Aviators Shoot down Dashers 8-3 in Danville, IL.




February 25,2012 

It was raining in Danville last night but it wasn't rain, it was raining Brooklyn Goals. Seems as if the Aviators have kicked their dry spell and they are now in their rainy season of goals. Brooklyn fans are glad that their team has found its gel and putting points on the board.

FIRST PERIOD action and it was a scary start for the Aviators. #15RW L.McClure with help from #46C C.Townsend & #8C R.Stern with only 39 seconds off the clock made their mark. It was a long shot from the blue line that #31G M.DiLorenzo didn't see and it found its mark. 

The A's said no goal and the lights came on rather fast and I think the official went with the goal judge on this score. The A's weren't happy but so be it. Dashers had the lead at this point in time 1-0.


Brooklyn matched the score with 9:18 off the clock with a #20C J.Felten score with an assist from #9RW N.Petriello, 1-1 tie. Aviators Center #18 J.Dolgy hit the net with aid from #7C C.Campanale & #2RW M.Thomson with 17:53 off the clock to make it a 2-1 Brooklyn lead. This is how the second period ended 2-1 Aviators. Close game still at this time, it could go either way.

SECOND PERIOD saw the Aviators score three more times and the Dashers made their mark twice. First to find goal was the Dashers #14C C.Affinati with #18F J.Barr earning an assist. This made the match 2-2, still a close game. Brooklyn came back and scored the next two goals. #12C M.Atsoff with #2RW M.Thomson & #31G M.DiLorenzo earned assists. Match was 3-2 Aviators.

The second was #20C J.Felten with aid from #3D D.Osborne & #23RW A.Scampoli. Game score 4-2 Aviators at this time. The Dashers returned the favor at the 11:55 mark when #7C J.Brooks found Brooklyn goal. #3D R.Huggett & #18F J.Barr were in on the assist. This made the match 4-3.

The clock showing 12:18 off the second period is when Brooklyn's #8LW S.Koich made the score 5-3. He was aided by #14C J.Dabkowski & #27RW C.Mignone. Game starting to slip away from the Dashers.

THIRD PERIOD was all Brooklyn's the Aviators hit three more times to seal the faith of the Dashers. #11C A.Owsiak with help from #20C J.Felten & #6D N.Wheeler made the match 6-3 with 1:09 off the clock. 

The second score for Brooklyn that earned #20C J.Felten a HAT TRICK was at the 17:07 mark of the third. He was aided by #23RW A.Scampoli & #18C J.Dolgy, this made the match 7-3 Brooklyn.

The last but not the least score was  on an unassisted goal by #18C J.Dolgy of the Aviators. The game ended 8-3 and Brooklyn was very happy with its showing and so were the Brooklyn fans.
