Full NAHL Robertson Cup Schedule

With the St. Louis Bandits clinching the final spot for the NAHL Robertson Cup Championship Tournament last night. This year's Final 5 is all set and the schedule is all set with the 4 Division Champions plus the Wenatchee Wild who are hosting this year's tournament up in Wenatchee, Washington. It will be a Round Robin Format where each team playing 4 games. Then after the Round Robin comes to an end, it will be a single game between the top 2 seeds for the League Championship this year.

Last year the Wenatchee Wild finished 2nd in the Round Robin when they reached the Robertson Cup Championship. Then in the Championship ended badly as the team lost in OT to the St. Louis Bandits as they won they 3rd Robertson Cup Championship in a row. The St. Louis Bandits are going to be the hunted this year as the Wild will be looking get some revenge on their home ice and win the teams first ever Championship.

Joining the Wenatchee Wild & St. Louis Bandits who are expected to be the favorites again this year. The Bismarck Bobcats are back in the Robertson Cup after winning the Central Division for the 2nd straight year, but after the Bobcats poor showing where they only win came against North Iowa in Double Overtime, the Bobcats will be looking to players like Jason Fabian and Ryan Jacobsen who are among the playoff leaders in goals. While Dominic Panetta who has 11 assists as the Bobcats sweepet both the Albert Lea Thunder & Owatonna Express in the Central Division Playoffs.

Traverse City is the newcomer this year as the North Stars have won their first Division Title since joining the league 4 years ago. However the question is do they have the defense to keep up as the North Stars came out of a very balanced Division. But the North was thought as a weak division, the team will look to goalie David Strandberg who's played every minute of every game in the playoffs with a GAA of 1.00 and 2 shutouts in the playoffs as the North Stars have beaten the Janesville Jets & the Motor City Metal Jackets who themselves shocked the Top Seeded Marquette Rangers in the 1st Round.

Fairbanks is being seen as this year's long shot as the Icedogs are being the designated West Division Team with the Wild being Tournament Hosts. They will be the long-shot and be the 5th & Lowest Seeded Team in this year's Robertson Cup Tournament.

A tough schedule awaits them out the shoot as the Icedogs will have the first day off then will play the Wenatchee Wild & St. Louis Bandits back-to-back on May 5 & 6. If Fairbanks is going to need a strong team game from everybody, especially from the top players like Matt Millis and Mark Pustin for the Icedogs to have a shot this year.

4/26 Scoreboard & Playoff Update

The National Hockey League saw 3 Game 6's last night as we saw the Boston Bruins & Chicago Blackhawks are moving on to the 2nd Round.While Montreal's Halak made an amazing 53 of 54 saves to force a Game 7 in Washington D.C. as the Capitals & Canadiens will be playing on Wednesday Night.

Nashville & Chicago had a crazy first period where the Blackhawks were leading 4-3 after 20 minutes. All 5 goals from the Blackhawks came from different players as Patrick Kane & Jonathan Towes both scoring pretty early, other players including Duncan Keith & Patrick Sharp also scored to make it 4-3 Blackhawks as the 1st period continued to go back-and-fourth as the 1st period ended 4-3.

Then the 2nd & 3rd periods turned into both teams getting desperate. The 2nd period saw the Blackhawks looking to pull away, but Predators goalie Patrick Rinne kept the Preds in the Game as the Blackhawks out-shot Nashville 16-4.

The 3rd period saw the tides turn as the Predators were looking to at least force OT or even comeback to win and save the Predators season as the SOG were 15-3 in favor of NSH, but Chicago Goalie Antti Nemi kept the Blackhawks up and John Madden put the game away with an empty net goal to win Game 6 & the Series 4-2.

As the Blackhawks put the Predators away in the first round away, it will be Chicago & Vancouver in the Western Conference Semifinals as we have the first confirmed 2nd Round Series. As for the other Western Conference Semifinals, it will be the San Jose Sharks against the winner of tonight's Game 7 between Phoenix & Detroit.

