00:13Greetings and welcome to the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
00:16I'm your play-by-play announcer, Bob Cole, and with me is color commentator, Harry Neal.
00:22Damian Rhodes is a solid stand-up goaler. He doesn't give up too many rebounds.

02:29Gordon Murphy has great timing.
02:31He won't be rushed into a bad pass.

02:35Then just before he's checked, he'll make the pass.
02:38In front to McGilney.
02:39Rhodes gets all of it!
02:41And he will cover the puck and we have a stoppage in play.
