[0:10] Spike is hammered down by Ali [0:15] Park. All right. [0:28] See you later. [0:42] Heat. [1:09] Heat. [1:13] On a blustery night, winds whip around [1:15] the town that 3M built and old rivals go [1:18] toeto toe on the Oakdale Ice. Tonight, [1:21] two teams looking for their first [1:22] conference points of the season renew a [1:25] Metro East rivalry at Tartan Arena. It's [1:28] Assembly Spartans and the Tartan Titans [1:30] on Suburban Community Channels TV19 and [1:32] Towns Square Television's game of the [1:35] week. With Kyle Warner, I'm Alex West at [1:37] our crew today here in Oakdale. David [1:39] Skyler and Joe Sigourney in the truck. [1:42] Our great crew otherwise in the arena. [1:44] Chris Stozman, Seth Zabble, Liam Spain, [1:46] Michael Kuhei, and Ben Brandon. Carl, [1:49] teams tonight taking to the ice. [1:51] Assembly Spartans to our left, the [1:52] Tartan Titans to our right. Having [1:54] dropped three of the last four looking [1:56] to get back on the winning side of the [1:57] ledger. [1:58] >> Yeah, that's right, Alex. And it's so [2:00] good to be with you here tonight. got a [2:02] couple teams who have been on the wrong [2:04] side of the winning column so far. But [2:05] the good news is that there's still a [2:07] lot of season left and there's still a [2:09] lot of opportunities to make a case that [2:11] you are capable of making a section [2:13] tournament run. Eight games into this [2:15] season, it does feel early, but we are [2:18] already a third of the way through the [2:20] 202526 [2:22] season. What stands out to you so far [2:24] across boys high school hockey? [2:26] It stands out that you still have a lot [2:28] of the as we continue to work out some [2:31] some audio things. It it stands out that [2:33] a lot of the blueb blood teams are where [2:36] they are always, but you have you got [2:38] you you also have some new threats from [2:40] around the metro and up north. And you [2:42] think about how both of the champions [2:44] this last year were from basically the [2:46] North Dakota border. I mean, it's crazy [2:49] how you can have a year where the [2:51] champions are are from up north, the [2:53] metro, North Dakota. I mean, it's always [2:55] a great time for high school hockey in [2:57] Minnesota. [2:58] >> Not a great drive in the north metro [3:00] today or in the northern part of the [3:02] state of Minnesota. Two teams relatively [3:05] close to each other, but today with the [3:06] weather conditions being what they are, [3:08] a drive today that for the Simly [3:10] Spartans very difficult making it to [3:12] Oakdale tonight. [3:13] >> Yeah, to say the very least. This is one [3:16] of those driving days that you never [3:18] ever want to see, but sometimes you just [3:20] got to go a little bit slower and and [3:23] real give yourself a little bit more [3:24] space and everything will be fine. [3:26] >> The Simley Spartans to our left. They [3:28] will have a starting goalender tonight [3:30] as it will be Everett Haye who gets the [3:32] start tonight for the Simy Spartans. [3:38] >> And meanwhile for the Tartan Titans, the [3:40] junior Nathan Maguire gets a start. had [3:42] a career record of 15/19 and0 across [3:44] three seasons on the varsity rest uh [3:46] varsity roster. A record of 20 and 0 [3:49] against him last season, giving up just [3:51] one goal across two starts, making a [3:53] total of 66 saves on 67 shots faster. [3:58] >> Yeah, Alex Maguire has been playing in [4:01] almost every game for Tartan. [4:04] >> Spartans and the Titans coming up next [4:06] after the national anthem. [4:10] early light. [4:13] What a proud [4:15] we [4:17] at the twilight last gleaming [4:22] whose broad stripes and bright stars [4:26] through the perilous [4:30] or the grand [4:32] we [4:34] were so galling [4:39] and [4:43] the [4:45] sing [4:50] the night [4:52] that was still there. [4:56] Oh s [4:59] our single [5:07] for the land [5:12] and the [5:20] >> and away we go from Tartan Arena in [5:23] Oakdale, Minnesota. the Simley Spartans [5:26] of Inenver Heights and the Tartan Titans [5:28] of Oakdale, Minnesota. With Kyle Warner, [5:31] I'm Alex Wested here on Suburban [5:32] Community Channels TV 19 and Town Square [5:35] Television's game of the week for both [5:37] these teams. Kyle, a fast start, what [5:39] both are looking for tonight. [5:40] >> And some great goalender play is also [5:42] what they're looking for. Tartan North, [5:43] they've been with Nathan Magcguire [5:45] basically all season. But on the other [5:47] side for Similey, Everett Haye, he's [5:49] been splitting time with Unlesby. And [5:52] tonight, Simley's going with Hay. Hey, [5:54] winless in his last two appearances. His [5:57] last December the 9th, giving up four [5:59] goals on 45 shots faced against the [6:02] Hastings Raiders. One career decision [6:04] against the Tartan Titans. It was last [6:06] season where he gave up three goals on [6:09] 30 shots faced. [6:12] Meanwhile, you heard the line on Nathan [6:14] Maguire. They've written him a lot this [6:16] season. Same two a year ago for the [6:18] Tartan Air Force Blue and Silver. [6:20] They'll need to do so again here as we [6:22] head to the tournament season in the [6:24] month of December. [6:27] >> And now Tarton, one last moment of of [6:31] brotherhood in the corner of the rink [6:34] before the starters take to center ice. [6:39] It is time for some hockey here on a [6:41] less than ideal weather night. But [6:43] perfect conditions inside Tartan Arena. [6:46] And in spite of that less than ideal [6:48] weather conditions, it's a pretty good [6:49] crowd here tonight at Tartan Arena. [6:51] Hopefully where you're watching, we have [6:53] a nice warm beverage in hand. Buck is [6:55] down. We're underway. Campbell wins a [6:56] face off for the Titans. And play begins [6:58] tonight at Tartan Arena in Oakdale, [7:01] Minnesota. [7:03] Similey back to the puck up the end [7:05] boards. Panic tries to get it out. Can't [7:07] do so. Held in by Martin at the line. [7:08] Shot on. Saved by Haye on the first shot [7:11] of the goal for the game for the Tartan [7:13] Titans. And Alex, we saw a lot of [7:15] physicality at the end of the JV game. [7:17] Will that spill over into this varsity [7:19] game? [7:20] >> Carl, you and I were talking as Hay [7:21] holds on to the puck there. You and I [7:23] were talking before the game. It's not [7:25] really a big Metro East rivalry between [7:28] the Tartan Titans and the Simley [7:30] Spartans. Not comparative to say what [7:32] would be a Simy and a South St. Paul or [7:34] a Two Rivers for that matter, but still [7:36] very physical that end of the JV game. [7:38] >> A lot of extracurricular activity to say [7:41] the very least. Couple of ejections [7:46] and nothing too dirty to start tonight [7:49] so far. Parent can't handle the pass. [7:52] Comes all the way back here to the near [7:53] side for Jorgensson. He'll ring it [7:56] around further for Waltman for Simley as [7:58] the Spartans will try to take it back [7:59] out. Flinging it out of the zone down [8:01] the length of the ice it goes into the [8:03] Tartan end and icing is called. A [8:05] faceoff coming back in the Simley end. [8:07] Just 49 seconds elaps here in period [8:09] number one. [8:11] Tartan. They're coming off of a win [8:13] against St. Paul two to one December [8:15] 13th, their last game. It's been a [8:18] minute Saturday at home. They scored [8:20] twice in the first period and they did [8:22] not look back. [8:24] Titans have struggled in the month of [8:26] December. Just four goals scored now in [8:28] the three contests they have played. [8:31] Shot from Jorgensson from the blue line. [8:33] Whistles wide to the right of Hay and [8:35] the Titans will hold on and possess. [8:37] shot through off the pipe with the shot [8:39] of Quintinar and Jorgensson will fling [8:42] it down and low. Moland in the corner [8:44] trying to send a pass out in front. Hits [8:46] off the skate there of Hughesman, but [8:48] the Titans still holding the puck in the [8:49] zone. Will send it back down. [8:52] Hughman tries to clear it out. Gets it [8:54] as far as center. It's taken over there [8:56] by Rosenthal and right back into the [8:58] zone. Go the Tartan Titans. Eller off [9:01] the boards, rung around all the way back [9:02] down the length of the ice and another [9:04] icing call early. A minute 30 played and [9:07] right now the Spartans having a hard [9:08] time getting out of their own zone. [9:10] >> Man, you could have had earplugs and [9:12] noiseancelling headphones on and you [9:14] still could have heard that iron hit. [9:20] >> Face off to the right of Hey, Joshua [9:23] Markfort on it for the Tartan Titans. [9:26] Opposed opposite side by an Faceoff one [9:29] by the Spartans. They'll try to carry [9:31] out through center. Schwab brings it [9:33] around the end boards behind the cage of [9:35] Nathan Maguire. It comes to a stop. [9:37] Eller stops it behind. Titans will try [9:39] to get to it first. Colton Tesser is the [9:41] one on the puck. And out of the breakout [9:43] go the Titans. Joshua Mark for through [9:46] center ice. [9:46] >> Eli Schwab not the biggest guy in the [9:48] world for Spartan, but he's been very [9:51] fast moving on this shift. [9:54] >> Schwab limited last season on the Simy [9:56] roster. Played just five games. He's [9:58] been in every game so far this season [10:00] for Simley. [10:02] Puck taken over. Shot through off the [10:04] mask of Maguire and stung to the far [10:06] corner. Tesser tries to clear the puck [10:09] out of the zone. They'll hold it into [10:10] that far corner. It's taken over once [10:12] more by Schwab behind off the end [10:14] boards. Tartan looking to break out. [10:16] Here's Mark Fort all the way back down [10:17] the length of the ice. And this time [10:19] there'll be a face off in Tartan's [10:20] defensive zone as icing is called with [10:23] 1438 left to go in period number one. [10:25] Shots on goal 4-1 in favor of the [10:27] homestanding Tartan Titans. [10:39] Face off to left of Meguire. [10:42] It's one back cleanly [10:44] on the play by Campbell. Titans will try [10:47] to get out of the zone. Rutherford [10:50] try to carry it further, but a hand pass [10:51] is called and another face off back in [10:53] the Titan defensive zone. [10:57] Seven days left until Christmas comes. [11:00] And you got to imagine that a first [11:02] period lead is on the list for both of [11:04] these teams right now. [11:06] >> Both teams in the early part of this [11:07] season, eight games played for both. [11:09] Have scored nine times in the first [11:11] period. They have both given up 10 [11:13] goals. [11:14] >> Stick went flying. [11:15] >> Held on to by Magguire. [11:20] >> Another faceoff back in the Titan [11:22] defensive zone. 1423 left to go in a [11:24] game that hasn't had much flow on both [11:27] ends of the ice so far. [11:32] Face off to the left of Maguire. [11:35] On it again is Anic. One cleanly on the [11:39] defensive side by Charlie Campbell. Sent [11:41] in further it's rung down by Waltman as [11:44] the Titans will break it back out as far [11:45] as center. First to it is Hughesman for [11:48] the Spartans. Love down by Jorgensson. [11:50] They'll go DDD in the defensive zone [11:52] here for Alex Bennis. Back behind Cruz [11:55] Jorgensson. [11:56] >> That was a nice pass there to set up [11:58] this breakout. [12:00] >> Rutherford into the attacking zone. [12:02] He'll cut it back. Tries to go for a [12:04] pass out in front. Body played well by [12:06] the Spartans as we'll try to break out [12:08] now for Wallace. Puck back into the [12:10] Spartan defensive zone. [12:12] >> Good shift so far from number 44 in [12:14] white, Alex Bennis. [12:16] >> One of the bigger guys out on their on [12:18] the ice. And you can see his stature is [12:21] coming into play. [12:23] >> Bennis right there made a good defensive [12:24] play holding on to it by Maguire. Bennis [12:27] a big 6'5 215. Hufta [12:30] >> as a junior for the Tartan Titans. [12:33] Incredible. [12:33] >> He's not going to get bigger, is he? [12:35] >> Well, you wonder. 23 penalty minutes [12:37] through seven games exceeds the eight [12:40] total that he had in 21 games played a [12:42] year ago. [12:44] Face off to the left of Maguire. There's [12:46] one by Rackel. Clearing attempt doesn't [12:49] clear the zone. Off the stick of [12:51] Eastston Rosenthal [12:53] off the stick of Moland back as far as [12:55] center. Simley will take over there and [12:57] Shrifer. Spartans back with possession. [13:01] They'll retreat to their own defensive [13:02] zone. Trying to make a play on the puck, [13:04] but a pass through. Finds space now for [13:06] Tarton as Rackles knocked down. Parent [13:09] picks it up in the corner back for [13:11] Moland off the stick of big number 33 [13:14] Gunnar Barrett as Barrett will go back [13:16] into the defensive zone. Barrett was a [13:18] junior varsity player who played in the [13:20] earlier iteration of this game tonight. [13:23] Now playing well in the defensive zone. [13:27] Schwab try to clear it back out. Set a [13:30] pass the blue line. It's knocked down [13:32] defensively here by Rosenthal as he [13:35] slows down behind looking to restart the [13:36] breakout. 1243 left to go. First period [13:39] on the give and go. Quickly they will go [13:41] into the zone. Parent Parin provided [13:43] some pressure but a good clear out on [13:44] the backside made by Milner for Simley [13:47] and the Spartans will carry back through [13:48] center. [13:49] >> Joshua Markfort was almost hit an open [13:53] ice. Good heads up play to get the puck [13:55] off his stick. [13:58] >> Back through center. Martin will send it [14:02] further along now for Latrell. [14:05] The skate of James trying to go for the [14:07] backhand. knocks it down with another [14:08] stick and a big hit delivered by Ernie [14:10] Fitzgerald and a hand pass is called [14:12] resulting in a faceoff with 129 to go in [14:15] the first period. [14:16] >> Speaking of open ice hits, we finally [14:17] got our first one of the game. [14:23] >> It's the freshman Ernie Fitzgerald [14:26] laying the lumber in the open ice. [14:27] Looked pretty clean to me. Yeah, nice [14:30] work. [14:31] >> If you're going to teach a kid how to [14:32] hit and how to deliver a hit, that's I [14:34] mean, Carl, that's textbook right there. [14:36] appearances in four straight games for [14:38] Fitzgerald. Now make it five. His [14:40] birthday year is 2011. It was the year I [14:42] graduated high school, which yes, is [14:43] indeed terrifying. It's also terrifying [14:46] to have specific memories from the year [14:48] 2011. Even if for me that was just [14:50] fourth grade. [14:53] >> Martin, the Titans will knock it down to [14:55] the red line. Sent in off the skate of [14:58] James and stung into the corner by Haye. [15:02] James tries to get around his man. Can't [15:04] do so. Spartans ring it around to the [15:05] near boards where Bennis gets to it [15:07] first. Bennis back down and low and [15:10] deeper. Milner off to the far side. [15:12] Chipped out but held in well. Good [15:14] spinning chance there by Mark for. He'll [15:16] send it down and low as the Titans will [15:17] get a line change off here in the early [15:20] part of the first period. This one down [15:21] the length of the ice off the stick of [15:23] Kennedy. And icing again is called with [15:25] 1126 to go in period number one. [15:32] Titans a year ago, not a year ago, in [15:34] their last game on Tuesday against the [15:36] St. Paul Co-op did not allow a single [15:39] shot on goal in the first period win [15:42] against St. Paul. Carl, you mentioned [15:43] they scored twice. Well, it's easy to [15:45] score twice when you're not giving up [15:46] shots on the other end. [15:47] >> Absolutely not. Yeah, that is not the [15:50] case tonight. Both teams have had [15:52] chances here in the first handful of [15:54] minutes. [15:56] >> On the ring, knocked down by Campbell. [15:58] Tried to make the play alive. Jorgensson [16:00] will tie up for it. This puck is lost [16:03] back into the skates of Huseman down in [16:05] the defensive zone and rung all the way [16:07] back behind. Noah Schwab to it in the [16:10] corner for Simley. Pushed along further [16:12] for Shrier and further. [16:14] >> These teams have had 320 days to think [16:17] about their last meeting where Tartan [16:19] came away with a 3 to1 victory. [16:22] >> Rutherford will knock it down. Metro [16:24] East Conference rivals largely play each [16:26] other twice a year. The lone exception [16:28] to that, Mamemidi does not. Hill Murray [16:31] does not and St. Thomas Academy do not [16:34] play every conference opponent in a home [16:36] and home each year. [16:38] >> And this was a realignment year for the [16:40] Minnesota State High School League and a [16:42] lot of schools switching levels of 2A or [16:46] 1A. Hastings being one of those schools [16:48] dropping down from from 2 to one. [16:52] >> Puck all the way down to the defensive [16:54] zone for Simley Hay will freeze it. [16:56] Faceoff upcoming with 1018 to go in [16:58] period number one. Tartan is another one [17:00] of those teams that did make that drop [17:02] as well. [17:02] >> And you think about how big that could [17:04] be. I mean, we made a news package back [17:07] in the spring about Hastings. They're [17:09] one of the bigger players in class 1A [17:12] now. And I mean, a lot of people [17:14] consider the only Minnesota State High [17:16] School League tournament to be double A [17:18] because of the larger crowds and [17:20] whatnot, but I mean, how big is that for [17:23] those communities that may have a much [17:25] bigger chance now to see their kids play [17:26] at the X? There was a penalty on the [17:28] play. It'll be a tripping minor. The [17:30] time of it will be 653. [17:33] That'll give the Spartans the first [17:34] power play on the night. [17:37] >> Pardon me. The the Grand Casino Arena. [17:40] Still getting used to that. I'll [17:41] >> tell you what, Carl. When St. Thomas [17:43] played North Dakota earlier this year, I [17:45] had to say Grand Casino. The amount of [17:46] time that I was thinking about that was [17:48] a lot longer than I'd like to admit. [17:50] >> Hard to get that mental memory to go [17:52] away. Time for our first power play of [17:54] the game. [17:56] Kieran Moan to the box. Two for tripping [17:59] at 6 of 53. Spartans on the power play [18:02] their first of the night. First for [18:03] either team as Kyle mentioned. Parent [18:06] wins a puck back for Tarton. [18:08] Parent rings it around near side looking [18:10] for Martin. Rael comes down from the [18:12] blue line and will clear it back as far [18:14] as center. Spartans in the power play [18:16] went two for four against Albert Lee on [18:18] Tuesday. Both goals were late though [18:19] when the game was at 7 to1 and then [18:21] seven to two in favor of the Albert Lee [18:23] Tigers. zero power play goals in their [18:25] last two road games after a perfect game [18:27] where they went two for two at Drake [18:29] Arena at St. Paul Academy. [18:33] >> Tartan able to clear the offensive zone. [18:35] Power play is [18:38] >> almost halfway over for Simley. [18:40] >> Miller behind out of the corner. Try to [18:43] feather a pass through. Hits the skates [18:44] of Pavle cleared all the way down the [18:46] length of the ice. That power play [18:48] almost half over as Carl mentioned. A [18:50] minute and seven left to go. And a [18:52] penalty kill for the Titans has been [18:54] good. They've been two for two against [18:56] St. Paul on Tuesday and four for four in [18:59] their last penalty killing attempts. [19:01] Last time they allowed a power play [19:02] goal, December the fourth against [19:03] Hastings. [19:06] >> Alex Bennis. Another good play on [19:08] defense there. Defenders in the right [19:11] spot so far on this power play for [19:13] Simley. [19:15] >> Another shot through. Cleared out by [19:17] Mlen. Benny Mlen will look to have a [19:20] chance on cut out on the play and Daniel [19:22] O'Shea comes back to it. Sends it out as [19:24] far as center. 