Team defense and offense cause for Strikers advance
The Mile High Strikers advanced to the round of 32 in the CyberDunk Cup on day 16. If you look at the stat sheet, you should see a couple interesting things. First, and perhaps most obvious, the lack of shots by the opponent Richmond Hill Mazzz. They only challenged Shuttem "Shutters" Down fourteen times, giving the stud goalie easy means to a shut out.
This is probably due to the second interesting fact: everyone on the team registered numbers on the defensive end, either a takeaways, hits, or blocked shots. "No one took the night off in their own end," coach Stanley McTavish said proudly.
And they were all rewarded for their defensive services, for in the +/- column, everybody reads +1. The team only scored three goals, but everyone was on the ice for one. "We're a team on both ends of the ice, deep, well-rounded, balanced. Nights like these don't surprise me."
Mike Stagg started the scoring at 11:34 in the first. He took a pass from Gilbert Perrault after Brenden Morrow had stolen the puck in the defensive end. Perrault was credited with an assist.
Rio King followed up the scoring quickly with another play that started in the defensive end. HugeBeard PaulMara got down and dirty to block a shot from Konstantin Konstantinov. Vladimir King passed it up ice to his brother, who powered to the net and scored.
Seek And Destroy got the third goal for the Strikers in the third period, at 1:34. Tony Silvio laid a hard hit into the Lazar Lazarov, which caused a turn over. Bash Brother One then passed it up to Seek And Destroy, who wristed it home.
With that win, the Strikers advanced to the fourth round, which will be played on day 25. Their next opponent is the Wanganui COWz.

Too cool for Cool Runnings: Strikers Advance
Though the underdog team Cool Runnings played admirably against the Mile High Strikers in the second round of the CyberDunk Cup, the favored team was too much to handle. Goalie Shuttem "Shutters" Down posted 21 saves in the 3-0 shut out, and Vice King had two goals.
King scored his first goal at 7:12 of the first. He ripped a wrist shot past Goldberg The Goalie on a nice pass from HugeBeard PaulMara to give the Strikers a 1-0 lead. Goldberg had 40 saves in the losing effort.
In the second period, Mike Stagg won the battle of the brothers. Robbie Stagg, like Mike, plays right wing, but he ended up on the losing end of the contest. Mike, known as "Staggy" to the Strikers, scored a goal a 9:40 of the second, getting assists from Tom Cepparulo and Gilbert Perrault, and making the score 2-0.
King scored the final goal of the game at 8:35 of the third. He and his two brothers, Rio and Vladimir, cycled the puck in the offensive zone for some time before Vice took the pass in the slot and put it top shelf. The final score was 3-0.

The Strikers were quick to add to their lead. Vice King scored at 1:20, getting assists from both of his brothers, Rio and Vladimir. That line has been unstoppable in USA Division 2 play.

Seek and Destroy put up a tally of his own early in the third, getting at assist from HugeBeard PaulMara. Danny Heatley broke the shut out at 7:04, putting a puck past Striker goalie Shuttem Down.
