SEATTLE (AP) - Once again, a hot goaltender is on the verge of derailing the Seattle Rainiers' Cup run. Martin Brodeur stopped thirty-three shots, including nine of nine Goalie Ratings (despite GOAL results on "7" and "8" on his card), as the North Calgary Hawks won their second game in a row at Seattle's Key Arena to open up a two-games-to-zero lead over the top seed Seattle Rainiers. With #1 goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere struggling somewhat this playoff year, Rainiers coach Doug Norris replaced him with Vesa Toskala for Game Two, and the move paid off to some degree - Toskala stopped thirty-six Hawk shots (9/10 GR) but could not defeat the pervasive split roll from Derek Morris early in the third period. The first two periods were surprisingly wide-open, although only Marcus Ragnarsson and Jamie Langenbrunner tallied in the first forty minutes. After Morris' goal put North Calgary in the lead, Seattle had many chances but couldn't equalize things (including a Goalie Rating on the final card of the game). On the brink of disaster, the Rainiers now need to win both games in North Calgary to have a reasonable hope of taking the series. "We did win up there this year," said Norris, referring to the team's 1-1-0-1 record in North Calgary this season. "Can we do it when we have to? I guess it depends on who we've got in the locker room." Game Three is scheduled (NetMeeting) for Tuesday night at the Saddledome (Jason, you never told me your home rink. :-P) STARBUCKS THREE STARS OF THE GAME: 1.
