010while since I've done play byplay I've just been doing commentary for Mike this season but I'm excited to be back as Greenfield dumps the puck trying to exit Their Own Zone not able to and the Spartans intercept these two teams met only five days ago as an open Ice hit is laid and Joey Maza [Applause] [Music] scores a snipe from the Spartans less than a minute in and they have gained the one goal lead what a sequence to start this one as I was saying these two teams met only five days ago and Green Field won two to one this is a big night for the Spartans Greenfield is 11 six and one Spartans 97 and one this game certainly has ties into playoff hopes for next week and Spartans would certainly like to come
011away with a win Greenfield successfully dumps the puck down the ice in on Reed who will opt to cover what a play from the Spartans to start an open Ice hit I'm not even sure who that was on but great speed top Corner as one comes in on Reed and he pads it aside fight for the puck along the boards and the Spartans RI it around the boards down the ice it's tipped [Music] as they announce Baker on the assist there open Ice shot goes in on the Green Field goenda still only two minutes into this one Spartans with the one- nothing lead off of a joey Maza snipe and the faceof in Greenfield's [Music] Zone chipped up the boards by greenfield grao to collect off the boards not able to find a Spartan here's
012leage leage Maneuvers around a couple Green Field players cross ice pass by greenfield now it's mraa back to Gro and leage springs Erikson Erikson with speed and he gets hooked out in front Spartans will be on the power play Baker to take the face off and Greenfield successfully gets it down down the other way Erikson who scored the game-winning goal in overtime over Long Meadow just yesterday that game started at 3M I wasn't there but I heard it was a bar burner Mazo with the shot that's blocked out in front Erikson back hands it be behind the net Maza Reed at the point high low game from the Spartans taken down and taken advantage of still a minute to go on the power play for the Spartans a Miss pass in their own end and
013the shot comes in on Reed not sure if that one saw him might have hit the side of the net nonetheless Spartans able to break up the ice here's Erikson with speed along the left wing now behind the net it's Rustico now leage Rustico trying to send it in the middle there not able to get that pass out in front Erikson with the shot rtier and save by greenfield kley danced around Greenfield got the pass out in front but no Spartans were there leage out in front it is loose and the Spartans not able to capitalize as the net comes off good movement there from the Spartans leage knew he had space as Dan Reed says put the puck on net and good things will happen chaos out in front still a one-goal lead for
014the Spartans 8 seconds left to go on the power play shots in favor of the Spartans four nothing easy glove by the Greenfield goal tender [Music] raso keeps it in at the point sends the shot in believe that got in on the Green Field [Music] again uh what makes this group of seniors so special is that Dan Reed has coached them with his son Keller who is a junior um from when they were little in um at their youngest age and they've grown up being coached under Reed as the puck comes in on Owen Reed Outlets it Maza pass was behind him and it goes into the bench [Music] face off at Center [Music] ice up the Ace from Greenfield behind the red line but it was tipped back out into the neutral zone along
015the boards good play by mraa to break up the Green [Applause] Wave and the pass two far out in front for Erikson that'll be another icing Puck goes off of a Greenfield player skate and the Spartans find it to get it out of their Zone Greenfield re-enters The Zone shot in on Reed sticks safe looking for grao in the middle was Roman not able to get there roer wraps around for cley chips off the boards but Greenfield is there along the cornerboards up to celey and he shot in by Roman great pass by keley as Roman only had one Greenfield defenseman on him able get able to get the shot off and now Greenfield exits Their Own Zone up to a strong hit by Reed kept in just barely by greenfield defenseman Keller Reed tried
016to glove it down not able to control Greenfield at the point the shot comes in not able to get on Reed and another one Reed makes the stop Spartans finally able to get it out it's a foot race with Maza But ultimately it will be called icing there's still one more game left before the western Mass playoffs and state playoffs coming our way but on Saturday the Spartans will face Hopedale Junior and Senior High School at 6 PM Outlet pass goes off a skate Spartans to regroup In Their Own Zone Brewster with speed gets the puck in [Music] deep leage out in front goenda wasn't prepared for that one still makes a stop with the pad menra in a puck battle along the boards Greenfield comes away with it taken down was Greenfield ref's arms
