Times-Advocate, 1985-02-27, Page 13Hawks one game down Home to Braves, Thursday The Tavistock Braves have used home ice advantage to built a 2-1 lead over the Exeter Hawks in their best - of -seven northern division semi-final. However, all three games have been close battles and fans should be in for some exciting hockey as the series wraps up this week. The Braves opened the series with an 8-6 win at home on Thursday, while the Hawks rebounded to knot the set with a 5-3 victory in Hensall, Sunday. Monday night,' the Braves regained the upper hand as they scored three times in overtime to post an 8-5 verdict_ The Hawks will host the Braves at the rec centre on Thursday and then travel back to Tavistock on Friday for the fifth game. If a sixth game is needed, it will be played in Exeter on Sunday night and the seventh is slated for the Braves home ice on Monday. The Braves had protested Sunday's Toss in Hensel! due to the fact assis- tant coach Bob Zimmer's name had not been on the game report. t[owever, word on Monday was that the protest would not be entertained. If the Hawks lose on home ice, Thursday, it could be their final ap- pearance of the year. It could also be the final home game -in the junior careers of several squad members. All three gatnes have been evenly played to date, but the Hawks will have to stop league scoring leader Kevin Albrecht in Tavistock if they hope to advance in further playoff ac- tion. Albrecht has scored three goals in each of his two home games. Extra action Both squads rallied from deficits to send Monday's third game into over- time and the Braves scored three times in the extra session to post their 8-5 triumph. The Hawks led 2-1 after the first and still had that one -goal margin at the end of two, but the Braves pulled even after 40 seconds of play in the third when they scored on a short-handed effort. Exeter regained the lead at the 3:17 mark, but the Braves then stormed back to take a 5-4 margin with less than six minutes to -play. The Hawks evened -the count with just under three minutes to go. Ovetime was less than three minutes old when Terry Ross scored the winner and the Braves added two more, one into an empty net, to recap- ture the series lead. Bill Glover scored twice for the Hawks, with the singles coming off the sticks of Jeff Rowe, Mike Clark and Steve Batten. Clark added three assists to lead in that department. with t e ors , Scott Bogart, Don Hamilton; Brian Miter, Ted Hodgins and Glover. .League scoring leader Kevin Albrecht and last year's MVP Terry Ross figured in all eight Tavistock goals. Albrecht had three markers and five assists, while Ross scored twice and had two assists. The Hawks had yet to find a way to stop the duo. Goalies Pete Dearing and Mike Oliver again faced a barrage of shots in the wide-open contest. Oliver finished with 44 saves and Dearing had 40. Dearing kept the I hawks in the game in the first as he stopped 15 shots, while Oliver -was at his best in the third when the Exeter crew pop- ped him with 18 shots. Both squads scored two powerplay markers as each recorded 15 penalties. The total • included four fighting majors with three seconds left in overtime as Jeff Rowe and Brian Horner of the Hawks squared off with Tavistock's Terry Tomiuk and Albrecht. Quick start Sunday's home ice advantage for the Hawks was in theory only as they were shunted to the Hensall arena due to a tournament at the rec centre. But the unfamiliar surroundings failed to daunt them as they stormed to the at- tack in the first period and built up a two -goal lead that they managed to protect through most of the contest for a 5-3 triumph. Only the nimble antics of Braves netminder Mike Oliver kept the locals from blowing the visitors right out of the rink as they peppered him with 23 shots in the -opening frame. Ted Hodgins opened the scoring at the 3:03 mark when his point shot found the range on a goal set up by Scott Brintnell and Trevor.Johnston. Jeff Pfaff made it 2-0 with five minutes left in the stanza as he blasted a screened shot past Oliver on a powerplay with Steve Prout and Brintnell drawing the assists.

Brintnell re -opened the two -goal lead for the Hawks on a' powerplay at the 11:12 mark with Brian Horner and Sean Whiteford assisting. During the second, the Hawks played four -against -six on two occa- sions and weathered the storm.
