Toronto Rock vs. Chicago Shamrox
Quote:
Bob Watson and the Toronto Rock defense held the Chicago Shamrox scoreless for the entire fourth quarter, as the Rock topped the Shamrox, 11-9, at Sears Centre on Saturday. Chicago led 9-8 after three quarters, but Toronto outscored Chicago, 3-0, in the final quarter. Blaine Manning scored four goals to lead Toronto, while Kasey Beirnes scored three goals in his Rock debut.
Chicago, who trailed 5-4 at halftime, outscored the Rock 5-3 in the third quarter. The Shamrox took their first lead of the game when rookie transition player Bobby McBride picked off an outlet pass and scored with under one minute left in the third to make the score 9-8.
Aaron Wilson scored for Toronto to tie the game with nine minutes to go, before Manning scored the eventual-winner moments later, his fourth goal of the game. Beirnes scored his third goal of the game to give Toronto an 11-9 lead shortly after.
Seven of Toronto's 11 goals were scored on the power play. Josh Sanderson added two goals for the Rock, while Aaron Wilson and former Shamrox captain Cam Woods added singles. Bob Watson got the win in goal.
Chicago was led offensively by McBride and Kevin Fines, who scored two goals apiece. Mat Giles, Mike Hobbins, Callum Crawford, Josh Wasson and Chris Panos added singles. Shamrox starting goaltender Brandon Miller left the game for unknown reasons after one quarter and was replaced by backup Derek Collins for the remainder of the game. Collins was credited with the loss.
Toronto (1-0) meets the Minnesota Swarm in back-to-back games next weekend, starting in Toronto's Air Canada Centre on Friday. Chicago (0-1) will meet the Philadelphia Wings at Wachovia Center on Saturday.

Anyone see the game. Unfortunetly (SP?), the game was not broad casted for us Rock fans. I am hoping to go to their home opener on the 11th.
Go Rock Go!! |
