Rebel captain Lorne Kanigan keeps his eyes on the puck while a Rossland Warrior tries to tie him up during last 6-5. night's KIJHL contest at the Community Complex. The Rebels won CALGARY (CP) — Calgary Flames are beginning to hear the distant drums. “It’s not something we'd been pounding the drums about, but I beat them pretty good on the bench tonight,” said coach Terry Crisp, after the Flames rebounded for a 3-3 tie against Vancouver Canucks in a National Hockey League game. The tie allowed the Flames to improve their unbeaten streak at the Olympic Saddledome to 13 games (10-0-3) — no other team in the league has such a string still alive this season. “When you're in danger of losing something like this (streak) ... suddenly, it becomes much bigger,” Crisp said. Calgary needed two second-period goals by Joe dyk, then a streak-saving goal by Doug Gilmour to earn the tie before a crowd of 18,223. “The media's really eating it up now, Nieuwendyk said of the streak, which now stands within five of the franchise record, established in 1978 when the team was based in Atlanta. The media are also paying more attention to the Canucks, who extended their unbeaten string to six (4-0-2), the club’s longest since late in the 1985-86 season. “It's [going to help our confidence,” said Vancouver coach Bob McCammon. “We didn't have a Canucks tie Flames great game .. . but we played well enough for a tie.” Vancouver goalie Steve Weeks starred in the tie, blocking 41 shots. “That's a misnomer if I ever heard one,” Crisp said of the goalie’s name. “That's a snow job..There’s nothing weak about him.” “He's on top of his game right now,” McCammon said of Weeks, who was named Monday as the league's player of the week. “We tried to limit their quality shots,” Weeks. While Weeks was being bombarded, Calgary goalie Rick Wamsley only had to face 21 shots. Robert Nordmark, Kevan Guy and Tony Tanti scored for Vancouver — Nordmark and Guy within 14 seconds of each other in the first period. Nieuwendyk tied it with two goals in the second. Tanti sent Vancouver ahead at 10:53, fighting off a check by defenceman Al MacInnis and driving to the net to bang in a pass from Jim Sandlak. But Gilmour tied it with a power-play goal, the second of the night for the Flames, picking up a rebound off fallen defenceman Harold Snepsts and flipping the puck into the net over Weeks. Neither team had a good scoring chance in overtime as Calgary increased its Smythe Division lead to five points over the idle Edmonton Oilers. Vancouver is fourth in the division. said Flyers snap four-game skid By the Canadian Press There's nothing like being a Philadelphia Flyer. So says Mike Bullard, who just became one, and Peter Zezel, who used to be one. Just hours after being acquired by the Flyers from the St. Louis Blues for Zezel, Bullard scored one goal and Rich Tochhet had two as Philadelphia snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory Tuesday over the Boston Bruins. “It feels great to play for the Flyers,” Bullard said, adding he hopes to turn around a National Hockey League season that has started poorly for him. “They label me a scorer and getting only five goals in 21 games is a joke for me,” he said. “I was dissatisfied with the Blues. They were keying on me there and now I'm coming to a team with a lot of talent.” While Bullard relished his Flyer debut, Zezel — who spent five years with Philadelphia — just tried to get through his first game with the Blues. been a long day,” Zezel said after picking up an assist in a losing cause as the Washington Capitals won 4-3. “I could have sat this one out, but I wanted to get the first one over with.” The two goals were Tocchet's first against the Bruins in his five years in the NHL. In his last 11 games, Toechet has had 12 goals and seven assists. Tim Kerr, with his 22nd goal, and Terry Carkner had the other Flyer goals. Andy Brickley was the only Bruin to beat Philadelphia goalie Ron Hextall who won for just the second time in his last 12 starts. CAPITALS 4 BLUES 3 John Druce registered his first NHL point when he scored with 1:25 remaining to lift: Washington to its seventh win in eight games. Dave Christian, Kevin Hatcher and Mike Ridley also scored for the Capitals. St. Louis got goals from Bernie Federko, Brian Benning and Greg Paslawski. RED WINGS 5 ISLANDERS 3 Steve Yzerman and Adam Graves scored 10 seconds apart midway through the second period as Detroit extended the Islanders’ losing streak to five mes. Yzerman had two goals overall while Paul Maclean and Gerard Gallant added singles for the Red Wings, who are 9-2 in their last 11 games. Mike Stevens, Brent Sutter and Bryan Trottier replied for the Islanders. STARS 5 HAWKS 2 Brian MacLellan had a goal and two assists and Marc Habscheid had two goals as Minnesota won a third straight