harves­ ters once more with only half a team, but they provided an excellent game of hockey. Grand Valley opened the scoring with just38 seconds into the period which had every indication of being another wide open hockey game. Butthatwas nottobesowith Kevin McArter scoring unassisted for Brussels to tie the game shortly after. Tom Newbigging on a pass from Tim Fritz scored for the Bulls late goal assisted by Conrad Bos and Tyler Craig. Then Mr. Lee went to work with two goals, one from Todd Machan and one unassisted to end the game in a deadlock. Sunday afternoon the team travelled to Goderich where they continued to show fine defence but had problems in converting their chances around the opposition’s net. It was a good workout for the team with only nine skaters present. After a scoreless first period, roving defenceman Danny Van Bakel hammered home a centering pass from Craig Roulston and Kevin Souch to give Blyth the lead early in the second. The lead held up thanks to a couple of good saves of Brian Van Steelandt in the Blyth nets at one end and a lot of shot-blocking by the Goderich Defence in the other end. But early in the third Goderich scored to tie the game. Despite plenty of opportunities, including one hit-goalpost, Blyth couldn’t put the puck in the net for the rest of the way. to give Brussels a 2 -1 lead. Before the period ended the Valley scored to tie the game and managed to beat goalie Mike Smith for one more goal before the period ended. Brussels was dominating the play and the Valley goalie continu­ ed to make the saves. Kevin McArter scored his second of the game unassisted to give Brussels the tying goal of three each. The Valley once more was successful at taking the lead before the period ended. Brussels bombarded the Valley goalie with shots and finally Tom Newbigging was successful at tippingonepastthegoalie once more to give the lead to the Bulls. The Bulls had to play the last seven minutes of the game short- handed after one of the players took a fighting major after being struck in the throat by an oppon­ ent’s stick. The team played well and carried the play to the visitors but were unable to hold the Valley off as they got the go-ahead goal in the dying minutes of the game. Brusselsout-shotthe Valley 41 - 27 and certainly deserved the win butthe Grand Valley goalie and three goal-post shots kept the visitors alive during the seven minute short-handed play. After this weekend Grand Valley and Tavistock are tied at 10 points each and Seaforth is right behind with 8 points. All games will be completed by this weekend with the two top teams playing off for the northern division.
