I would blame the 'Hawks collapse on the power of the dog photos in the GT, but, the truth is the Rook D-Man, Jokiharu, got taken advantage of, Manning was bad, in coverage, and the 'Hawk third line had no offensive impact. It is not a good sign when the only consistent threat comes from a 4th line forecheck. The 'Hawks were efficient with their few chances, but, the Flames were able to generate chance after chance after chance, to grind out the W.

It was a sloppy game in many ways, but, a tough road loss for my guys and a good home win for yours.

I hope the guy Keith hit is ok, and he just sat out as a precaution.

Thanks again, for being kind hosts here...I look forward to round two, a Sunday game on 12/2.
