Yes, my blogging efforts fell of the deep end yet again. It may have had something to do with the Bears effort the past couple of weeks, plus being out of town for a bit didn't help either. But before last night's game, we were introduced to yet another new goalie in Zoltan Hetenyi.
Hetenyi made his Solar Bears debut last night and did phenomenal (now currently taking bets on his departure), stopping 35 shots. Ryan Cruthers kept his cool much better than previous games and nearly scored a hat trick. The defense tighten up as if they thought John Curry was in net, as there was still some holes that were exposed, but not exploited by Evansville, whenever I saw Tanksi and Neal play. Puck handling didn't allow the game to more dominate, despite the score.
Tonight, we saw Hetenyi follow up his performance the night before. The Solar Bears actually played better than most games, up until 15:00 left in the game. After going in the 3rd with a 2-1 lead, the Bears let two slip by and almost immediately started playing keep-away while at the same time in panic mode. Add the fact that Gwinnett played brickwall defense, and you knew that the Bears weren't going to score again. To add injury to insult, Rob Mignardi was dealt a big blow after slipping and crashing what appears is his left ankle into the boards; he may be out the rest of the season since it looked like couldn't put any weight on it as left for the locker room, but let's hope it looked worse than it is.