Boston ended what was a very physical series against the Buffalo Sabres as David Krejci scored twice in the game to win Game 6 to clinch the Series in 6 Games. With the Top Seeds in the East being in big trouble, it's defiantly possible that the Bruins could be getting home ice advantage for the 2nd Round with the 2nd seeded New Jersey Devils and 3rd seeded Buffalo Sabres out of the playoffs, also with the Capitals VS. Canadians going to Game 7 which will be played on Wednesday Night.

It was the first of 2 Game 7's in the AHL as the Chicago Wolves finally saw off the Milwaukee Admirals with a 2-1 win where the Wolves had to fight off after scoring twice in basically a minute-and-a-half. After the Wolves made it 2-0, Admirals goalie Mark Dekanich hang tough to keep the Admirals in the game despite getting out-shot 36-16 in the game.

Even though an Admirals goal by Marty Murray made it 2-1, the Admirals were able to hold on 2-1 to win the series in 7 games. It will be the Texas Stars VS. Chicago Wolves in the West Division Final with the Best-of-7 Series getting ready on Friday Night.

We made some history in the QMJHL as the St. John Seadogs ended the Series in 6 as the Seadogs used 3 & 4 goal periods to advance to the Championship Series against New Brunswick Arch rival Moncton Wildcats. This is the first time in QMJHL History that we are going to see an all Maritime Region Championship Series. No Schedule has been released yet for the QMJHL Final which will begin St. John later this week.

In the very tough NAHL South Division, the Bandits used a 4 goal 2nd period to end the Roadrunners season to win 5-0 as the Bandits will look to win the NAHL Robertson Cup for a 4th straight time.

The Tournament begins on May 4 as the Wenatchee Wild will be hosting this year and won the West Division as well. Bismarck, Traverse City & Fairbanks have also advanced to this year's Robertson Cup Championship.


Also tonight is a big night as we have Game 7 in Arizona as the Coyotes & Red Wings will determine who will play the San Jose Sharks. Also Rochester & Abbotsford have a Game 7 of their own with the winner playing the Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL North Division Final.

The first of the Major Junior Championships gets underway with the OHL. It's the top Conference Seeds as the Barrie Colts will take on the Windsor Spitfires for the OHL Championship & a Memorial Cup Spot.

Tornado can't take down Bandits in 3OT, 5th and deciding Game on Saturday

After the first muptlie OT game of the North American Hockey League Playoffs. The Texas Tornado were unable to finish off the Bandits in Frisco. Because of the two losses on Wednesday and Thursday Night, the 5th and deciding game will be taking place on Saturday Night to determine who will play the Topeka/Springfield Winner in the South Division Final.

Joe Kalisz was the hero of the night for St. Louis scoring the opening goal of the game and finishing off the Triple OT Marathon where the game went 113 minutes which was one of the longest games in the history of the Texas Tornado. Axel Boyer and Justin Jones were the goal scorers in the game for the Tornado.

As for Jack Prince who was the team's leading scorer has pretty much been M.I.A for the most part with just a single assist in this series and has been probably the biggest disappointments for the Tornado in the playoffs.


From the Texas Tornado Booster Club Website: www.texastornadobc.com

The Texas Tornado and St. Louis Bandits played 113:47 to decide tonight's game. That's how evenly matched the two were again tonight as well as the proceeding three games. Quite a contrast to the five Tornado VS. Bandits tilts leading up to the first round of the playoffs. Since then, neither team has had a much of an upper hand.

Tonight was another low scoring game. St. Louis picked up a goal early in the first by Kalisz that quieted the sparse crowd of a few hundred. Five Penalties were called but resulted in no scoring.

The Bandits Ryan Belonger scored in the 2nd followed 30 seconds later by Alex Boyer goal (Einersen) to make it 2-1 Bandits. Another Skirmish resulted in the only penalties of the period all coming at 16:53 and mostly off-setting.

