18 ~ Wednesday, October 19, 1988 - Nosth Shore News Fiames break THE NSWC Flames hockey team staked a claim for a share of first place as they doubled the Buckeroos 6-3 in Port Coquitlam and then prevailed for an 8-6 win over the Grandview Steelers at home. Saturday’s penalty-filled triumph over the Steelers could have qualified as a Flames’ clinic in penalty killing and goaltending as the Flames spent the better part of the night fending off five-on- three and five-on-four manpower disadvantages. The two teams traded power- play goals early in the game, the Steelers striking first at 4:18 and the Flames replying just over a minute later with Ken Savage scor- ing from Andrew Merilees and Scott Rawson. Two minutes later the Flames added another power-play goal with Merilees scoring from Scott Gordon and Rawson for a 2-1 first period lead. A goal by Brad Kyllo from Kevin Buby and Brad Minions put the Flames ahead 3-1! at 7:01 of the middle frame. Just over a minute later Rawson, who had a big night with a hat trick and three assists, converted a Savage pass to put the Flames up 4-1. But less than a minute later, Grandview replied with a power- play goal and then added another marker at 11:07 to cut the locals’ lead 4-3. With six minutes remaining in the period and Grandview on the power-play, Rawson scooped up Kyle Hannay’s clearing pass at mid-ice and took it in for the score and a 5-3 lead for the Flames after two. Eighteen seconds into the final frame Rawson connected with his iat trick goal from Savage and Seac Morrison to give the Flames what app-cred to be a comfortable lead. But by the 8:37 mark of the period the Steelers drew even with three unanswered goals — scoring the first shorthanded and then ad- ding two more on the power play — before Merilees scored the game winner from Rawson and Wade Bartok with the man advantage. Savage teamed with Gordon for the final goal of the game, scoring into an empty net with six seconds remaining. . Grandview outshot the Flames 52-39 with Gary Knight turning in a spectacular performance in goal for the locals — as did Kevin Rad- bourne, who had to come in cold following Knight’s ejection from the game midway through the third period. In the Flames 6-3 win over the Buckeroos two days before, all the scoring was confined to the first two periods of the game. Rawson opened the scoring for the Flames from Savage and Bar- tok midway through the first period followed by Gordon’s tally from Jason Loewen only 31 se- conds later. The North Shore team added two more unanswered goals with Merilees finding the mark from Bartok, and Rawson at the ten minute mark and then Savage not- ching another from Minions and Steve Harris with six seconds re- maining for a 4-0 first period lead. PoCo got on the scoreboard eight minutes into the middle frame. Buhr got that one back for the Flames with an unassisted goal 30 seconds later and then added another at 32:12 assisted by Kyllo. The Buckeroos tallied twice in the final minutes of the game for the 6-3 final. The Flames outshot the Buckeroos 43-30 with Radbourne going the distance in goal for the locals. In action the previous weekend, the Flames had to scttle for a split, beating the Burnaby Bluchawks 9-3 and then suffering a first defeat of the season to the White Rock Whalers 6-4. In the loss to White Rock, it was a case of winning in every depart- ment except the one that counted — on the scoreboard. The Flames dominated play throughout the game, but inability to convert on their scoring oppor- tunities left the door open for the Whalers to capitalize on their chances. The Flames opened the scoring in the game on a goal by Scott Gordon from John Cox 1:50 into the game before White Rock replied with the equalizer midway through the period. uckeroos, ben A power-play goal by Savage from Morrison and Bartok put the Flames ahead again. But then with only 49 seconds remaining in the period, the Whalers replied with a power-play goal of their own to knot the score at two. While outshooting White Rock 17-8 in the middle frame, the Flames were unable to find the scoring combination and fell behind 3-2 as the Whalers scored from a goal-front scramble with only one second remaining in the period. Just 1:29 into the third period, Buhr combined with Richard Tetzlaff and Bartok to bring the two teams even again at 3-3.

Two minutes later the Whalers produced the game-winner, and then added the insurance goal with the Flames pressing for the equalizer. Despite the loss, goaltender Radbourne — who made his first start with the Flames — came up with a great performance in the nets and could not be faulted on any of the goals.
