001welcome in sir arena devin dobeck alongside colin casey and we are excited for back-to-back nights of hockey and not to mention the game tomorrow but anyways the east long meadow spartans will take on the low lions colin coming in what do the spartans have to look out for with the lions well this lion's team's much improved from the year before uh they i think they only ended up with three wins in 2019 2020 and here they are this season with eight wins i believe coming into this game so uh different division for uh for sure um for ludlow compared to east song meadow we'll see how much of a difference it is between a team that's had success this season and a team like you saw metal that's trying to end a pretty lengthy winless

002streak absolutely i spoke with coach dan reed pre-gaming he said this is a must-win uh game for the team and obviously you think all of them are ludlow a division lower spartans you know needs some momentum when they got miniaturg on tap for tomorrow as cj calogy in the corner boards trying to get something going very low glass here at sierra arena haven't been here since the long meadow game last year and now dobeck behind the goal looking in front he's got hands as a wrap around lou keynes makes it one nothing early 29 seconds in colin yeah just 29 seconds all it took it was a quick dump in down the near side and haynes kind of just looked towards the net and realized nobody was on him so he decided to go for

003the quick wrap around caught everybody by surprise including tyler chares the goaltender so exactly the start you want if your coach dan reed won nothing early and yeah i spoke with coach reed and i i said listen i made a point i was like in the games luke haynes has scored there's they spartans have either they've come out with a point every time lou caines has scored um so that's something to look out for and great that he gets on the board early and we are on a iphone hotspot we had to do another last minute crunch um so we're on an iphone hotspot hopefully it's working out for you but yep uh shout out to dovex for having unlimited data or else we may not be bringing you hockey tonight because we are in

004the boonies and we had to we had to act fast and also shout out to mrs haines she offered to bring a booster but even that probably wouldn't have done it with the 3g data that we're on but here we are spartans with a one nothing lead early and now walking in for the lions palmer and i don't know what just happened that looked like it came out from behind sherwood collin didn't hit the problem i think it snuck through his pads and actually did glance off the post he never even saw it but luckily a good job by the spartans defense to clear immediately out of the crease and chris sherwood goes down into the boards hard and we're going to get stoppage i think we're going to see our first power play of

005the game yep interference the call all right i wonder if that's uh who it sure would but anyway spartans will go to the power play that'll be colby palmer the one going to the box captain dobeck line out there for the spartans and opposite of him will be ben corbin the leading scorer and i believe he has six colin we talked about pregame yes six he came in with another three others with five it's actually been pretty balanced scoring when you think about it four different players with five or more goals they make up for 75 percent of ludlow scoring but right now their main focus is to keep the deficit one as pretty good start to this penalty kill for the lions and corbin trying to kill some clock there and now good for

006check for macquarie to kill some time now dobeck finding haines he's already got one and we know he'll be looking for more if anyone likes to shoot the puck on this team it's him and dobeck trying to chop it back to haines too much for him to handle there dobek gets it back chips it on the boards and ludlow unable to clear now for the lions sam cochi another guy with five goals and luke haynes dobeck got caught offside not sure i agree with that one but we'll have a driver yeah i think he actually was just a fraction ahead of that play he was trying to time perfectly where his uh haynes teammate was coming back towards the blue line but just about a fraction of a second out of sync that would have

007been a really nice odd man rush for the spartans on the power play alec nero now winning the draw for the spartans we saw him playing wing last night he was the lone goal scorer for ellen meadow and sherwood was taking the draws but looks like they've gone back to the original plan i mean if you want to talk about a tough season for the spartans with just one win so far but alex nero a real bright spot for this team this season he's got four goals on the year yep yep so yeah definitely some confidence for the freshman heading on as speak of the devil he enters the zone and tries to get one on net very weak shot aiden fisher giving chase he's in a scrum with nick soja and now sherwood dropping

008it back down to row back out will flash a risha and a save made by cherist now wow that's kind of [ __ ] skips up there and then aiden fisher buries it to nothing east long meadow i think that's fisher's second of the year as he's able to sneak that one past the again i think ludlow just kind of slow to react as that puck came free right on the far side circle and fish are able to wrist it past charest who's off to a tough start this evening but yeah i mean this is by far the best start of the season i think for the spartans in any game they've played absolutely colin we're just two minutes and about 50 seconds in and spartans have a two goal lead with a lot of hockey left

009to play not something we've said very often they've had one two goal lead and obviously that miniature game that ended in heartbreaking fashion but also of one of the brighter spots in the spartan season as dobeck in front puck skips out to haines and now he tries to play it back for arnold but it's intercepted and we see a few turnovers there one of the good things to note for the spartans thus far they don't look tired after playing a game last night and having one tomorrow the energy level has been really impressive through this first almost five minutes and maybe a few confidence and you know that provides a little extra energy following the early quick goals but we'll take it now cuen in front nobody on the doorstep to finish that one and

010now haynes i'm not sure i think that was a shot but anyways bouncing puck in front you come back to o'brien he's tries to keep the zone unfortunately he's unable to and now with speed sam kochi flying in he takes a spill he's slow to his feet now fisher another freshman and wakar and now clark in a battle with arnold and the corner boards lions trying to make something happen in the offensive zone but nero comes away with the loose puck he makes a move around one man and pucks intercepted by pereira and then lifted out of play i'm not sure what i wonder how delay a game works with boards that are so short colin yeah i mean at the uh at the amateur level there is no delay of game plan i believe

011they treat it just like in icing as they do at the college level so far and i honestly like that rule because there's it's delay a game so rare and you it's so hard to really be able to lift the puck out of play in in an attempt to get your team a face off but if you haven't played it's just an icing that's penalty enough you got tired legs on the ice you can't make the change the advantage still stays with the attacking zone team yeah great points made there as la flesh trying to spin it back in sure wood tapping it to narrow looking in fisher again that one whizzes by on the short side ludlow trying to make something happen spartans have been pretty much in control which is which feels really

