Steel Earn Big Win at Home;
Series at 2-1
Bensenville, IL (April 22nd, 2007)
– Down 2-0 in the best of 7 series the Steel knew they
had to get a win Sunday night, and they did just that.
Waterloo’s Matt Arhontas put the Blackhawks on the board
first at only 1:44 into the game, but the Steel would
not let that discourage them scoring the next four goals
in the period.
Corey Chakeen, Matt Godlewski and Andy Miele all had 2
goals a piece in the game, while both of Miele’s and
Chakeen’s goals came in the first period.
Chakeen evened the score at one, and Andy Miele lit the
lamp and gave Chicago the lead at 13:24; Ryan Raven was
credited with the assist, his first of two assists on
the night. Chakeen scored his second of the night at
only 27 seconds later from a pass from Luka Vidmar. On
the powerplay Sean Dolan worked the puck around and
Miele got his second of the night by Waterloo goaltender
Matt DiGirolamo. Waterloo got two more past Steel tender
Rob Madore in the first leaving the score 4-3 going into
the first intermission.
The second period was not as eventful in the scoring
sense but it was a battle between the teams, just as the
first period was. Matt Godlewski netted his first of the
night while on the powerplay; Drew LeBlanc and Dan Ryan
were given the assists on the goal. Godlewski scored his
second goal of the night in the 3rd period and Raven
earned his second assist of the night on Godlewski’s
goal.
Rob Madore was again solid in net saving 31 of the 34
shots he faced in net earning the win for Chicago.
The 3 stars of the game were: 3rd Matt Godlewski, 2nd
Andy Miele, and 1st Corey Chakeen.
