SHOTS FROM THE POINT 08-09

THE WALL: Josh Tordjman stopped all 47 shots as San Antonio beat Peoria 2- 0 Sunday at the AT&T Center. It was his fourth shutout of the year, the sixth of his career and puts him just one shy of tying the franchise mark set by Travis Scott.

REBOUND WIN: The Rampage stepped up big in the 2-0 win against Peoria. It came after a disappointing loss to the Rivermen two nights before when Justin Fletcher scored the game winning goal with just 30.7 remaining in regu- lation. The loss was the second straight for San Antonio at home, which they hadn't done since 11/25 and 11/29, losing to Hamilton and Houston.

GOLDEN ROAD: San Antonio downed Rockford 4-2 last week at the Metro- Centre. The Rampage opened up a 3-0 lead before closing out their third straight road win, a season high.

TEXAS TWO STEP: When the Rampage lost 2-1 to Peoria last Friday, it was the first time San Antonio lost when allowing two goals or less since dropping a 2-1 decision to Chicago on 12/18. The Rampage are 12-3-0-1 when holding the opposition to two goals or less for the year.

ROCKY ROAD: Including today, the Rampage play four of their next six games at the AT&T Center where they are 10-3-0-0 since December. Then on January 31st they hit the road for a month-long journey. With the rodeo taking over the AT&T Center, San Antonio will play 13 games and spend 26 days on the road.
