Lecavalier Nets 50th, Spurs Clinch Playoff Spot!!

- The Court House - Lahr, Germany

Vinny Lecavalier netted his 50th goal of the season at the 1:01 mark of the first period. In doing so he became the second player in the history of the Denver Spurs/Yellowknife Diamonds franchise to score 50 goals in a season!
Todd Bertuzzi lit the lamp 57 times for the '03'04 Yellowknife Diamonds. Of course, these numbers pale in comparison to some of the stats put up in the past by members of the defending CCHL Champion Dayton Musicmen.
Marian Hossa led the Spurs in the 5-2 road victory in potting 2 goals (44 & 45) including the game winner. Lighting the lamp for the 'justiz were Brad Richards (20) and Antropov (6). SOG in the contest were equal with the Spurs launching 35 at former Spur Tim Thomas and the 'justiz launching 34 at Marty Brodeur.
Dasher Notes
With this win the Spurs clinched a playoff spot.
During the contest blueliner Brett Clark was an astounding +4 with only 9 minutes of ice time! You don't see that often...eh
The win coupled with the Donuts' loss has again pulled Denver and Wisborg into a tie for most points in the CCHL this season. Wisborg has one more win than the Spurs. The Spurs pulled 4 points ahead of the Hawaii Sandblasters in the race for the Jazz Conference crown.
The next game is Thursday night at division rival Beverly Hills. The Spurs can't wait to get to the plush clubhouse that the Master Lawmaster Derek Chaiken provides.