32 seconds left to go on [19:26] this power play for the Simy Spartans. [19:28] 836 to go in the opening period of play [19:31] into the attacking zone. O'Shea leaves [19:34] it off there. Tries to go back across. [19:36] Hits off of the defense and off the [19:38] goalender Maguire into the netting. And [19:40] another faceoff upcoming in the Tartan [19:42] defensive zone. 22 seconds remaining on [19:43] the man advantage. 829 to go in the [19:45] first. [19:47] You see on the replay here how that this [19:49] puck got sent up to the the uh the the [19:52] blue room up here at at Tartan Arena. [19:55] Very nice heated space for those of us [19:58] who didn't pack our coats. [20:00] >> Terms of hockey arenas in the state of [20:02] Minnesota. Tartan Arena is one of the [20:04] more temperate ones. [20:07] We'll say [20:07] >> very underrated. I will say [20:09] >> I would say so. [20:11] >> Blue room was built in 2002 but it's [20:13] added some renovations over the years. [20:15] Puck's cleared all the way down. [20:17] >> Oh, I hope it's been heated the whole [20:18] time. [20:18] >> Oh, that is the hope, isn't it? Hope in [20:20] the prayer. Eller will try to ring it [20:23] around. Sends it back behind for Wolman. [20:26] He'll start the breakout. Long pass. [20:28] This will be a power play icing. [20:30] >> And now this really isn't good for [20:32] Simley because if Tartan wins this [20:34] faceoff, they're right back to five on [20:35] five in their own zone. [20:38] >> But now, I mean, at this point, consider [20:39] the power play to be over because no [20:41] matter what, they're getting their extra [20:43] man back in 3 seconds. Cole Leech was on [20:45] your screen. Ninth season as head coach [20:47] of the Tartan Titans. A longtime member [20:50] of the Tartan Area Youth Hockey [20:52] Association. It's really built up this [20:54] program. Tesser shot through. Save made [20:56] by Hay. Penalty clock expires. Probably [20:59] a best case scenario for Simley as a [21:01] whistle draws. Another face off in their [21:03] defensive zone. [21:03] >> One thing I'm loving from a announcers [21:05] point of view is these tartan jerseys. [21:07] They got big easy to read lettering for [21:10] the uh the last names and the numbers. [21:13] The high contrast name plates and [21:15] numbers highly underrated. Shot that [21:17] went into Rutherford. Another backhanded [21:20] opportunity there taken away by Sim. [21:22] >> Rutherford is in a lot of pain as he [21:23] skates to the bench, [21:25] >> but somehow Tartan's able to keep the [21:27] zone here. [21:28] >> Tesser shot through to the corner. [21:30] Campbell's first on the half. Campbell [21:32] knocked off of his stick. Elner tried to [21:34] clear it out for Simley. Pavl sent low. [21:37] Mlen couldn't find it off of his skates. [21:39] Spins around is able to find it there on [21:40] the wall. Taken over now by Simley as [21:43] the Spartans will carry back from their [21:45] defensive zone. Long lead pass perfectly [21:47] ahead for Kennedy. Race for the puck is [21:49] on in the corner. Kennedy rings it [21:51] around back to the far side and it's [21:53] held in there by Shrier for Simley. [21:56] Back further along the half wall [21:58] Campbell fighting for it for the Titans [22:01] then left further behind for East [22:03] Rosenthal. [22:05] Cleared out by Tesser. [22:08] Back to the puck comes Mlen. further [22:11] ahead. I like that pass. Great play by [22:13] Pavle into the attacking zone for Mlen. [22:16] >> Mlen trying to create some space with a [22:18] reverse check there. Mlen will fight for [22:21] it. Still possession held in low by [22:22] Rack. Parent sends it down. Mlen has it. [22:25] Shot through, held on to by Haye and [22:27] he'll freeze it for a faceoff. 652 left [22:30] to go in period number one. [22:34] >> Getting into the final stretch here of [22:35] the first period. And looks like Tartan [22:38] after they survived that penalty kill, [22:40] they've been knocking on the doorstep [22:41] here even though we got even shots on [22:43] goal. [22:45] >> Titan penalty kill this season was at [22:47] 75%. We mentioned their hot streak as of [22:50] late. Spartans will have four on two [22:52] here through neutral ice into the [22:54] attacking zone but off sides. And when [22:56] you're four on two into the zone, [22:58] offside's not the place you want to be. [23:02] >> Another faceoff will result at neutral [23:04] ice. [23:08] Carter Martin [23:10] >> good last season with a goal. Four [23:12] assists a year ago. Hasn't produced [23:14] quite yet this year, but a lot of time [23:17] left in the regular season here. Face [23:19] off at neutral. It's one back by [23:21] Remacle. Cleared back through center. [23:24] Gathered in by Wolman and dumped out of [23:26] the zone. And once again, Simley [23:28] offside. Our linesman can only shout so [23:30] loud. took him about until the fifth off [23:33] before the whistle was blown. [23:35] >> Good acoustics here. [23:37] >> Yeah, I hope our officials are tartan [23:39] arena. [23:39] >> I hope our officials are yelling from [23:40] the diaphragm and not from the neck. [23:44] >> Mackel on the face off [23:47] >> as Tartan puts it back into their own [23:48] defensive zone. Martin Latrell into the [23:51] corner for sent ahead for Parent on the [23:53] far side wall. [23:55] Good puck battle one by Fishbach. She'll [23:58] force the Titans back further. Betrayal. [24:01] Another big hit by the Simley Spartans. [24:04] And Carell here on the near side half [24:06] wall. [24:08] Held in by Fitzgerald. Put further [24:10] along. Good play made by Mlen as he's [24:12] able to create some space carrying it [24:14] back into his own defensive zone. [24:17] Mlen will circle. 603 to go. Shots level [24:19] at seven apiece. Martin [24:22] bothered defensively by Schwab for [24:24] Simley forcing the turnover. Latrell too [24:27] far for his stick. He'll cut back. [24:29] trying to ring it around the boards here [24:30] to the near side. Schwab rubbed out by [24:33] Carter Martin. He'll tussle for it in [24:35] the corner. Martin back to the wall on [24:37] the near side. Flung all the way back [24:39] out and down the length of the ice. And [24:41] icing is called with 540 left to go in [24:44] period number one. And a faceoff here in [24:47] the defensive zone for the Titans. It's [24:49] been a close matchup relatively speaking [24:50] here tonight. How's it been over the [24:52] last 10? [24:54] >> Not good, Alex to say the very least for [24:56] Simil. I mean, it has been it has been [25:00] nine consecutive victories for for [25:03] Tartan, and a lot of the games have been [25:06] close, but a lot of them have not [25:07] either. In recent times, we've not had [25:11] many one-goal separations. [25:14] >> James trying to clear the puck out. [25:16] Knocked back down. Spartans will take it [25:18] over. Immel had it for Simley. Forced [25:21] off the puck briefly by Mark Fort for [25:23] Tarton. And now we'll come back out [25:25] through to center ice. [25:28] Shear further ahead. James will dump it [25:30] into the opposite corner. Eller on the [25:33] puck first for Simley. Gathered up here [25:35] by Eml and the Spartans able to get it [25:38] back out as far as center before it's [25:39] knocked down by Alex Bennis. Cruz [25:42] Jorgensson tried to send it ahead. James [25:44] was spaced out into the attacking zone. [25:46] James teed up a drive into the glove of [25:49] the keeper in Everett Haye. And there'll [25:51] be a faceoff in Simley's defensive zone. [25:54] And to to clarify on our stat sheet [25:56] here, Tartan's won six of the last [25:59] handful of games, but Tartan has won [26:01] five consecutive. It has been quite a [26:04] while. December 15th of 22 was the last [26:07] time the Spartans came away with a [26:08] victory in this matchup. [26:10] >> Just three years in real time, but [26:14] as you mentioned, the [26:16] >> when you look at that schedule and that [26:19] tartan is on there, you can only [26:20] remember what's happened. [26:23] Ooh, breakaway created here on the right [26:26] side. Wing for Shri for shot ON SAVE. [26:28] THE FOLLOWUP GOES RIGHT towards goal and [26:30] another great defensive play made on the [26:32] backside by Gunner Barrett. Just could [26:34] not get that last touch. Let's see if [26:36] Tartan can capitalize on this momentum. [26:38] >> Rutherford for Pamel into the slot. Save [26:40] by Haye. [26:41] >> How did he save that? [26:45] >> Was all by himself in the slot. [26:48] >> Icing is called here. A great save on [26:51] the tart end by Nathan Maguire. And [26:54] another great save by Everett Haye for [26:56] Simley. [27:02] So Simley got a chance on this first [27:04] rebound, but it's rebound number two [27:06] that they really wanted. Just couldn't [27:09] finish. [27:12] Rackel on the draw for Tartan. Fish back [27:14] on it for Simley. Face off one by [27:16] Rackel. Parent. A nice move. shot [27:18] through traffic and another save made by [27:21] Haye. [27:22] >> And as it stands right now, these are [27:24] the two bottom teams in the Metro East, [27:26] but at this point that a win is [27:29] necessary tonight for the good vibes [27:32] heading into the heat of the season. [27:36] >> South St. Paul will be the next opponent [27:38] for Tarton. That'll be on Saturday here [27:40] at Tartan Arena. Meanwhile, Simley will [27:42] not play again until January the 3rd at [27:45] West Tonka. [27:47] And two weekends from now, Tartan, [27:49] they're going to be going up to North [27:51] Dakota to play in the Ralph Englestead [27:53] Classic against Thief River Falls in [27:55] Krookton. [27:57] One of three arenas named after Ralph [27:59] Engle. [28:01] One was the original. The second is one [28:03] that currently stands in Grand Forks. [28:05] The other is in Thief River Falls, close [28:07] to the Art of Cat plan. [28:10] >> The more you know. [28:12] Martin at neutralized for the Titans. [28:14] Will reset. He'll go D to D right back [28:17] from Bennis. [28:19] Further ahead for Parent. Mlen knocks it [28:22] into the defensive zone for Simley. The [28:24] Spartans will complete a line change and [28:26] they'll look to restart. Titans almost [28:27] with too many, but they'll carry it back [28:29] into the attacking zone. [28:32] Push to the right side for Kennedy. [28:34] Kennedy trying to outskate his man. [28:36] Couldn't do so. It'll be Immel in the [28:39] corner holding the puck to the boards. [28:41] Overcomes Carter Martin. He'll try to [28:44] keep it out of space and separates it [28:46] for Joshua Markford for Tartan behind [28:48] the boards. Three minutes to play here [28:49] in the first period. Shots even at nine [28:51] apiece. And the opening stands of [28:53] tonight in Oakton. [28:55] >> Nice stick there from Campbell. [28:59] Mark will gather. He'll dump it down. [29:01] James tries to cut the puck off at the [29:03] blue line. Better play to cut it off by [29:05] Cruz Jorgensson defensively at the blue [29:07] line. Forcing Simley back. [29:10] held in at the zone then cleared back [29:12] out through center. James unable to [29:14] handle the pass. Jorgensson gathers puts [29:18] it ahead further for Sh. Sh in [29:20] backhanded looking for Bennis open in [29:22] the slot but a good stick tie up by [29:24] Shrier for the Spartans. [29:27] Bennis shot save made by Haye. Another [29:30] shot picked up by Jorgensson but blocked [29:32] out in front by Kennedy. [29:34] >> Kennedy skate in the right place at the [29:36] right time. [29:38] Campbell tried to carry it behind. [29:40] Couldn't do anything with it as Wolman [29:43] was able to clear it back out briefly. [29:45] Now flings it down the glass all the way [29:47] into the Titan defensive zone. A minute [29:49] 59 left to go. Another icing here in the [29:52] first period. Shots on goal. 10-9 on the [29:54] video board here with a minute 59 to go [29:57] in period number one. [30:00] >> Yeah, Tartan just one shot of an [30:02] advantage so far. This game has been as [30:05] even as it gets. [30:08] You could say the same too looking at [30:10] the statistics for both of these teams [30:12] this year. Both giving up about three [30:14] and a half goals per game for each game. [30:18] Both giving up 4.75 goals per game. But [30:21] take those numbers with a grain of salt [30:23] as they played St. Thomas Academy and [30:25] Hill Murray both already. [30:28] Rutherford shot saved by Hay into the [30:32] corner. Powell is there first. Pabble [30:34] walking towards the slot, skating [30:36] through everybody, but a good stick on [30:38] the last effort by Schwab. Sends it back [30:40] around. [30:40] >> Simile's kind of been collapsing in like [30:42] a shell here on defense in the last [30:45] couple of minutes. They just let [30:46] Rutherford basically skate right to the [30:48] top of the slot. Now, finally, Simley [30:51] able to get some breathing room, but [30:52] watch out for the speed. Noah Schwab [30:55] also almost went after that. [30:57] >> Rutherford gathers a pass, sends it [30:59] towards Hey, he holds on for another [31:01] face off. It's interesting, Carl, you [31:03] mentioned that shell that Simley is kind [31:06] of sitting in here so far almost making [31:07] Tarton skate more in the offensive part [31:10] of this first period trying to tire him [31:12] out for the period of the long change. [31:15] >> And you saw it there. I mean, Simley was [31:18] collapsing into their own goal, but the [31:20] second they got a piece of breathing [31:21] room, they almost got a breakaway off of [31:23] it. [31:23] >> Pairing a shot off the dot, held on to [31:26] by [31:26] >> and I think we got a couple players here [31:27] that got their helmet stuck together. [31:31] Ramacle for Tartan and I believe that's [31:34] number 16. [31:36] That is Riley Anage for Simley. [31:40] >> Both will be on the faceoff here once [31:42] again. [31:42] >> That only happened to me one time in my [31:44] youth hockey career and it was not the [31:47] worst thing but also wasn't the best [31:49] >> for fan on the shot picked up by Martin. [31:51] Another shot from the right dot held on [31:54] to by Haye and Hay now starting to see [31:56] pucks and bunches. It seems like so many [31:58] things need to go wrong for for two of [32:00] these cages to get caught together. But [32:02] then you realize you got two players [32:03] taking a face off. Their heads are right [32:04] there and makes sense. [32:07] >> This time the face off to the left of [32:09] Hay Parent is on it. [32:13] Some words from our linesman tonight. [32:15] Onik on it for the Simly Spartans. Clean [32:17] faceoff win. Another good one by the [32:19] Tartan Titans. They've been great on the [32:21] dot tonight. Martin redirection out in [32:22] front for Rackl. Doesn't find the [32:24] receiver. for Mackle around the horn. [32:27] They'll go. Latrell walks it back. [32:30] Maguire shot locked out in front as it [32:32] was Mlen rather who tried to feather [32:34] that shot on. [32:35] >> That deflection was the best chance the [32:37] Tartans had all game so far. Can they [32:39] get another one before the horn? [32:42] >> Mack back behind. Martin saves it from [32:44] Simley. Possession. There's that shell [32:45] again. Latrell off to the far side. [32:48] >> Similey is just backed up here. They got [32:50] four players standing within a hula hoop [32:52] of each other. [32:53] >> Martin a drive. Rebound kicked out by [32:55] Haye. Spartans will clear it back out [32:57] through center with 20 seconds to play. [32:59] Mlen in pursuit for the Titans. [33:01] >> Three Spartans tired. Get a change. 13 [33:05] seconds. [33:05] >> Mlen with a drive. [33:08] >> Trying to kick it BACK OUT RIGHT IN [33:09] FRONT. SAVE BY HEY. [33:12] >> OH, that could have been disastrous. [33:19] >> That was like a little Matrix moment of [33:21] it getting picked out of the air. [33:25] First the drive from Mlen and then right [33:27] into the skate of Hughesman [33:29] >> and then Raml it was put it was tossed [33:32] up to him like a like a slow pitch s [33:35] softball. [33:37] Don't mind if I do put it right on the [33:39] ice and fired it in. [33:41] >> Face off one by Tartan Jorgensson into [33:43] the rafters here [33:44] >> as the echo bellows around Tartan Arena. [33:48] >> What did we say about 7 minutes ago? [33:49] Good acoustics here at Tartan Arena. [33:52] When I thought when when I was thinking [33:53] about pucks going off the iron tonight, [33:55] that's not exactly what I had in mind. [33:58] >> Face off to the right of Hey, Mark Fort [34:00] on the draw for Dartton Shrier on it for [34:03] Simley. [34:05] >> Not a lot to be able to do with 4 [34:07] seconds. One cleanly by Mark for Jorgens [34:09] back. Shot to the far side. Off the end [34:12] boards it goes. And the horn will sound. [34:14] At one point the shots on goal. Nine to [34:16] nine here in this first period of play. [34:19] Eight shots in a row for the Titans to [34:21] end the first period, but still thanks [34:24] to the efforts of one Everett Haye were [34:26] scoreless after 17 minutes of play. [34:30] Yeah, we're going to go into the locker [34:31] room all tied up and that's really a win [34:34] for both teams, but especially for Simil [34:36] after how they finished their show. [34:56] When I look around this room, I see a [34:58] fighting team of brave antibodies. But [35:02] the flu is coming in strong, so I won't [35:04] sugarcoat it. I need each one of you on [35:07] your aame. The good news is, Anthony, [35:11] the human body we've been tasked to [35:13] protect, just got his flu shot, which [35:16] supplied us with brand new gear to [35:18] defend against the flu. That's right. [35:20] We've upgraded our game with this new [35:22] equipment. They give you a little extra [35:24] boost. So, let's go fight for Anthony, [35:27] for his mom, his co-workers, that nice [35:30] lady Patricia that lives down the street [35:32] with the cute dog. In the face of viral [35:35] adversity, we make Anthony thrive so he [35:38] can protect himself and the people he [35:40] loves most. Are you with me?

