Andrew Moffitt gives thumbs up on Ratz victoryBlacks Harbour, NB - Andrew Moffitt potted a hat trick while linemate Russell Buchanan added a pair, as did Greg Justason and Jack MacNeil rounded out the scoring with a single as the Bonny River Ratz downed the Charlotte County Bears 8-4 Tuesday night. T.J. Matser scored a pair for the Bears and Tim Dunfield and Daniel Leavitt netted singles.
The Ratz had a season high turnout with 15 skaters and captain Joe Stevens was forced to make some tough decisions. Stevens and Jim Buchanan were dropped back to defense and Stevens called the duo "the shutdown twosome."
Russell Buchanan's promotion to the BIG Line was well-received by the rookie who responded and broke out of his scoring drought. "When you know you're going out on a line with Taylor on it, the open ice available is amazing. I never realized it until last night. I watch Taylor play and it almost becomes another day at the office for him, but the guy opens up many doors that I didn't even know existed. I just hope that I can stay on the line," noted a jubilant Buchanan.
The Ratz roll into St. Andrews Thursday night at 8:30 to take on the Milltown Moose.
