Times Advocate, 1992-12-02, Page 16Page 16 Times -Advocate, December 2, 1992 Splittgames Hawks have to get down to business By Treed Groves T.Aeltiff EXETER - "We're going to get down to business." That's what (barge Pratt said af- ter his Exeter 'Hawks lost 10-8 to hosrBelmont Saturday night. With the loss, the Hawks see 'their OHA Development League west division record Op :to 10-7. Exeter sillSn their 10th game of the season -at-home Friday night: a 5-1 win over Mt. Brydges Bulldogs. -The Hawks continue:to slump de- fensively as they have given up five goals per game. Against the Bulldogs at the South Huron Recreation Centre Friday night, there was 8:53 left in the first period when Andrew Barton scored. With just 17 ticks left in the first frame, Ray Cousineau drifted down the right side and blasted one past Jay Detlor. The Bulldogs got right beck in in the second on a breakaway which caught the Hawks' out of position. "Were an offensive minded team. Guys who won't beckcheck are going to sit -and witch someone else do it," said -Pratt. That 'was the only goal of the game Clint McCann would give up as the Hawks scored three more. "He's (McCann) playing better this year so far, than I have ever seen in play for the Hawks," noted Frau. In the second period, Sean McCann one -timed it into the net -on a powerplay which gave Exeter a two -goal cushion once again. Quickly into the third, captain Paul Manders connected. Veteran defenseman Larry Lewis drew a penalty in the Hawks' end of =ShaynepRobinson (12) may have been down on this play but he helped the Hawks beat Mt. Brydges. Lucan beat Bulldogs 7-1 Haskett paces Irish with two goals By Fred Groves T -A staff LUCAN - The Irish got some high mileage out of a few unexpect- ing engines Wednesday night. Rookie centre Chris Haskeu scored two goals and veteran de- fenseman Chris Chater played well back on the blueline to lift the host Irish to a 7-1 win over the visiting Me Brydges Bulldogs. Lucan's 14th OHA Development League victory also saw scoring from Jason Reidhead got his fifth of the season while Ed VanKer- koerle, Steve Moore, Sean Kaczma- rek and captain Andy Ross. "We just finished talking to him (Haskett) at pracuce about starting to pick a up. He was kind of coast- ing. We told hien he has to start jumping into the play," said Lucan coach Ken Needham. Haskett's first goal came just 2:11 into the middle period when he walked en on Bulldogs' goalie Jay Detlor ,and d inne. np-.into 'the comer -from a.tough angle. The rookie connected again in the third and almost got a hat trick on the third shitt. Although Chafer did not score, he kept the puck in the ML Brydges' zone on several key offensive push- es and was also used a lot to kill penalties. "Chris has been playing football at Oakridge every night, that's all done now. He'll get better now be- cause he won't be hurt," said -Need- ham. Lucan led just 1-0 after the first period on Reidhead's goal but the biggest play of the game was when Matt Munro, called up from the midgets, laid a big hit on Todd Baker behind the Irish net. Less than three -and-a-half min- utes into the second frame, it was 3-0 for the home team. Mt. Brydges had a powerplay for nearly tour minutes in this period but could not capitalize. Ross got the nicest goal of the third penod as he stole the puck off off of a Mt. Brydges'defenseman and easily beat Detlor for his fourth of the year. The visitors narrowed the gap in a big way just 38 seconds into the third when a puck wok a weird de- _.flection;Jutd got tby_Eoin' Meaner - y. �>f That was the only miscue on:the rookie netmindei s part and all night. and all season he has looked very sharp. "Our defenseman couldn't clear it and they got the rebound. 1t was kind of a fluke goal," said Mciner- ney. Dwayne Hay was credited with the Bulldogs' lone goal. ,A McInerney who came out of Wednesday's game with a very im- pressive 2.75 goals against average, played for the London 'AAA' ban- tams last year. He admitted he was going for the shutout bid, but didn't seem too overly disappointed about it. "1 practice with the (London Jr. B) Nationals every Thursday. I'm kind of like their third goalie. I've .already dressed for a game." Setting his sights on higher hock- ey, McInerney said the shots in Junior 'D' are more accurate than they were in bantam. "These guys shoot better. This is my first year in the league and I didn't know what to expect." Flyers S.

Throughout the game, and pretty well most of the season, the Hawks have seemed like a light bulb. Turning on their bursts of enthu- siasm like a light switch. Prau said they are simply trying to hard to put the puck in the net, and not hard enough to keep it out. "Our guys arc panicking too much on the bench. If we're in a close game they feel a lot of pres- sure to score. They're hitting the panic button too early." Manders who netted his eighth of the season against the Bulldogs no- ticed the Hawks are not coming to the rink prepared to play a full game. "We can never play a full 60 min- ute game. We have a different blend of guys then last year. It's hard to get everyone together to know what they're supposed to do," said Exeter's captain. Manders, a hard-hitting winger has turned his game around. He's not taking as many penalties and is showing a lot of leadership on the bench and in the dressing room. ri Exeter Minor Hockey Association Thank You To the following who made our annual Bill Batten Memo- rial Toumament such a tre- mendous success. • Dave Moore Fuels • Frayne Chev Olds • J.M.R.
