Early Bird Game 1- 2-1 L vs. Buffalo
Click for recap of this mornings game.

The Falcons came out ready to play, controlling the pace of play throughout the game, and outshooting the Reglas 16-7. 

In the first period, Aidan was able to open the scoring off a very nice rush with excellent puck protection! he walked around the Regal defender to snip home our first goal of the season. The Falcons were able to be in the offensive zone the majority of the period, led by the red line with Colton, George and Hayden.

The second period continued like the first, with the Falcons controlling the pace of play and having several chances in the offensive zone. We were unable to generate any goals though, and the Regals were able to score off a Falcons turnover, having the game tied at 1 after 2 periods.

The third period had the Falcons continue to push the play, however our inability to get the puck out of the zone and a breakdown in defensive coverage lead to the Regals scoring the game winning goal. 

Overall, a very strong start to the season for the Falcons, as we beat ourselves in this game. We need to limit our mistakes, and most importantly focus on taking the puck arm the other team.