Justin Jones goal tied the game (from Rostenkowski and Howard) which really brought the fans into the game. Texas picked up one two minute minor penalty and the Bandits took the two neither resulted in scoring but, the period ended only after repeated heart stopping rushes and miraculous saves. Hockey just doesn't get any more exciting then playoff action with so much on the line. With the horn sounded the end of regulaton play still tied, many in the stands were just learning in the playoffs, there is no 5 minute 4 on 4 and then a shootout to decide the match. No, full twenty minute periods of sudden death. Clean the ice and start all over for as long as it takes to get a puck in the net.

The tension of knowing just one slip up could end the Bandits season or force a game 5 in St. Louis where no Tornado fan or player wants round one to be decided. Every pass, every shot, every rebound could be it. Watching is maddening. Playing must be much worse.

And so it went for twenty minutes and nothing. Clean the ice and do it again, nothing. Clean the ice and do it again for the 3rd overtime. Someone is going to get the goal, but who will it be? Will it be the Tornado or the Bandits? Thirteen minutes in bing, bang, boom, the pucks trickles past Dan Sullivan and it's all over. The Bandits live to play game 5 and they mob Joe Kalisz for his second goal of the night while Texas is stunned and they slowly make their way to the locker room.

101 shots in one game. Dan faced 54 shots and stopped all but 3. At the other end, Tyler Bruggeman had faced 47 shots and stopped 45. Both had played just incredible games. All the players had played incredible game! Someone had to win - eventually - the Tornado hoped it would have been.

The Series is now tied at 2-2. The final game to decide which team moves on round two will be played in St. Louis this Saturday.

Bruggeman beats Sullivan in Goaltenders duo, Cut Series lead to 2-1

Tyler Bruggeman and Dan Sullivan put on a show Wednesday Night as the two goalies stopped a combined 48 of 49 shots combined in the game, and gave both teams a chance to win the game in Frisco last night. However, an unassisted goal by Cody Ganchar early in the 2nd period that scored the only goal of the game to help the Bandits stay alive in the playoffs and force a game 4 coming tonight as the Bandits will look to force a game 5 while the Tornado will be looking to knockout the 3 time Defending Robertson Cup Champions from the playoffs.

Game 4 will be played tonight over in Frisco, while a possible 5th and deciding game in the series would be back in Missouri coming up on Saturday Night.

From the Texas Tornado Booster Club Website: www.texastornadobc.com

The St. Louis Bandits dashed hopes of a Texas sweep in their best-of-5 round one battle. Judging by the first two games in Chesterfield where the Tornado won by close margins, a third win on Frisco Ice was conceivable. Thoughts that the three time NAHL defending champions would crumble to Texas without a big fight was not realistic as proven on Wednesday with their 1-0 win.

Both teams came out determined and got to work from the drop of the puck. perhaps the Bandits looked a little stronger early on since their backs were against the wall - if they lose the season is over. The Tornado were gunning for a win and an advancement to the NAHL Southern Division Finals.

This game was all-business. No Bravado. Don't make mistakes, play defense and stay out of the box. And they did. The hits were hard but measured. Positional play was excellent. Both goalies were sharp.

The first saw Texas out-shooting the Bandits 6-3 but no goals despite a brief 5-on-3 while the Bandits served the only 2 penalties of the period.

Cody Ganchar beat Dan Sullivan at 2:29 into the 2nd period with an unassisted goal which turned out to be the only goal of the game and of course the game winner. Texas was called for two penalties in the 2nd and they were only Tornado Penalties of the game. Both teams picked up 11 shots on goal as well.

The third was more back and fourth careful play with the Tornado forcing the pressure more and more. Great action but tense to watch. As time was closing in the Bandits Ryan Stoffer was called at 17:40 for tripping (the lone penalty of the period) and giving Tornado fans hope that the team could tie it up. Tony pulled Sullivan with 1:08 left for the man advantage but Bruggeman stoned the Tornado efforts and earned the win.

For the Bandits this game was win or die. For the Tornado, there was tomorrow. Anytime you play the Bandits for sixty minutes and you are in every second, you have played a really good game. The Team did and it was a great contest.

