“A” LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND 2019/2020 FALL/WINTER PREVIEW

CONGRATS TO THE SAM CUPP CHAMPIONSHIP HABS!

HABS   4     HAWKS   0

Really no surprise here!  Even with four subs, but with their core players intact, the Habs run roughshod over the Hawks.  Championship game MVP Brian Moore was everywhere!  Zach Wagner with the deuce and Brian Moore and defenseman Jack Leavy with singles.  Sub puck stopper Billy Schaugg reverted back to his playing days’s at Notre Dame High H. S. and produced the shutout!  Hawks goalie Kirk Larson stoned Habs young phenom Zach Wagner twice on breakaways!  Another no brainer, as the rough and tumble Hawks rack up seven penalties in the contest to put them in short handed mode most of the game.  Captain Brendan Brosnan with a double minor unnecessary roughness penalty to go along with his minor roughing penalty.  Eddie Sudzina with a two minute unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and a ten minute misconduct abuse of officials and an early game third period exit.  A few of the Hawks showed up at Joe Kool’s to participate in the after game glow.

2019/2020 FALL/WINTER TEAM PREVIEW

HAWKS – Very nice team.  Offense has some very impactful players.  Can John McNeilly survive without Rex?  I like the D!

BRUINS – Top notch goalie.  I love the take no prisoners D!  This team definitely has personality!  Putting points on the board could be a little precarious for this squad.

HABS – This team will score – love the forwards!  Goalie is excellent.  Now we get to the D.  Could be a little long in the tooth – eh?

SHARKS – Top notch defensive core.  If Steve Wink wanders, Mike Garlick is more than capable to drop back.  I know they have Dr. Nate.  But scoring could be an issue here.

FLYERS – Team to beat in my humble opinion!  This team will score and never undersell goalie Billy Schaugg.

WINGS – When will Ryan get it right?  I can’t see too many bright spots on this squad.  Another cellar dweller landing is more than very possible!