012good to say let me tell you and now laflesh trying to get one on net redirected by fisher unfortunately didn't get to the net now ludlow trying to break it out they turn it over la flesh getting it to sherwood dobeck calling out his name dobeck kind of turns it over tries to work it to haines haynes back to the flesh and now ludlow trying to go the other way unfortunately it's turned over for them ludlow having a tough time connecting passes now la flesh he blows a tire turnover made unfortunately ludlow able to take advantage unable to take advantage and now haynes gets it knocked away hey what car haynes and dobeck that whole line's been out there for a while but still just great energy so far and the other way now here

013come the lions arnold banks it's a cune and now dobeck will dump it in and finally colin that line able to get off the ice yeah good shift for them yeah good two-minute shift it seemed like and when you're getting that type of uh that type of minutes on your top line and productive minutes at that that's a big reason why you're up two nothing early in this game now chad o'brien looking to work it to sherwood it skips through his skates now trying to regroup his babieri he bank pass over to granfield and granfield trying to work it up ice to gomes who i believe is another five goal scorer he is so lolo got some scoring i'm not counting them out of this game just yet despite the spartans early uh attack with

014two goals and we have 8 20 to go in period one now o'brien working it to fisher scores two nothing for those of you just tuning in devin dobeck alongside colin casey you're watching spartans hockey live on lcat from sierrina getting the first one was oh my gosh yeah haynes 29 seconds in a wrap around similar to the one but similar to the one we saw against minichog but unfortunately uh not as much flare that goal is probably one of my favorite goals i've called in hockey and dobeck walking and he scores braden doback gets his first of the season that's a frustrating one if you're ludlow because they looked like they had won the draw back they didn't get it back very far but dobeck quickly pouncing on the puck skating right past the

015dot and just a quick release able to beat the goaltender to rest on the blocker side i think you got that one so really great first period for the spartans but here come ludlow the other way and caloji a great defensive play made there so spartans up three nothing on goals from haynes fisher and dobeck and we still got over half a period to go and that one goes off the side of the cage now trying to make something happen to the lions cochi unable to win the battle there cology gets spun around and kind of has to do a behind-the-back move with his stick kun finds haynes luke haynes entering the zone with speed he pulls up waiting to get his defenseman in the zone cj calogy the captain wrist one on net and

016that one is stopped and held on to yeah i think that was that that ended up getting stuck in tourists uh equipment there you had trouble controlling it but kind of bobbled around and he was able to have it but not exactly what you want if you're the goaltender you got another defensive zone draw coming and the last one resulted in an immediate goal from braden dobeck now chad o'brien from the point one way wide fisher the first one there and sure with a little body laid there and then a shot on goal by nero he was in tight nothing doing there three-nothing spartans if you are just joining us you missed quite a lot and travis arnold making a few deep moves travis arnold sticking with it unfortunately finally turns it over and now

017a break for the lions brandon gomes a bomb and it's gloved and saved by colin sherwood a couple of great opportunities for both teams one just created by arnold i mean some phenomenal dekes through the neutral zone able to get it all the way through and then the puck got knocked off his stick led to gomes going the other way on the breakaway but sherwood looking really sharp despite not getting a lot of action in this first period makes the easy save on a pretty healthy looking shot from brandon gomes and sherwood coming off a night with 43 saves and on 49 shots and let me tell you five of the six maybe even six out of the six there was nothing he could have done about just some absolute rockets from in tight and

018redirects and all sorts of crazy stuff and it came last night and great rivalry old school game we saw a physical game and if you hung with us you know what we're talking about dobek trying to work it to cue and cross ice he gets hooked a little bit and now in a scrum in the sideboards a lot of activity going on kalodi trying to break it out for the spartans he gets it over to kun they stay on side teddy kun leaves it for dobeck go back tapping it to garvey now kuhn finding kaloji or haynes rather behind the net and that one will go for an icing and we'll take it all the way back to the ludlow zone six minutes to go period one spartans with a three-nothing lead another defensive zone

019draw for ludlow although they got a couple of decent shifts strung together after that third goal we'll see if it leads to any momentum they've got that breakaway opportunity and here they come up ice once again with numbers now travis arnold behind his own net makes a deke moving gets by a man arnold working it up to nero nero loses it and the leading scorer corbin can't hang on to it in the neutral zone fisher definitely got caught offside there and still there but we'll get the draw 37 to go period one ludlow trying to get some momentum shifted their way oh sherwood and now corbin leaves it for sanderson and arnold comes away with a loose puck and fires one on net it's tipped way up and way out of play you gotta think

020colin as you were telling me pre-game what is it gonna take for them to make these boards higher or add some netting because yeah these pucks fly all over the place let me tell you i think the boards and glass combined for everywhere except a couple of the corners have a little bit of an extension there where it looks to normal height but they can't be more than six seven feet tall they're they're not very big i would say six feet tall max yeah [Music] and i believe we're going to get it offside so we'll do it outside the blue line and this is an interesting matchup if you think about the what the path both teams took going into this game where you saw meadows been facing some really tough opponents including three games

021against minichog and going o2 and one against them it seems to be building character with this team and realizing hey they have to work for every inch against minute jog they're right now working for every inch against ludlow and it's paying off and kurtz turns it over now kaloji trying to do it himself still looking for his first goal of the season i believe he had one last year and clojie ludlow trying to swing one in front of the net mouth nobody home now corbin trying to do it himself what the lions have relied on all season they haven't had much to show in period one i believe sherwood stopped maybe two pucks tonight one got by him don't know how that didn't go in the net but and that really could have changed the

