iC Fiames end losing streak

AFTER SUFFERING a 12-7
shellacking vt the hands of the
Pilots in Abbocsford on Nov.15,
the NSWC Flames rebounded with
a hard-earned and well-deserved
4-3 win at home Nov. 19 over the
Seattle Northwest Americans in
West Coast Junior Hockey League
action.

In Saturday’s hard-hitting,
close-checking clash at the Winter
Club, two crucial goals by Ken
Savage earned the Flames a
dramatic 4-3 overtime win for the
Flames while ending the team’s
losing streak at four games.

Andrew Merilees’ unassisted
goal at the 8:17 mark of the first
period stood up for a 1-0 Flames’
Jead until the midpoint of the third
period.

But then the shootout began.

Two unanswered Seattle goals ~
the first coming at 11:19 and the
second at 15:04, put the Americans
in front 2-1,

Nineteen seconds later Flames’
newcomer Rob McLaughlin knot-
ted the score at two.

Then with only forty-seven se-
conds remaining in the game, the
Americans notched what appeared
to be the game winner.

But a great individual effort by
Savage saved the day for the
Flames.

Picking up a
McLaughlin and goaltender Gary
Knight at his own blueline, Savage
stickhandled his way through the

relay from

Seattle defenders to score the
equalizer at 19:32 and send the
game into overtime.

Savage’s game winner, which
was assisted by Merilees, came
with only thirty seconds remaining
in the sudden victory overtime
period.

Knight, who was outstanding in
goal for the Flames, stopped 32
shots — four coming in overtime
while the Seattle netminder made
34 stops — three of them in over-
time.

When the two teams last met at
the end of October in Seattle, the
Americans defeated the Flames 4-
3...also in overtime.

On Nov, 15 at Abbotsford, the
two teams traded power-play goals
early in the game.

The Pilots scored the first two
Minutes into the opening frame
and the Merilees’ reply from Ken
Savage and Kevin Buh at the 5:28
mark.

But before the period ended, the
Pilots scored again on the power
play and then added two more
with both teams at full strength for
