Union on Friday...

Falcons off to a hot start tonight leading 2-0, but now about halfway through the 3rd it's 5-2 Union.

That's whiplash inducing....

5-3 final.

Couldn't buy a penalty kill, and the guys just looked lazy after it got tied up at 2.

Positive in the stands: 2200+ for home opener is the biggest I can remember in recent memory. Usually floats around 1500...

I've been telling Mrs. BG84 for a couple years that Hammond shouldn't play the puck so much because he's not very good at it . Siggy, yes. Hammy, no. I think tonight was the first time I've seen another team make him pay for a puck-handling mistake, though. Where were his defensemen?

Union: 3 PPG, 2 SHG - both on the same PP. Special teams, anyone? Union played like a team that has eight skaters. I haven't figured out how teams do that. Perfect positioning? The Dutchmen were pretty fast, too.

The good: non-league game; scored 3 goals , on a goalie with a very good reputation; scored a PPG ; a couple of freshmen played their first games.

When we went up 2-0, my brain said it wouldn't last, but the fan in me jumped to a shutout win! Then, over the next few weeks, there'd be writers sayin, "Hey, how about those Falcons!" Then BG would enter the polls and slowly climb toward the top. What a story!

Since these boards were installed, every time the puck comes through there it bounces to the front of the net. Every single time. I can understand the freshmen are still learning this, but the sophomores, juniors and seniors should all know this by now.

Looking forward to seeing the hockey team in action tomorrow night after the football game...

GO FALCONS!

IIRC, Al Montoya learned that the hard way too.
