Sunday night the Spurs defeated the defending CCHL Champion Dayton Musicmen 5-3 and in doing so advanced to the Jazz (USA) Conference Finals. This will be the Spurs second consecutive appearance in the Conference Finals. Last year the Spurs advanced to the World Conference finals being in the other conference prior to league realignment. It was a nail biter of a back and forth 7 game series with two games being decided in OT. Dayton won Gm2(road), Gm3(home) and Gm6(home in OT). Denver took Games 1, 4(OT), 5 and 7. Both OT games were in Dayton.Scoring for the Spurs in the contest were Hossa (4), Stastny (2), Selanne (8,9) and Staios (1). On the Musicmen's side was Gaborik (right pic) with his phenominal 14th of the playoffs in only 11 games, Gonchar (3) and Michalek (3).
Gaborik scored 33% of the goals the Musicmen had in their 11 games in the playoffs. He had 9 in this series alone!
Dasher Notes
The Spurs face the Jazz (USA) regular season Conference Champs Hawaii Sandblasters in the Conference Finals.
Home ice advantage go to the 'blasters of course and it will be an uphill battle for the Spurs. The Spurs hope to knock the Master Blaster Niclas Selberg off his perch on top of the Jazz Conference mountain!