022complexion of that game because that took place before the schools yeah haynes takes a dive and i think it might have actually been the before the first goal too it was really early on i'm trying to remember well we scored like 20 seconds in so fisher walking in and aiden fisher goes top cheddar for his second of the game four nothing east long meadow just a really well aimed shot and i think for jurassic one you might want to have back because anytime you get beat from a a decent length you want to you want to have that one back simply and does it it's insult to injury when it ends up being a a four-nothing game with still four minutes left in the first but again a lot of time left and we'll see

023if the spartans are able to keep up this momentum and take it take the shutout i should say in the first intermission nero tied up with grainfield now he's trying to make something happen lions trying to break it out pyre is unable to receive that one fischer dumps it in and avoids the hit aidan fisher having a probably his best game thus far enough just for the two goals he's kept his head up and and been playing some of his best hockey maybe a little confidence after you get a goal but he looks like a new guy out there yeah i think he also had another shot or two in addition to the goalie sport so he's been positionally in the right places and he's certainly gotten reward for them so far in this first

024and now walking in unfortunately it hops over the stick of car bad break for the lions there is he the car was in all alone and so was joseph pires on that rebound he was on that back post and he couldn't get the backhand through there as you're gonna stop it here that the puck was tied up on the far corner board so both teams will get some fresh flagged on the ice so let me do some math here colin spartans have scored if i'm not mistaken nine goals this season and four four so 13 now period so they have almost a third of their scoring coming in this game and we're only in the first period lou kane's walking in that one skips by on the far side the flesh gets burned and now

025ludlow trying to gain some speed but we'll flash all 250 pounds of him are not gonna let you box him out and lions just learned that that is a solid dude and haynes lays a big hit feeling that one with steel and now cune trying to make something to happen nolan will carr getting it back to steal and now a car dumping it in two minutes to go period one ludlow looks really gassed so far in this first period it's clear that they haven't played i think a team with that is as well conditioned as the spartans have been part of that's just because of the competition they've gone up against they've faced some really fast teams and it shows and walking into row now fischer trying to work it to caloji he gets it

026there unfortunately grandfield there and he swings it out of the zone and that one goes into the penalty bench this series just so many i would not want to play here man i'll tell you yeah that's certainly frustrating and not only that not just the penalty bench not having any glass but the shorter glass all around for defenseman when you're trying to clear the puck out to the neutral zone you got to be able to keep it on a lower trajectory which is certainly going to take at least a period i think for these guys to adjust to i'm surprised we haven't seen more pucks flying out of play now ludlow opportunity trying to be generated but spartans are going to have a two on one up ice alec nero sure would caught offside i

027don't agree with that one but i'm not going to complain too much two on one negated sherwood couldn't hold the foot apparently allegedly yeah would have been a golden chance to tack on that fifth goal but chris sherwood's still looking for his first high school goal as well and now fisher trying to swing it back nero for fisher lyon trying to break it out grandfield off the boards that kid can fly o'brien the first one there though and he makes a few deep moves unfortunately puts in a dangerous area of the ice spinning around now we're under a minute to play o'brien takes a big hit gets his cage messed up a bit and in front good defensive play made by arnold [Music] now sherwood tied up with a car he drops it back down

028to granfield in front unfortunately palmer unable to receive that one 30 seconds to go arnold trying to chop it and now kyung and walking in now another shot rebound that was dobeck on the shot and now calogi dumping it in ten seconds ago throwback wins the race now leflash trying redirected by kuhn and two one first period will come to a conclusion spartans with their best period all season up four nothing on the ludlow lions on the back of goals by haines fisher times two and dobeck wow colin any thoughts after that first period well the main thing to take away from that first fear the performances of those top two lines i mean you got two goals from uh from that first line of hanes and dobeck and then fisher on the second line

029i believe picking up the other two goals so when you've got top six forwards playing at that high level it's no surprise that the spartans come out to an early and big lead now the question is are they going to get complacent are they able to keep that fire going and when you're a team coming in that's only got one on the season you're taking every period you can to really just kind of push this team out of out of com competition really in this game and that's exactly what the spartans need to do in the second is they can't the good thing about not having intermission is really just a time out essentially so they can go right back out there and keep that momentum going without actually having to keep you know keep

030that motivation through 10-15 minutes of rest time so if you're the spartans just hey keep doing what you're doing and you're going to find yourselves with an even bigger lead after two periods absolutely colin we've been enjoying it i'm sure code three has two after uh frustrating game against minute jog and then coming off that uh well i mean it was one one going into period three so you know something had to be going right first period didn't go too well second period spartans actually outshot minichog nine to seven which was pretty impressive considering what it's been like all season um but then you know third period unfortunately they collapsed but spartans being resilient having a game today coming in getting four goals in the first period great start for them best all season and

031you know it's great momentum for these guys heading into tomorrow with miniature you know miniature hasn't been a team the past couple games that's really blown them out early and if the spartans can jump on the falcons early like they did uh in the second meeting with them who knows what could happen tomorrow we're looking forward to that i know i'm looking forward to that as we're looking to wind things down here and head on to period two colin what this friends need to keep doing to keep pedal to the metal and hang on here uh the the four check has been really impressive so far i think that's one thing to to look out for towards the end of the period especially i don't think they ended up scoring but there was numerous chances

032where the defense came and hustled to the blue line to try to keep the puck in and found some success so as great as the scores have been on offense credit to the defenseman also keeping these pucks in generating shots from the point there's a couple of nice shaves saves by charest at the end of the period that really kept it a four-nothing game so if they can keep getting those shots from the point that really opens up their offense even more where ludlow doesn't just have to worry about plays down low they got to worry about up top as well second period underway here at sierra arena looks like they got a new scoreboard and we were noticing earlier looks good and the ice is redone you know they're keeping it up unfort maybe