017stay down leage with speed up the left wing and a good stick play by greenfield out in front by Brewster here's Rustico shot went off of a stick back out in front Brewster sends it down behind the net Gro takes the hit to make the play Spartan goes down refs are really letting a play here bringing Erikson into the offensive zone not able to stay on his skates and here comes Greenfield three on two up the ice comes in on Reed wraparound attempt out in front and it goes to Erikson 211 Erikson and kley Erikson says the pass to keley not able to get a stick on it and the Green Field Green Wave gets it out more numbers greenfields way shot not on Reed back again two on2 Spartans and Green Field that one
018broken up as well good takeaway from Kevin Baker at the Blue Line keeps the puck in kley had a shot blocked out in front and the Spartans with a good hit Come Away with it at the point it's Reed across the ice and the shot from Shaw not able to get in on net Baker to Shaw up the left wing along the corner boards Baker out in front and now it's Gro with the shot save by greenfield and a scrum out in front what a sequence there from both teams odd man rushes up and down the ice they went at Olympia Ice Center nothing to come from it and now it looks like it'll be a four on four here matching roughing penalties penalties with will offset each other so it'll stay five on five
019with Maza in the Box for the Spartans Spartans still hold the shot Advantage seven to three just under five minutes left here to go in this one and the Greenfield crowd here tonight has been very vocal so far [Music] in fact the referee is trying to throw a Greenfield parent out not sure if he has the absolute power to do that I guess they're gone I haven't seen much of this since the tournament days where some parents out in eastern Mass would be really rowdy but I mean way to ruin it for your kids Greenfield just had their senior night when the Spartans visited them last Saturday and they were honored here tonight along with the Spartan seniors frankly it's embarrassing [Music] as we comically wait for the parents to leave the premises [Music] I
020guess we're ready to resume Spartans Come Away With It shot from leage offline grao leage was looking for the tip out in front Puck did not get there Greenfield up the ice [Music] back behind their own net is Greenfield looking to Spring a player up the left wing broken up by the Spartans and a good back check there from kley but Greenfield still has it Puck is taken off Greenfield stick and I believe the whistle here is just because the net was knocked off [Music] face off in the Spartan Zone Zone and Roman comes away with it up the ice but not out green field shot Reed not able to cover the rebound was sitting in the crease for a quick second for it went to the corner and now the Spartans have icing call
021345 left here to go in the first period which has now seemed like a long one because of the antics of a couple of Greenfield parents Spartans out in front and sent into the neutral zone Green Field with speed once again a good back check good effort from Roman ruso enters the offensive zone not able to stay with it Greenfield with speed over the blue line and Spartans break it up [Music] referee is not putting up with any arguments in this one would have been a two on one two on two opportunity for the Spartans breaking up the ice nonetheless Shaw is going to head to the box and the Spartans are going on the penalty kill [Applause] [Music] Puck is kept in by greenfield Greenfield behind the net another wraparound attempt and Reed Stands
022Tall down the ice it's a foot race Kevin Baker no surprise the first one there in the corner out in front was looking for Erikson and now Green Field up the left wing poked Away by the Spartans still not out and now Baker again being sprung up into the offensive zone has a green field wave to beat the shot and scores he sets up Bren Erikson and the Spartans have a two nothing lead somehow Greenfield was not able to track the Speedy Braden Erikson coming along the right side of Baker simple Passover the one time and that's a short-handed goal for Braden Erikson those two were tied in goals believe with nine heading into this one and Erikson has taken the lead [Music] what a momentum booster for the Spartans still 117 left to kill
023on this penalty can't let your guard down now as we've seen before Spartans have scored a shorty and then gotten scored on but that's a big one Green Field up the ice poked Away by the Spartans but it's sent out in front one time shot from Greenfield didn't have a lot on it Spartans haven't escaped yet across the ice and out of the Zone back in and Reed plays the body Greenfield in the corner looking for the pass out in front to Spartan sticks covered the lane for Green Field and a miss pass as the Spartans Maza take advantage and now it's a full ice clear for the Spartans 10 seconds here to go on the ER excuse me the shaw penalty Green Field out in front grao got a stick on it another Green
