The fans in Huntsville are getting restless, as the 2009-10 home season has started with four straight 2-1 defeats. <\/p>\n
“That’s four games in a row where we’ve had a chance to win all of them,” Chargers’ coach Danton Cole said, “but we haven’t figured out a way to get over the hump just yet. Our margin of error isn’t very big right now. We can’t just rely on ‘Talbie’ (Cameron Talbot) to save our bacon.”<\/p>\n
Cole was happy with the effort he saw, even if the results disappointed him. “These four games are probably better than our first four. That’s the unfortunate thing.”<\/p>\n
The two teams skated through the first two periods without scoring, and then Kevin Morrison scored on a scramble in front of Dan Bakala’s net to put the home team up by a goal. <\/p>\n
“We should be able to win a game 1-0,” Cole said. “We just didn’t have the mental toughness to do that today.”<\/p>\n
Beavers’ coach Tom Serratore was excited about his team’s play. <\/p>\n
“We were opportunistic out there and took advantage of the situations given to us. We got good goaltending, and that was the difference for us.”<\/p>\n
Matt Read, who scored both goals on Saturday night, tied the game up at one on a brilliant play where he took a turnover and deked Talbot for the breakaway score. <\/p>\n
“I don’t know what to say,” Cole said. “No one around him, and we just gave him one.” <\/p>\n
Serratore said of the goal, “The defenseman coughs up the puck right there, and coughs it up to the wrong guy. That was a big-time player making a big-time play for us.”<\/p>\n
Ben Kinne scored the game-winner in overtime, and Serratore was pleased. <\/p>\n
“It was just a situation where Bennie gets the puck with speed in the neutral zone, skates to the middle, and he lets go a high one. I don’t know if there was a partial screen or what, but somehow he beat Talbot.”<\/p>\n
Cole was frustrated in talking about the game-winner. <\/p>\n
“It’s just like last night. You let it get away from you for 10 seconds, and it’s over; there’s no next shift.”<\/p>\n
Serratore praised his opposition, saying, “We’re very fortunate to come to Huntsville and get four points. I think that, overall, they carried the play the majority of the weekend.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
