Falcons Weekly Preview, Week 9, 4 Games in 5 Nights!


This is about as tough as it gets in pro hockey. The Falcons will play 4 games in 5 nights, first game on Wednesday and then 3 in 3 days starting on Friday and ending on Sunday. The Falcons will need to dig deep after losing their last 4 games. All 4 games are against Division opponents and all 4 of them are against teams that are ahead of them in the Atlantic Division standings. This will be a huge test for the Falcons and their teams makeup. The Falcons will be without the recently recalled Rob Schremp. The Falcons will have to get better offensive performances from Slava Trukhno, Bryan Lerg, and the teams lower lines to take up the slack.

The Falcons will also face the recently assigned Brian Boyle when Manchester comes to town. Unfortunately for the Falcons there are no easy wins in the AHL's Atlantic Division at this point.

I think it's safe to say Brule had an off night tonight. -2, 22PIM and a Game misconduct.

I only caught the 3rd period and he NAILED a Lowell Devil and deserved the boarding penalty. I can't comment on much of his play since he missed more than 1/2 of the 3rd.
