KOOTENAI/PUGET SOUND, SATURDAY
Since this is much too long to put into the daily post, here's what I have for the game log for Puget Sound's 4-3 win over the Kootenai Colts.
[Edit Sun ~1:01p -- Names on the goals for the Colts have been inserted, though I can't link to the Sun article because it doesn't appear to be online, just in print. According to it, Puget Sound outshot Kootenai 40-27, and Iggy stopped 24. Names of the opposing players were corroborated to their team's website, and goal numbers were built off of Friday night's boxscore and the downloadable stats at the NorPac site.]

END OF PERIOD
Kootenai able to break up most of the Puget Sound opportunities on the rush, either by poking away the puck or jsut managing to slow down the Tomahawk skaters. Puget Sound able to get some opportunities in the attacking zone, but Kootenai backchecking game is coming through. I don't think Iggy had a chance on the tying goal. Kootenai able to kill off 1:40 of being two skaters down.

###17:52 Wiegers penalty for roughing
***17:38 Kootenai slap shot from right point for Casey Kovatch (Kyle Palmblad, Zach Wartenbe) goes in high to glove side (PS 3-2)
###16:11 Truex whistled
###15:47 Miller and Kootenai #25 to box for roughing...looks like Miller got a major because it's 4-on-4
14:51 icing, faceoff in Tomahawk end

1:49 shot high and wide by Kootenai
***1:05 another goal accompanied by a crazy scramble in front of the net...Maciej Michalik (Truex), shorthanded (PS 4-3)
###0:10.5 I think Michalik went to the box...still 5-on-5
IT'S A FINAL!!
Here's what I have for a scoring tally (augmented with Sun print article)...
1st period
none
2nd period
1, Puget Sound, Mike Truex 19 (Steve Shapley, Jay McFadden) 11:13
2, Kootenai, power play, Casey Kovatch 6 (Aaron Donat, Tyler Robertson) 12:03
3rd period
3, Puget Sound, Eric Winkleman 4 (Mike Truex, Mike Miller) 0:16
4, Puget Sound, Eric Winkleman 5 (Carl Horten, Mike Truex) 0:41
5, Kootenai, power play, Kovatch 7 (Kyle Palmblad, Zach Wartenbe), 2:12
6, Kootenai, Palmblad 24 (unassisted) 15:21
7, Puget Sound, shorthanded, Maciej Michalik 1 (Truex) 18:55
Usually taking penalties when you have the lead isn't a good thing, but this Tomahawk team is pretty good shorthanded. Sometimes (if you don't look up at the scoreboard or notice it's 5-on-4) you can barely even tell they're shorthanded because they manage to get the puck in the attacking zone so often while on the kill.
But it's a win on the back end of a back-to-back, and that's always good. Iggy was solid once again in net, and I think it's debatable he had a chance on any of the goals scored on him. The one he had the best chance on was when it was him and a skater coming back on defense against the Kootenai player who eventually scored the goal. Other than that, Iggy was once again rock solid in net.
Clutch goal by the Masher, his first goal as a Tomahawk. Good times.
