DUBLIN, OH - The Arrowhawks quest to end thier losing streak hit a very large speed bump tonight. The kind that breaks your front axel and makes everyone in the car simultaneously say, "that sounded expensive."
The bump came at the hands of the young and skilled Rhirruto with their skilled forwards and talented netminder determined to do damage in the division. The Hawks gave a C+ effort but couldn't overcome penalty after penalty, ultimately falling 2-1 to the improving club.
"We just couldn't finish," said 2nd line forward Barry Snow after the game. "We had plenty of chances but in the end they notched goals from their power play unit twice, despite Jason standing on his head."
Jason Jensen was back in net and played awesome, stopping 28 shots on the night.
"It is a shame we couldn't provide goals for Jay tonight, he was out of his mind with his glove and distributing rebounds." said Tom Morgan. "In the end, they battled hard for the puck and deserved the win."
"I wouldn't say that," added Chris Carpenter who played wing with Snow on the night. "It is hard to overcome being shorthanded against them, and we didn't get many calls tonight."
Give Rhirruto their due. An ongoing poll on this sight asks which team is most dangerous in the upcoming playoffs and after tonight, it would be tough to vote for qanother team.
"Those pesky fools really agitate their opponent," Said Rick Titus, back from IR. "They do the little things and scored some slop and got the job done. They took our top six out of it, including stopping Tommy 1 and Tommy 2, not and easy task. Our lines weren't able to generate enough offensive zone pressure all game." added the somewhat fat, offensively-challenged grinder.
"We will get this train on track," said Bryan Wharton, the Hawks lone goal scorer and leading scorer on the session. "You haven't heard the last of us just yet."
The Hawks will play the Bombers next and hope to get back into the win column.
Joe Factor was stout defensively as were the rest of the Hawks on the night. But the penalties had them behind the eight ball all night.