024Field forward was across the ice and could have had a tap in goal and now Greenfield is heading to the Box a hold interesting play there thanks to the efforts from grao and Reed on that it is still a two- gooal lead for the Spartans here minute 7 Seconds here to go in the first period the faceof in the Spartans offensive zone Jack [Music] ruso Greenfield chips it up the ice Brewster as [Music] page leage behind the net wraps it around to Brewster Erikson sends a shot in gloved by greenfield [Music] kley sends the shot out in front once again a stop made by greenfield shots now in favor of the Spartans 10 to [Music] five Erikson over to Brewster Brewster shot another St by greenfield 32 and half seconds here to go in this
025first [Music] frame leage over to Erikson Erikson's shot blocked squeaked through nearing the crease didn't get there and Green Field clears 20 seconds here to go in the period up the ice is Erikson with speed right wing and shot believe the Green Field goenda piece of that but it heads into the netting for a stoppage of play nine seconds left Spartans able to do able to complete about half of this power play second half will be starting with the second period and it's been a good power play so far if I say so myself they've gotten about five shots out of it and that'll end the first period a two nothing lead for the Spartans heading into the second goals from Joey Maza and bradden Erikson we'll be right back here with you on elcat
026e e e welcome back to the second period of East Long Meadow Spartan Taki against Greenfield on elcat Spartans have a two nothing lead over Green Field after one and lead in shots 12 to [Music] five Spartan will be on the power play to start this period they have 53 seconds left won the face off but not able to Corral Brewster behind his own net to regroup leage Brewster avoiding a hit Spartans not able to get into the offensive zone Brewster back to collect Le over to ER Ericson to Rustico ruso with kley spring to the net not able to find him bro out in front still near the crease out in front for Rustico and he scores leage with the setup and Rustico with the Finish it's a three- nothing Spartans lead chaos in
027front of the Green Field net similar to the Spartans performance in the first period overwhelming Green Field and their defense greenfields tried the wraparound attempt on Reed a couple of times I thought leage was going to there but instead he sets up Rustico to give the Spartans a three-goal lead here's Maza with speed up the right wing he's tripped up and there won't be a call Spartans and they score it's Kevin Baker once again chaos around the Green Field net and wow quickly very quickly into the second period it is a 4 nothing lead and Greenfield is going to change goenda I believe is calling a timeout here Dan Reed fired up on the bench for the Spartans a big lead here for the Spartans I mean that sequence was certainly just what the Spartans
028have excelled at so far in this one crowding the net overwhelming Green Field finding the holes in the defense and space on the ice Kevin Baker found the back of the net I'm still waiting for a senior goal here tonight if the Spartans keep pushing like this hopefully we'll see one it's been all the underclassman here contributing for the Spartans giving kudos to their senior goenda start to the period here for the Spartans but I'm sure Dan Reed was telling them don't take your foot off the gas pedal keep keep pushing you can't let loose and slow down against this green field [Music] team Maza out in front Greenfield able to clear two on two up the ice poked Away by Reed Maza tried to pick it up at Center ice now it's Greenfield in
029the [Music] corner up the ice it's Maza he's got Shaw on the left wing Maza over to Shaw and he scores Cody Shaw top shelf five nothing Spartans so I wasn't at the Green Field game but according to my dad who was there it was a very close game this has been the opposite and in the best way for the SPs this Spartans not all on the bench as kley as kley finally a senior goal Tommy gley makes it a six nothing lead for the Spartans I'm gonna lose my voice here this is so much fun keep them coming keep them coming I mean I can't do anything but [Music] laugh I mean they're still catching up on announcing the goals that was just funny because we had like seven players on the ice when
030the whistle was blown wow [Music] Brewster kept in by the Spartans or not they're gonna call it a delayed off side even though the goenda it was a penalty I [Music] believe I also now since I manifested a senior goal I would like to say a Carson leage goal for my mom that would be really nice speaking of leage lost control of the puck back in the Spartan Zone Erikson trying to shake off a Greenfield Defender and the Spartans will go back on the power play good speed from Owen Reed there to get to the bench [Music] despite starting the period two nothing with 12 shots the Spartans now have added four goals and have added four shots Baker with the draw tied up Maza with the puck Maza back to Baker and Greenfield able
031to get it out Reed was able to get the puck out of es skates and to Baker Baker lost at the Blue Line cam Den Erikson shot in on Green Field sticked away Shaw out muscles Greenfield able to get the puck down the ice I believe the Spartan set the tone for this one with their physical play there was that sequence in the first period where some Greenfield parents were calling for calls on the Spartans when they were just laying really clean physical hits Erikson dances around Green Field looked for the give and go with Maza not able to complete it shot attempt by the Spartans not able to get in on net Greenfield locates it and sends it down the ice 40 seconds left here to go on the Spartans power play once again