Thursday night is a must win for the Tornado to end the series, or they will have to go to St. Louis for a 5th and deciding game in St. Louis and that would be such a hard task.

Texas out-shot the Bandits 27 to 22. Picked up just 2 penalties but no goals and were 0-4 on the powerplay. Dan Sullivan played 58:52 of the 60 minute game stopping 21 of 22 shots. Finally Jack Prince was credited with 7 shots which was the most of any player in the game.

Texas pulls off sweep in St. Louis, Tornado Lead Series 2-0

Just one night after coming back from a 2-0 deficit to win Game 1. The Tornado pull off another big upset in St. Louis as the Tornado are on the verge of knocking out the 3 time Robertson Cup Champions out of the playoffs and advancing to the South Division Final. For the 2nd straight game, James Howard and Shane Sooth have another huge game as the Tornado had a huge 2nd period to help make the difference to stun the St. Louis Bandits over the weekend.

The Team leading scorer from the Regular Season Jack Prince put the game with an empty netter for his 1st goal of the playoffs to put the game away to make it a 3-1 final. The Bandits defense hasn't been lighted up that much, but the goals they have given up have been critical as St. Louis is now one loss away from elimination.

From the Texas Tornado Booster Club Website: www.texastornadobc.com

The game's first stanza saw the Tornado kill off three Bandits power plays but neither team was able to find the back of the net. Officially the SOG for the first period were 11-2 in favor of St. Louis. The Tornado defense kept the Bandits on the perimeter so despite the lopsided SOG count Dan Sullivan had clear looks at most shots from the outside and easily turned them aside.

The best scoring chance of the period came when the Tornado on the penalty kill, as the Bandits were passing the puck across the ice at the point where Justin Jones got his stick in the passing lane and picked it off. He flew down the middle of the ice on the short handed breakaway and made a move to the back hand but a sprawling Groh was able to make the stop against the far post.

The Bandits were 0 for 3 on the power play while the Tornado didn't have a power play opportunity.

The Tornado were finally able to break through in the 2nd period on the power play courtesy of a Kitto two handed slash below the Tornado goal line in retaliation for a check along the end boards.

Rock Einersen stopped a clearing attempt at the far point and fed the puck down the boards to Ralfs Freibergs at the half wall. James Howard had crept down from the near point to the left circle and Freibergs saucered a pass through the crease to a wide open Howard for the tally at 8:16 mark of the 1st period.

The Tornado would score again just 3 minutes when Tyler Rostenkowski pass the puck from the blue line to Jones in the left circle for a one timer. Groh made the stick save but the rebound found its way right into Shane Sooth's wheelhouse and cranked a shot high glove side to make it 2-0 Texas.

SOG were even at 11. The Tornado converted 1 of 2 power play opportunities while the Bandits were 0 for 1.

The third period was fairly even played. St. Louis was finally able to notch a goal while on a 5 on 3 power play at 12:41 of the period. Sheehan fired a slapper from the point and Sullivan made the initial save, but Olszewski was all alone just to the left of the crease and jammed home the puck to pull the Bandits within one.

With time winding down St. Louis pulled Groh and with the extra attacker a shot came through traffic, Sullivan made the save and converted the puck. A Bandits player punched the puck loose from under Sullivan's glove and across the goal line but the referee had blown the whistle waving off the goal. On the ensuing faceoff the puck was redirected into the far corner where Jack Prince grabbed it and sent it the length of the ice into the empty net to restore the two goal lead.

SOG were 9-7 in favor of the Bandits and the Bandits were 1 for 2 on the power play while the Tornado were denied on their only opportunity.

Dan Sullivan made 36 saves of 37 shots on the evening to pick up the win and the first star of the game. For the series Sullivan has turned aside 76 of 79 shots on goal. Shane Sooth netted the game winner and picked up the 2nd star of the game. James Howard notched a goal and an assist to go along his two goal performance in game one to to give him four points in the series.