[36:05] >> Not cool. [36:07] >> Promise you won't vape, Emma. It can [36:09] lead to a lifelong addiction. And we [36:11] can't be friends if your lungs collapse. [36:14] >> Bogus.

[36:36] >> SO whether it's an unexpected disaster [36:38] or the world's most evilst cat bent on [36:41] destroying all dogooders, [36:43] >> destroy all dogooders.

[36:55] >> I never realized that I'd be taking care [36:58] of a 2-year-old and a 9-year-old on my [37:01] own. Sometimes as dads, I I think we're [37:04] too hard on ourselves. We get down on [37:06] ourselves on not being able to, you [37:08] know, we're the providers, but we also [37:10] have to learn to take care of ourselves. [37:13] Self love made me a better dad because I [37:16] realized my worth. [37:19] My daughter Isabella recently had a [37:23] graduation into high school and it was I [37:26] got emotional because I saw pride in her [37:29] eyes. I saw my daughter have have her [37:32] own selflove and I saw the hard work of [37:36] of me being that dad 24/7 transfer to my [37:39] my teenage daughter. [37:43] The word father means means a lot to me [37:46] when I give my love to my children as a [37:50] father. I can see it [37:56] there. I was 16, divorced, remarried [38:00] with the baby, another on the way, and I [38:02] could barely read or write. Getting my [38:04] high school diploma was a catalyst I [38:07] needed. Now I have a bachelor's and [38:09] masters and I became a teacher. When I [38:11] look at all these success stories, I [38:14] cannot help but think it all started by [38:17] getting my high school diploma. [38:18] >> When you graduate, they graduate.

[38:36] It felt like it was something that I've [38:39] always wanted. [38:41] I mean, he's not only my parent, like [38:42] he's like my best friend. [38:49] >> Learn about adopting a teen at [38:51] adoptuskids.org. [39:01] >> I'm here today because of Tanya's [39:04] relentless efforts in trying to get me [39:06] healed. When I came back from the war, I [39:09] became a homeless veteran. I was barely [39:11] hanging on by a thread. The one thing [39:14] that was constant for me was music. [39:17] Music led me to Tanya. Normally with a [39:20] veteran, we think we can solve [39:22] everything. The truth of the matter is [39:24] we cannot. [39:26] >> I just knew that something was [39:27] different. Something was off. I let him [39:30] know that he wasn't alone. There are [39:31] people that loved him. and says, [39:33] "Michael, I know you've got a plan to [39:34] take your life today, but if you give me [39:36] just five more minutes to love you, [39:48] >> Michael has actually taught me what it [39:51] looks like to accept help. [40:05] Gentlemen, let nothing you dismay. [40:12] Christ our [40:17] >> It was 50 years of Tartan hockey in [40:20] 2021. This year it'll be 55. It's been a [40:23] good period for the Tartan Titans out [40:25] shooting Simley 17-9 in the opening [40:28] period, but still no goals so far this [40:30] evening. With Carl Warner, I'm Alex [40:32] Weston. And Carl, the big storyline of [40:34] that first period. Great zone time for [40:36] the Tartan Titans to begin and end that [40:38] opening period. [40:39] >> Absolutely. They came out with the fire. [40:41] It was pretty even in the middle. And [40:42] then the last three minutes of the first [40:44] period, Tartan just felt like they were [40:46] about to unccort three or four of them. [40:48] And Similey lucky to get out unscathed [40:51] >> for the Simy Spartans. Again, both these [40:54] teams in terms of opportunities that [40:56] they've had. Well, here's a good one [40:57] right off the draw. Right. Fitzgerald [40:59] had some good opportunities for that [41:01] middle part of that period. It really [41:03] felt that both of these teams were [41:04] evenly matched. [41:05] >> Yeah. And all you have to look at was [41:07] the shots on goal counter. They went, [41:09] you know, uh, 56 67. Shake the hands. [41:13] 8899. And then finally here, we got 17 [41:16] to9 as the shot counter before we get to [41:19] the second period. [41:22] Another good sequence of shots on goal [41:24] by the Tartan Titans. The entries were [41:26] easy for the Air Force blue and gray. [41:29] And there's that gift right to Remacle. [41:31] But really, Everett Haye has been tested [41:34] a lot. He's been tested not just in [41:36] frequency, but in high danger scoring [41:38] opportunities. He's answered the bell 17 [41:40] times. [41:40] >> And on that one where Ramackel picked it [41:42] out of the air, I guarantee you that is [41:44] what he is thinking about right now as [41:46] he's eating his granola bar in the first [41:48] intermission or maybe an orange slice. I [41:51] I'd be thinking about that one, too. But [41:53] Tartan unfortunate to not be rewarded [41:55] with a goal. Here are intermission [41:57] stats. scoring opportunities just [41:59] slightly in favor of the Tartan Titans, [42:00] but with zone time, you could argue [42:03] that's maybe a little bit heavier in [42:04] favor of the Tartan Titans. Just one [42:06] power play so far. Two-minute minor [42:08] tripping that was issued to Kieran Moan [42:10] about midway through the period. Two [42:12] shots on goal in the power play. So, if [42:14] you count five on five, 17-7 the shots [42:17] on goal in this first period of play. [42:20] Again, we mentioned the last 10 matchups [42:23] between these two teams between Tartan [42:25] and Simley. Metro East Conference [42:27] rivals, but the Titans the better in the [42:30] last five. [42:31] >> Again, you have to go all the way back [42:33] to December of 22 to find a simile [42:37] victory. And then what stands out is of [42:39] course that next game that's 7 to [42:41] nothing Tartan victory and Tartan has [42:43] not looked back since. 63 and one in the [42:47] last 10 meetings. Well, these two teams [42:50] will play again January the 31st at the [42:53] Vet in Inenver Grove Heights. We're [42:55] through 17 minutes a year tonight. Still [42:57] scoreless after that 17 minutes. We'll [42:59] be back for the start of the second [43:00] period in moments here on Suburban [43:02] Community Channels TV19. [43:20] Mom, [43:22] >> did you really need to buy two can [43:23] openers for our emergency kit? [43:26] >> I can't help it. They're two for one. [43:32] >> What's this? [43:34] >> We need to keep our family communication [43:35] plan safe in case of an emergency. [43:38] >> Thanks, Da. [43:43] >> Oh, man. Well, good thing we kept all [43:46] the lights we used for the valley. I've [43:48] got the battery pack. Keep my phone [43:50] powered so we don't miss any alerts. [43:53] >> What about game night? [43:54] >> Sounds good. [43:57] >> Oh, we have to get to mom and dad and [43:59] get them somewhere safe. I've got the [44:01] evacuation route loaded on my phone. [44:03] >> I've got an updated list of dad's meds. [44:05] >> And I've got just what we need to get [44:07] them to take this seriously. [44:08] >> If that doesn't convince them that we [44:09] thought this through, I don't know what [44:11] would. [44:12] >> Start a conversation with your family [44:14] and plan together for emergencies. [44:17] Heat. Heat. [44:38] All [44:49] right, buddy. [44:50] >> Love is a lesson that doesn't end. It [44:53] knows no conditions, so you better [44:55] buckle in. Love keeps you on your toes. [44:58] It never stops, only grows. Love isn't [45:02] easy. It's a commitment, especially when [45:04] they're being their most resistant. [45:07] Love is finding the right seat. So you [45:09] can take a breath, but remember love [45:11] isn't lax. It always double checks. [45:14] Check that your kids are in the right [45:16] seat at nitsa.gov/theight [45:18] seat. [45:20] >> Danny, wake up. [45:25] >> Danny. [45:28] >> Danny. Laps. [45:33] >> Danny. We can talk. [45:37] Danny. Danny. She's overdosing. [45:43] >> When no one else knows what to do, it's [45:45] got to be you. Carrying the lock zone. [45:47] You could save a life. [45:51] I'm a different kind of threat. [45:55] You can't call the cops on me. [46:00] >> I don't even have to break in. [46:04] >> I'm invited. [46:21] There I was, 16, divorced, remarried [46:24] with the baby, another on the way, and I [46:27] could barely read or write. It was time [46:29] for me to change my life and the lives [46:32] of my family. So, I went back and I got [46:35] my high school diploma. That was the [46:38] catalyst I needed. Now, I have a [46:40] bachelor's, a masters, and I became a [46:42] teacher. [46:46] >> Mom, this is your very first yearbook. [46:49] >> Your commitment to education motivates [46:51] me, your co-workers, and your students. [46:53] >> You showed me that if you come from [46:55] nothing, you can still be anything. [46:57] >> You told me I deserve to succeed. It's [46:59] been 15 years, and I still live by that. [47:01] You're the model for success for your [47:03] kids, grandkids, and your students. [47:06] >> When I look at all these success [47:08] stories, I cannot help but think it all [47:11] started by getting my high school [47:12] diploma. [47:13] >> When you graduate, they graduate. Visit [47:15] finishyoudiploma.org to find free and [47:18] supportive adult education centers near [47:20] you. [47:21] >> Calling all big thinkers. [47:25] The world's climate is changing. [47:29] These aren't new facts. But it means we [47:32] must think in new ways about how we can [47:35] live, prosper, and provide energy for [47:38] our world [47:40] while protecting our planet. Engineers [47:44] are answering the call to create [47:47] cleaner, safer, reliable energy. [47:51] Solar power harnessing the power of the [47:53] sun to light all corners of the globe. [47:56] Wind power channeling a simple breeze to [47:58] bring electricity to our homes. Hydro [48:01] power using the natural flow of water to [48:03] generate electricity. Nuclear power [48:06] engineering advanced reactors that are [48:08] safer, more reliable, and produce [48:10] zerocarbon emissions. Engineers are [48:13] leading the way and empowering the next [48:15] generation. [48:17] Engineers answer the call. [48:44] It's cold outside. Well, it's cold [48:46] inside, too. It's a hockey rink. So far [48:48] today, eight of the 17 shots engineered [48:52] by two players for the Titan Titans. [48:54] Carter Parrot with four. Quinton Racel [48:57] each with four, none past Everett Hayes. [48:59] So far, we're ready for the start of the [49:00] second period, level at 0. With Kyle [49:04] Warner, I'm Alex Wested. And Carl, you [49:05] mentioned in our intermission [49:06] conversation, Spartans looking for a big [49:09] start here to period number two. [49:11] >> They absolutely are. And they would love [49:13] a beautiful start to go alongside those [49:15] beautiful baby blue jerseys. And it's [49:18] exactly what they're going to need after [49:19] spending the majority of the finish of [49:21] that first period on their heels. [49:24] >> It's not tracked at the high school [49:25] level. Offensive defensive zone time. [49:29] Probably don't want to give people any [49:31] more ideas for that matter. But similly [49:34] for a lot of their time and a lot of [49:36] their effort trying to get out of the [49:37] zone. They'll need to do better here, [49:39] especially in the period of the long [49:40] change where the Titans this season, [49:42] Carl, have scored their most goals, 18 [49:44] of their 29 in period number two. [49:46] >> And sometimes the second period is [49:48] overlooked by hockey watchers cuz it's [49:50] not the start of the game and it's not [49:51] the dramatic finish, but the the money [49:54] is made in in every second, but you [49:56] can't let your your laurels rest on on [49:59] the second period. So, as the two teams [50:02] will switch ends here at Tarton Arena in [50:05] Oakdale, Minnesota, just off of 10th [50:07] Street on a very busy, very chilly day [50:10] here. One week until Christmas. [50:14] >> How about that? Metro East Conference [50:16] standings look exactly like this. Simley [50:18] and Tartan both looking for their first [50:20] points on the season, but a lot of teams [50:23] close together at the top. [50:24] >> Yeah, bunched together there. You got [50:26] Mameidi, the defending state champion [50:28] girls soccer champions and St. Thomas [50:31] Academy. Always a power player in the [50:33] Metro East and in the single A uh level [50:36] as well at the state tournament. And of [50:37] course, Hastings, their first year in a [50:40] long time as a single A team. [50:42] >> Give Dave Wright a shout out, the public [50:44] address announcer of St. Thomas Academy [50:46] Athletics, one of the all-time great [50:48] voices in the state of Minnesota. If you [50:49] think high school hockey, you're [50:51] thinking probably of two names. You're [50:53] thinking of Jim Carroll, you're thinking [50:54] of Dave Wright, and just the legacy that [50:57] both have had, not even so much playing [50:58] on the ice, but announcing [51:01] things that are going on on it. [51:04] Face off at center to begin period [51:06] number two. Campbell on the draw for the [51:07] Titans. He wins it cleanly back and [51:09] we're underway here in the period of [51:11] number two. [51:12] >> And the Tartan bench providing some [51:14] energy on that faceoff trying to keep [51:16] their their players engaged and ready to [51:19] go. Faceoffs have been strong in favor [51:22] of the Titans tonight. Shot on from a [51:25] long ways out. Saved by Magguire. He'll [51:27] steer it into the corner. ANOTHER SHOT [51:28] ON. ANOTHER SHOT ON. AND A DANGEROUS [51:30] OPPORTUNITY. Puck loose in the blue [51:32] paint. Still loose and a backhander [51:34] through the slot. Flung through by Onik. [51:38] And we'll have another power play up [51:40] coming for the Simy Spartans. A big [51:43] physical check on the end of that as [51:45] just 33 seconds in. Meanwhile, [51:47] Rutherford to the penalty box and the [51:49] Spartans back to the power play. [51:52] >> Second time tonight that Tartan is going [51:55] to the kill. First time they were [51:58] successful. [52:00] Let's see if if they can survive another [52:01] one. [52:04] A lot of action here in front of [52:06] Meguire. [52:08] >> Don't think it's possible for Live [52:09] Stance to count the number of times, but [52:11] at least five quality opportunities [52:14] there for these Spartans. [52:16] And now their second power play. Two [52:18] shots on their first. Titans five for [52:21] five. And now a short-handed bit. Here's [52:23] Mlen into the zone. Mlen digs and just [52:26] misses wide to the left of the net of [52:28] Everett Haye. [52:31] >> And now everybody's caught their breath. [52:33] We We almost had a shorthander worried [52:36] about power play number two this penalty [52:38] kill number two that. You got to watch [52:40] out at all times for these breakaways. [52:42] Tartans this season in eight games have [52:45] scored three short-handed goals. [52:49] Back out through center. Fishbach Simy [52:52] meanwhile for their efforts have only [52:53] given up one short-handed goal. [52:54] >> And I tell you what, Remacle almost had [52:56] another one-on-one opportunity there. [52:58] Not a breakaway, but Tarton's been more [53:01] effective on this kill than Simley has [53:03] been on the power play. [53:05] >> Sharifer quickly into the zone off the [53:08] stick of one Titan. O'Shea sends it to [53:10] the far wall. cleared back out briefly [53:12] by Campbell. He'll come back to it at [53:14] the near side. Dot with a minute and [53:15] three left to go on the Spartan power [53:18] play. Back out. Pavle couldn't get a [53:21] handle on it. Hay flings it with his [53:23] stick to the far side for Walton. [53:25] >> And that one landed on net. You can [53:28] never be too careful. I mean, remember [53:30] what happened in the Wild game on [53:32] Sunday. Quinn Hughes crashing right into [53:34] Philip Gustoson. Gustoson had to be [53:36] ready. And watch. Oh, that one almost [53:38] got sent right into the crowd here on [53:40] the center line. [53:42] We've seen a couple of times tonight [53:43] where both teams have, well, to put it [53:46] bluntly, have struggled inside of their [53:48] own houses, but so far hasn't hurt [53:51] either team thus far. Anuk will send it [53:54] in. Held on to and a spinning Meguire. [53:56] He's got his back to the Simley bench [53:58] now. I think he got caught in his left [54:00] pad. I think he expected that one to [54:02] deflect to the back wall by our camera [54:05] there, but he uh opened up a little bit [54:08] too early or too late