Adapted Floor Hockey Game Results

ROBINS 7 ANOKA 8
March 8, 2004
In the Robins' first play-off game since 1997, they faced a very determined Anoka-Hennepin squad. The Mustangs led 2-1 after the first period, and 4-1 after the second, but then the Robins got hot. The third period saw the Robins score six times, with Chris Schumacher and Becky Vahakangas each scoring twice each. Kati Fobes scored a short-handed goal with just 1:58 remaining to make the score 8-7 in favor of the Mustangs. The Robins played the last 3:30 of the game shorthanded, and had several good scoring chances, but could not manage to net the tying goal. This was possibly the most exciting game the Robins have played in quite some time, despite not being able to advance to the State Tournament. The coaching staff and parents are extremely proud of all this team was able to accomplish this season!! GREAT SEASON ROBINS!

ROBINS 4 MAPLE GROVE 6
February 18, 2004
Today's match-up featured two arch-rivals that always seem to bring out the best (or sometimes the worst) in each other: Robins vs. Maple Grove. As usual, this game was close for the vast majority of the game's duration, but this time the Crimson were able to pull away late, defeating the Robins 6-4. Tim Kraske opened the games' scoring at the 9:00 mark of the first, finding an opening in the net with the help of a great pass from Chris Schumacher. The Crimson then got fired up and scored four unanswered goals in a time span of 12 minutes, covering the end of the first and the beginning of the second period. The Robins trailed 4-2 heading into the third period, before Chris Schumacher scored on a nice one-timer from Kraske, making the score 4-3, but it was as close as the Robins would get. For the game, Schumacher had three goals and one assist, Kraske has one goal and two assists, and Becky Vahakangas had one assist.

The Robins struggled in the games first minutes and could not quite make up for the early shortfall, losing 7-4.

ROBINS 5 ROCHESTER 3
February 12, 2004
Tonight the Robins faced the defending State Champion Rochester Raiders, and fared quite well, defeating the Raiders 5-3. This was the Robins first victory over Rochester in their last four tries. The Raiders were a very deep, quick and talented team, but the Robins were able to overcome the challenge with some very spirited team play. The Robins took a 3-2 lead near the end of the second period when Chris Schumacher and Tim Kraske teamed up to create one of the prettiest scoring plays in team history. The puck went from Kraske to Schumacher, through the Raiders defense, and then back to Kraske and into the back of the net before the Raiders could even react. The duo hooked up for the eventual game-winning goal with less than two minutes remaining in the third, but this time it was Kraske setting up Schumacher for the score. Schumacher finished with 4 goals and 1 assist, Kati Fobes notched an assist and Kraske also had an assist to go with his goal. Jessica Tounsley made 41 saves for the Robins, and Ashley Bailey did a great job defensively, breaking up just about every Raiders offensive rush into the Robins end of the floor.

February 5, 2004
The Robins losing streak has now reached two games after losing to a very deep and talented St. Paul Humboldt squad by a score of 7-1. For most of the night, the game was much closer than the final score would indicate. The Robins trailed the Hawks by a score of 2-1 after the first period, and 3-1 after the second. The Robins had several great opportunities to score some goals, but just couldn't quite make things happen. The team appeared to run out of gas, so to speak, with approximately ten minutes remaining in the game. Tim Kraske scored the Robins lone goal on a nice crossing pass from Chris Schumacher with five minutes remaining in the first period.

The team was determined to come out and play hard for the entire 45 minutes of this game, and it definitely showed as the Robins used outstanding teamwork and defense to get the win. The Robins led 3-1 heading into the third period, but Anoka had tied the game before 2 minutes had come off the clock in the third.