033they had a lot of time with cove it had no public skate anymore but anyway car trying to look down low unfortunately too much for corbin to handle and now cj calogy the captain behind the boards la flesh rips one around luke haynes gonna have a burst of speed trying to generate a chance blue canes can't touch a pass to accara great back check by him in order to break up the two on one for the spartans now in neutral ice trying to get some speed sam kochi now liu kane's walking in he fires one low and wide now la flash cune trying to leave it back in dove skating hard he's able to win the puck away and he hangs on to it la flesh now keeping the zone go back down to kun

034and dobek gets dropped kun hanging on to the puck and it comes out unfortunately just out of the reach of the flash and he tries to win the race with kochie see the lions cochi and corbin and those type of players are and as well as ryan kurtz are going to have to get going you're leading scorers and right now fans have not been able to break sherwood grand field and a battle with cology and now a bomb from the point pereira unable to get a good stick on that pereira trying to dump it back in sherwood gets run into from behind by pires great shift right now from bryce pereira able to get a shot on goal and then keep the puck in two separate times but unable to do it right there nero

035off the bank pass from sherwood three on one for the spartans the row walks in shot blocker save made and now pereira trying to tie it up behind his own net it's won by nero now calogi wristing it around the boards pereira haynes unable to keep the zone for the spartans and pires throws it in and laguerre on the forecheck now for the lions haven't heard much from him tonight it might be his first shift will carr trying to make something good happen for the lions lou haynes gets it back and unfortunately can't get a good shot away there it hops away from him teddy kun and keloji shot blocked down in front good play by drawing a lot of bodies over on the right side of the ice kung walking in he's going to

036go around the net gets it out to kaloji kalogi wrist shot might have been blocked down a little bit now kuhn dropping it down to dobeck dobeck back towards kuhn and then he drops it back down to him puck won away by car spartans seem to be a bit out of position and to the dismay of coach reed and trango now sherwood trying to keep the zone for the spartans and you can see coach reed trying to get his guys going seems like he's having some words with the top unit yeah i mean they haven't been able to find the back of the net so far in the first four minutes there's been some good zone time but ludlow i think has responded pretty well after a subpar first period starting to see them have

037a little bit more cleaner entries and get a couple of good looks so far in colin stairwell if you're just joining us fashionably late the score is four nothing east long meadow at sierra arena off goals from haines and two from aidan fisher the freshman as well as braden dobeck getting his first of the season ten and a half minutes to go period two and spartans trying to add to their monumental lead now a car for the lions looks like dobeck went for a little penguin slide there kyung trying to work at the haynes gets caught up in the skates of a lion and now that one goes the length of the ice for an icing with 10 12 to go in period two yeah the the breakout we'll see if the spartans can kind

038of get back to where they were in those in that first period they have had a couple of good odd man rushes so far in the period but nothing has really materialized where they've been able to find a real quality shot on the goaltender tyler charest shout out to jamie on the camera with an unbelievable pit stop there during the whistle quick little change there and we're back to you sorry if we lost you for a sec and a bomb and loose puck in front big shot by kurtz there trying to find his sixth of the season and that one sent back in o'brien giving chase now haynes trying to work it to garvey hannah garvey hannah almost cashed in last night he had a few opportunities one really good shift and now lions walking

039in and ripping it way over the net brandon combs another prolific score for the lions he's had a couple of chances tonight hasn't been able to capitalize just yet that one skitters through the crease garvey hannah trying to clear the zone now the flash kendrick la flesh wrapping it around the boards and now walking in granfield shot was deflected by o'brien could have been costly for the spartans but they get bailed out granfield flails at that shot attempt run into by sherwood and another shot goes over the glove and wide on the far side of sherwood that one hops over the glass trying to catch it and bring it back into place with car you can do your best ken griffey jr impersonation at this class and try to take one back from going over

040but not quite able to do so that time 8 29 to go period to spartans still shutting out the lions 4 nothing you're watching spartans hockey live on lcat we're happy to have you on board on friday night i'm sure there's no place you'd rather be right now than watching spartans hockey they're a real hand pass there yep so yeah these look the lines thwarted but still i've liked what i've seen from ludlow in the second period uh reminds me i think of the spartans in the third period a few weeks back in that rough game they had against minichog where things hadn't been going their way but they were able to take a you know play a strong final period that'd be something to take out of it and maybe a strong final two

041periods is what ludlow needs to really get back right into it when they get back into uh divisional play against some of the opponents that they've had a lot of success against this year now in a row he loses it in the offensive zone cology rips one and looks like came into sanderson pretty good and now knocking down but narelle able to bury it aiden fisher what an assist mate as he was getting knocked down and aiden fisher with his third point of the evening and alec nero with his fifth of the season at number five for the freshman and all set up really by a great play i think by nero to knock the puck down out of midair then he went straight to the front of the net he was in perfect spot

042to fire that puck home and definitely a bright future for him with three more years of eligibility i think he's only going to get better as time goes on yep and now in front lions trying to make something happen corbin and now cross ice kurtz unable to hang on to that one spartans catch a break there yes certainly did i think if he was able to get a one-timer on that sherwood wouldn't have even seen the puck and it would have been five to one as this puck ends up in the bleachers i mean if there was fans here someone could probably be going to the hospital luckily that one didn't come in too hot and i guess you know it's it is high school level thankfully it's not like you know division one college

043playing here or else someone might be losing some teeth oh and arnold rips one off of curts and he's gonna limp off the ice that one hurt me garvey hannah on the four check they haven't changed the score to five i'm pretty sure it's five nothing as we're halfway through the contest garvey hannah with another good shift here providing some pressure so our now over 50 percent of the goals they scored all season long been able to do it in just a period and a half it's pretty incredible maybe it's sierra arena maybe we should play here tomorrow that's good point now teddy kun still looking for his first high school one and i'd really like to call it so hopefully he's able to make something happen here now travis arnold breaking it out to

