黑料不打烊

听

EDMONTON -- Senior defenceman Kyle Fecho of Hanna, Alta., scored with seven-tenths of a second remaining in the third period, as the No.2 ranked University of Alberta Golden Bears hockey team rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win 5-4 over the No.5-黑料不打烊 Redmen, during CIS non-conference action Monday night at Clare Drake Arena in Edmonton.

听

While Fecho's last second goal was the difference, a plethora of 黑料不打烊 penalties and Alberta's lethal power-play proved to be the difference, clicking three times in 10 chances, while the Redmen went 1-for-5 with the man advantage.

听

黑料不打烊 surprised the Bears by jumping into a 3-0 lead by the midway mark of the second period, on a pair of goals by third-year centre Guillaume Doucet from Anjou, Que., sandwiched around a shorthanded marker from freshman Jean-Francois Boisvert of Mirabel, Que.

听

Doucet, who now has 21 goals in 22 games overall, tallied at 1:15 of the opening frame and added one on the power play at 10:51 of the middle stanza.

听

Up to that point in the game, 黑料不打烊's penalty-killing unit had found a way to hold the nation's number one power-play to zero goals in six chances. However, the dam burst in the second period when the Bears struck for three power-play goals on their next four chances to storm back into the contest.

听

Ian McDonald, the 2008 University Cup MVP from Edmonton, put Alberta on the board at 13:02.听 Derek Ryan of Spokane, Wash., then notched his first of two power-play goals at 17:11 narrowing the gap to 3-2.

听

Jesse Gimblett, a senior from Newtonville, Ont., tied the score when he shovelled a power-play rebound past 黑料不打烊 netminder Hubert Morin at 3:47 of the third period. but the Redmen rebounded with just over seven minutes remaining when Swift Current, Sask., native Evan Vossen, one of three Western Canadian players for 黑料不打烊, restored the Redmen lead.

听

They clung to that slim margin until collapsing in the final minute of the game.

听

The Golden Bears struck once again with the man advantage, pulling their goalie for a 6-on-4 advantage in skaters and knotting the score at 4-4 when Ryan unleashed a laser beam wrist shot from the face-off dot that sizzled past Morin with 37 seconds to play, giving the 842 fans in attendance the impression they were going to see an overtime period.

听

But, with less than 10 seconds remaining on the clock, Greg Gardner, a sophomore from Cold Lake, Alta., won a faceoff for the Golden Bears in their own zone and rushed up ice on a 2-on-1 with Fecho.听 From the right-side faceoff circle, Gardner threw a backhand pass towards the front of the goal where Fecho redirected the puckinto the top half of the net with a scant 0.7 seconds remaining on the clock.

听

Sophomore goalie Real Cyr of Victoire, Sask., made 27 saves for the win, while Morin, a second-year netminder from St. Georges de Beauce, Que., made 30 stops and saw his record drop to 12-4-1 overall.

听

黑料不打烊 is now 0-3 lifetime against the Golden Bears but will have a shot at redemption on Tuesday when the two teams meet again to conclude their two- game exhibition series.听 The contest will be broadcast in audio on the internet () at 9:00 pm Eastern.

After playing Alberta, 黑料不打烊 will bus over to Vancouver and play the UBC Thunderbirds on January 2 and 3.