rather. [54:12] 22 seconds remaining on this power play. [54:14] On your screen is Ben Horse. Second [54:16] season as head coach of the Simley [54:18] Spartans. A couple of other stops on his [54:20] way. OIO St. Paul Academy among others. [54:25] Assistant coach in East View down in [54:27] Apple Valley for a number of years. Back [54:29] to the blue line. The shot held in, [54:31] blocked out in front with the skate of [54:33] Fitzgerald. And a little friendly fire. [54:34] Martin with the shoulder to create space [54:36] further and cleared back through center. [54:38] Another good penalty killed for the [54:40] Tartan Titans. [54:41] >> That's it on this penalty kill here. [54:44] Tartan just absolutely dominant there. [54:46] Similey barely getting any opportunity [54:48] at the net. [54:49] >> Fitzgerald through neutralize. Big [54:51] collision from Par. Parent the team [54:53] leader in shots. James is down in the [54:55] midfield and off sides was called as [54:58] James still down and bleeding on the [55:02] ice. [55:02] >> We have a lot of iron on the on the ice [55:05] and I'm not talking about the net. [55:09] >> So James goes to the tartan bench. There [55:12] will be a brief stoppage with the [55:15] >> I think our officials are discussing [55:17] what to do with the because there's a [55:20] tiny I would say maybe about maybe [55:23] quarter of blood on the ice. Quarter [55:26] cup. I mean [55:27] >> Carter Martin trying to shovel it out as [55:30] are some of the Simly Spartans coming [55:32] over now. Immel and Kennedy both helping [55:34] out. [55:34] >> How exactly do they take care of this? [55:36] Like you got to get a water bottle down [55:38] there. [55:40] Well, this time it's Latrell putting the [55:42] skates on. There is the B water bottle [55:44] with Martin. And now the official comes [55:46] over. He'll skate here. [55:48] >> This is uh I don't know if I've ever [55:51] seen this before. This is a first for [55:52] me. [55:53] >> Carter Parent comes over. He'll sprinkle [55:55] a little water. Normally you talk about [55:57] manufacturing the grass or the turf and [55:59] making sure the quality of that is here. [56:00] Sometimes you'll see that in hockey, but [56:03] Carl, you said it. This is a whole other [56:07] event alto together. Now there's a coach [56:09] for Tartan who's going to the Zamboni [56:11] room. [56:14] Take a look at a quick replay on the hip [56:17] on Tyler James that led to this brief [56:19] delay. [56:22] >> And I think James may have been a Oh, I [56:25] think he maybe took a stick directly to [56:27] the neck or the mouth. And look, we got [56:30] a big snow shovel out here now. We got [56:33] the shovel out. And [56:37] I will always remember when that pane of [56:39] glass broke in Rochester a couple years [56:41] ago and that goalender had to get the [56:43] wheelbarrow out. But [56:50] so the delay will continue. [56:54] Ice continuing to be [56:56] manicured and made pure once again. [56:59] There's Cole Leech watching on from [57:01] afar. This is [57:03] this is unprecedented in my books. A a [57:07] blood intermission. [57:10] >> Taking a look around the state of [57:11] Minnesota. 35 games scheduled. A handful [57:14] have been postponed so far. Six of them [57:16] have been postponed. Just underway at [57:18] South St. Paul's Doug Woo Arena. No [57:21] score. St. Paul Co-op and the Packers of [57:23] South St. Paul. Rochester Mayo and [57:25] Owatana. They're playing tonight down at [57:27] the Steel County Four Season Center. [57:29] They are scoreless as well. Quite a few [57:31] games kicking off at the 7:00 window, [57:34] including some highlights. White Bear [57:36] Lake heading out to Andover, not [57:38] Andover, to Weisetta to take on the [57:40] Trojans out there in a big class 2A [57:43] matchup. Chanhass will take on [57:44] Minnitonka. The storm taking on the [57:46] skippers at Pagel on that creat hall [57:49] forest late game. [57:52] >> One last look here on the extended [57:55] pause. [57:57] This just awkward play. It's almost the [58:00] blade of the stick of Fitzgerald that [58:03] comes up. No intent obviously, but one [58:06] of the weirder plays that you'll see in [58:08] the Minnesota State High School League [58:10] this year. [58:11] >> And the most important thing is that [58:13] there's no significant medical [58:15] emergency. And looks like everybody's [58:18] okay. And now our officials were able to [58:21] scoop the the blood ice off of the off [58:25] of the sheet here. And the shovel is [58:27] handed back to the ice crew. And it [58:29] looks like we're ready to go. [58:30] >> Tyler James still being attended to by [58:32] the training staff for the Tartan [58:34] Titans. His first goals this season. He [58:36] had two of them. His first goals for his [58:38] varsity career. His next assist will tie [58:40] a new career high in that total. And [58:42] both of his goals came in a 13-1 win [58:44] over Mora Malaca for Mackel faceoff win. [58:48] We're back to action here now for both [58:50] teams. How do you get that momentum back [58:52] up? How do you get the physicality back [58:54] up that was working so well on both [58:56] sides? Well, I didn't set a timer, but [58:58] we just had maybe a 3 to 4 minute break [59:01] in the action. So, it's important for [59:03] both of these teams to come out of the [59:04] gates hot and and don't get caught [59:07] sleeping here. [59:09] >> Latrell at the blue line, goes low. [59:12] Perfect pass left behind Mlen. FedEd for [59:15] Parent, but Parent goes down further to [59:17] retrieve. Mlen back behind and all the [59:20] way out through center. Latrell will [59:22] pick it up there. Ramackle right back [59:24] for Latrell. A trail off the boards. [59:26] Mlen into the zone for Parin off of his [59:29] skate. Creates a break back for Simley, [59:31] but a good job cutting back to it by [59:33] Quinton Remackl. [59:35] Flung high in the air. Knocked down by [59:37] Latrell and then retrieved defensively [59:40] by Carter Parent. A turnover. TWO ON [59:42] SAVE with a blocker by Magguire. Another [59:45] back out in front. Another great a [59:48] chance for Simley. AND ANOTHER JUST [59:50] MISSES. puck went off the top of the net [59:53] before that final [59:55] and now the net is dislodged. [59:58] And how did it get dislodged is my [60:00] question because at this point did [60:02] Maguire dislodge it himself [60:07] >> twice tonight. Watch this initial [60:09] opportunity. I think he could have [60:10] passed across the slot. [60:13] Now watch for the net to get dislodged [60:15] here. [60:17] And it looks like yeah, Magguire does [60:20] end up taking responsibility for pushing [60:22] it off, but I don't think it was [60:24] intentional by any means. [60:26] >> The pegs at most high school hockey [60:29] ranks are about a centimeter thick. [60:32] >> Not exactly the most grounded. [60:35] >> Not compared to division 3, division one [60:38] hockey ranks where you'll drill the [60:40] holes into the ice with the pokes. [60:42] >> There's no drill bits here. [60:45] >> Or if there is, they maybe get pulled [60:46] out. once every couple of moons. [60:52] >> Near side. Pobble turned it over. Simley [60:55] starting to show some pressure here in [60:56] period number two. Rutherford further [61:00] ahead. Rubbed off of the play back into [61:02] the corner. Simley tries to recover. [61:04] Rutherford lost the edge on it. Milner [61:06] has it behind the net for Simley. [61:09] Still a tied game here with majority of [61:12] the second period to go and [61:16] and there I mean a lot of people still [61:17] have questions about the icing rules [61:19] compared to college and the NHL. Maybe [61:22] you could shed a little bit of light on [61:23] cuz obviously Sibi would have been the [61:26] first um player to that puck there, but [61:28] in high school, how is it different? [61:34] >> You know, Carl, that's a great question [61:36] that I don't have an answer for. Well, [61:38] it it feels like no matter what game you [61:40] go to, whether if it's if it's NHL, [61:42] NCAA, or high school, it feels like it's [61:45] always a little bit different anyways, [61:47] but a lot of the rules at the high [61:49] school level are are designed for player [61:51] safety. So, you would imagine why you [61:53] wouldn't want a big long goose chase [61:55] into a corner like that. [61:57] >> Taken back behind off the face off, held [62:01] in by Sh. [62:03] >> Sent back through the slot. Simil will [62:05] take it over here. Neutralize. [62:07] through neutral. I still go dumped in. [62:10] Run around there by Ryder Smiser, a [62:13] fourth grader. Not a fourth grader, [62:14] that's way too young. An eighth grader [62:17] playing for Simley tonight. [62:18] >> No, I've seen some seventh graders play [62:20] varsity in some other sports. [62:22] >> That'd have to be quite a large fourth [62:24] grader, would it not? [62:25] >> I'll tell you what, when I was coming up [62:26] in youth hockey, there was a I don't [62:28] think he'd mind me saying this, there [62:29] was a fourth grader named Dalton who was [62:31] about three times as bigger than um the [62:34] rest of us. And there were a couple [62:36] times where I could have sworn he could [62:37] have played for the varsity team at that [62:38] age. [62:39] >> Flung back through center. Hit off of [62:40] the padding of Ramackle. Threeon two [62:43] numbers now for Similly. Remack comes [62:44] back for the three-on-ree shot off the [62:46] blocker of the goalender and Maguire [62:49] back out through neutral ice. Here goes [62:51] the Tartan Titans once again. And [62:53] Rosenthal will slow things down. [62:56] Rosenthal off the goal line. Further [62:57] ahead for Martin. Martin has to catch it [62:59] between his legs. He'll slow down. [63:01] Martin for Parent. [63:04] And for the Titans, 17 shots in the [63:06] first period. They are yet to have one [63:07] here. Six minutes elapsed in period [63:09] number two. [63:10] >> Nice passing here from Tartan as they [63:12] drive into the offensive zone. [63:14] >> Parent with a backhand. Couldn't connect [63:16] with a Titan out in front. Good picking [63:18] of the pocket there by Parent and it [63:20] goes back behind. Panic to get to it. [63:23] Rung far for Shrier. Simley will try to [63:26] break out but held in once again by [63:28] Parent. Parents had a phenomenal night [63:30] tonight for the Tartan Titans. hasn't [63:32] shown it on the scoreboard yet, but he's [63:34] been great for the Air Force blue and [63:35] gray. Parent backhanded low. Mlen goes [63:39] back, hits off of a stick and comes all [63:41] the way back out through neutral lights. [63:43] It's picked up by Latrell near side. [63:45] Campbell [63:47] Campbell further ahead. Mlelen. Mlen [63:50] tries to get around. Mlen back behind on [63:52] the end boards. No interference call [63:54] coming there. I thought we were going to [63:55] get one. We don't. looked like [63:57] incidental contact [63:59] and now we get our stoppage. Not sure if [64:02] our cameras caught that incidental [64:03] contact but sent both players to the [64:06] ice. 10:07 left to go second period. [64:09] Shots on goal. 1815 in this period. Six [64:12] for the Spartans. One for Tartan. So [64:15] yeah, things have slowown down here for [64:17] Tartan since in these first seven [64:19] minutes [64:21] of the second period. Tartan gets a big [64:24] faceoff win. Face off to the right of [64:25] Hay was won by Tarton. Good stick right [64:27] in the way. Race to the puck is on. [64:29] Bennis had the edge but was rubbed out [64:31] on the play by Cowwell. Shot through and [64:33] steered back again to the corner. O'Shea [64:37] lost a handle on it. Now they'll come [64:39] back through space. Will the Titans [64:41] slowing it down. Knocked down. Backended [64:44] in further by Pavle. Pavle around. Goes [64:47] back to the blue line looking for [64:49] Jorgensson. Jorgensson shot through. [64:51] Little bit too much mustard on that pass [64:53] >> and Rutherford unable to handle it on [64:55] it. Exactly wide. [64:58] >> Pavle tries to use his body. Rutherford [65:02] >> sandwiched between a couple of Spartans. [65:04] Still managed to drive the puck in the [65:06] offensive zone. [65:08] >> Taken back behind. [65:10] Strung around by Milner. Back out [65:13] through center. Jorgensson will force [65:15] the icing to be waved off. He'll have to [65:16] recover in his own defensive zone. 910 [65:19] left to go. Second period, still [65:21] scoreless. 1915 our shots on goal. [65:24] Gathered at the blue line by Waltman. [65:27] Unable to handle on it. And once again, [65:30] just miscues in the neutral zone area [65:32] for both teams tonight. It's been a [65:34] tough time entering the zone on both [65:35] sides. Icing is called here. [65:42] Another faceoff resulting in the Simley [65:44] defensive zone. 855 left to go. Period [65:47] number two. Still no score. Titans this [65:51] season threw eight games in the second [65:53] period. 18 goals. [65:56] Chances have been there, but right now [65:57] just two shots on goal in this period [66:04] all the way around. Fitzgerald [66:07] has Smiser down and low with him, but [66:10] it's taken over on the opposite side by [66:12] Tarton. And Rosenthal carries out [66:14] through neutral. Rosenthal dumped down [66:16] off the end boards right to Haye. Haye [66:19] forced back to the blue line. Held in [66:22] there. Sh walks at the dock. Shot [66:26] through. Awkward play made. Collision [66:28] with the goalender out in front. Still [66:31] no whistle there and a follow-up shot [66:33] was delivered by Mark for [66:35] >> and it looked like Hey got hit right in [66:37] the head by that collision. [66:39] >> Tesser sends it low. Gathered there. [66:41] Mland knocked off the puck there by [66:44] Hughesman. Held to the blue line. Tesser [66:46] shot through off of a stick. There's a [66:48] stick on the goal line laterally to it. [66:50] >> And now Simley trying to push that stick [66:54] out of danger. And [66:57] >> just having a whale of time trying to do [66:59] so. [67:00] Puck locked on the attempt off the stick [67:03] of Tesser. Knocked down. An opportunity [67:05] now for Simley. A shot on save by [67:08] Magguire on the drive by Aiden Fishbach. [67:11] >> Tried to go top shelf to get it and that [67:14] stick is still sitting down there [67:16] through this whistle. I don't even think [67:17] our officials have noticed it yet. [67:21] Now we do have a official running to go [67:24] get it. [67:26] Fishbach on the drive. Four goals in [67:28] five games earlier this season. Next [67:30] point will set a new career high he had [67:32] last year as an eighth grader. Ran cross [67:34] country for Simley. top 50 in the state [67:37] three years ago. [67:39] Very fast young man. [67:42] Face off one by the Titans. Unable to do [67:44] anything with it. Gathered up Mackel. [67:46] Sends it for their head on off sides is [67:49] called from a long ways down. [67:51] >> That must have been a very confident [67:53] call. [67:56] >> How'd you get that piece of lore? The [67:58] the cross country note. [67:59] >> Well, I Googled them. [68:01] >> You googled the individual player. [68:03] >> Oh, you have to. Yeah. Got to be [68:05] prepared for anything, Carl. [68:07] >> Face off to the right of Nathan Maguire. [68:09] 738 to go. Period 2. Shots 1916. [68:12] >> Yeah, I was wondering if there was a MN [68:14] cross country hub. Hadn't heard of that [68:17] one just yet. [68:18] >> No, not yet. [68:20] Another icing, another faceoff. [68:23] >> I'm sure Strip Varsity will be hot on [68:25] that one. So, [68:27] >> it is not chuck a puck night tonight. [68:30] Chuck a duck night tonight here at [68:33] Tartan Ice Arena. I imagine a little bit [68:35] easier to maybe Well, actually, I don't [68:36] know. Would that be easier to pick up [68:38] compared to the puck? [68:40] >> That's a good question. I'm not sure. [68:43] Probably easier to shovel if you wanted [68:44] to, but I guess the shovel's covered [68:46] with blood now, so you're kind of [68:48] limited there. [68:48] >> Yeah, they're going to have to sanitize [68:50] the shovel and hopefully there's more [68:51] than one. [68:53] >> Anak and Remackel on the faceoff to the [68:55] right of Meguire. Face off one by Annex. [68:58] shot through and handcuffed briefly. [69:00] Magguire is on his seat [69:02] >> and the puck rung behind wisely by [69:04] Remackl. Another dangerous chance for [69:06] Simley. [69:07] >> That puck nearly skirted right slowly [69:10] right out in front of Maguire as [69:12] >> as Ramackel loses a tire and now we're [69:15] deep down in the Sim. [69:17] >> Ellerner to Waltman. Spartans will try [69:20] to clear the zone right by the [69:21] Zambourney doors. [69:24] Immel back through center. Knocked down. [69:26] Latrell gathers at the red. He will ring [69:28] it in. Hits off of the official back to [69:30] the far side. Mlelen drops for parent, [69:32] but no damage done there. [69:34] >> That would have been a controversial way [69:35] to score the first goal of the game is [69:38] to have a deflection off of an official. [69:40] >> Martin further ahead. Intercepted and [69:44] sent down by Wallace, but on the wrong [69:46] side of the red line and icing is [69:49] called. [69:51] 644 to go. Period number two. shots 1917 [69:56] in favor of Tartan in this period. 