Click to review recap of the two games this week
Regular Season Game 17: 0-0 Tie vs. Burlington Gold
Having played the Gold team recently and losing 3-1, the Falcons were looking to get some revenge Tuesday night, as we battled at home. The Falcons had a very strong defensive game, as we were able to limit high % scoring chances for the most part throughout the game. The key was our defense finally playing the man not the puck and having some good first passes out of our zone. Excellent backcheck from the forwards, who although held off the score sheet, generated several high % scoring chances but ran into a hot goalie.
players of the game: Dylan (making his return to the lineup) and Cohen (picking up his first shutout of the year)
Regular Season Game 18: 4-3 Win vs. Burlington Blue
Despite the score only being a one goal difference, the Falcons played extremely well this game, outshooting the Blue Eagles 43-13. Excellent games by all three forward lines, as we were continuously getting good % scoring chances in tight, and controlling the puck in the offensive zone. A couple of sloppy coverages in front of our own net though lead to 2 goals against. We need to continue to focus on the defensive part of the game, especially in our own end, where we can use our bodies to box out players in front of our net. Overall, picking up 3/4 points this week keeps the Falcons in the race in the Atom Bowen South Division
