American Conference Wins Rbk Hockey All-Star Game 6-3
January 18, 2007 - ECHL (ECHL) News Release
BOISE, Idaho - The ECHL showcased its best players during the 2007 Rbk
All-Star Game at the host Idaho Steelheads' Qwest Arena Wednesday night
before 4,371 fans.
The Game, highlighted by great goaltending, offense and speed saw the
American Conference win 6-3 over the National Conference.
The American Conference tallied the first point of the game on Mike
McKenna (Las Vegas) at 4:26 when Brad
Schell (Gwinnett) scored after teammate Ryan
Lang (Augusta) put the puck in front of the net. Kevin
Baker (Texas) also recorded a helper.
The tying goal drew a roar from the crowd when hometown favorite Derek
Nesbitt faked a shot on goalie and game MVP Adam
Berkhoel, and then scored on a backhander. Troy
Bodie (Stockton) and Nathan Marks (Stockton) each recorded an assist.
The American Conference scored all three goals against netminder Devan
Dubnyk (Stockton) in the middle frame, beginning with Kevin
Baker's (Texas) tap in at 1:30. The fifth goal of the game came from
Ken
Magowan (Toledo) after he skated the puck in, took a shot on Dubnyk,
who made the save, but then Magowan managed to dig it out of the goalie's
pads and tucked it behind the sprawled-out goalie at 8:55. Colton
Fretter (Gwinnett) tallied at 16:44 on a rebound, after Dubnyk had gone
down on his knees to stop the original shot and was caught out of position.
The National Conference mounted a comeback in the third period. Last
year's All-Star MVP Luke
Curtin (Fresno) made a nice maneuver, beating out a defenseman, and
scored five hole on goalie Ryan
MacDonald (Fresno). Beau
Geisler (Stockton) got the assist at 4:12. The goal gave the National
team a boost, and Greg
Rallo (Idaho) took the puck into the corner, passed it into the slot
and to a wide open Julian
Talbot (Alaska) who notched his team's third goal of the evening just a
couple minutes later. But that was all the National Conference could do,
as the Americans sealed the game on a one timer from John
Laliberte (Trenton) who scored stick side over MacDonald's shoulder
from the right face off circle and on an empty-netter from Jamie
Tardif (Toledo) at 19:01.
