The Whalers rowed into town Friday night and were surprised by the super sharp Harpoons that they found waiting for them in Brooklyn. This was the last time they would play in the regular season and the A's wanted to make a statement to the team that they will be facing in the playoffs.
FIRST PERIOD found Brooklyn scoring first with 5:13 off the clock on a powerplay goal by #9RW N.Petriello. #23 RW A.Scampoli and #18C J.Dolgy earned the assist. Score was 1-0 at this time.
The second harpoon found its target by #8LW S.Koich with an assist from #2RW M.Thomson.The score was 2-0 and Brooklyn fans were loving it!
SECOND PERIOD was all Brooklyn's, with three more unanswered markers by the flying high Aviators. #14C J.Dabkowski with aid from #27RW C.Mignone and #11C A.Owsiak. The second marker was a powerplay which #2RW M.Thomson took advantage of. On this score #20C J. Felten and #17 D K.Trentowski earned an assist. This made it a 4-0 Brooklyn lead and the fans were rocking and rolling, the smell of blood was in the water!
Surprise the next score was once again on a powerplay. #2RW M.Thomson on still another powerplay sank the fifth harpoon into the wounded beast. Mates #17D K.Trentowski and #7C C.Campanale were on deck and lent a hand to the fifth harpoon attack! 5-0 Brooklyn at the end of two.
THIRD PERIOD and the wounded beast still wouldn't go down with out a fight. For the third time tonight #2RW M.Thomson planted his third harpoon into the dying giant of the sea. Fellow Aviators #7C C.Campanale and #16D H.Coxe earned an assist for this play. Match is now Brooklyn 6-0 and the fans are waiting to see when the big Whale will roll over and play dead?
The last harpoon sunk into the beast was by #19 B.Marks a powerplay of course. He had help from #27RW C.Mignone and #18c J.Dolgy which they were rewarded with the assists. Score is 7-0, the beast wouldn't die that fast as the A's fans wanted.
With 1:06 left in the game the dying beast made its last gasp at the A's. #9C M.Moucha scored the only goal for Danbury saving the team from a shutout. The matched ended with the score 7 for Brooklyn and 1 For Danbury.