8-2 [70:00] in favor of the Spartans. [70:05] >> Oh man, it was right there for Simley. I [70:09] think they just airmailed it. [70:10] >> Riley was the one with the golden [70:12] chance. Scored one goal against Albert [70:14] Lee in their last game. [70:16] This game feels like it is. It's like we [70:19] put a pot of water on on the boiler and [70:23] it's just been getting hotter and hotter [70:25] and hotter and it's starting to bubble [70:26] over right now and it feels like we're [70:28] just ready to explode. [70:31] >> Titans have been penalized twice [70:33] tonight. Simley has yet to go to the [70:35] penalty kill [70:37] with where things are at right now. [70:38] Especially teams the rest of the way may [70:40] be the defining line tonight. [70:44] Almost had one there. [70:46] O'She's trying to clear back through [70:47] center. Knocked down by Jurgensson. [70:49] He'll send it off the glass. [70:51] >> Rains down and low. [70:52] >> Dawson Shrier nearly had a scary moment [70:54] there, but he uh collided with the [70:56] boards. Couple seconds after he went [70:58] down. [71:00] >> Jorgensson [71:01] back into the Titan defensive zone. [71:03] Pamel picks it up. Retreats defensively [71:06] for Jorgensson there. Jorgensson around. [71:08] You almost sense the desperation in both [71:11] teams right now to finally get a goal on [71:14] that scoreboard. [71:15] >> To the far side, Jorgensson for [71:17] Rutherford. Campbell into the corner. [71:20] Forced off the puck well by Shrier. And [71:23] Campbell comes back to it. Campbell [71:25] tries to clear. Can't do so. [71:28] And then all the way back. The Simly [71:30] faithful looking for a penalty call as [71:32] Smiser sent it down and low. One of the [71:34] Simly fans asking our official if the [71:36] whistle's broken. It's worked several [71:39] times tonight. I don't think it's [71:40] broken, but at this point, they're just [71:41] letting him play. [71:44] >> Milner shot through. Redirection out in [71:46] front. Robertson had the stick in the [71:47] area. [71:48] >> Let's see if he can get another one. No, [71:50] not that time. Pavle getting in the way. [71:53] >> Jorgensson out of the corner. Rutherford [71:55] has it on the end boards. He'll fling it [71:57] down and give the Tarton Titans a much [71:59] needed change. [72:00] >> That is one of the faster desperation [72:03] clears I've seen in a while. Obviously, [72:05] a key component of high school hockey in [72:07] Minnesota is the fact that a icing does [72:10] not prevent you from changing your [72:11] lines. [72:12] >> And such a difference, too, in terms of [72:14] the games that I've done at Division 3, [72:15] the games that I've done at Division [72:16] One, the games that I've done at the [72:18] NHL, where you have such a difference [72:22] when you can change an icing versus when [72:24] you cannot. It just really seems like an [72:27] easy way out that's almost unthinkable [72:29] at, you know, high school, you're rarely [72:32] ever able to say this, but for Minnesota [72:34] high school hockey, it feels like one of [72:36] those things that shouldn't be a way [72:37] out. [72:39] This is a pretty high level of hockey. [72:41] And if you don't believe me, just ask [72:42] Mason West. [72:44] Markford [72:46] slows down, looks for the pass, found [72:48] it, put it behind Sher. SHOT THROUGH. [72:50] SAVE BY HAYE. And the puck still loose [72:52] as Hay didn't get a handle on it. It's [72:55] still loose. The whistle hasn't blown. [72:56] Now it does. [72:57] >> I COULD HAVE SWORN THERE WAS a [72:59] >> concludes. [73:00] >> I could have sworn there was a whistle [73:01] about 15 seconds ago [73:04] >> and then they just kept playing. [73:08] The official on the goal line was [73:10] standing as though the puck was still in [73:12] play [73:14] and you can hear the shots from parents [73:16] on both sides saying where was the [73:18] whistle? [73:21] But as I said, I thought there was a [73:23] whistle initially [73:30] and then you watch they just keep [73:32] playing and a large part of it was Tyler [73:35] James who just didn't give up while [73:38] there were four Simley defenders there [73:41] and now we got two players in the box, [73:43] one for each team. [73:44] >> Fitzgerald for the Spartans [73:46] and Shy for the Titans. coincidental [73:49] miners [73:51] that'll be at 12:05 [73:54] and a resulting faceoff in Simley's [73:57] defensive zone. Now, Cole Leech gets the [74:00] explanation from our officials here [74:01] tonight. Cole Leech, if you haven't [74:03] heard, one of the kindest people you'll [74:04] ever find. Talking with Carl a couple of [74:07] years ago when I was on Twitter, not [74:08] anymore. [74:10] But I won a guess what you'd call a [74:12] giveaway for some Heggies pizza and [74:14] coach Leech drove to my apartment in [74:16] Bloomington and handd delivered them. [74:18] really nice, really kind, really has [74:20] this program developing well and [74:22] developing in the right direction. [74:25] Face off to the right of Hey, [74:29] Daniel O'Shea on the draw. [74:31] And now Remac will be excused. [74:35] getting to work high school sports and [74:36] youth sports in general calling these [74:38] games. It's always great when the the [74:40] coach is not only successful on the [74:42] playing surface, but successful in being [74:44] a good leader in developing the [74:46] character of these young men and women. [74:49] >> And in all the years I did high school [74:51] public address announcing for White Bear [74:52] Lake in Mountains View, the only team [74:55] that every player came over to the [74:57] penalty box and said thank you was a [74:58] Tartan Titans. [75:01] And maybe it doesn't mean a lot in the [75:03] grand scheme of things, but it's just [75:04] that that culture you're teaching. Yeah, [75:07] >> Jenx. [75:10] >> Miss Hughes at the defensive zone for [75:12] Simley. Puck all the way back out. [75:15] >> Mlen will slow down using the net as a [75:17] screen thrown into the boards with [75:19] emphasis by a Spartan. Well done by IML. [75:23] >> Tartans only got three shots on goal [75:25] this whole period. Just miscue. [75:29] That one nearly got by. make it four. [75:31] >> Another dangerous chance on but Hey [75:34] still able to get to the puck. [75:35] >> Speaking of four, that's how many [75:36] minutes we have left as Hey laughs that [75:39] one off. [75:41] This is a long shot but nearly got by [75:46] again. If you're Everett Haye, you'll [75:48] take those long chances. You'll take [75:50] those long shots. You can track all the [75:51] way. [75:55] Face off one by the Titans. Bennis goes [75:58] for a shot through off of Hay off of the [76:00] end boards for face for the puck is on. [76:03] It goes into the corner gathered by [76:04] Campbell. [76:06] Run around behind in the corner for [76:08] Rutherford. [76:09] Rutherford lost for the shot trying to [76:12] go for Pavle out in front. Didn't find [76:14] the receiver on it. Still Pavl [76:17] dropped down and low. Rutherford is on. [76:20] Wild Rutherford onto the puck trying to [76:23] create separation. Rutherford back shot [76:26] THROUGH REDIRECTION OFF OF CAMPBELL. Hit [76:28] the post on the side. [76:30] >> He better be saying his thank yous. Mark [76:32] Andre Flurry style. [76:35] >> Bennis to the blue line. Shot through. [76:38] Hit off the glass high from Tesser. [76:40] Another followup made by Bennis. [76:41] >> Tartan just teeing off. This is exactly [76:44] like how the first period ended. [76:46] >> Bennis behind. Rings it around. Tesser [76:49] has it on the far side wall. Dumps it [76:51] down and low for Campbell. Taken over. [76:54] O'Shea tries to clear. Can Rutherford a [76:56] shot held on to by Haye [76:58] >> and Rutherford paid the price for it. [77:02] >> 3 minutes to go. A lot happened in that [77:04] one minute between the four and three [77:07] minute mark. Here's a look at some of [77:08] the action that just occurred. [77:12] Tartan just teeing off. [77:18] 302 to go. Second period of play. still [77:21] as we started. Zeros on the board. [77:27] Face off to Hayes left. [77:30] It'll be Wolman on the draw for Simley. [77:33] Tied up the man in Mark for it. But [77:35] still Titans with another faceoff win. [77:38] James back onto the ice. You like to see [77:39] that. He's tied up into the corner [77:42] trying to fight for a possession. [77:44] >> Yeah, you absolutely love to see that. [77:46] James getting back out there so soon [77:48] after he went to the bench. And now [77:51] we're going to get a hand, a delayed [77:53] hand in the air. [77:56] >> He wasn't sure about it, but [77:57] interference is the call at 1418 in the [78:01] second period. And the Titans will head [78:04] to their first power play of the [78:05] evening. It it took a [78:09] that was like a [78:11] that was far beyond what you'd see a [78:14] delay a delay of game on the shot clock. [78:17] This was a couple seconds before the [78:19] hand was in the air, [78:21] >> but very clearly interference. [78:23] >> So first power play of the night [78:27] for Tartan. [78:28] >> Wyatt Wallace the guilty party picks up [78:31] his third and fourth penalty minutes on [78:33] the year and his fifth appearance. Great [78:35] move shot through, hits the netting with [78:37] 7 seconds gone on the power play and a [78:39] minute 53 left to go on it. 234 here in [78:42] the second. [78:42] >> A deique that Vladimir Terasenk would be [78:45] proud of after what we saw a couple [78:47] nights ago. Check out this [78:50] right there. [78:54] Titan power play 0 for three against St. [78:56] Paul in their last game. They're one for [78:58] their last 14 on the man advantage. Last [79:01] power play goal for Tarton came against [79:04] Oaklair North in November. [79:10] Sharon [79:12] looks to create some space and does [79:16] tightens back into the zone but the puck [79:17] long for Rutherford. Rutherford out [79:19] races his man to get to it. Here's [79:20] Here's Here's Here's Here's Here's Here [79:21] behind the net. Remack pass out in [79:23] front. Didn't quite connect cleanly [79:24] enough with Perin. It goes back down the [79:26] length of the ice. [79:28] Meanwhile, the penalty kill for Simley. [79:30] Power play goals have been allowed for [79:31] the Spartans in all road games this [79:33] season and did not kill either penalty [79:36] against Albert Lee with both of those [79:38] penalty kills coming in this the second [79:40] period against the Tigers. [79:42] >> Under two minutes to play here in the [79:44] second period and we could be at some [79:46] serious danger here of going into the [79:49] third period scoreless. [79:52] >> Similey really matching the energy. [79:56] >> How did that not go in? Puck stays out. [80:00] It's held into a nice play made at it by [80:02] Martin [80:02] >> and the crowd appreciating it. Hey does [80:05] not have his stick. [80:07] >> Now the whistle will blow. Puck was off [80:09] sides. [80:09] >> That would have been really bad if that [80:11] puck got sent back to to Haye there on [80:14] net. [80:16] >> Minute 29 to go in the second. 47 [80:18] seconds remaining on the power play. And [80:20] another great a chance for Quinton [80:22] Rumacle. [80:25] >> Face off at neutral. Here's Campbell on [80:28] the draw. He'll be opposed by Immel for [80:30] Simling [80:33] as the Spartans had five on the ice. [80:37] Now they're set with their four. [80:39] >> And you wonder if that's just officials [80:41] discretion of whether that's going to be [80:43] a delay of game or just a reminder like [80:45] hey like got one too many right now. [80:48] >> Yeah. Typically on the faceoff you'd let [80:50] it go [80:52] but the repetition of it is when you [80:55] might draw the line, [80:56] >> right? Yeah. [80:57] >> 30 seconds to go in this power play and [81:00] Tartans had some chances. [81:02] >> Off to the far side. Cleared back out. A [81:05] centering pass was looking for a Titan. [81:06] It found a Spartan and it's cleared down [81:08] the length of the ice. Maguire will stop [81:11] it. He'll leave it for Tesser inside a [81:13] minute to go here in period number two. [81:15] >> Last dying seconds here. This power play [81:18] for the team in white tonight. [81:21] >> Pavl cuts towards the net. Sends a shot [81:23] through. Back out in front. Cleared off [81:25] of Haye. Back out. Tess her shot held on [81:27] to by Hay with two on the power play. [81:30] >> Last few minutes have just been juicy [81:32] rebound after juicy rebound for Tartan. [81:35] I mean, you look at the shots on goal [81:37] now. 27-8 [81:39] in favor of Tartan. It just felt like [81:42] moments ago we were all tied up. [81:45] >> At one point it was 9 to9. First period [81:48] shots on goal were 17-9 in favor of [81:51] Tartan. In this period now 10 to nine. [81:55] and Simley really did do a great job. [81:57] And you watch I mean Tartan's got a [82:01] player standing on the middle of the ice [82:04] >> with two seconds remaining on the power [82:06] play. You don't want the player [82:08] >> and that's exactly why they did it. Oh [82:10] my goodness. [82:12] >> Martin tries to car it in. One last dash [82:15] at it here in the second. [82:16] >> If Carter Martin wasn't standing there, [82:18] Simley would have just had a twoon going [82:21] up against Meguire. [82:24] Off to the far side. [82:25] >> Off sides almost. [82:26] >> I thought it was off sides. Play [82:28] continues. [82:28] >> We're standing right here on this blue [82:30] line that appeared even with our just [82:34] our eyes. 10 seconds. [82:36] >> Watch out here [82:37] >> into the attacking zone. It's carried in [82:39] by Mark for [82:40] >> Luke Milner. Defensive play in this [82:43] game. This could be 000. [82:48] >> Frustration. [82:51] >> Cleared back out through center. The [82:53] horn will sound and just as we saw in [82:56] the first period, a scoreless second [82:58] period, but both teams probably like the [83:01] chances they had in that second period [83:03] of play. And Magguire talking things [83:05] over now with Tyler Latrell [83:08] here in their own end as Simy will [83:13] depart the ice first. Some tension [83:16] boiling over as we approach the final [83:19] period of play. Two penalties assessed [83:21] against Tarton. Carl, one assessed [83:23] against Simley tonight. [83:26] We talked about the impact that special [83:28] teams was going to have on this game [83:30] tonight. So far, it hasn't, but a big [83:32] third period coming up as Carl Read's [83:35] for the Chuck Duck. Scoreless after two [83:38] periods of play here in Oakdale, [83:40] Minnesota. Simley zero, Tartan zero. [83:43] We'll be back for some highlights from [83:44] period number two in a few moments here [83:46] on your home for Tartan boys hockey [83:49] community channels TV19. [84:03] There I was, 16, divorced, remarried [84:07] with the baby, another on the way, and I [84:09] could barely read or write. It was time [84:12] for me to change my life and the lives [84:14] of my family. So, I went back and I got [84:18] my high school diploma. That was the [84:20] catalyst I needed. Now I have a [84:23] bachelor's, a master's, and I became a [84:25] teacher. [84:29] >> Mom, this is your very first yearbook. [84:32] >> Your commitment to education motivates [84:34] me, your co-workers, and your students. [84:36] >> You showed me that if you come from [84:38] nothing, you can still be anything. [84:39] >> You told me I deserve to succeed. It's [84:41] been 15 years, and I still live by that. [84:43] >> You're the model for success for your [84:46] kids, grandkids, and your students. When [84:49] I look at all these success stories, I [84:51] cannot help but think it all started by [84:54] getting my high school diploma. [84:56] >> When you graduate, they graduate.