044who else but teddy kun and a good forecheck by him unfortunately it skitters out of his own garvey hannah tried to keep it not enough sherwood in the midst of everything puck gets chopped around and now cj calogy leading the break and a three on two cj calogy trying to go around the net mouth he gets run into and now grandfield he's small but he sure is fast and he's trying to find larone in front that's all rather that is off but you know who cares officials taking the time now to adjust it only gone off about a couple of inches that might be why they kept play going but yeah the near side mooring seemed to kind of just come a little bit loose 5 35 to go period to the score five nothing

045in favor of the east long meadow spartans and colin coming in i was not expecting it to be this much of a gap between the two teams ludlow having a strong year from everything i've heard coming in so definitely unexpected but spartans will take the five nothing lead now calogi spinning it back hanes trying to get there but unfortunately picard wins the race the flash keeping the zone haynes will collect it in the corner boards he spins away from a defender and making another move now dobeck with it behind the net he i think got caught on some snow and he lose it he retains possession after absorbing the hit and now trying to spin away haynes not on the same wavelength with him and spartans turn it over hannah flips it back into the

046offensive zone but now granfield with speed unfortunately he turns it over i said unfortunately a lot so apologies for that i guess that's my go-to word been an unfortunate night for the lions thus far so i guess i'm just trying to you know we we've we've had a few games where we we've been in their positions so i definitely understand uh i i have some empathy to say the least and now wakar firing one that one almost found its way past sherwood sherwood looking for his first career high school shutout and a shot by corbin whizzes wide great shift from the lions well trying to work it in front of the net sherwood finally realizes free puck and trying to work it to garvey hannah who's been on the ice for a while and arnold

047riss one sherwood giving chase welcar coming away with it now in a battle nero and fisher and sideboards and now chris sherwood right in front he wrists one from in tight and that's nightmare worthy a great chance for chris sherwood his best of his career by the way uh looks like they made a goaltender change for ludlow as it's david tassinari who's the man in between the pipes now probably should have caught on to that earlier but it is what it is he's replaced the junior tyler terresta i wonder if it took place probably in the interior yeah in that brief intermission and uh to be to be to uh tassinari's credit he's only given up the one goal uh but i will say his team has played a lot better defensively in this second

048period than they did in the first 307 to go period two spartans with a five goal lead granfield it's tied up with sherwood now fisher looking for his first career high school hat trick a lot of milestones up in the air tonight for the spartans if they continue this great offensive night they've had now in front unfortunately the pass too much for gomes unfortunately again i gotta i need to have an unfortunately jar for like a dollar because that's just been stuck in my head and that needs to stop it's a word of the day and now ludlow trying to put something in front of the net it gets cleared out by the spartan defense tom garvey unable to clear the zone he tries to give a little stick check there and now aiden fisher

049will dump it in the spartans get a change 208 to go in the second period of action also if someone at home would like to just update i think the quality of the stream is really good tonight correct me if i'm wrong but if someone wants to fire a text of how it's looking at home that would be great not surprisingly another puck ends up out of place that one actually landed on the unfortunately landed a on the ledge up over on the far side of the ice so don't think you're gonna be getting that one back anytime soon face off outside the blue line dobeck kind of goes down on his knees hard there now corbin trying to break away from arnold ties him up and the quality is not bad that's that positivity

050exhibited from my father it's about as yep all right we'll take not bad honestly do you think it would have been a worse review had braden not scored probably would have got it something like that subpar something 128 to go in the second period it's 5-0 in favor of the spartans shadow brian trying to work at the cune he tries to make a spin move now haynes trying to make a windmill deke he gets his stick tied up don't know how no offside there and haynes gets caved in almost created a great chance for himself keeping the zone as chobi and unfortunately i i ugh that's going to drive me nuts hey you cut yourself off that time yeah it's still still working at it i don't know i usually don't have a word but

051tonight i do 42 seconds to go be sure to stay tuned for the second intermission report with colin and myself looking forward to breaking down the spartan success through the first two periods of action and also miniature tomorrow previewing that game 30.8 seconds ago sherwood will take the draw the flash lion's a potential two on one but uh lazy play made there and no chance giving out yeah a lot of ice to work with instead just trying to backhand it through his teammate wasn't the right move big collision on the far side of the ice 10 seconds to go nero and now sherwood but lions might get one more shot away on sherwood and 2-1 that will do it for period two so spartans have a five-goal lead after two periods they've scored five goals

052against agawam in game one but that's pretty much all the scoring we've seen i mean as you said colin more than half their scoring all season being shown here at sierra arena spartans lead the lions five nothing goals once again were from two from aidan fisher one from liu kane's one from braden dobeck and alec nero adding his fifth of the season colin i mean what do we credit the spartan success through this game that hasn't been going their way in the games prior this season well certainly the the rushes have been a lot cleaner throughout this game i mean honestly the second period i think could have been a little bit better if you're coach reed i think you might have wanted a little bit better uh line changes granted this is that this

053was a period of the long line change with both benches on the far side of the ice so i think that took the spartans a little bit getting used to but they've started to get into a rhythm later on in the period they were able to get the goal from nero but there's definitely some room for improvement if you're the spartans you want to have a really good third period to build on and go into that fourth match up against miniature they certainly seem like they've gotten better every single game against shaw they had that opportunity to win they ended up squandering it ended up tying uh in that second game and even the third game 1-1 going into the third period so they've proven that they can hang with the falcons the important thing

054is to have a complete game tonight and then have another one tomorrow that way who knows what i mean if you look into you know whatever next season might hold with a lot of this young team coming back if you can finish strong season with some quality wins against opponents like minichog then you're setting yourself up for long-term success for your coach reading the spartans yeah colin and there's been a lot of skepticism around the spartans team here throughout the season with you know you know do they have what it takes to play with these other teams in western mass and you know they've been put to the test um you know on the hot seat um but nevertheless they've you know given their all game in game out and here they are against ludlow

