In Brief

· 2/25: Fury Storm Into Town

The Beacons jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead after one period of play. Aaron Brand (24) and Chris Slater (6) both tallied goals. Jeff Goldie (1) and Josh Tataryn (13,14) added the assists on the goals. The Fury stormed back as they tallied a goal in the second period and one in the third to tie the game. The Beacons would get the lead back when at 12:05 of the third; Rico Fatticci (3) fired a shot by Muskegon goaltender, Clayton Pool. Assisting on the play was Trevor Edwards (18) and Gabriel Proulx (19). The Fury would manage to score with 34 seconds left in the third as they pulled their goaltender to gain the extra man advantage, thus forcing the shootout. Stu Dunn made the saves when he needed to as the Fury could only muster one goal in the shootout, while Josh Tataryn, scored again making his shootout total six for 10, good for a 60% mark on the season. Jeff Goldie also tallied a shootout goal to give the Beacons the victory.

· 2/26: Beacons Win Again In a Shootout

The Beacons played over 20 minutes shorthanded after all was said and done after three periods of play. However, they managed to get a win despite the efforts of the Flint Power-play. Flint in total had 12 power plays but only tallied three goals. The Beacons never gave up and actually ended regulation in a tie at three with the Generals. Scoring for the Beacons were, Jeff Goldie who had two goals (1,2) his first and second as a Beacon and Rico Fatticci (4) his second goal in as many days. Aaron Brand assisted on all three goals (40,41,42) and Shayne Tomlinson (11), Kyle Sheen (1) and Joey Sewell (22) each had one assist. In the shootout Stu Dunn made five saves on five shots to steal the game from the Generals. It was Andrew McPherson's laser from the slot that won the game for the Beacons in the pivotal division match up with playoff implications.