[89:25] Premier Banks, Minnesota tradition with [89:29] 20 Minnesota offices and they bring you [89:31] the action here tonight at Tartan Arena [89:34] in Oakdale, Minnesota. We are, as we [89:36] started, scoreless between Tartan and [89:39] Simley tonight in Oakdale, Minnesota [89:41] with Carl Warner. I'm Alex Westad. and [89:44] Carl, much like the first period, the [89:46] second period saw both teams with golden [89:48] chances, but the goalies have stood [89:50] strong. [89:50] >> I tell you what, Alex, that scoreboard [89:52] might be empty, but this game is [89:55] anything but. We've seen so much action [89:58] here in the second period and first [90:00] period, but I just cannot believe that [90:03] with all these scoring opportunities in [90:05] the second period, we are still [90:07] empty-handed. Uh double zeros on the [90:09] scoreboard. [90:10] >> Titan with their first chance on the [90:12] power play. Simley had one as well. Both [90:15] the teams tonight with some miscues in [90:18] their own defensive zones, [90:20] but really neither team has broken so [90:22] far. And you talk about two, not just [90:24] the chances from a long ways out [90:26] tonight. But the chances in close, both [90:28] teams have had plenty. Second, third, [90:30] fourth chances, just like that one right [90:33] there. [90:35] Really stars of the show have shown out [90:37] tonight for Tartan. But still, no matter [90:39] what has happened, they just cannot find [90:42] a goal so far. This arguably one of the [90:45] more lethal chances, more lethal [90:47] varieties tonight, good screenshots, but [90:50] second chances there and a wide open [90:52] back door feed that just couldn't find [90:54] its home. The opportunities have been [90:57] there tonight, Carl. It's just a [90:58] question of who will be the team that [91:01] blinks first. And the question as you [91:03] mentioned who blinks first is will that [91:06] blink be a death nail in the game if a [91:08] team gets the advantage. Is that is that [91:11] all they're going to need to finish this [91:13] one out? We have 17 minutes to figure [91:15] out if that's the case. Second period [91:17] shots on goal 10 to nine in favor of the [91:22] Tartan Titans. The faceoffs are [91:24] something we've talked about a lot [91:25] tonight and looking at the live stats [91:27] from the Tartan student managers. 33 [91:29] faceoff wins to just 14 for Simley. It [91:32] felt lopsided. It's been lopsided [91:35] tonight. [91:35] >> That's a big shout out to those Tartan [91:37] student managers for doing the live [91:38] stats for this game. And yeah, I mean [91:40] 33-4 is pretty lopsided and the control [91:44] of these faceoffs is going to be so [91:46] crucial, especially here in the third [91:47] period. [91:49] >> Well, as we head to the third period, [91:51] the banners hanging here in Oakdale [91:53] looking for the next entrant. When will [91:55] it be? Could it be this year for the [91:57] Tartan Air Force silver and blue? [92:00] Scoreless after 34 minutes of play. [92:02] We'll be back for the third in moments [92:04] here on your home for Tartan boys hockey [92:06] suburban community channels TV19. [92:20] Mom, [92:22] >> did you really need to buy two can [92:24] openers for our emergency kit? [92:26] >> I can't help it. They're two for one. [92:32] >> What's this? [92:34] >> We need to keep our family communication [92:36] plan safe in case of an emergency. [92:38] >> Thanks, Da. [92:44] >> Oh, man. Well, good thing we kept all [92:46] the lights we used for the valley. I've [92:48] got the battery pack. Keep my phone [92:50] powered so we don't miss any alerts. [92:54] >> What about game night? [92:55] >> Sounds good. [92:58] >> Oh, we have to get to mom and dad's and [93:00] get them somewhere safe. I've got the [93:02] evacuation route loaded on my phone. [93:03] >> I've got an updated list of dad's meds. [93:05] >> And I've got just what we need to get [93:07] them to take this seriously. [93:09] >> If that doesn't convince them that we [93:10] thought this through, I don't know what [93:12] would. Start a conversation with your [93:14] family and plan together for [93:16] emergencies. [93:22] I'm a different kind of threat. [93:30] I can't be scared away [93:34] or negotiated with. [93:38] >> You can't call the cops on me. [93:41] >> Do you still want to hang out after? I [93:44] don't want your money [93:47] or your TV. [93:54] I don't even have to break in. [93:58] I'm invited. [94:20] Self love made me a better dad because I [94:22] realized my worth [94:25] way you got to pray for yourself as well [94:27] as for everybody else. But never forget [94:30] yourself. The word father means means a [94:34] lot to me. When I give my love to my [94:37] children as a father, I can see it. [94:41] That's the benefit of of being a father [94:43] is is seeing those smiling faces. [94:54] I feel sometimes if that I'm not [94:56] listened to, I feel that uh I'm not [94:59] getting the attention that I need and [95:02] it's a lot built up in my chest. I would [95:05] just want you to listen to me more often [95:08] and evaluate situations with me. and and [95:12] lead me towards success. [95:14] >> Listening is a form of love. Find ways [95:17] to support your kids at soundout [95:18] together.org. [95:22] >> There are a lot of temptations facing [95:24] young people today, like electronic [95:25] cigarettes and skateboarding. Each vape [95:28] pod can contain the same amount of [95:29] nicotine as a pack of cigarettes. This [95:31] can lead today's youth to a lifelong [95:32] addiction and severe lung damage. Recall [95:36] and consider the facts before making a [95:39] poor decision. [95:40] >> The Health Class film guy isn't the best [95:42] person to talk to your kid about vaping. [95:44] >> Got a few minutes? [95:45] >> You are. Start the conversation with [95:47] your child about vaping today. [95:50] >> When I came back from the war, I was [95:53] barely hanging on by a thread. I'm here [95:55] today because of Tanya's relentless [95:58] efforts in trying to get me healed and [96:01] says, "Michael, I know you've got a plan [96:02] to take your life today, but if you give [96:04] me just five more minutes to love you, [96:14] >> Michael has actually taught me what it [96:16] looks like to accept help." [96:21] Calling all big thinkers. [96:25] The world's climate is changing. [96:29] These aren't new facts, but it means we [96:32] must think in new ways about how we can [96:35] live, prosper, and provide energy for [96:39] our world [96:41] while protecting our planet. Engineers [96:44] are answering the call to create [96:47] cleaner, safer, reliable energy. [96:51] Solar power harnessing the power of the [96:54] sun to light all corners of the globe. [96:56] Wind power channeling a simple breeze to [96:59] bring electricity to our homes. Hydro [97:01] power using the natural flow of water to [97:04] generate electricity. Nuclear power [97:06] engineering advanced reactors that are [97:08] safer, more reliable, and produce [97:10] zerocarbon emissions. Engineers are [97:13] leading the way and empowering the next [97:15] generation. [97:17] Engineers answer the call. [97:23] The bravest person I know is definitely [97:26] my dad 100%. [97:28] >> My friend Sean, [97:29] >> my daughter's Cynthia and she was in the [97:31] United States Army. [97:34] >> One of the bravest things he ever did [97:36] wasn't when he first enlisted. It was [97:39] when he found his first support group. [97:41] >> Our journey has not been easy. [97:43] >> One of the bravest things he did was [97:45] when he asked to move in with me and my [97:46] mom. I felt like I was lost and you gave [97:49] me a place to stay. [97:51] >> When he decided he was going to go back [97:52] to school after 23 years, [97:54] >> it was the better part of my life that I [97:55] spent in the Marine Corps. Transitioning [97:57] out, it's a difficult thing. [97:59] >> She went on foreign soil. She went to [98:02] war. But the bravest thing she did is [98:05] when she asked for help. [98:11] So, I really appreciate it. [98:42] The great logos in sports, the Tartan [98:44] Titan. [98:45] adorned by crossing hockey sticks. It's [98:47] been well exactly that kind of a night [98:49] for the Tartan Titan and for the Simly [98:51] Spartans scoreless after 34 minutes of [98:54] play with Carl Warner. I'm Alex Wested [98:56] and once again Carl, we've talked about [98:58] through the first intermission, through [98:59] the second intermission that at some [99:01] point one of these teams is going to get [99:03] on the board, but it feels right now [99:05] like it's a night for the goalenders. [99:07] >> And you hope that it cuz one of these [99:11] goalenders is going to have to break [99:12] eventually and you just hope it is not [99:15] the mistake or the moment that ends the [99:18] game cuz that has got to be a terrible [99:20] feeling especially in a one-goal game. [99:23] on even to the quality with which both [99:25] teams has had. We've talked about before [99:28] opportunities, especially in those high [99:30] quality chances. [99:32] Both Simley and Tartan got them in that [99:34] second period. And in both cases, [99:36] Magguire for Tartan, hey for Simley, [99:38] they stood really strong over those 17 [99:41] minutes of play in the period of the [99:42] long change. [99:45] But for both of these teams, not [99:47] frequently have been they've been tied [99:49] after two periods this year. Simley is [99:51] 10 and0 when tied after two. Tarton is [99:54] 01 and0 when tied after two periods this [99:57] year. It's where both of these teams [99:59] find themselves right now. [100:01] >> And you got to imagine that both of [100:03] these teams before they head into their [100:05] next game. They'd love to be doing it on [100:07] a win. These teams at the bottom of the [100:10] Metro East respectively, [100:14] a win at this point of the season could [100:15] mean everything momentum wise. Well, and [100:18] especially for Simley, a team that won't [100:19] play again until January the 3rd against [100:22] West Tonka. They will then play at Egan [100:25] and at Doug Woo Arena against South St. [100:27] Paul. After that, they will only travel [100:30] three of the next handful of games, [100:32] three of the last 12 they have will be [100:34] at the vet in Inenver Grove Heights. [100:35] >> A 16 day break for [100:40] Simley after this game. And they won't [100:42] play another home game until we're about [100:44] ready to crown a college football [100:46] playoff champion. We haven't even played [100:47] the first round yet. [100:48] >> They'll take on Two Rivers at the Vet on [100:51] January the 10th. And there's our [100:53] upcoming schedule for Suburban Community [100:55] Channels TV19. It'll be all boys for the [100:58] rest of the month of December and into [101:00] January. Basketball tartan will be at [101:02] Mameidi. That'll be on Monday, December [101:04] the 22nd. Carl will be on the call for [101:06] that one on SEC TV19. Boys basketball as [101:09] well at the beautiful new facility up [101:11] there in White Bear Lake. The Blaine [101:12] Bengals taking on the White Bear Lake [101:14] Bears on Tuesday, December the 30th from [101:16] 8:00 p.m. And boys hockey perhaps a [101:19] state tournament preview in class A. The [101:21] Northfield Raiders taking on the Mameidi [101:23] Zephers on Wednesday, January the 7th. [101:28] >> Good stuff. We have a lot of exciting [101:31] events coming up here on SEC TV. [101:36] >> It is a busy time of year. Of course, [101:39] those watching on town square television [101:41] will note that there will be other Simly [101:43] athletics coming up. Most presumably, [101:46] the game against Two Rivers on January [101:48] the 10th will likely be a broadcast as [101:51] well as January the 8th on Town Square [101:53] TV. Toby Stangga is their sports [101:55] producer and Sabina Cneros at Master [101:57] Control and Ingrove Heights tonight. [102:00] Faceoff at Neutral Ice. It's been a long [102:03] slog, not just to get here to Tartan [102:06] Arena tonight, but for what the Titans [102:08] have in the schedule the rest of the [102:10] way. [102:11] >> And four out of their next five games [102:13] are on the road. So, you got to imagine [102:15] that kicking in a couple of home wins [102:17] here would mean a lot as they begin [102:19] their this road streak. [102:21] >> Similly this season in the third period, [102:23] a goal differential of minus two. [102:25] Tartan, meanwhile, has scored just twice [102:28] in the third period all season long. [102:31] They've scored both third period goals [102:34] in back-to-back games against Mora and [102:36] Northern Edge around Thanksgiving. [102:39] Entering this period tonight 94 minutes [102:41] 31 seconds of third period game time [102:45] without a goal and almost won there 20 [102:48] seconds in. [102:48] >> I don't know if that was the stick or if [102:50] that was the pad, but that almost took a [102:53] clinical bounce off of a skate and ended [102:56] up in the back of the leather. [102:59] And maybe with how these goalies are [103:01] playing, just one of those fluky plays [103:02] may be just what one of these teams [103:04] needs for victory tonight. [103:05] >> You love you love or you hate to see it, [103:07] but those fluke goals, I mean, when I [103:10] was in youth hockey, your coaches would [103:12] tell you all the time like the dirty [103:14] goals, they count as equally as the [103:16] pretty ones. [103:22] >> That's why you go to the net, you talk [103:23] about parking a body in front of the [103:25] net, garbage goals. Sometimes you just [103:27] need that. At one point color [103:29] commentator for hockey on Suburban [103:32] Community Channels, Allison Westad at [103:35] one point referred to those goals as [103:37] garbage goals. It's exactly what they [103:39] are. You go into the areas, you pick up [103:40] the rebound. [103:41] >> But one man's trash is another man's [103:43] treasure. Bingo. That treasure. Oh, that [103:46] was a not good looking hit. We still [103:48] don't have a whistle. Our one of our [103:50] officials is threatening to blow the [103:52] whistle. It didn't end up doing it. [103:53] Luckily, everybody's okay. [103:56] was the party who was down on the corner [103:58] boards. Campbell able to hold it in, but [104:00] it's cleared back out further by [104:01] >> O. That could have been really bad. [104:02] >> Another big collision there back into [104:04] the attacking zone. [104:06] >> I have seen a lot of knee injuries [104:08] happen from much worse hits than that. [104:11] >> There's a little bit of a gap by the [104:13] Zamboni doors as well. Watch out for [104:14] that here in the Tartan end in the third [104:16] period. Into the zone they go. Try to [104:19] carry it on. [104:20] >> Yeah, there looks to be a little bit of [104:22] a discrepancy in the Zambon doors. Not [104:24] quite as bad as Brearar Arena in Adina [104:27] where that one has by far the worst. [104:30] >> I mean, you would imagine that Adina [104:31] would have the best facilities when it [104:33] comes to that. But [104:34] >> Carl, I've been saying that for 10 years [104:36] now. [104:37] Back behind in the corner. Remacle tries [104:39] to fight for it. This one goes down the [104:41] length of the ice. Icing will be called [104:43] again. 