Grining out Wiflfing goal Býy STEVE LeBLANC The Champion Geoff Schomugyi picked one heckuva way to extend his goal scoring streak Thursday in Brampton. With only four seconds remaining in regulation time, the Merchants' dynamo deposited a short-range rebound to lift theru past the Capitals 2-i1. The winning tally stretched his scoring mun to fine garues and lengthened the defending provincial champs' unheaten road record to 31 games. Picking up assists on the play - which pushed Milton to 36-4-3 - were Dave Csumrik and Ryan Robjchaud. "We're a talented uine that's going to get chances," said Schomogyi, who skates with Rohichaud and Ed McGrane. "If we keep working hard down low, it'li corue. Tonight itjust took a litile longer." The 19-year-old Winger didn't spend any time patting hiruself on the back however. When the final horu sounded, he ruade an irurediate rush to congratulate the night's real Geoif Schomogyi hero - Daniel Jacques. Back froru suspension, the veteran cager waa absolutely mag- nificent froru beginning to end and singlehandedly stole the win for his cohlorts. He ruade a dozen picturesque glove saves and turned aside a total of 42 shots, ail along receiving littie assistance from his defencemen, who deruonstrated no physical presence and repeat- edly coughed up the puck during moutine breakouts. "TMe test must have helped, 1 guess," quipped Jacques. While the blueline unit suffered through what was arguably their worst collective showing this year, the forwards weren't mucis better. Lack of focus and a subitandard work ethic resulted in their inabiiity to, head-man the puck and penetrate Brampton's defence = who of course know how to utilize their smaiier ice surface, but stili aren't taiented enough to, stop the Merchants at anywhere near peak efficiency. Due tc their offensive shortcomiùngs, Milton went over 57 min- utes without a goal for their longeat drought of the season. Delivering the initial marker two-and-a-half minutes into, the contest was Mark Beisel. Replying for the Capitals was Jeff Street. This showdown, which featured plenty of extra-curricular c activity inciuding a couple of near line brawls, saw Milton new-) corner Jamie Dubrick play thse sacrificial iarub and take a pound- ing froru loose cannon Ryan Digby ruidway through thse final frame. Each tearu squandeoed a handfui of powerpiay chances. i One night later tise Merchants' high-flying offence wouid resur- h face in an 8-2 thrashing of Georgetown, who for ail their recent cl improvements still seeru content to play tise role of whipping i boys to their north Halton neighbours.