055up with a five-nothing lead they've hung with miniature the past two games you gotta think that things are starting to fall into place for the spartans so to speak they got two games in the next three days with miniature and then westfield on monday looking forward to that one as well they haven't faced the bombers this year um but yeah i mean and you've got to kill a lot of it coach reed as well you know firing up his guys he's never one that's gonna back down and and also probably the hardest on himself as well as his team and you know he he tries to not take any positives away all he uh thinks about is what can i work on what can we do to make our team better um so you know

056that mentality that winning mentality and improving mentality is um what is going to help the spartans and you know they got a young group as we've touched on a lot of freshmen and sophomores so you know two and three more years with this core group um of course you're gonna lose the captain and kaloji and john kuhn who we figured out was running the scoreboard um will also be gone but you're gonna get aiden asher back so you're gonna have your top two lines intact colin a lot of positive and upside to look out for but any final thoughts heading into the third period for the spartans to keep rolling into miniature tomorrow uh yeah if they can take that final i would say three four minutes that they played in the second period and

057apply it to the final 15 minutes of this game i'll really like where they're going at going into that uh that game tomorrow against minute chalk the the first period was exceptional and i think that's you know the best period the spartans have played this year the reality is they're not they're probably not going to have a period like that against minichog where they're able to score four goals against a team that's so fundamentally sound in the falcons so they can get a couple of goals here in this in this period and also keep the shutout intact in the third then you gotta have about as much confidence as you can going into a big matchup against a team you've lost well you've lost twice to and you've tied a game that you probably should

058have won against them so a lot of frustration i'm sure for the spartans they're taking a little bit of it out right now on ludlow the important thing is they can take that fire into tomorrow's matchup and a great third period will certainly do wonders for them in 15 minutes a lot of time to maybe fill a couple milestones for the spartans teddy cune and chris sherwood both looking for their first high school goal and you know aiden fisher a goal away from a hat trick colin uh 15 minutes away from his first career high school varsity shutout so you know a lot on the line we're looking forward to a great third period and hopefully a spartans with a spartans win god willing something catastrophic doesn't happen um but here we are five nothing

05915 minutes to go you're watching spartans hockey live on lcat we'll be with you shortly for period three i think lcat has a really good mics so [Music] uh we're just about set to go for period three here at sierra arena devin dobeck alongside colin casey spartans with a five five-nothing lead over the ludlow lions colin i know we pretty much covered it in the intermission but anything you'd like to touch on before we drop the puck uh i i think if you're ludlow um you you look at that second period and call it a success in my opinion they only allowed one goal and got some great opportunities i think there were one or two opportunities that i was stunned that lula wasn't able to find the back of the net so the chances

060were there in the second period for the lions big difference is can they capitalize them on them in the third period and try to cut into this five goal deficit man he's he's opposite of course corbin top line center for the lions lion's trying to make something going shots ripped around by cochi now dobeck and haynes together on a two on one dobeck walking in and rips one extremely um far on the inside nowhere near the net and now lions trying to just get anything on net as curt just launches one from outside the blue line steve eiser and special right there but usually eyes i'm gonna go top shelf on that one spartans kind of get lucky there ludlow demand all alone while the spartans were changing out and if the defenseman picked up

061on it they could have been all alone in for a breakaway over a minute gone by period three for those of you who are tuning in extremely late um wow that's a bit of a dirty hit and i guess yeah but a little late there but it seemed like that was all stick and not much shoulder on that hit and officials picked up on it so just a second penalty of the game and both of them going against ludlow so that's the car but for those of you tuning in extremely late period three of action devin doback alongside colin casey spartans with a five-nothing lead over the ludlow lions two from aidan fisher one from braden dobeck one from haynes and nero rounding out the five goals i think the official call was roughing on

062that one so let's have a little bit of a conversation with the official but it didn't seem too heated yeah it looked like it was a pretty pretty simple call to make from our perspective that is [Music] and caloji around the net trying to take advantage on the power play lion's clear there arnold keeps it in the skates and kind of makes a silly play there and luckily spartans get bailed out with an offside call i think it might be colder in here than the temperature outside i just wanted to point that out i mean it is it's really cold out here colin you're no polar bear no i would have worn another pair of socks if i knew it was this uh cold my my feet are freezing keep those toes moving hey we'll

063take cold feet in a five-nothing lead as keloji walking and on a breakaway cj calogy right at the goaltender and he's gonna have some nightmares about that one arnold unable to keep the zone coach reed not please there an emphatic stomp now dobeck over to haynes haynes down to doveck dobeck cycling the puck and he gets checked and slow to his feet but he is up and the flesh trying to throw a man into the boards well then the flesh getting a penalty here yeah he was due for one dirty hit on cochi he sure doesn't like it 12 12 to go period three lions will go well we'll play some four on four hockey for a bit i'm not sure in case you forgot aidan asher and john kuhn running the clock so you

064know a lot of brain power down there um but unfortunately you know new technology and they're trying to figure things out but they just canceled the penalty clock we're gonna have some issues there i think they're keeping track of it now like in their mind they'll let them know exactly when uh when he's coming out so and sherwood makes a save there and taking a slide is nero and cochi they're trying to get figured out right now oh man yeah i think maybe he gave the official a uh a signal as to when he's coming out so i would say it's probably somewhere in 14 seconds oh no he's just out now see i was one second actually and so spartans on i believe their first kill of the evening colin and haynes trying to

