Silvertips vs. Hawks - Game 35 · Wednesday December 19, 2007

The Portland Winter Hawks take a early holiday break giving up four first period goals on the way to a final 6-1 home loss to the Everett Silvertips.

This was one of the most disappointing Home games this season. Jordan White the Hawks backup goalie, who has been stellar all season long though has not tallied a win, put the Hawks so far in the hole it was game over in the first 3 minutes.

The Hawks could not recover from the early two goals and the Silvertips just keep aggressively floor checking pinning Hawks in their offensive end. Are these 17,18 year olds staying up too late or just in bad physical conditioning? Because when the teams matched up, the Silvertips were winning every board battle and completely out playing the Hawks.

Portland broke the shut-out in the final minute of the second period when Jacob Dietrich poked in a rebound of a Matt Betker entry shot with 31 seconds left in the second period. Travis Ehrhardt also added an assist on the play.

Kurtis Mucha relieved White to start the second and stopped 21 of 23 the rest of the way. Leland Irving stopped 27 of 28 Portland shots in the victory.

Everett went 2 for 8 on the power play while Portland went 0 for 8. Both teams had to kill off major penalties as Matt Kirk levied five minute major penalties to Portland’s Matt Schmermund for Charging at the end of the first period and then a five minute major to Scott Gabriel for Cross-Checking in the final five minutes of the third.

Next up Moose Jaw at home.

Hawks vs. Silvertips - Game 34 · Sunday December 16, 2007

The Portland Winter Hawks were out dueled by the Everett Silvertips 4-3 at the Comcast Arena at the Everett Events Center. In the back-and-forth battle, Clayton Bauer scored the game winner on a late power play to claim the victory.

Portland got two goals from Jacob Dietrich and a single marker from Tyler Swystun. Swystun’s goal was scored on a 5 on 3 two-man advantage. Travis Ehrhardt had two assists for Portland.

Leland Irving stopped 23 of 26 Portland shots in the win while Kurtis Mucha stopped 21 of 25 in the Hawks net.

Portland went 1 for 6 on the power play while Everett went 1 for 7.

Without the win, still a competitive performance by the Hawks coming off a 3-1 win over Swift Current. The Hawks expectation quota is rising game by game along with its confidence.

Next up Everett at home.
