Bandits back on track with dominant performance against St. George
The Bandits bounced back from their loss Saturday in New Hamburg with a very strong performance at home against St. George.
After falling behind 2-0 early, the Bandits found their rhythm and took the fight to the visiting Generals for the last 30 minutes of the game. A much better job of clearing the puck from their defensive zone and traffic on and and in front of the Generals net were keys to the turnaround from Saturday's 4-2 loss.
As is becoming commonplace, Sebastien Haazar and Josh MacDonald continued to pace the offensive attack, both finishing the game with Hat Tricks and Sebastien adding an assist. Logan Galer potted his second of the year, and Adam Burnett opened his account with 0:26 left.
The defense did an excellent job of chasing down St. George's speedy forwards, and cleared the front of the net effectively. The wingers did their jobs as well, getting up on the Generals defensemen and chipping the puck by, which not only had defensive benefits, but also allowed the Bandits to break out of their zone more dangerously than they had all year.
While Luca "The Ice Man" Filice played a solid first two periods in net, Adam "Lugzilla" Lugowski stole the show, making many highlight reel saves in the final period to keep the Bandits ahead.