032in case you somehow missed it it is a 6 nothing lead for the Spartans and now both a Spartan Rustico and Greenfield are going to head to the Box chirping on their way there 10 minutes left here to go in this second period which has also felt like a lifetime again the sentiment still stands that the Spartans should not take their foot off the gas pedal but I'm sure we will be seeing more underclassman play in this one I'm sure Owen Reed obviously for senior night will stay in net but it'd be nice to see players that haven't had a lot of playing time Gro at the point to leage crosso over to Brewster and we are back to five on five Brewster with a shot saved by greenfield [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] shot in
033by the Spartans that was grao just wide leage picks the puck up behind the net mraa with a couple men on them Erikson was cross checked in the face and that'll be another Spartans power play Greenfield letting out their frustration dangerous play there and it's a minor head penalty as the ref said not crosschecking dangerous well we're back on the power play for the Spartans nine minutes left here to go in the second period Reed wraps it around for Shaw Shaw trying to dance around a Greenfield player not able to puck in MAA skates Spartans inadvertently ice the puck [Music] Erikson with all the time in the world skates into the offensive zone sent in I'm not sure how that deflected and right back out Brer up to leage and escapes but Manda collects mraa
034taking off the puck Greenfield does a good job out musling mraa and getting that puck out minute left to go here on this power play for the Spartans good pick up from Erikson in the neutral zone tow drag just wide Erikson gets it back in deep but Greenfield is there and it's sent in on Reed Camden Erikson up to Baker pass a little too hot for him to handle kley was looking to dump it in couldn't get there Green Field back the other way two Spartans overwhelming Greenfield Baker not able to Corral the pass and the puck goes into the bench 716 left here to go in the second period a four goal period for the East Long Meadow Spartans 16 seconds left here to go on this power play Roman up the right wing
035gets past his man now in the corner it's kley kley takes down a man Puck is sent out and kley will head to the Box almost a good thing that the whistle was blown there as Greenfield was having a man get out of the box as well and it could have been a two-on-one opportunity there for the Green Wave still not great for the Spartans as kley will send them to the Penalty [Music] kill shot by greenfield blocked great play by Brewster absorbing the shot block and getting the puck out of the zone grao sends the puck the length of the ice it's good to see this much effort from the Spartans still in this one as we can hear coach Dan Reed yelling get there to Cody Shaw and he did as I've said
036before I think the trio of Juniors Joey Maza Kevin Baker and Cody Shaw are really great on the penalty kill as forwards they just give their 100% And they forre they for check really well Spartan's intercept the pass from Greenfield's goenda gets by the Spartans sticked aside by Reed Greenfield with the shot glove sto by Reed his eighth and I believe ninth shots on goal and he's been perfect for all of them Owen Reed here he is Kevin Baker getting to the puck first knocked off Greenfield deflected by a Spartan I believe they have numbers out in front Green Field in on Reed he makes the stop thought the puck might have trickled behind him some scrums out in front and it looks like braso is heading to the Box along with a Greenfield player
037still 25 seconds left here to go on the Spartans penalty kill [Music] after sorting out the penalties on the play Spartans win the faceof and dump at the length of the ice Baker first yet again Erikson trying to pick the puck up not able to do so Green Field two on two gets around Reed trailing back behind the net tried to fake out Owen Reed Rustico with open Ice Rustico in the glove stopped by greenfield all of these penalties offsetting each other so it is five on five hockey 450 left two to go in this second period sport K was looking to shoot right off the face off his shot goes High over the crossbar Greenfield sloppily gets it out of the Zone Roman picks it up Roman still working along the boards kept in
038by Brewster over to Erikson the shot blocked Greenfield with numbers up the ice broken up by Camden Erikson Brewster with Rustico on his right Rustico takes the shot and Greenfield makes the stop leage with space wraparound Green Field once again Greenfield goal tenders made a few good stops in this last sequence of five minutes or so cross eyes pass Reed off balance didn't get a lot on that shot Puck is still loose Reed once again rer blocked out in front Reed third time blocked out in front another shot comes in nearing the crease still working on the Spartans and now the puck finally exits Green Field Zone and it will be icing shots are 22 22-9 in favor of the Spartans three and a half here to go in the second period Spartans working behind
