Day 49: FUN@ROV review
"There's one for the highlight reel right there", said Sean Hill after the game of his breakaway goal into an empty net.
Iqaluit, NU (CP)
The Rovers returned to some home-cooking following a winless two-game mini-trip through Edmonton and Albany with a 4-1 win over the visiting Saskatoon Funboys. Scoring once in each period with goals by Halpern, Korolyuk, and Demitra, and then a final empty-netter by Hill, the Rovers were matched in effort all night by the Funboys, who just couldn't beat Martin Gerber when they needed it the most. Gerber did leave the game mid-way through the third with a bad back, but Chris Mason held the fort for the victory. "We've got a few games coming up, so Mason will definitely start in St. Pete's tomorrow night and we'll see what happens when we host Lethbridge".
The Rovers flew out to St. Pete's immediately after the game to prepare to tangle with the Wicked Ale.

And to think I was this close to landing Gerber myself at the start of the season. My goaltending isn't as big as a problem as Richard predicted, but my tenders certainly aren't stealing any games from me either.
Now if only my offense would get going!!!
What's ironic is that out of Paul's goalies, Conklin was actually the guy I was hoping to get. Instead he offered Gerber, so the talks went that way (and went quickly). One never really knows how things will turn out, but this one turned out very well for the Rovers (although Knuble is having another NHL great season).
