Grand Rapids vs Bemidji

As far as wearing the stripes...

I forgot my zebra shirt at home.

Another workmanlike w for the Indians. Nothing spectacular, although Tabaka made some outstanding saves to keep GR in the game early. Once they found their legs, it was over for Bemidji. Lots of chippy play again, but in that arena apparently anything goes. Knew it may be a long night of whistle blowing against Rapids while watching the JV play shorthanded for most of the night, but I suppose the penalties evened out. On to Thursday.

Congratulations to Trevor Tabaka for his first career shutout, and what I believe to be his first career penalty at the varsity level. Also congratulations to Nate Dumm on his first varstity goal. His second wasn't far behind.

Now hopefully none of you take Thurs. night off.

Dumm made a great read follwong the first man out of the 5 on 3.
But who made the pass, very Tom Brady like. Ninety to a 100 feet and right onthe tape.
Very fun to watch, even if disheartening.

No one from the range could be that bad Agreed they made some mystery calls that weren't obvious, and missed some blatant stuff.

Kosak through the long bomb tape to tape. Nate got a great jump, and with his speed no one was gonna catch him. Great all around ice vision by both players.

Trevor put on a great show early with some acrobatic saves, and some tough saves he made look very easy.

Elliot, are you sure you weren't the guy with the big ears? You know, the one who should have bought a ticket because all he did was stand around and watch?

No, the linesman was from Bemidj, but not me.
The main two guys were from Taconite or its suburb (Hibbing), I think.

Good thing as those short sleeves would make it a little chilly

Good thing its short sleeve, as it was, it took two zebras to make the dang thing.

For a kid who's had limited activity, Tabaka showed some great poise. In my opinion, he handles the puck away from the net better than others. His calm demeanor during the game showed he's ready to play in any situation. He's had what, 3 or 4 career starts? He played like he's been the #1 guy for 3 seasons. Very valuable having a guy like that.

Bemidji people did not believe me when I told them he was the back-up goal-tender.

But GR had a very good back-up last year, also.

First 12 minutes it was the Tabaka show. And some big saves later to keep Bemidji from getting intot the game.

Who was that guy last year? The backup? His name slips my mind.

I believe it was.
He has gone on to college and last I heard was having a somewhat successful year tending goal at the level,
doing well in school,
but not much luck in finding a girlfriend.

Good One

I see he has two two starts in a row and has had a GAA of 3.50 and a save % over 92 in those two starts.

Really? I thought maybe I saw you in one.

It's all about who you know I guess.