065gain some speed pass and area risking it but now luke haynes the goalie kind of does like a little slide there yeah bad giveaway in his own end but haynes couldn't quite sneak it past he's had a really strong game of course open the scoring 29 seconds in since then that top line of him and right now dobik out there but uh i'm trying to remember who the other one out there with him that all three of them have been really good this uh this uh this evening of course stoback also with the goal himself absolutely so on the draw on the shorthand lions trying to just have something to show for the 45 minutes in this game go back can't finesse around the defender now a car working at the corbin corbin dropping it

066down and receiving it back on the give and go he's got space to move he walks in on sherwood sherwood comes up big and a great keep by car keep the zone 25 seconds to go on the flush miner looks like coach reid's not happy about i think the it was a line change that led to that breakaway on the power play but what a save by colin sherwood i mean so much confidence for a guy who hasn't gotten a whole lot of action tonight but when lovo's gotten chances they've been pretty good and he's been really good in that as he has been pretty much all season despite what the final scores a lot of these games say 10 20 to go in period three the flash set to get out of the penalty

067bench fischer gloves it down [Music] even strength of course and across ice pass knocked down by arnold and now ludlow the other way with speed walking in and sherwood comes up big stoning ethan clark 9 35 to go third period of action spartans close to their second win of the season this tom garvey takes a little slide there now kuhn picking off the pass backhander on net rebound loose garvey walking in throws one down into the boards now nero in front looking for garviana kun teddy kun number one of high school someone grabbed that puck and that all started with a smart play by garvey i think it was as the puck was coming towards him at the blue line he could have tried driving down a net through traffic but instead he throws it

068into the corner and it leads to the opportunity that's set up and of course q and able to capitalize and to touch down for the spartans are most goals on the in a single game on the season now with six and we still got 909 left in this one now ludlow in the corner cune trying to lift it out to garvey hannah he couldn't handle that one a lot of bodies on the far side of the ice now arnold lays a big hit in the corner boards now doveck with a burst of speed around the goal leaves it off for kun kun too much on the pass from gobek welcar sends it back in the other way now a car walking in and delayed penalty ludlow will go back to the power play at this

069time it'll be a holding call the guilty party for the spartans will wait but still nothing yet the goalie was skating to the bench for the lions and it looks like it's going to be dobeck have a nice conversation about that one in the car ride homes he can walk home actually he's still talking about it so he's go back two for holding spartans back to the kill now loose puck in front comes in sure and he covers that now i know the goal scored is definitely a bright spot in the period but i think coach reid's not going to like the penalties i've seen already too so far in this period after a really clean first two periods so that's something that that would put that's that's something that would put the spartans in

070a real big hole against miniature if they find themselves short-handed early and often now corbin cross ice finding his teammate pereira shot on goal save sherwood i think he's got to have at least 12 to 15 saves tonight yeah it's not like it's been a completely quiet night he's the lions didn't get a whole lot in the first period but since then they found a little bit of a rhythm offensively and they they certainly haven't been able to capitalize there've been some a couple of times where you just were surprised they didn't score but they're gaining confidence against a an opponent in a higher division and i think if they were able to play another game against the spartans tomorrow we would see a much closer deficit minute to go on the dobeck minor for

071holding and a bomb coming in that one almost found its way through big shot by ryan kurtz and now finally cleaning up the loose changes sam kochi lyons on the board on the power play yeah you have to see a replay but i think he just kind of lofted it back towards net and it went off of sherwood skate and then that's a tough one if you're a goaltender especially in a shutout there he probably wishes he'd peeked over his shoulder and seen where that puck was coming but sometimes that's all you need for if you're if you're ludlow to get get a little bit of confidence going they had that one a little bit earlier but just a puck thrown towards net and finally the lions are on the board dobeck winning the draw

072to arnold garvey hannah out with dobeck and you know who i haven't seen his hanes in a while i wonder what the story is with that i'm trying to look for him on the bench but anyways garvey able to hang on to that one arnold goes into the boards very awkwardly and everybody taking a gasp there slow to his feet but up is colby palmer yeah it goes right to the bench but i think it might just be a uh i think his coach is just like yeah we're gonna give you a breather after that one i don't want you going back out that oh what a huge hit yeah wow getting crunched teddy kun by thomas deroyne branfield trying to run into cune and a shot comes in on sherwood pad save 6 15

073to go and now derain shot wide garvey hannah trying to collect it and he will and then he loses it sure would playing it for arnold and now another shot from macar puck comes free and very soft shot from nick soja sure would able to cover that one up 5 46 to go period three yeah not taking any chances this time as we got some words being exchanged before nolan wicker goes to the bench and now nero trying to do well on the forecheck fisher will be forced to dump it in with a delayed offside still off still didn't reset and now fischer knocks it down slings it back in sherwood regroups now the flash fisher he's able to retain it after absorbing the hit he gets knocked down again and it [ __ ] is sent

074in sherwood will oh what happened behind the play i was looking at sherwood a couple of conversations going on a couple cross checks one of them was sam kochi and things are really starting to break down right now in the final six or seven minutes and fisher takes a dirty hit just as you were saying that colin so who knows what's about to happen but spartan bench and coach reed not happy and nero lays a hit on jeez his body's flying everywhere joe pyre is absorbing that one yeah the hope is that it doesn't boil over but sometimes you get so many of these hits in rapid succession and then someone goes for the home run and ends doesn't end too pretty so yeah geez 4 33 to go period three dobeck winning it o'brien

075now it comes in front sherwood gets a stick on it and pops it up now there's luke haines now doe back a potential two on one with teddy kun dobek walking in shot and it goes wide and dobeck goes into the boards now hanes trying to walk in lou kane's loses the puck and it comes out to the neutral zone aiden fisher fresh out of the bench is able to retain it for the spartans well brian fires a pass to do back dobeck takes a hit in an awkward area of the ice yeah that that's the that's the max patch ready area where he got rode off into the dasher back in 2011. dobeck on the doorstep a lot of bodies and spartans swatting at it trying to get it in there and here we

