Rocky Mountain Rage News Release


Amarillo, Texas - Despite out-shooting the Amarillo Gorillas, 31-23, the Rocky Mountain Rage were shut-out, 2-0, at the Amarillo Civic Center. Gorillas goaltender Shawn Conschafter made 31 saves in the winning effort as the Rage fell to 3-7-2 on the season.

Amarillo's Bill Vandermeer, the younger brother of Rage captain Dan Vandermeer opened the scoring at 3:13 of the opening period to give the Gorillas a 1-0 edge through the first 20 minutes.

The teams traded several power play chances in the second period with Amarillo finally breaking through for an insurance goal at 17:57 when Jason Chafe knocked in a rebound off a mad scramble in front of Rage netminder Trevor Cunning, who had made two previous stops during the flurry.

Rocky Mountain out-shot their hosts, 13-6, in the third period but could not solve Conschafter.

The Rage's eights points in the standings keep them in fourth place in the Northwest Division as the club suffered its second shutout in a row.
