Ice Hawks Battle Hard, but still only end up with one goal, in 3-1 loss.
The Ice Hawks tried for their second win last night, but we slowly fell to the S.J. Blues... The Blues seemed to control the game a little better then us, plus their PURPLE HELMET GUY #22(Dan) was able to go end to end faster then our star players. I know that the game felt closer then the score really had shown. We actually controlled the puck in their zone many many times, but we seemed to have trouble getting the shots on net...

The First period was hard fought, but went scoreless. Soon the Blues scored twice early in the second. 3 Kopp had a really good shot early in the third from a back hand, but the puck went about an inch above the cross bar... Close, but not close enough. Finally with one of the Blues defencemen falling to the ice, 3 Kopp was able to skate the puck free, and make a centering pass to 18 McFarland, who was camped in front of the Blues net feeding smores to the goalie, who able to slap it in.

It seemed to me that the Ref's were letting everything go in this game, 9 Arakaki was tormented the whole game with very phisical play, including a cross check on 9 Arakaki in front of their net. In Summary the Hawks were again hampered by an inability to get off shots and the sudden blindness that fell upon the Ref's were keys to the Hawks loss.
