Tigers Lose To The Falcons

The Sound Tigers continue their Marshall-led streak into oblivion after losing their third straight. The Falcons, who are now on a four game winning streak, is continuing an impressive record that sees that 6-3-0-1 in the past 10 and 4-0-0-0 in the last 4.

Bridgeport out shot the Falcons 37 to 27, but could only manage a goal by Steve Regier in the second period. Assists came from Nielsen and Boguniecki.

This moves the Tigers to 13-15-1-3 with a three game losing streak.

Tonight, to fill the spot that Rourke had, you will see 21 year old Jamie Fraser from the South Carolina Stingrays who is on a PTO. The Stingrays are in the ECHL. He comes bearing 5 goals and 23 assists in 27 games. He briefly served with the Syracuse Crunch, but registered no points. Compare this to Rourke who had 3 goals and six assist in 29 games with the Tigers.

Oh, by the way, Rourke did score the game winning goal against the Islanders last night (refer to my last blog). By going to the Island he single handedly stopped DiPietro's shutout streak at home and forced a loss in a game with a four point swing. I am all for understanding that people make mistakes. I also understand that we had the entire game to score again and we didn't. My only point is that he had no business going up that high for a puck that was nowhere close to going in the net thereby also blocking DiPietros line of sight. Not smart.

To quickly go over tonights game, the River Rats come into town with a win and a 7-3-0-0 streak on their hands. We need to stop them and get the ball rolling on our end. It's still not too late, but we need to open our eyes and see that it will be soon.

One last thing...the article about Marshall playing music, writing music and practicing stick in hand? Save it. If you want fans to be interested put some points in the win column.
