Eastman Selects: 4    Norman  Northstars: 1  (Feb. 7th game)

The Selects made the long road trip to Thompson this past weekend, to face a NorMan team that is chasing down the Thrashers for 4th position in the Eastern conference. The Selects had some good jump to them on Saturday evening's game, beating the host team 7 - 1. Sunday afternoon's game showed a slightly more tired Eastman team, however they still were able to be effective in shutting down the northern team with a 4 - 1 score.

Sunday game started with Tyson Stoesz opening the scoring shortly after the puck was dropped, with Tim Beck setting up the goal. Brendan Harms converted on a nice passing play from Dylan Reimer and Russell Trudeau at the 14:15 mark, and they would take a 2 -0 lead into the first intermission.

The only goal of the second period came courtesy of Dylan Reimer, picking up a clearing pass from Brett Cote. In the third period, the Northstars snapped Brendan Edie's shut-out bid with a scrambly goal with only 4 minutes left in the game. With the Norman goalie pulled for the extra attacker, Tim Beck picked up a lose puck in the defensive zone, broke to the outside, and put it between the pipes to get the empty-netter. Brendan Edie had a strong outing, turning aside 26 out of 27 shots on net. The Selects were able to pump 36 shots onto the Northstar goalie, who was instrumental in keeping the score as close as it was.

In spite of some good early pressure by the Selects, Saturday night's game did not see its first goal until late in the 1st period when Brent Wold made no mistake in putting the puck away after being helped out by Russell Trudeau and Tim Rollins. A Select's second goal came a few minutes later off the stick of Russell Trudeau, this time Brent Wold returning the favor with the assist.  Shots on goal after 20 minutes of play was 13 to 4 in favor of Eastman.

Russell Trudeau netted his second goal of the game, with the assist going to Brett Cote at the 15:15 point of the period to make it a 4-0 Eastman lead. Tim Rollins continued the scoring pressure, showing great speed to the outside and beating the Northstar's d-men. Dalton Reimer and Brent Wold picked up the assists on Tim's goal. NorMan cut the lead to 5-1 on a goal of their own before the period was through.

In the third period, the Selects were quick to reply back as Erik Pushka banged one home after a set-up pass from Yvan Pattyn. To finish off the scoring, Russell Trudeau converted after a passing play from Erik Pushka and Dylan Reimer. A 7 - 1 final, as Isaiah Plett kicked out 24 of 25 shots on the Select's net for the victory. Again, Eastman outshot the NorMan team with 32 of their own.
