Tiger Trauma

In Kelowna, D Tyler Myers scored at 3:58 of OT to give the Rockets a 4-3 victory over the Medicine Hat Tigers. . . . Kelowna C Colin Long’s 15th goal at 11:22 of the third period on a PP forced the extra time. . . . The Rockets (17-10-2-2) left after the game on a road swing to the Prairies. B-r-r-r-r-r-r-r. . . . Also on their bus was Doyle Potenteau of the Kelowna Daily Courier, who packed his gum and his woolies. . . . The Tigers (16-11-3-1) are 3-6-3-0 on the road. This was Game 1 of a seven-game swing. . . . The Rockets led 2-1 in the second period but trailed 3-2 in the third after Brennan Bosch and Tyler Ennis scored for the Tigers. Ennis’s 19th goal came at 16:29 of the second period and gave Medicine Hat a 3-2 edge. . . . Tigers G Tomas Vosvrda made 31 saves. According to Potenteau’s game story, Vosvrda made the greatest save ever seen at Prospera Place. Here’s Potenteau’s description of the save that came two minutes into OT: “Leavold skated in, deked, then went top shelf. In return, Vosvrda adjusted, then dove to his right, a move which put Vosvrda on his back. Down, but not out, the lanky 6-foot-3 netminder from the Czech Republic threw his legs into the air and — with a barrel-roll like move — stopped Leavold’s labeled top-shelf shot.” . . . Leavold later got his revenge, dropping the puck to Myers, who beat Vosvrda for the winner.
