Notes on Elmira's game against Canisius:
Elmira 3, Canisius 0
To put it mildly, Canisius was bucking long odds here, as the Ice
Grffins have never beaten Elmira. Their record against the Soaring
Eagles now stands at 0-23. Elmira got it going early, as Joe Spinelli
fed Bernie Cassell in front and Cassell beat Canisius goalie Derek
Slater with 37 seconds gone in the first. Bob McGee then made it 2-0
at the 3:01 mark of the second. But all this was just preliminary
stuff before the main event of the evening, which got going 3:56 into
the third. Canisius defenseman Tony Zeniuk was checked heavily into
the Elmira bench, and he took offense at that, swinging his stick at
some of the players seated there. This precipitated a stick-and-fist-
swinging brawl near the Elmira bench, centering around a fight between
Elmira's Kyle Kirkpatrick and Canisius' Aaron Moss, while Elmira's Joe
Caswell and Canisius' Paul Sullivan got into it at center ice. Order
was eventually restored, and Kirkpatrick and Moss were hit with dis-
qualification penalties. Caswell and Sullivan each got game miscon-
ducts, and three other players on each team got various and sundry
minors (Zeniuk was not tossed, but wound up with a double minor).
These were just some of the 23 penalties that were called in a wild and
wooly third period. Oh, yes, there was another goal, scored by Bob
Moore at the 6:58 mark. Elmira goalie Tom O'Brien seems to have
returned to his form of last year, as he made 22 saves to record the
shutout. Slater was pretty busy too, stopping 42 shots.
