Pacey Paces the Swarm to Victory

Friday, April 6, 2007
Toronto, Ontario
Attendance: 15,469

Notes

  • Eric Pacey leads the Swarm with a career night with one goal and four assists. Pacey's goal was a coast to coast breakaway in which he ran over Blaine Manning at mid floor on his way to beat Bob Watson
  • Pacey scored the 500th goal in Swarm Team Regular Season History at 12:59 of the first quarter
  • The Swarm split the season series with Toronto
  • The Swarm break their two game losing streak
  • Ryan Ward ties the Swarm single season record for most points in a season with 66. Of course, Ward ties himself when he finished with 66 in 2006. His 43 assists also is a single season Swarm record. Ward has three more game to add to those totals.
  • Dean Hill ties the Swarm single season goal record of 27 set by Kelly Hall in 2005.
  • Riley Kemp did not play after his knee injury last weekend that possibly ended his season
  • Mike Hominuck has missed his second straight game
  • The Swarm need to win or Philadelphia to lose on Saturday to clinch a playoff spot
  • Chad Culp quoted on his game winning goal in Toronto Star article: "I picked a spot, shot it as hard as I could and it went in," said the five-foot-nine Culp, whose huge goal was only his eighth this year. "I grew up watching the Toronto Rock and it's huge to come in here in front of all your family and friends and to score the winning goal at the end."
  • Ryan Cousins quoted in Toronto Star article: "There's no team I'd want to play for right now other than the Minnesota Swarm. We've got a young group. The average age is around 25. We don't have the luxury of practises like a lot of other teams. The Rock get to practice every week. We don't practice. We show up at the rink and play. Obviously, guys are working hard on their own. It paid off in the end tonight."
  • Swarm Head Coach Duane Jacobs quoted in Toronto Star article: "Our penalty killers came up with a big kill," said Swarm coach Duane Jacobs. "Once we did that, I felt good about our chances to come out of here with a win."