The win puts the Texas up 2 games to none in the best of five series and sends the action back to Frisco for games at 7:00 PM on Wednesday April 7th and Thursday April 8th if necessary.

Texas Tornado Stun Bandits to take Series Opener

The Texas Tornado looked like huge underdogs as the series began as the team returned to the playoffs against the St. Louis Bandits as the 3 time champions were looking to pull off a historic 4 peat in the North American Hockey League.

However, despite just getting off 13 shots in the game and a great showing by Tornado goalie by Dan Sullivan as he made 40 saves to stifle the St. Louis Bandits.

The Tornado will be looking to make this an interesting series and possibly pull off a huge upset in the North American Hockey League South Division Semifinal Series and advance to play either the Springfield Jr. Blues or the Topeka Roadrunners to advance to the South Division Championship and a shot at making the NAHL Robertson Cup Tournament for the first time since 2006.

From the Texas Tornado Booster Club Website: www.texastornadobc.com

From Chesterfield, Missouri: In the opening game of the first round series, the Tornado saw the Bandits jump out to a 2 goal lead.

On the first, the Tornado turned the puck over deep in their own zone, Smith threw the puck at the net but it was blocked out front of the Tornado Defensemen. Unfortunately the puck went straight to Belonger just below the left faceoff circle dot and he buried a one timer.

The 2nd goal was almost a mirror image of the first. Sheehan fired a shot from the high slot that Dan Sullivan turned aside and the rebound found the tape of Smith again just below the left faceoff circle for another one timer.

Despite getting down early, Texas did not roll over and played well in the period. They pulled back within one goal at the 15:19 mark of the 1st period with a power play goal. The Tornado moved the puck well on the power play. Ralfs Freibergs moved the puck from the far point to Shane Sooth on the blue line. Sooth found James Howard in the nearside circle when he launched an absolute rocket past Bruggeman.

Shots on Goal for the first period were 11-6 in favor of the St. Louis Bandits. The Tornado were 1 for 2 on the power play while St. Louis was 0 for 1.

The Tornado were able to knot the score at two early in the 2nd after killing off 44 seconds of Bandits power play carried over from the first. The Bandits broke into the zone on a long outlet pass from Bruggeman to Quackenbush on the near boards at the Tornado blue line, but the Tornado defense managed to strip the puck and Joe Adams picked it up and carried it back down the far boards into the offensive zone. From the half-wall he bumped the puck to Nick Taurence cutting across the ice in the high slot. Taurence settled the puck, delayed for Bruggeman to bite then slid the puck under the blocker at 3:27 mark.

The Tornado then put themselves in a deep hole when Freibergs was called for holding at the same time as the team was changing and was hit a too many men penalty to put the Bandits on a 5 on 3 power play. Dan Sullivan made a couple of huge saves from point blank range to keep the Bandits off the board. Just as it looked like they were about to kill off the 5 on 3, Adams was whistled for a cross check meaning the penalty kill had another two minutes of work to do, and work they did as they killed off the two man advantage again.

The Tornado took the lead for the first time on the evening with three seconds left in the 2nd period on Howard's 2nd goal with the assists going to Sooth and Adams.

Neither team was able to score in the third period allowing Howard's game winning goal to stand up as the game winner. Official SOG for the third period was 10-3 in favor of the Bandits.

Rather then rolling over after falling behind by two early, the Tornado continued to play and responded with three unanswered goals to take game 1 of the series. Howard had two goals on the night and with both Sooth and Adams picking up two assists apiece. Sullivan stopped 31 of the 33 shots he faced to pick up the game 1 win.

NAHL Divisional Semifinals: South & West Division

Unless something crazy happens, we could have the makings of a huge South Division Championship between the Topeka Roadrunners & St. Louis Bandits for a Robertson Cup Tournament Spot in Washington.

In the West Division assuming that the Wenatchee Wild pushes aside the Kenai River Brown Bears. The other West Division Semifinal between the Fairbanks Ice Dogs & the Alaska Avalanche should be for a Robertson Cup Title Spot to represent the West Division.