076go haynes keeping his composure and not retaliating yeah good good job by the officials quickly breaking that one up the puck was loose for a long time and he was eventually able to to get that puck up good thing is there's a little you know thin piece of padding over by the uh scores table but at the same time you know it's still pretty though that glass isn't too giving especially when it's at a 90 degree angle like that 35 to go caloji shot on net save made now sherwood gets tied up in the sideboard and run into nero and puts it in front nobody there fisher dropping it down and now colin dandy seeing some minutes but now walking in here comes the leading scorer and the door is shut corbin was in all

077alone and colin sherwood comes up big it was a really good move as well there but corbin couldn't quite lift the puck over the pad of sherwood and he has just been spectacular tonight just the one blemish on his night now ryan kurtz walking in on the backhand makes a move and couldn't get it on net we decided a little hit just a little while ago dandy trying to work it to fisher now calogy spartans seem a little tired and they're going to get fresh legs and icing as well 227 to go in the third period dobeck wins the draw now garvey hannah dobeck looks like tom garvey also playing a little forward with flash and now lions trying to make something happen arnold spins a man around and then we see a little sean

078higgins play made by braden dobeck taking a little spin there 150 to go in the third period action spartans closing in on win number two arnold with a nice little finesse move to step by benji steele and now a shot and an easy glove save on luke martin i sure would see in that one the whole way has glove out sometimes those can catch you by surprise especially in a game where your team's up pretty big but he's certainly been ready for everything and it hasn't been a great period defensively for the spartans they've given up that one goal and given up countless breakaways as well on them so there's certainly you know it's going to be a good win for the spartans to get back in the win column finally since uh since opening

079night but the same time i think there's definitely some things that can be improved upon going in tomorrow like that and wow what a safe made by sherwood there in tight was colby palmer and i don't know how he didn't fear it yeah i don't think the bench realized how great of a save that was from here i mean he he got that with his blocker cj kologi getting run into by a few lions now grandfield cology runs him over kind of re pays the favor and one minute remaining in the period oh yeah yeah granfield got crushed by kaloja you don't yeah i thought that might have been a penalty there i think that hit was a little bit up high and he's slow to get off and i think he really got his

080spell wrong also such a seismic match but walking in and another great brilliant save made by colin sherwood but yeah it's calogi also twice the size of him so maybe it was a little high but not really anything he could do about it fisher's gonna go here and a slash from car but spartans will go to the penalty kill as fisher kind of flipped him a little bit but you know should honestly be offsetting his will car through a slash as well but 29.2 seconds spartans will go to the kill yeah again a third penalty of the period so discipline not a good mark on the spartans in this third period and you know i think i think the clock was still going there so um but anyways ludlow one for two on the power

081play today so that's one bright spot they can take in as they were able to get that lone goal on the man advantage and maybe they could get another one and take a little bit more momentum off this game garvey hannah with an unbelievable shot block on the penalty kill doing his thing and you know that's why coach reed's got him out there able to make plays on the kill 15 seconds to go no icing there colin dandy trying to work it to garvey hannah but now walking in and trying to go short side colin sherwood comes up big 3-2-1 spartans earned their second win of the season 6-1 shout out to our timekeepers aide asher and john kuhn they didn't they've never done this before but they did a pretty good job as they

082ring a few extra buzzers there so great job by them we're looking forward to seeing aiden back on skates once that ankle injury clears up and john of course the senior but anyways column spartans kind of end on a on a great note i mean the first period you know an absolute flurry with four goals they finished with a score of six one um what do they need to do i mean we've we've talked about this a lot but heading into miniature big game uh what do they need to do well they need to play a full uh was 45 minutes in in this game because you looked coming into this into this matchup today they had nine goals on the season four in the first three in the second and two in the third

083so it seemed like they've been running out of gas towards the end and you know we're gonna pick up a goal in this third period but i think it's clear that the first period was best period in the game of season long they're going to have to play every single one of those periods against minute chalk like that first period if they want to have a chance against them and they've had great periods against minichalk i mean they've they've been in position to win two of these three games that they've had against them so far including a lead with less than three minutes to go um the important thing is if they can just maintain that momentum out of a first a strong first period if they're able to you know come out of the

084first period with the leader tied they ought to be able to carry that in the final 30 minutes of the game and you know they've proven they can hang with them and that's the important thing you got to be able to hang with these good teams they can hang with them at least in the start of the game maybe they can finally pull off the upset they've been trying to pull that's been three games in the making yeah and colin sherwood's gonna have to play his best game of the season heading into miniature you know he's been solid all season but tomorrow is you know it's a big game for him he had 43 saves last night and he had only allowed one goal tonight looking forward to seeing how he plays and spartans are

085going to have to learn how to contain uh terzi and other guys on that top line noel who had an unbelievable game genovese we're looking forward to it i'll be on the call at 250 alongside a special guest who shall remain nameless so tune in 250 tomorrow looking forward to that one colin final thoughts big big win for the spartans back in the winter yeah yep the first time they've been back in the win column since the opening game had to face some really tough opponents you know ludlow of course being envisioned lower than them i mean correct the level they fought the whole game but that third period i think was really a strong period from from the lions i think it's something they can take in their final few games of the season

086but as far as spartans go it's a much needed victory see if they take some momentum off it against the team they've seen a lot of in miniature tomorrow afternoon coach reid spartans pull out the win 6-1 final from olympia eye center and we'll recap the goals one last time dolbeck with one two for fisher one for nero one for cune and i came of course um so on behalf of all of us jamie behind the camera colin casey and myself devin dope the voice of the spartans thank you for tuning in to spartans hockey on elcap we'll see you tomorrow 250.
