Falcons Drop First 2 in Playoff Series
The Falcons got down early in the first game as the Norway House North Stars scored 5 times in 12 minutes. The Falcons had tied it 1-1 but could not hold off the strength and speed Norway House applied to the centre of the ice as they attacked the Falcon goal. The final 45 minutes of the game, both teams traded numerous scoring opportunities. The Falcons pulled within 3 but by the end of the 2nd period the North Stars had restored their 4 goal lead. The effort and energy remained until the final whistle with the Norway House North Stars winning Game 1 by a score of 6-2.
The long bus ride the day before would not be an excuse for the Falcons in Game 2. The Falcons came out flying and exploded with 4 goals in an 8 minute span in the opening frame to lead 4-0 with 6:27 to go in the 1st period. Even though the Falcons followed their game plan, they were soon to be overwhelmed by a North Stars surge. A goalie change by the North Stars seemed to give them life and they proceeded to score 2 goals before the end of the period and found themselves down 4-2 going into the 2nd period. The North Stars stormed the net early and scored 17 seconds into the 2nd period and followed it with the tying goal 50 seconds later. The Falcons regained their composure and began to generate offence again but could not find the back of the net. The disheartening goal came with just under 8 minutes to go in the 2nd followed by an insurance goal a couple minutes later. The Falcons recorded over 30 shots in the final 2 periods including a 5 on 3 power play opportunity, 2 clear cut break-aways, and numerous odd man rushes. The Norway House North Stars iced the Game 2 victory with an empty goal with 11 seconds to go to make the final score 7-4. Game 3 is slated to be an 8:00 P.M. start on Thursday, February 23. LETS PACK THE HOUSE for the Falcons, as the Norway House fans did for the North Stars.
The Lundar Falcons Jr. B. Hockey Team would like to extend their condolences to the Danielson Family on the passing of Margaret Danielson, founding Board Member and Treasurer

On Friday night the Falcons got down two goals early in the game, but showed determination to pull within one halfway through the second. After two close calls off of goal posts by the Falcons, the Peguis Juniors scored a shorthanded goal to regain the two goal lead heading into the third. An early Peguis goal made it 4-1 and from then on, no matter what the Falcons tried to do, they could not mount any type of comeback. In the third, poor decision making and disorganized play by the Falcons resulted in six unanswered goals by Peguis making the final score 9-1. Captain Orrin Hogue was named Lundar Chicken Chef Player of the Game. The Falcons now find themselves with a record of 11-23-1 going into their final game of the season in St. Malo on Sunday February 12 @ 1:30.
On Sunday in St. Malo the Warriors opened the scoring, but the Falcons, more focused than during Friday’s third period, scored the next five goals taking a 5-1 lead into the third. In the first two minutes of the third, the Warriors were beating the Falcons to the puck resulting in three quick goals pulling within one. After a Falcon timeout, the Falcons regrouped and took back a three goal lead with two quick goals of their own. Penalty trouble hurt the Falcons as the Warriors were able to pull within one again, but an empty net goal late iced it making the final score 8-6 Falcons. The Falcons end the regular season with a 12-23-1 record matching them up with in a playoff best of five series with the Norway House North Stars. The Falcons will practice Monday and Wednesday at 8pm in preparation for the playoff series beginning in Norway House. |