039the net in on the Green Field [Music] corrected me Kevin Baker is a sophomore as I incorrectly labeled him as a junior shot from about the Blue Line went on Green Fields not able to completely collect the puck Greenfield pucks and skates at the point kicked out by the Spartans and out of the Zone Brewster gets it out and there's numbers two onone opportunity Maza and Erikson Maza tried the shot blocked Maza and an offside play by the Spartans 220 left here to go in this second period [Music] face off right outside Green Field Zone Puck will head to the corner boards kept in by Baker who gets it in deep Shaw to Baker Shaw looking to find Maza out in front pass didn't get there Spartan still able to keep it in along the
040boards not able to locate it was Maza and greenfields takes it out of Their Own Zone Erikson with a one-on-one against Green Field Puck finds Owen reads crease and he [Music] covers minute and a half left here to go in this very long period [Music] ruso with the face off Greenfield comes away grao whips it around the boards Greenfield keeps it in with a shot that didn't find Owen Reed Gro excuse me Brewster blocked it out in front rust to go with a big hit chaos in the neutral zone Green Field sented in deep Greenfield with a shot attempt still nearing the crease and it'll be leage that heads to the box for a slash with 47 seconds left here to go in this period [Music] mraa with the kick to get the puck out
041of danger zone with speed here comes Erikson with the pressure on Green Field mraa with the puck found Erikson inadvertently Erikson wasn't looking but that tipped in on net Green Field makes the stop mraa back hands it in behind their own net is Greenfield with 10 seconds left here to go in the second period into Erikson skates here's Braden Erikson with the shot believe that deflected off someone didn't find the net and that will end the second period for the east met Spartans in Green Field Green Wave Spartans with four goals in that period to extend their lead to six Spartans will be on the penalty kill for a minute 14 at the beginning of the third period but what a sequence of goals in a short short amount of time momentum is going crazy
042for the Spartans Dan Reed looks ecstatic as he's walking off the ice and what a fun one it's been here at Olympia Ice Center and we'll be back with you on elcat for the third period in a bit e e e [Music] and we are back here for the Third period of East Long met of Spartans hockey versus greenf field here on elcat it has been a fun one if you're an e long met of Spartans fan here tonight as the Spartans had a two-goal first period and a four goal second period within just the span of a couple of minutes the Spartans not going to jinx it but made this game kind of unreachable for Greenfield to come back kind of no jinxing here all right in the corner Spartans get to work Greenfield
043dances around to Spartan gets the shot in on Reed and he absorbs I don't know why the clock is running but but it is a Spartans penalty kill here to start the third period as ridas makes a stop once again and I I guess this is purposeful the clock is running green field shot and once again Reed makes the stop that should be about 14 once it updates on the scoreboard 14 stops for Reed in this one Greenfield as leage exits the Box Greenfield with a shot and for the fourth consecutive time Reed makes the stop and now it's coming to the referee's attention that the clock has been running for this entire time even while the play is dead not sure what the discussion is but the clock is still running oh in front
044of his own net was Keller Reed Spartans exit their Zone set back in by greenfield here's Erikson Reed and ruso up the left wing shuts and scores B out Jack Rustico what a shot that was a snipe and that is Jack Rustico second goal of the game just under the crossbar wow good Outlet there from the Spartans as well the spring ruso with plenty of time and space up the left wing 12 minutes and Counting left here to go in this one and the Spartans have extended their lead to seven shot comes in off the crossbar that time just a little bit offline good poke there from Brewster the laid off side for Greenfield Gro dumps it in Around the Net Greenfield out in front leage with the puck on his stick and leage scores
045I manifested this one once again that goal is for my mom Carson leage on his senior nights adds to the tally eight nothing Spartans now I think I have the power to say this game is officially Out Of Reach with the clock running and a gold lead special special night for these seniors surely most of them have got a point or two in this one now I believe the Spartans and I'm hearing from um my family in front of me as well are just being told to hold the Puck practice passing crisp passing movement I mean this is definitely a game unlike I've been a part of before with the clock running like this I'm not sure if this is of the decision of Greenfield or what it appears that minog is having their senior
