Stylistically it wasn’t the same army team that came out of the gate with two straight shutouts, but the army will take it. Vince’s first hat trick of the season (6) set the pace and once again the army saw the clock run in the third for the third consecutive game. Two late goals from The Pub that the army would like to have back made the game look more competitive.
Travis continued his stellar playmaking, centering Vince and Peeks, with three assists to go with his second and third goals of the season. The balanced scoring is also a key to the early season success. Bob chipped in his second of the year, Marty (3) added two tallies and brogan extended his point streak to three with four helpers, including a beautiful power play assist. The offense is clicking and this will need to continue as the army faces its toughest test of the young season when they face the Dockside in the West Cost game next Wednesday at 11:10.
Hockey wasn’t the only thing on the army’s minds last night as they were treated to a surprise visit from new Nets owner, Russian billionaire, and friend of the army, Mikail Prokorov. Prokorov said, “its great to see the guys again, its been too long. I don’t get to the US much, and after losing the draft lottery a night out with the boys is needed.” Prokorov, who got was originally dubbed, “playboy” from army member Brogan, added that he couldn’t wait to get the army back to Moscow for a big blowout with his “hired talent”
We will have a stats update later in the day. Stay tuned.