game for the first time since Nov. 27-Dec. 1, 1987. RANGERS 4 JETS 3 John Ogrodnick scored his first goal of the season at 16:47 of the third period to break a 3-3 tie and give the Rangers the win over Winnipeg. Tony Granato, who assisted on the winning goal, scored once himself and Guy Lafleur scored twice. Dave Ellett scored twice and Doug Smail once for the Jets. KINGS 9 DEVILS 3 Dave Taylor, Mike Allison and Wayne Gretzky scored two goals apiece as Los Angeles snapped a two-game losing streak, Dean Kennedy, Dale DeGray and Luc Robitaille added the other King goals. Bernie Nicholls, who had his 10-game goal scoring streak snapped in Calgary last Saturday night, had one assist. their first game in ten starts last night, beating the Rossland Warriors CasNews photo by Nick Allan Bantams humble Nelson The Castlegar Bantam Reps were in Penticton last week dropping two exhibition decisions to the host team — 81 and 7-5 — before returning home Sunday to defeat Nelson 8-2 in league play. Castlegar was badly out-gunned in the opening game as the Penticton team skated to an easy victory. Penticton led 6-0 in the opening period and could have scored more had it not been for some steady goaltending from Vaughan Welych “Castlegar made improvements to record a scoreless second period and a third period which was a close 2-1 edge for the hosts. Despite having the man advantage often — Castle. gar took only 28 minutes in penal ties compared to 36 for Penticton — Castlgar could manage only a single goal scored by Nino DaCosta, as sisted by Tom Phipps and John Strelaeff. Penticton goals were scored by DeHart with a hattrick, Frank Stro- bel and MacKinley with a pair each, and Minshall with a single. The second game was a much closer contest with period scores of 2-1, 2-2 and 3-2 for the hosts. Joel Audet played a very strong game in the Castlegar net. Dehart got his second consecutive hat trick for Pen ticton, while singles went to Strobel, McDougal, Mackinley and Fletcher. Castlegar scorers were Cavaghan, Green, DaCosta, Dustin Rilcof and Kazakoff. Acting coach Russil Rilcof was pleased with the team's ‘im proved play. Sunday's league game against Nelson was dominated by Castlegar from the opening face-off. Nelson took 25 minutes in penalties com pared to 14 for Castlegar. Period scores were 2-1, 2-0 and 4-1 for the home team. Gus Adams set up both of Nelson's goals which were scored by Stathis Dimoupolis and Chad Richichi. Chris Postnikoff, David Green, Derek La. londe and Derek Kazakoff each scored a pair of goals for Castlegar. Joel Audet played a solid game in net for Castlegar, making several ex ceptional saves. Patrick Gris played a steady game in the Nelson goal. The Bantam's next game is on Saturday in Nelson at 2:45 p.m. Rebels win shootout By CasNews Staff Olie Rubner's slap shot from the slot proved to be the difference as the Castlegar Rebels beat the Rossland Warriors 6-5 in KIJHL ac tion at the Community Complex last night. Andre Savard fed Ruber the puck after digging it out from behind the Rossland net. Savard’s pass hit Rubner's stick in the deep slot and Rubner floated in to the top of the circle before wiring a shot past stunned Rossland goalie Obe Davis. Rubner’s game-winner came with 6:50 left in regulation time. It was the Rebels first victory in 10 starts — the last win for the Rebels was Nov. 30 against the Elk Valley Raiders — and it was the first victory this season for new Rebel coach Ken Swetlishoff. “We've been working hard,” Swet lishoff told the Castlegar News fol. lowing the contest. “It was just sheer aggression, high intensity play.” The Rebels got the early lead as Taylor Harding scored his first of three goals in the contest..Lorne Kanigan assisted. Rossland got the next two goals. Mike Krause scored from Ryan Lilley and Dennis Olson and Rick Rougeau scored from Krause. Rossland led 2-1 after one period. Castlegar owned the second per- iod, scoringthree goals while holding Rossland scoreless. Harding netted his second goal of the night, this time from Andre Savard and Roger Carl- son. Shawn McAdie converted a play from Kanigan and Semenoff and Harding completed the hat trick on a play from Carlson and Savard with 33 seconds remaining in the period. The Rebels led 4-2 after two. The Rebels took a three-goal lead early in the third when McAdie scored his second goal of the night. Semenoff and Finley assisted. But Rossland came storming back, scoring three goals to tie the game. Miro Pasic scored from Shane Jack- son and Brian Thorburn. Dave Yuris then skated through the Rebel zone to score an unassisted goal and Andy Wingrove scored from DeRosa and Reuben Parker to tie the game at five. That set the stage for Rubner's goal as he found the net and the Rebels hung on to win 6-5. Randy Zemlak played in goal for the Rebels and stopped 