Blyth Atoms squeak out win
BY RUSTY BLADES
The Blyth Atoms completed their
regular schedule last week when
they travelled to Zurich on January
25 and squeaked out a 5-4 win.
Brian McNichol opened the scor
ing as he wristed an unassisted
rocket past a startled Zurich goalie.
After Zurich tied the game. Chris
topher Howson gave Blyth a 2-1
first period lead. He took a pass in
the slot from Ryan Chamney and
flipped the puck over a fallen
goalie. Henry Bos gave Blyth a 3-1
lead midway through the second
period as he finished off a fine
individual rush with an unassisted
Talsma, and followed minutes later
with a Ron Strome goal from
Rutledge. The Bulls ended the
period scoring with 33 seconds left
on the clock when Rutledge scored
on a goal-mouth scramble with
assists going to Wheeler and
Kieffer.
The prettiest goal of the night
was scored early in the second as
power play marker.
Zurich’s hustle and determina
tion finally paid dividends as they
notched three straight goals to
forge ahead 4-3 with time running
out.
With just under four minutes left
in the game Ryan Chamney tied it
up as he took the rebound off
Jonathan Collin’s shot and scored
on a backhand just out of the reach
of the sprawled Zurich netminder.
Just 58 seconds later Jason Rut
ledge counted the winner as he
redirected Scott Arthur’s shot
through a maze of players. Brian
McNichol also earned an assist on
Ron Strome went end to end to up
the score to 4-0. At this point tne
Bulls relaxed and Mitchell fired
two quick goals for a 4-2 score. The
turning point of the game came
when Mitchell was awarded a
two-man advantage for 1-39. The
penalty-killers held the fort and the
Bulls added their fifth goal late in
the period - Rutledge from Camp
bell and Robertson.
the goal as he initiated the scoring
drive. Although outplayed by Zur
ich the Blyth squad bounced back
late to shade Zurich 5-4.
Congratulations to the Blyth
Atoms who played four penalty free
games in the recent Esso Penalty
Free Sweepstakes. The team opens
the playoffs at home tonight,
February 1 against Huron Park, a
team that has been hot recently.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Minne
sota North Stars goaltender Don
Beaupre, when asked if being only
5’8” and 150 pounds created a
problem: “I just have to stop the
puck, not beat it up.”
The Bulls sealed the win with
four powerplay goals in the third,
two by Rutledge and one each by
Fritz and Campbell. Jeff McGavin
stopped 35 shots for the win.
Sunday afternoon the Bulls were
completely humiliated by the Tavi
stock Braves 12-3.
It’s hard to believe but the
opening 25 minutes of play was
scoreless before Tavistock explod
ed for six goals in the second and
added six more in the third.
Goalscorers for Brussels were
Craig Robertson, Paul Coultes and
Bruce Johnston.
The Bulls were outshot 48-25
with John Steffler keeping the
score as close as it was as Tavistock
completely outhustled the juniors
from start to finish. Referee Rick
Jacklin had an easy game calling
only seven minors.
Congratulations goes to Marty
