Ready for Round 2

ENG

With the Miami supporters on their feet and the Bemidji net empty, Tommy Wingels poke-checks the puck away from a Bemidj defender at the blue line and is off to the races, streaking up the left side and wristing the puck into the open hoop to seal the deal for the RedHawks.

Two Down, One (?) to Go

Miami leads 3-1 after two periods. Bemidji definitely has the skill and moxie to come back. Feel free to insert a generic Cinderella reference here.

Fast and Furious

We’ve now had three goals in a 2:21 span as Miami regains its two goal lead. Carter Camper’s shot from the point is stopped by Dalton, but the rebound is swatted at by Bill Loupee. The puck goes off the shaft of Loupee’s stick, and banks off of Dalton’s pads. 3-1 RedHawks.

And Just Like That…

Bemidji comes back with a power play goal of its own just 50seconds later. Matt Francis finds Matt Reed at the post, and he skates around Cody Reicard and finds the back of the net.

2-0 RedHawks

Miami plays a 2-on-1 to perfection with Tommy Wingels breaking down the left side and putting a beautiful cross-crease pass to Alden Hirschfield, who redirects the puck past dalton. Time of the goal: 8:35.

First Blood, Part I

Miami gets the first goal of the tournament at 3:56 of the second period. On the power play, Tommy Wingel’s shot from the top of the face off circle beats Matt Dalton short side, over his stick shoulder. Gary Steffes set a nice screen in front.

One in the Books

After a scoreless first period, shots are 12 for each side, but Bemidji goaltender Matt Dalton has had to make some very good saves to keep Miami off the board. Back with second period action in 15 minutes.