44 of the 49 shots Rossland fired his way. Davis stopped 41 of the 47 shots the Rebels put at him. Pee Wees take sixth The Castlegar Pee Wee Rep squad won two games, tied one and lost one at the seventh annual Thanksgiving Day Hockey Tournament in Spokane over the weekend. The Reps beat Wenatchee 7-0 in the first game, took Penticton 4-1 in the second game, lost 3-2 to Kimberley in the third contest and played Portland to a 0-0 draw in the final contest to end up in sixth place out of 12 teams competing in the tourney. The Portland game was very fast paced with heavy checking on both sides and lots of good shots on the Portland net. The Portland goalie saved shot after shot by the Castle. gar players. Marcel Dusseault, the Castlegar goalie was hurt at 1:17 in the third period, but hung in there to the end. In game one of the tournament against Wenatchee, Mike Hunter had an unassisted goal in the first period In the second, Hunter passed to Fred Gienger for the second goal. Later in the period Gienger scored another goal, this time on a pass from Steven Brown. Hunter scored another goal — unassisted — at 16:54 and then went on at 5:51 to score another on a pass from Pat Biln. The combination of Biln to Hunter duplicated the goal at 10:59 of the third. Hunter passed to Vince An tignani for the final goal of the game. Dusseault got the shutout in the 7-0 vietory. Game two was against Penticton. The whole game was fast-paced with lots of end-to-end play. At the end of the first period, the score was still 0-0. But in the second period Mark Carlson, on a pass from Leslie Stoochnoff, shot from the point and put one in the net to give Castlegar a 10 lead. A play by Carlson to Hunter, to Pat Biln gave Castlegar their second goal. Hunter, after much frenzied play in the Castlegar end, took the puck and skated the length of the ice to pop it in the net at 1:04 of the third. The team continued to work together and a pass from Mark Per. rier to Rick Fauth gave Castlegar their last goal of the game. Penticton got their first and only goal at 8:21 of the third. Coach Fauth credited good team play for the 4-1 win. Game three against Kimberley be gan with a roughing penalty to Vince Antignani at 13:30. At 11:31, Kim- berley got their first goal after much action in Castlegar's end. Castlegar answered the goal at 6:32 when a pass from Fred Gienger to Hunter connected. The period ended in a 1-1 tie, after several shots by Castlegar on the Kimberley -net. In period two, Kimberley got their second goal after good team play and repeated shots on the Castlegar net Again, Castlegar answered with good team work at 5:34, A pass went from Pat Biln to Mike Hunter and the score was again tied. place After repeated shots on the Castlegar net and much scrambling by the Castlegar side, Kimberley scored the winning goal at 3:00 of the third period to take the game 3-2. “Throughout the tournament all the boys concentrated on their game plan — working as a team, taking their man, and avoiding needless penalties,” said assistant ceach, Shawn Biln, and head coach, May. nard Fauth. “The boys knew the plan and they followed it through, and if they keep on working like they have should have a really good year.” Atom Reps place 4th in tourney The Castlegar Atom Reps finished fourth out of nine teams at a Thanks- giving hockey tournament in Spo- kane over the weekend. The Atom charges won three games and lost one in round-robin play. The first game was a 2-1 loss to Kelowna. Castlegar then went on to beat Fernie 11-1, Portland 5-0 and Spo- kane 7-0 before losing 6-2 to Beaver Valley in the consolation round. Castlegar netminders Mike Kooz- netsoff and Randy Ondrik allowed only three goals in the four round robin games. Castlegar's 3-1 record earned them the berth in the finals against Beaver Valley to determine third place in the tournament Beaver Valley dominated the open- ing period and they scored first at 7:14. Castlegar fell behind 2-0 before the end of the first period and after missing some scoring chances early in the second period, found them selves trailing 3-0. The lead was cut to 3-1 at 15:22 of period two and with fans looking for a third-period comeback. Castlegar took to the offense in the final frame. But a stubborn Beaver Valley de- fence stymied the Castlegar attack and a potent Beaver Valley offence pumped in three more goals en route to the victory and third place. Castlegar goal-scorers through the five games included David Pucci, Darren Belanger, Randy Ondrik, Darren Pottle, Craig Swanson, Ted- dy Hunter, Brad Brown, Billy Phillips and Grant Mosby Notching assists were Ondrik, Kent Fauth, Pottle, Swanson, Hun ter, Shawn Horcoff, Kooznetsoff, Phillips and Mosby Winger Craig Hawkins was a steady playmaker and Jeremy Ross contributed another solid perfor. mance on defence.
