Day 12: ROV@SPE review

Another day, another slightly frustrating result for the Rovers. This time, a 4-4 tie with a Spectres team that had previously scored three goals in its first five games. While the offense tallied four times for the third straight game, Martin Gerber was tagged for four on only 21 shots. The Rovers launched 46 shots at Tomas Vokoun, but could only manage the tie. "Sure, you want to see a better result, but we have to be pleased with the offensive effort on the road", Stringer said at his post-game. Rookie Nathan Horton scored his first RHL goal and added an assist, while David Legwand, Sean Hill, and Alex Korolyuk also lit the lamp. The Spectres also struck for two power-play markers on four opportunities, something that is sure to irritate the Rovers coaches. The team now flies home on their off-day as they gear up for a three games in four nights stretch, kicked off by hosting the Waterloo Roadkill.