1524 to go. Third period. I'll [104:46] put it out there in the world. Tartan [104:48] has not played an overtime game yet this [104:50] season. Simley has played one. They have [104:52] won that game in overtime. And ooh, I [104:56] that's hard to look at. That is really [104:58] hard to look at right there. [105:01] And I've seen enough ACL injuries in in [105:04] this week alone. I could not imagine [105:06] seeing one right there. [105:09] Both of those Parson Mahomes injuries [105:11] were non-cont. Well, Mahomes was not [105:13] really non-cont, but the one we just saw [105:15] here on the ice, that would have been [105:16] just about as much contact contact as [105:18] you could get. Jorgensson walks a line, [105:20] shot through, blocked out in front. [105:22] Rebound back out in front. Saved by Haye [105:23] and steered to the corner. [105:24] >> Hay standing on his head here to begin [105:26] the third period. [105:28] >> 30 shots faced, 30 saves, had 27 in his [105:32] lone previous appearance against Tarton [105:35] last season. [105:36] >> That pass was a little bit too weak and [105:39] easily could have set up a similly [105:40] chance. And still no whistles here. We [105:42] got a lot of folks yelling. [105:45] >> Mlen [105:46] leaves it behind. Things are getting [105:48] chippy. Remember the varsity game played [105:50] just before this ended with fireworks [105:53] >> as there's a puck in the Tarton bench [105:57] drawing once again higher from both [106:00] sides. [106:04] A faceoff resulting in the Tarton [106:06] defensive zone after this big hit. [106:10] Got to keep your head up. [106:13] And I tell you what, that wasn't the [106:16] most aggressive hit, but when you're [106:18] 6'5, 215, it's a little bit easier to [106:21] use that force. [106:24] >> Linger's a little longer, too, on the [106:25] physicality. That's for sure. [106:28] >> It's a little different to be hit by 5'9 [106:30] on buck 30 compared to [106:31] >> And as you mentioned, he's only a [106:34] junior. That Alex Bennis [106:36] >> Rosenthal dumps the puck into the zone. [106:39] Gotten to first by Waltman. escape [106:41] behind his own net looking for a screen. [106:43] A turnover. Chance created out in front. [106:45] Shot out in front. Hit off of the stick [106:48] out in front. It's Tyler James with [106:50] another good chance. Sh across. Fanned [106:53] on the attempt down low by Rosenthal. [106:57] >> James will tie up into the corner. James [106:59] and Markford on the battle. Rosenthal [107:02] unable to hold it on the blue line and [107:04] off sides. [107:05] >> It was called. Yeah. [107:08] And like I mentioned earlier, we're [107:09] sitting right here on this blue line. So [107:12] it was it leaked out. [107:15] >> Carl, I'm at the spot where I'm [107:16] perfectly in on the entry right on the [107:18] blue line. You're about You're probably [107:19] perfect on the out as well for that [107:22] matter. [107:22] >> I mean, I I only have 2020 vision in one [107:25] eye, but I did not need any assistance [107:27] there. [107:28] >> Well, put us in skates. Give us a [107:29] whistle. It's the worst that could [107:31] happen. [107:32] >> Martin will send this puck on in. I'll [107:34] tell you the worst thing that can happen [107:35] is uh 6'5 215 Alex Bennis tries to check [107:39] me [107:42] >> carried back in twoonone now for Tartan [107:45] >> almost lost his edge [107:46] >> Campbell drawing out front beautiful for [107:50] Pavle but just couldn't get the shot off [107:52] in time [107:53] >> and now more collisions and Tartan they [107:55] want a power play they won't get one [108:00] and the Tartan bench is furious Curious [108:04] that none of these collisions ended up [108:06] in a man advantage for them. Check out [108:09] first of all this twoon-one. [108:17] See certainly with Rutherford down in [108:19] front that the call could have been [108:21] warranted but none made. Jorgensson will [108:24] send it down in. [108:25] >> Jorgensson nearly sent into the [108:28] area there of the Simley bench. [108:30] Jorgensson with a nice defensive stick [108:32] to slow down the Simley attack. [108:33] Jorgensson has it back on his tape. Now [108:35] >> to say the very least, Jorgensson may [108:37] have just prevented a breakaway. [108:40] >> Pavle forced off the puck. Simley had [108:42] possession, lost it, now has it back. [108:45] >> Four minutes into this third period and [108:47] we've seen the exponential growth of the [108:52] physicality and everything we've wanted [108:54] to see in this game as tensions build. [108:57] We get a whistle. Behind the play is [108:59] Wild Rutherford. [109:01] >> Rutherford is down. He's slow to get up. [109:04] >> One of the smaller players on on Tarton. [109:09] >> 5'8, 166, four goals, five assists this [109:12] season. [109:13] >> And you look at the size difference [109:15] between him and Venice right there. [109:20] Well, the good news is that Rutherford [109:22] is skating on his own power to the bench [109:27] >> and the faceoff will be a last play [109:29] faceoff. It'll be at neutral ice. [109:34] >> We have OIO Maple Grove kids starting to [109:36] warm up here [109:38] >> for some late night, [109:40] >> I guess. So, [109:40] >> week night action. [109:46] Parent on the faceoff draw tried to win [109:49] it but couldn't do so. Sent back in. Hey [109:52] will freeze it. There'll be another [109:54] faceoff with 1241 to go in regulation. [109:56] Shots on goal. 3219 [109:59] in favor of Tartan. [110:00] >> You can feel the energy in this building [110:03] just swirling and swirling around and we [110:07] are ready for a goal here. Just when is [110:09] it going to arrive? [110:11] >> Anukica waits for a combatant. He'll [110:13] find one now. on Parent [110:16] to the left of Haye. Will someone be [110:18] excused? They will be. Parent is [110:20] excused. Frustration shown by Quinton [110:22] Remackl. Mlen will step into the dot and [110:25] conversations will continue. Ramackle [110:28] will be excused. [110:31] And what do we have here? [110:34] >> Musical chairs at the faceoff dot. [110:38] Rack excused. Parent back in faceoff [110:40] win. And Ramackle got it anyways. [110:45] Tesser sends it down, brings it around [110:47] to the corner for Parin. Put back to the [110:49] blue line for Rosenthal. Knocked down [110:50] and intercepted by Simley. Fight for the [110:52] puck. One by the Spartans. Carried back [110:54] out now by Immel into the zone. They'll [110:57] come. Nice speed here. Goes to the blue [111:01] line. Looks to try to go to the blue [111:03] line rather for Tesser. Tesser tied up [111:05] in the half wall. Here's Parrot. Parrot [111:06] can walk right up here. [111:08] >> He does. NEAR SIDE DOT SHOT OFF THE POST [111:11] WITH THE SHOT. unspeakably unlucky. [111:16] And Parent has got his hands on his [111:18] helmet. He can't believe it. The Simly [111:21] players, they're giving each other high [111:22] fives on the bench, realizing just how [111:25] close that was. [111:30] Check this out. You watch this, Deak. [111:33] And then, oh my goodness. You could hear [111:35] that from South Carolina. [111:38] >> Five shots tonight for Carter Parent. [111:41] Not there. Another one into the rafters. [111:44] Another face off resulting. [111:46] >> Yeah, that one went off one of our our [111:49] wall units here. [111:56] Now 12:01 to go. We've just hit the 8:00 [111:59] hour here in Oakdale. [112:02] This was radio would be calling for a [112:04] station ID, but thankfully it's not. [112:07] >> We don't have to pause 15 seconds. [112:08] >> We do not. We won't miss anything [112:11] either. [112:11] >> The wonderful world of radio. [112:15] >> Markford on the faceoff draw. Lost it [112:17] this time. Good clean win on the [112:19] faceoff. Well done by O'Shea. [112:22] Through center. Two on two, but [112:24] possession not gathered by Shrier and [112:26] sent down in Latrell gets to it first [112:29] for Tart. Latrell unable to clear it. [112:32] Drops it off. Leaves it there [112:33] beautifully for Shy. Sh further ahead [112:36] was looking for Markford into the [112:38] defensive zone. Another icing 1139 to go [112:42] in regulation time. [112:43] >> You'd like to believe that Tartan has [112:45] been in a big control of the overall [112:48] game, time of possession, shots on goal, [112:51] but it's just going to take one mistake [112:53] by Tartan here as we get a look at both [112:55] coaches. And of course, neither of those [112:57] coaches wants to be on the losing end [112:59] tonight, especially after both of these [113:00] teams have gotten into the deep water. [113:03] Who's going to sink and who's going to [113:05] swim? [113:07] >> Faceoff one as the refrain has been [113:10] tonight by Tarton sent down the length [113:12] of the ice. We'll do it again. [113:15] Kich the head coach for Tarton in his [113:18] ninth season. Ben Horse in his second [113:21] graduated from Hastings in 2008. Go [113:24] Raiders enters this game today 1619 [113:27] and0. who was a Metro East allconerence [113:29] player for Hastings and so far as I [113:31] could find did not go and play hockey at [113:35] a collegiate level. [113:40] Faceoff win in the attacking zone. Sh [113:45] left it and off back through center. [113:46] It's gathered up by Ellner. Delayed off [113:49] sides would be called. Shier picks it [113:51] up. Sh trying the left side trying to [113:55] get around one last Spartan. Tethered a [113:57] pass through but off of a stick and [114:00] taken back over by Fitzgerald. Further [114:02] ahead a Spartan tripped up. No penalty [114:04] call. Hughesman into the attacking zone. [114:07] Hughesman forced to the corner on a good [114:09] defensive play made. Two players in [114:11] James and Jorgensson forcing him to the [114:13] corner. Back out in front. Shot through. [114:16] Save made by Maguire onto the near side. [114:19] James further ahead for Shire. [114:22] Cleared back out. Husman will send it [114:24] down. Off the end boards it goes. [114:27] Jorgensson banned on it. Taken back by [114:30] Kennedy. [114:31] And still it goes loose into the slot [114:34] where it's gathered up by Alex Bennis. [114:37] Into the defensive zone it goes. [114:39] Hughesman held on to Campbell. Campbell [114:42] walked to the slot. Stick was lifted and [114:44] gathered now out by Immel. Here go the [114:47] Spartans into the attacking zone as Emma [114:49] will backhand it down and low. [114:50] >> Jamie Kennedy on the forche. He's played [114:53] an impressive shift. [114:55] >> Just over 10 minutes to play in [114:57] regulation. [114:58] >> Rosenthal was able to clear the zone for [115:00] Tarton. Simley sends it back to the [115:03] defensive zone. Campbell will pick it up [115:04] there. Rosenthal [115:07] cycling looks for a pass further up [115:09] ahead. Spartans almost with too many. It [115:11] goes down in the defensive zone as icing [115:14] is waved off [115:16] to the far side. Gathered up through [115:18] neutral ice. Schwab into the attacking [115:21] zone. He'll try the right side. Schwab [115:22] shot on. Save Maguire. Puck loose on the [115:24] end boards. Off to the far side. Pavl [115:29] sends it back down. Pass through out in [115:31] front. Rosenthal takes out the man and [115:33] Trafford. And a good defensive play [115:35] sends Tartan back through neutral ice. [115:38] Dumped off the end boards. Back in [115:40] pursuit, Milner. Milner hands it off now [115:44] for Hughesman. Cleared back through [115:45] center. Knocked out with a glove by [115:47] Martin. Sent through here to the near [115:49] side. Tesser holds a line. Shot through [115:52] in a redirection off of the skate of [115:54] Pavville and Milner both to the corner. [115:56] >> Charlie Campbell just a couple feet away [115:59] from what could have been his rebound. [116:01] >> Martin trying to leave the puck further [116:03] on the dot. It goes back out through [116:05] center off the skate of Campbell. Tesser [116:07] reathers at center ice. 902 left to go. [116:09] Regulation time. Still no scoring [116:12] tonight. [116:14] Great edge work by Fishbach as he tries [116:16] to create the attacking zone. Try [116:19] Latrell off the end boards for Martin. [116:22] Brings it back out. Gained as far as [116:24] center. Knocked down by Wallace and into [116:26] the defensive zone for Simley. 842 to [116:29] go. Further ahead. Milner [116:32] up on the boards for Schwah. We haven't [116:34] seen much tonight of Tacto. one of the [116:37] big impact players for Simley a year [116:39] ago. And now we will have heads collide [116:42] and hopefully cooler heads prevail in [116:43] front. And there it goes. [116:45] >> They do not prevail. [116:52] >> Carter Martin [116:54] is on his way to the penalty box after [116:57] he just dunked a Spartan onto the ice. [117:04] There are times where the officials jinx [117:07] may seem like one thing. There are times [117:08] where the announcers jinx seems like [117:10] another. This is a whole other ball [117:12] game. [117:13] >> Oh, that was a flop. That's exactly what [117:15] it was. It was a huge flop. [117:21] Ernie Fitzgerald doing his best LeBron [117:24] impression. [117:27] And I'm not saying that I'm not saying [117:29] that Martin didn't push him. I'm just [117:31] saying that maybe [117:34] it's not the hardest of falls [117:37] for Fitzgerald. [117:38] >> Hey, holds on for the face off here. 8 [117:40] seconds gone on this power play. [117:42] >> But if you're Fitzgerald, that's the [117:43] smart play. I mean, because first of [117:46] all, first of all, Martin should not be [117:48] doing any shoving there. So, if you're [117:50] going to get shoved, you may as well [117:51] make it look dramatic and maybe earn [117:53] yourself a power play. That's exactly [117:54] what he did. [117:56] Third power play of the night for Simley [117:59] >> with the score being scoreless. I don't [118:01] have to tell you they haven't scored on [118:03] a power play yet so far. [118:06] Spartans through neutral into the [118:08] attacking zone. They carry. Onik leaves [118:12] it at the half wall. Walking for Immel. [118:15] Any in the corner. Immel looks to try to [118:18] go with it in the corner. Onik pass [118:21] through into the slot. Immel picks it [118:22] up. Far side corner. Immel [118:26] pushed down and low. Found space for [118:28] Kennedy with a walking chance. Shot [118:30] through just missing the open net was [118:33] Immel and all the way back through [118:35] center. It's cleared. Picked up by [118:36] Milner. [118:39] Spartans have to wait for onsides to be [118:41] okay. They do. [118:42] >> Power play about halfway over [118:46] >> as this one's picked up and sent down by [118:48] Benny Mlen. Simley's gotten chances on [118:51] this power play, but the refrain [118:53] tonight. Neither team able to change [118:56] that egg on their board. [118:59] Schwab looks to start the breakout for [119:01] Simley. 47 seconds remaining on this [119:04] power play. 717 to go in third period [119:06] play. Schwab tried to cut towards the [119:09] middle. Kept the puck on his stick after [119:11] a redirection. Shot through. Redirection [119:14] out in front. Held on to loose by [119:15] Magguire. Score [119:20] Daniel Oheay POWER PLAY GOAL. SIMLEY [119:24] LEADS ONE- NOTHING. [119:31] And all Nathan Maguire can do is skate [119:35] to the boards and back as that rebound [119:38] was one too many. [119:41] >> Just couldn't get it covered up. The [119:44] rebound was there. [119:46] And now Simley, [119:48] they're on top. They may be 10 shots [119:51] behind 34 to 24, but they're up where it [119:54] matters. The goal counter. O'Shea picks [119:58] up his first goal of the season, his [120:00] fifth point. Had an assist on Tuesday [120:02] against Albert Lee. He'll take the goal [120:04] tonight, putting Simley in front [120:09] as icing is called here. And another [120:11] faceoff in the Simley zone. [120:14] What a moment in this game. How many [120:17] times did we say special teams would [120:19] play a factor in this third period [120:23] >> now under seven minutes to play. We are [120:25] in the back end of the third period. [120:28] Tartan, they got to get desperate here. [120:31] And when will the conversation begin [120:34] about pulling Maguire? [120:38] >> Cleared back out through center. It's [120:39] knocked down there. You think Tartan has [120:41] played so well to this point that they [120:43] don't need a 4minute five minute pull. I [120:46] think they're going to be much closer to [120:47] 90 seconds. [120:48] >> Rutherford into the zone [120:50] >> if they don't tie the game even strength [120:51] before then [120:52] >> and especially with the amount of zone [120:54] time they've had to bookend the [120:55] beginning and end of the periods [120:57] tonight. [120:57] >> No reason to panic just yet for Cole [121:00] Leech. [121:03] >> Rosenthal will walk on the right side. [121:06] Pavle. Pavle slows. Try to put it back [121:09] through space. Campbell knocks him off [121:11] the puck. Sent back down and low. [121:12] Rosenthal in pursuit. Magguire stops it [121:14] behind the net. If it stands right now, [121:17] this will be the first loss for goender [121:20] Nathan Maguire against Simley. Race for [121:22] the puck is on and waved off for Mack [121:25] with the effort to get around Walman. [121:29] Nearly won that race. [121:32] >> Mlen on the turnover. [121:33] >> Tartan trying to win a few more battles [121:35] here. See if they can get a puck on [121:36] that. [121:37] >> Into the corner it goes. Mlen pushes it [121:40] behind for Parent trying to get cleared [121:42] out of the way by Waltman and held in. [121:45] Jorgensson shot stung to the netting off [121:47] the stick of Everett Haye and a face off [121:49] in Simley's defensive zone. Both teams [121:51] with a timeout. 