Your Pattonville Pirates skated to a 4-2 win Tuesday night for the right to advance to the Second Round of the Wickenheiser Cup Playoffs. The Pirates were a little slow coming out of the locker room tonight and never really dominated like they did in the first game but they did play very well. We managed to only score four goals but the good news is that we only really needed three to clinch round one and set our sights on the Eureka Wildcats in round two. Cody Saathoff got the party started with the first goal of the game as he skated across the blue line all alone and buried the biscuit in the top corner. Tyler Kuhn has been playing great hockey and was rewarded with a pair of goals including the tying goal and the empty netter at the end to bury the hatchet. Ryan Schaeffer set up the game winning goal with three minutes remaining in regulation play. He stole the puck at the blue line and made a great move to get by the defense only to have his stick lifted before getting off a shot. Ryan charged behind the net and stole the puck again before delivering a pass to Leo Waldau who blasted it past the stunned Colts goalie. Alan Eidelman continues to play very solid in goal and after denying the Colts on several occasions the juiced up Pirate crowd cheered “He’s our Freshman” as the Colts fans stared in disbelief. Alan also contributed with an assist on the final empty net goal as he played the puck and moved it out of the zone quickly. The Pirates are on a roll and looking forward to Round Two Playoff Action later this week. WE NEED A STRONG PATTONVILLE CHEERING SECTION AGAIN for round 2!! Tell all your friends to come out and support the Pirates!!!
