(8)Hawks vs Hellas(3)
Hawks recover with 7 straight goals after slow start
A game that started slow for the Hawks eventually turned into a barn burner. Fortunately for the Hawks, they took out the stops and solidified the win with an impressive second half of the game. Some quick passing and back and forth play created enough lanes for shots to come in. S.Fabrici dented the ball twice giving S.Sauk no chance to react in time. The Hawks, apart-from Fabrici, saw seven different players find the back of the net.
(2)HBHA vs Bramabulls(3)
Two late goals all for nothing for HBHA
The HBHA didn't look at their best-from the get go. They came out flatter than a six month old can of coke. Perhaps it was the Bramabulls simply better jumping off to a 2-0 first period lead. But with the amount of skill the HBHA posses, it was nearly impossible that they weren't going to score. However, that being said, it took nearly the entire game for M.Pololos to get his club on board. Then, only two minutes later, D.Andrade tied the game. Momentum would usually suggest a pattern to follow when a side takes over with a pair of key tallies. Unfortunately for the HBHA, it wasn't the case. The Bramabulls immediately regained the lead courtesy of M.Argiris. The highly skilled forward had set up F.Dominianni and Mauro Mignogna in the opening frame before notching the games deciding marker.
(4)Stones vs The Peters(7)
Stones give good effort despite loss
The Stones weren't hanging their heads Friday night after losing to a team like the Peters. After all, only eight players dressed and the game wasn't overly convincing. The Peters did do the right thing of dictating the pace early with three first period goals. While many would have thought that this contest would end up in a landslide, the Stones remained focused and resilient to keep it respectable. Their best hockey occurred in the third period where they won the frame 3-2.M.Russo struck twice and N.Mucci collected two points in the loss. As for the Peters, R.Placentino was the only player to score twice as part of a four point performance.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Mario Argiris of the Bramabulls. In a close 3-2 decision over the HBHA, Argiris participated on all three goals that included the winner late in the game.