534 to go in regulation [121:54] time. [121:54] >> You got two timeouts left. And how big [121:57] will that be for both of these teams if [122:00] they get used? When will they be used? [122:04] You got to imagine that if you're [122:05] Similey, you're going to want, excuse [122:07] me, well, for both teams, but for Tartan [122:09] especially, you're going to want your [122:10] top scorers out there for really all of [122:12] these last five minutes [122:14] with that goal. Tartan now another icing [122:16] call here with that goal. Now, Tartan in [122:19] the third period this year has been [122:20] outscored two- 15 in period number [122:25] three. [122:28] Now, Ben Horsch [122:31] liking what he's seeing. They're up one- [122:34] nothing. Is it going to stay that way? [122:38] >> Shots on goal. 3524 in favor of Tartan. [122:42] Simley leading where it matters. One to [122:44] nothing. [122:48] Cleared out through center. Dumped back [122:50] in by Rackl off the stick of Mlen. We'll [122:53] keep an eye on Nathan Maguire should he [122:54] choose to head to the bench. [122:58] Cleared back out and down. Knocked down [122:59] by Jorgensson at center ice. Jorgensson [123:02] off of the stick of Parent. Knocked down [123:04] back there. Ramackle carries it into the [123:06] zone before it's taken over by Simley. [123:08] Big collision from Parent as a puck goes [123:10] back down into the tartan end. [123:12] >> Under five minutes to play. [123:17] >> Mlen [123:19] further for Parent back down and out. [123:22] Gathered up Tarton. That's that is as [123:25] off sides as an offsides has ever been. [123:27] >> Bennis was carrying the puck in. Parent [123:30] was trapped down and low. Did not get [123:32] out in time. [123:33] >> I'm not sure if Bennis saw where Parent [123:36] was. [123:38] >> Well, what's at stake here? Both teams [123:40] looking for their first Metro East [123:42] Conference points of the season. [123:45] And Simley looking for their first win [123:47] against Tarton headto-head. [123:49] In the last five times, they have [123:51] attempted to defeat the Titans. [123:55] They've remembered the Titans. [123:57] Now it's time for them to remember them [123:59] in a good way. [124:01] >> Gathered up by Ellner trying to go for [124:03] the right side. And lo and behold, [124:05] another icing call with 422 left to go. [124:08] Regulation time. [124:08] >> Before we get to the real meat and [124:10] potatoes finish here of this regulation [124:12] period, I just want to acknowledge that [124:14] this uni this uniform match up tonight [124:16] has been amazing. I love this old style [124:19] New York Rangers look for the sim for [124:21] Simley and then these lightning bolt [124:23] breezers for Tartan. Say less. [124:26] Absolutely beautiful. [124:28] >> Can never go wrong with powder blue. [124:30] That is for sure. In a jersey. [124:32] >> Well, unless you're the Minnesota Twins. [124:34] >> Well, there is that. [124:34] >> You win a lot of games wearing those in [124:37] 2020 and then refused to wear them in [124:39] the playoffs. [124:40] >> Sent back out and through. Chance here [124:43] now. Fishbach. [124:44] >> Can he get the pass? No, [124:45] >> he cannot. Rubbed out of the play on the [124:47] corner by Latell. And now Lattell and [124:50] Fish back tangled up behind the play. [124:51] that was holding or hooking or I cannot [124:55] believe that James didn't draw that [124:57] penalty there. [124:58] >> Fishbach will gain the red line. He'll [125:00] dump it in. Magguire stops it behind. [125:02] 343 to go. Third period play. One- [125:04] nothing. Simley in front. Sh looks to be [125:08] tired at the end of a shift there. [125:10] Knocked off the hand of Campbell. [125:12] Carried back into the zone now by Emil. [125:14] Emmel into the corner. Looks to go with [125:17] it. Looks to find a receiver. sends it [125:20] through the slot. No intended receiver [125:22] foul. Sh back behind. He'll pick it up [125:25] back right in front of his net to draw [125:27] the penalty. He does. Titans to the [125:29] power play. [125:30] >> And here you pull the goalie. The entire [125:34] Simley bench taking an aggressive sigh [125:37] as they realize they're going to have [125:39] one more major hurdle. [125:42] And it looks like we're going to have a [125:43] timeout. [125:45] Timeout is called by Simley. [125:49] >> Timeout, Simley. The penalty will be [125:51] tripping and the guilty party will be [125:54] Riley Annic. [125:56] Tom, the penalty will be 1344. [126:00] And [126:00] >> what do you think here? And uh I like [126:04] the what I really like here from Simile [126:06] is the decision to call timeout uh [126:08] before the power play starts because [126:11] they want their best killers out there [126:13] fully fully rested. So I don't blame [126:15] them one bit. But the other end of that [126:18] sword is you're going to give Tartan a [126:21] chance to get their best um their best [126:23] power play weapons the chance to get [126:26] rested as well. 134. [126:29] >> The streak continues for Tartan [126:32] >> and at this point [126:35] have not scored a third period goal in [126:39] 104 minutes of third period time, [126:44] >> 104 long minutes. [126:48] In fact, you could argue they've scored [126:50] just one third period goal against a [126:52] Minnesota based team. [126:55] Scores from around the Minnesota State [126:56] High School League tonight. Eden Prairie [126:58] 63 over Elk River Zimmerman in the Adina [127:02] Holiday Classic. Upcoming schedule for [127:03] the Spartans. You can see it on your [127:05] screen. Couple of tough road contests at [127:08] Egan at Chicago Lakes. Chicago Lakes [127:10] figures to be in that 4A conversation. [127:13] Hill Murray defeats Hastings tonight, [127:14] seven to nothing. [127:15] >> We don't need to talk about that one. [127:16] >> At the Hastings Civic Arena. Moving on, [127:19] for Carl's sake, South St. Paul leads [127:21] St. Paul in the co-op two to one at Doug [127:23] Woo Arena. One- nothing the Owatana [127:25] Huskies over Rochester male. Those are [127:27] all the scores so far coming in tonight. [127:30] >> And then Hastings getting a chance to [127:32] host Hockey Day Minnesota this year. [127:34] It's going to be a great time just east [127:37] of town. [127:40] Tartan power play. Are they going to be [127:41] able to tie this game as that one finds [127:43] the net? [127:44] >> They have not yet pulled Nathan Maguire [127:49] >> for the extra attack. [127:50] >> And honestly, I don't blame them. I [127:51] don't blame them because 3 minutes is a [127:53] lot of time for an offense that's been [127:55] pretty productive. I don't see why you [127:58] would pull the goalender here. I I [128:00] honestly think you should go the whole [128:02] power play. [128:05] >> Almost got a nice deflection there. [128:07] >> Parent gathers it up in the corner. [128:10] Parent looks to go for a pass. Was [128:12] looking to connect with Rutherford and [128:13] goes all the way back out through [128:14] center. [128:15] >> A little bit too much sauce on that. Sh [128:18] looks for Rutherford. Fourth [128:21] >> way done with this power play. Still a [128:23] lot of time left with the man advantage [128:24] for Tartan. [128:25] >> Parent off of a skate gathered up by [128:28] Milner. Sent back out. Parent to the [128:31] near side boards. Ly Rutherford. [128:33] >> Rutherford is tired. [128:37] >> That's flung all the way back down the [128:38] length of the ice. [128:39] >> Carton's going to need to switch over to [128:41] their second unit here. Martin [128:45] Rutherford still on the ice. Comes back [128:47] here to the near side. [128:48] >> Only one Titan has changed so far. [128:51] >> Parent into the attacking zone. Parent [128:54] lost the edge on the way into the zone. [128:56] Knocked down off the stick of Sh. This [128:58] will be high sticking. An infraction if [129:00] they touch it, but valuable seconds off [129:02] the clock and now they'll touch it. 50 [129:04] remaining on the power play. 205 to go [129:07] in the game. Yeah, and this has been a [129:10] clunky at best power play so far for [129:12] Tartan. And at this point, we're a [129:15] minute and 10 seconds into it. Time is [129:17] dwindling away. [129:19] And before you know it, we're going to [129:21] hear that final horn. Whether or not [129:23] Simley is still going to be up one- [129:24] nothing when that happens. [129:26] >> Daniel O'Shea, the power play goal [129:28] scorer for Simley [129:30] on the faceoff dot. [129:34] He'll oppose Tyler Pavl in the spot. [129:36] Faceoff one by Tarton. [129:39] Campbell will gain neutralized. 40 [129:42] seconds remaining on the power play. [129:44] Campbell into the slot for Jorgensson [129:46] and the pass not connected upon. Mlen to [129:50] the near wall. Mlen looks for a play. [129:53] Campbell gathers at the blue line trying [129:55] to walk it in. And a good skate play [129:57] made by Noah Schwab. Mlen [130:01] with 20 seconds to go on the power play. [130:03] Slows down into the zone. Jorgensson [130:05] back out in front off sides. [130:07] >> Jam ball SHOT THROUGH. SAVED BY HAYE. [130:09] Jorgensson the backhanded pass through. [130:11] Cleared out and down the length of the [130:13] ice. [130:13] >> This is going to be the end of the power [130:15] play. So at what point now are they [130:17] going to pull Nathan Magcguire. [130:20] >> Campbell [130:22] further ahead. [130:24] >> The bench was ready to call him, but [130:26] after the puck got sent back down, he [130:28] had to retreat. [130:30] >> Campbell create space. Now here is space [130:34] for Tesser. [130:35] >> Maguire looking. Now Maguire's gone. [130:37] Tesser shot from a long way out. H [130:39] creates a rebound. It goes off the end [130:40] boards onto the far side. [130:42] >> Under a minute into the corner it goes. [130:44] Immel cleared back out through center [130:46] and unknown. I is called. It's waved off [130:49] with 50 to play. [130:53] >> Sh gains neutral ice. Tries a left side. [130:56] Quinton Racco puts it into the skate of [130:59] Shy into the corner. Backhanded pass [131:00] through the slot. Picked up there by [131:02] Bennis. Another drive out to the near [131:04] side. [131:04] >> That puck went right through the slot. [131:07] >> 30 seconds. [131:08] >> Parent rings it around for Mlen. [131:10] Rutherford tries to get to it. Spartans [131:13] trying to tie it to the boards. Drama a [131:14] shot. Another save by [131:16] >> I can't believe they let him just walk [131:17] in there like that. [131:18] >> Rutherford try to pass back. It goes all [131:20] the way down the length of the ice [131:22] towards the empty net. Icing waved off [131:24] again. [131:24] >> Absolutely not icing. 10 seconds. Does [131:27] Tartan have one last breath? [131:29] Parent knocks it down the officials [131:31] crease from Mackaw. Backhanded in. 5 [131:33] seconds to play. To the boards goes [131:35] Milner. And as time will expire, a [131:39] gritty one to nothing win on the power [131:43] play goal by Daniel O'Shea. And the 38 [131:47] save shut out for Everett Haye. A [131:50] massive win for the Sinly Spartans in [131:52] Oakdale tonight. [131:55] >> And the Titans just [131:59] absolutely defrosted here. They're just [132:02] >> not exactly the evening they had in mind [132:04] after they played so well going into the [132:07] third period. Really the entire third [132:09] period too. We mentioned it. I mean the [132:11] first mistake ended up being enough. [132:14] >> And it was a power play goal by Daniel [132:17] O'Shea for Simley. And for a team in the [132:22] Tartan Titans who had defended well [132:24] tonight, who had really bounced out well [132:26] tonight, did not give Simley a lot of [132:28] opportunities in high danger areas. You [132:31] said it, that one mistake was enough. [132:33] >> It absolutely was. And tonight they're [132:37] separated by one goal. And Simley, who [132:39] have been losers of the last five games, [132:44] they finally end that streak against [132:46] Tarton. [132:49] So, the Tartan Titans tonight fall one [132:52] to nothing. They are shut out for the [132:54] second time this season. The first was [132:56] in their season opener, a 12 nothing [132:58] loss to St. Thomas Academy. But for [133:02] Tartan, best part of everything, they'll [133:04] have another chance on Saturday against [133:06] the Packers of South St. Paul. [133:07] >> Yes, they will. And it'll be here [133:11] right here at the Tartan Arena as some [133:13] of the players gather mid ice. Here are [133:15] some highlights. And it was a great game [133:17] tonight and it really felt like Carl, [133:19] especially with how things were going in [133:21] that first period of play. The amount of [133:24] zone time that had been given to Tartan [133:26] at the beginning and at the end of it, [133:28] it felt like this was not going to be a [133:30] one to nothing game and that's what it [133:31] was. [133:33] >> Yes, it was. It really felt like and you [133:35] hear the iron clank there. It felt like [133:37] we were going to have at least three to [133:38] three, four to four. We only ended up [133:40] having one goal in this entire game and [133:42] it was off of a leaky rebound. [133:45] Opportunities continued, opportunities [133:47] persisted. And not to say, of course, [133:50] that the goalender, Nathan Magcguire for [133:52] Tartan tonight, did not have a good [133:53] night. He was phenomenal. [133:54] >> He absolutely, [133:55] >> but he blinked one time and that was it. [133:59] >> So, the Titans tonight, they fall by [134:01] that score line of 1 to nothing. They [134:03] are now 45 and0 in the regular season [134:06] play in 2025 26. They drop to 0 and4 in [134:10] Metro East Conference play. Simley [134:12] improves to 54 and0. They are 1 and2 in [134:16] Metro East Conference play. Our crew [134:19] tonight here in Oakdale, David Skyler, [134:22] Joe Sigourney, Chris Stozman, Seth [134:25] Zabel, Liam Splain, Michael Kahee, and [134:27] Ben Brandon. For Kyle Warner, I'm Alex [134:30] Westad. One- nothing the final tonight [134:32] in Oakdale. You've been watching Tartan [134:35] Boys hockey on Suburban Community [134:36] Channels TV19. And hey, we'll talk [134:39] again. [135:06] Go rest you Mary gentlemen. Let nothing [135:10] you dismay. [135:13] Remember Christ our Savior was born on [135:18] Christmas day [135:20] to save us all from Satan's power when [135:24] we were gone astray. [135:27] Oh tidings [135:29] of comfort and joy.
