With concerns arising about the Hurricane effort not more than 24 hours earlier some focus needed to take place. The message was clear; we needed to get back to what works and take responsibility for it. We needed team defense and the offence would come.

Although no score in the first period the Hurricane had chances and some hard luck and good goaltending accounted for the blank on both sides. Overall things looked good, no breakdowns and spurts of offensive chances but no one able to pull the trigger at this point for the Hurricane offense.

With much of the same defensive effort in the second the Hurricane were waiting for their chance and finally on some good hard work down low Catherine Tufts (M. Messenger, Adams) fired a quick release shot from the slot that found a gap under the arm of the Newbridge net minder.

Again in the third there was no sign of letting up on the defensive commitment and it looked like the Hurricane would play it safe denying any offense from the Senators. It started to look like the Hurricane were prepared to take the one goal win, that is, until late in the third, when Newbridge decided to pull their goalie to muster some attack. After corralling the puck in the Hurricane corner down low, Jordan Messenger (Jollimore) would skate up the wall and fire a shot which had better not be icing toward the far end. Fortunately, it found the net and the Hurricane were up two and the coaching staff bit their tongue for not crossing center ice before the attempt.

With Newbridge not content to settle for the 2-0 loss they kept their goaltender out and the coaching staff started looking for their blood pressure medication as again this time Stone Harnish (Nickerson, M Messenger) shot one from the Hurricane side of center only to hit the net again. After not finding the back of the net for much of the game we were two for two from 150 feet. With no power play chances of their own the Hurricane managed four nice penalty kills. Make the final Hurricane 3 – Senators 0. The Hurricane survive the weekend with four points in the bank and look to improve thier play this coming weekend in Liverpool against the Bay Gulls.
