Cougars Blast Bears 14-0February 9, 2002 The Cougars came out and simply dominated this game in every fashion. They not only outscored the Bears 14-0, but out-shot them 63-7! That's even with the Bears having 5 power plays. Actually that shows the Bear goalie, Stephen Fitzgerald, had a pretty good game, making 49 saves.
|  | | Nick | The Bears just couldn't keep up with the Cougars' speed, skill or passing and everyone on the team contributed in the scoring. Nick Lavarias led the offensive onslaught with 5 goals and Stephen Fragoza had a hat trick of his own. 11 of the 12 Cougars on the ice received at least one point.
|  | | Jordan | The domination was at both ends of the ice as the defense frustrated every attempt the Bears made at putting together a decent scoring chance. Most of the seven shots the Bears could muster were attempted from the blue line and weren't really a threat. The result was a shutout for Jordan Fragoza and the defense.
A review of the box score will tell the story of the game, including some really gaudy numbers (Stephen Fragoza, +12!).
Tomorrow, it's up to Oakland to play the Bears on their ice. A major traffic jam seems to be the only way to prevent the same type of score and the Bears best hope. |
