NEWS STORY
Madore Stops 74 as Steel Hold
Off Rough Riders
Bensenville, IL (April 3, 2007)
– Four days after Green Bay goalie Adam Avramenko set a
league record saving 70 of the 72 shots he faced,
Chicago Steel goalie Rob Madore bettered that feat by
saving 74 of 77 shots in the Steel shoot-out victory
Tuesday night at the Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville. This
breaks the aforementioned league record that was
recently set by Avramenko.
Chicago came out of the locker room ready to face off
against the league leader in points, Cedar Rapids, with
a 5-3 powerplay goal by Danny Ryan 7:10 into the game.
The Rough Riders evened it, but Sean Dolan gave the
Steel the 2-1 lead heading into the locker room for the
first intermission.
The second period was a battle for both teams, but Rough
Rider Jacob Cepis was able to get one by Rob Madore, who
faced 29 shots in the second period, and the score was
2-2 going into the 3rd. Ryan Raven gave the Steel their
third lead of the game 3:32 into the third, but Pat
Cannone evened it back up at 3 with 2:27 left in the
game.
Regulation and a five minute sudden death overtime was
not enough to decide a winner and the teams went into a
5 man shoot out. After missing their first shoot out
attempt, the Steel followed up with three consecutive
goals by Andy Miele, Dolan and Corey Chakeen. Madore
stopped 3 of the 5 Rough Riders shooters, giving the
Steel the victory.
The Three Stars of the game were 1st: Rob Madore, 2nd:
Corey Chakeen, 3rd: Danny Ryan.
The Steel return to action on Friday, April 6th at 7:30
pm at The Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville. Free team
photos will be given to the first 250 fans, and there is
Skate with the Steel immediately following the game.
The game may also be seen on the B2 network.
