The Times Advocate, 2004-04-14, Page 1818 Exeter Times–Advocate Wednesday,April 14, 2004 Tavistock takes 2-1 lead in finals with pair of wins By Pat Bolen TIMESADVOCATE STAFF TAVISTOCK — The Tavistock Braves took a 2-1 lead over the Exeter Hawks in their OHA finals series with a 6-4 win over the Hawks at home Sunday night. The Braves evened the series in Exeter Friday night with a 3-2 win after the Hawks opened the series April 5 with an 8-4 win in Tavistock. The Hawks will try to even the series tonight (Wednesday) at 8 p.m. on home ice before travelling to Tavistock for game five Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Game six if necessary will be April 16 in Exeter at 8 p.m. with game seven April 18 in Tavistock at 8 p.m. The Hawks used their special teams in game one to roll to an 8-4 win, with two power play goals and three short- handed, including two on the short Tavistock power play. Jason Stuckless led the attack with two goals and an assist, with single markers from Jeff Finkbeiner, Pat Clark, Scott Davies, Daryl Bourne, Shawn Sherwood, and Travis Elder. Friday night the Hawks looked as if they would be in a hole early after a seven minute penalty in the first period to Henny Pfaff for an interference call and five minutes for head butting. But despite the extend- ed power play, the Braves were unable to generate any sustained pressure, with Exeter goalie Justin Hayter tested only a cou- ple of times. Tavistock took advan- tage of another power play late in the period with Arik O'Connell putting them up 1-0 with 1:09 left in the period. The Braves put on pres- sure early in the second period, forcing Hayter to make several saves, espe- cially on a two-man advantage for Tavistock. With Jeff Roes alone in front, Hayter outwaited the Tavistock player before taking the shot in the pads. Hayter kept the score close again later in the period stopping a short- handed breakaway by Matt Trahan. Tavistock took a 2-0 lead early in the third as they converted a two on one, with Trahan taking a pass and driving a shot through Hayter. But the Hawks came to life midway through the period with a pair of goals two minutes apart. Cutting across the slot, Davies couldn't beat Tavistock goalie Kris Yungblut, but seconds later Sherwood was left alone in the same postion and made no mistake, fir- ing it past Youngblut. Just two minutes later, Joe Nesbitt fired a shot from the blueline Yungblut got a piece of the shot but couldn't come up with the save, making it 2-2. The Hawks continued to press for the go-ahead goal but despite a series of chances couldn't beat Yungblut, as Sherwood was stopped on a break- away and Stuckless fired a shot just over the net. The Braves took advan- tage with three minutes left, as Roes took a pass from behind the net and fired it by Hayter for the 3-2 lead and the win. Sunday night, after Tavistock took a 1-0 lead into the second period, Elder tied it early before Davies put the Hawks ahead with a power play marker four minutes later. But the Braves struck back with a pair, tying it at two just over a minute later, before retaking the lead with two seconds left in the period on a power play. The Braves increased its lead 33 seconds into the third period, before the Hawks got back with- in one with a power play marker of their own at 17:24 by Michael Carnegie. But Tavistock restored its two -goal margin three minutes later for a 5-3 lead. Matt Vlemmix got the Hawks within one goal with six minutes left, but it was as close as they could get and the Braves sealed the win with an empty net power play goal with 13 seconds left. Exeter Hawk coach Dave Revington said the finish of the Hawks hasn't been good the last two games."Our puck han- dling has been poor, and we're not getting a good forecheck. The puck is coming out of the offen- sive zone too easily." "They're getting some really good work out of Exeter Legion Youth Dart League OWEN SOUND — Fifteen members of the Exeter Legion Youth Dart League participated in the District C Youth Dart Tournament held at the Owen Sound Legion April 4.

"Goals with one second left in the period and 33 seconds into another really hurt." Revington said Chad Deman, who left Friday's game with a knee injury will be a game time deci- sion Wednesday.
