Brooklyn Aviators Bomb NJ Outlaws in a 6-1 Victory at Hanger #5!

As the Brooklyn fans filed into tonight to witness another match against our rivals the NJ Outlaws the mood was somber. We haven't yet earned a win against the Outlaws all season long. 


We came close a few times but close only counts in horse shoes not hockey. Seems as if the time has come and we finally were able to lock up the Outlaws in Hanger #5 Brooklyn, NY.


First period action had the Aviator fans smelling a victory a last, could this be? C. Mignone #27RW started the attack for Brooklyn at 4:14 into the game, 1-0 Brooklyn. At 9:21 into the first L. Schott #10C scored to give Brooklyn a 2-0 lead. The fans were getting their hopes up for a victory over NJ in Hanger #5. 


Still in the first period L.Schott #10C scored his second goal of the night. Seems like Danbury's loss was our gain with L. Schott #10C, Lucas has been playing great hockey since he has been with the Aviators. With the score 3-0 still in the first the Outlaws pulled A. Dekker #29G and D. McWninney #31G was sent in to do battle against Brooklyn.

Second period action for the Aviators was helped by giving Brooklyn power plays by the NJ Outlaws. We know how that goes, we have been in the sin bin for a good amount of time in the last few games. This time we managed to stay out and it paid off for Brooklyn. Both scores were on power plays, the first was by L. Schott #10C at only 2:24 of the second. Can you say HAT TRICK for L. Schott #12C. Score is now 4-0 A's. 

The second score was by C. Watson #7C who found the back of the net for Brooklyn at the 11:17 mark of the second, 5-0 Brooklyn. 


So far J. St. Pierre #38G was blocking everything the the Outlaws were able to throw at him. He did a great job on a breakaway by NJ, he dove head first into the action and saved a goal for Brooklyn. At this point it is 5-0 Aviators.


Third period saw the fans rocking and rolling with all the scoring done by their Brooklyn Aviators. B. Baumgartner #44C scored for Brooklyn with only 2:17 onto the period. Score is now Brooklyn 6 and the Outlaws 0. Could this be, such a game and a shut out too. 

This was not to be, guess who scored? Our old buddy and former Aviators player M. Puntureri #22F. He spoiled out shut out with only 1:30 left in the game. I believe that Brooklyn has a love, hate relationship with Matty boy. He is real nice guy on and off the ice. We still love you Matt and wish you all the best in the playoffs.
