Danbury Trashers News Release


MUSKEGON, MI--Robin Bouchard opened the Fury scoring at just 54 seconds into the opening period as Muskegon built up a 3-0 lead by the end of the second and held on to defeat the Danbury Trashers 4-2 on Saturday night at the L.C. Walker Arena to even the Colonial Cup Semifinals at 1-1.

Unlike Friday's game one, where the Fury didn't score until the final minute, Bouchard's 3rd of the playoffs gave Muskegon an early advantage. Todd Robinson later scored on a breakaway at the 16:08 mark to give Muskegon a 2-0 lead.

Rustyn Dolyny netted his 3rd playoff goal from Robinson and Dean Melanson at the 18:33 mark of the second as the Fury led 3-0 heading into the third period.

Danbury finally netted a goal at 3:00 of the third as Drew Omicioli ripped in his 7th of the playoffs from Mike Omicioli and Sergei Durdin. Drew added his 8th at the 7:54 mark from Mike and Shawn Collymore to close the gap to 3-2, but Jeff Nelson added an empty net goal with 9.7 seconds remaining to seal Muskegon's win.

Both teams combined for just 10 total penalty minutes, with only four against Danbury, who finished 1-2 on the power play, while the Fury were just 0-1 with the man advantage. Clayton Pool stopped 31 of 33 shots, while Daigle saved 32 of 35 in the defeat.

Game two will take place on Saturday night at 7:30pm from the L.C. Walker Arena. The Trashers will host games 3-5 of the series, with game three on Wednesday May 10th starting at 7:00pm, Friday May 12th and Saturday May 13th at 7:30pm.
