CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati Cyclones got a four point night from Jimmy Kilpatrick and a 27 save effort from Jeremy Smith as the club pounded the Kalamazoo Wings, 6-1 on Saturday night. Matt Pierce netted a pair of goals and had an assist in the victory as well. The crowd of 6485 was the third-largest of the season and 15th largest in club history. The victory also propelled the club into the North Division lead.
The Cyclones scored the lone goal of the first period when All-Star rookie Matt Pierce slipped a backhanded shot past Wings netminder Ryan Nie for his 21st score of the season. Brett Motherwell and Brett Robinson had the assists on the score. The score was Pierce's sixth first goal of the seasonsecond-most in the ECHL. The shots in the period favored Cincinnati, 16-10. Cincinnati did have a minute and 18 seconds of five-on-three power play time in the stanza, but were unable to convert it.
Cincinnati blew the game open with three goals in the second period, the ninth time the club has lit the lamp at least three times in a stanza. All three scores came via the power play, as the Cyclones went three-for-seven with the man-advantage in the frame. Jimmy Kilpatrick's fourth goal of the year at 8:28 came from Scott Reynolds and Dustin Sproat. Barret Ehgoetz got his 17th score on a five-on-three tally at 18:14 as Kilpatrick and Reynolds recorded the helpers. Kilpatrick's second of the frame and fifth of the year in another five-on-three situation came from Jason Jozsa and Ehgoetz. Cincinnati spent 9:53 on the power play in the period. The shots again favored the Cyclones, 12-5.
In the third, Pierce's second goal of the night and 22nd of the campaign pushed the lead to 5-0. Brian O'Hanley and Motherwell had the helpers. Brock Sheahan's second goal of the year at eight minutes closed the scoring for Cincinnatiwhich held a 6-0 lead. A power play goal for Trent Daavetilla at 11:15his eighth of the campaignclosed the scoring. The Wings outshot Cincinnati, 13-6, in the periodbut the Cyclones won the shots battle, 34-28.

Applause to Mr. Morehouse tonight. I'm pretty sure he was under the skin of the entire Kwings (pronounced "quings") bench, including the coach.
I counted 4 penalties he drew including a 4. He perfectly played the role of the pest tonight AND did his job after his goalie took a (intentional) stick to the face.
Worked hard.
Lost some blood.
Pissed off an entire team.
Nice job #28!!! Thats a good night's work right there.

Morehouse has guts-that's for sure. Bootland is big, strong and mean and a cheap shot artist as well. Morehouse got mugged by Bootland but looked none the worse for wear. Sproat owes Morehouse big time for taking over for him after the goalie incident.
Great crowd again tonight. I'm looking forward to Monday. I'm hoping for a sub 500 crowd to remind me of Mighty Duck playoff hockey at the Gardens.

The thing that bugged me about Bootland taking the real cheap shot in the 3rd was the fact that he kept his gloves on. What a ***** to leave his gloves on and punch someone. A real man would've dropped the mitts. Also, shouldn't he have gotten a game misconduct for having 2 fights in your opinion? Oh wait no, dumb refs think a cheap 2-3 punches with the gloves on is just roughing.
Oh well, I'll take the win but I have a gripe about that particular play during the game. |

Watching Jozsa on the point of a 5 on 3 power play is more disturbing than the prospect of a lap dance from Roseanne Barr.

LOL!! A "classic" hrc666. Maybe poor Jozsa needs an eye exam courtesy of Midwest Eye Center since a majority of his passes are directed towards his teammates skates rather than their sticks!! He's created new hockey lingo - a "tape to steel" pass rather than "tape to tape". |

"Tape to Steel"--outstanding.
I noticed that #2 had far less pp time than usual tonight. There was a sequence (in which #2 wasn't involved) where I counted something like 8 straight passes tape to tape. |