046right after this so maybe that has something to do with it it has been a long game um but I mean yeah such an interesting game unique game that I've never been a part of with a sea of goals of contributors of that Greenfield parent that got thrown [Music] out but again it's just such a great night of celebration for these senior families as well I've grown up with them pretty much going to the rink for practices and games all of these years and you know seeing all of these seniors grow into the players that they've become has been special to watch as well and at the beginning of the game I kind of alluded to my time at elcat um being close to an end as Spartans get tripped up that was Shaw there
047and Spartan's not happy with that [Music] one but as I was saying with my brothers final year here with the Spartans my time at elcat will be coming to an end soon and I believe there were rumors that if the Spartans had lost this one they would be out of playoff contention and that's a hattick for Jack Rustico milestone wow that was from long range as well I mean I'm laughing with my family here because like the celebrating of goals now just kind of feels weird this late in the game I went to the Bruins game the Aras night against Montreal when they scored nine goals and the crowd was like we want 10 I want to hear that from the crowd tonight um but obviously Spartans will take Victory with this one here tonight
048and obviously nothing is concrete but hopefully this does secure the [Applause] Spartans Spartans spot in the western Mass playoffs as the Spartans have reached double digits here 10 Spartans goals and that one was scored by sophomore Timothy mcgillicuty and now this late it'll be a Spartans lineup of all underclassman we have Antonio calib who has had a solid season I've I believe he might have one or two goals I think he has a lot of potential I think he is a physical player and he knows how to properly use his size we have Sam Adams sophomore Sam Ferrero [Music] and and yeah yeah congratulations Timothy mcui I believe from the reaction of the crowd that was his first goal um again adding to how many special moments there have been in this game [Music] as
049a Greenfield player will head to the box for an elbow as I've been taking too long to say um hopefully the Spartans have secured a spot in the western Mass playoffs as I look forward to every year um which I will definitely be here for and I will be so excited um to once again call an electric western Mass game playoff game hopefully with Mike next week or so um yeah I look forward to the western Mass playoffs every year last year if you recall the Spartans lost in dramatic fashion in the semifinals believe it was to West Springfield it was a buzzer beater goal devastating for the Spartans I I was Shell Shocked like speechless during that moment we went back and watched the tape on elette and just beat the clock and that
050was heartbreaking for you know those seniors in that group but Spartans have a chance to redeem themselves here beating Green [Music] Field the Spartans beating Greenfield in this fashion is obious vious ly huge in terms of the playoffs as that one rings off the crossbar and it's a goal unsure if that snuck past Reed Spartans fans are saying it's a no goal not sure I thought I heard the ding from the crossbar but nonetheless if it did beat Reed what a shot to beat him and obviously that's what's that's what it's going to take to beat Reed who's had in this last half of the Season Reed has played very well in my [Music] opinion uh but even farther back if you recall the Spartans lost to Long Meadow in the western Mass finals a
051couple of years ago during my first season on elcat um when I was a senior here at elhs and and that was a heartbreaking one as well I called it with Devon dobeck and it was a 4 nothing loss to our Rivals which sucked but one last ride with the Spartans for me on elcat and yeah they will give that goal to Greenfield 10 to one score here as leage passes by behind him and green fields is going to go back to the box I do find it very interesting that no matter what penalty Greenfield has got all game and no matter how much the score has been or how how big the lead Spartans have had they're they're complaining calib with the puck on his stick floater into the air not on net Erikson
052with the shot snuck past Greenfield go golender but not in the back of the net Erikson dances around Green Field three groups into the neutral zone and on Green Field once again with 40 or so seconds left here to go in this game crazy crazy game a 10 to1 score here at Olympia Ice Center against Greenfield to we just lost to in a two to one score five days ago big hit shot offline by the Spartans this is a big one and the regular season finale will be on Saturday night but I am looking forward to hopefully calling the first game of the western Mass playoffs with my partner Mike next week shots 30 to 12 as well I don't know if that's accurate but Owen Reed nearly perfect in all of the shots that
