Stripers blow up Bombers, 8-1, behind Hallinger and Franc
Posted by: Ron Brown on Wed Jul 28th 2010 1:56pm
HCHC improved their record to 7-3-1-15, staying one win behind the Icemen, behind Eric's franchise setting 13th victory, and Tom's hat trick, (3g 1a), the team's 14th of all-time.
The game was a blowout from the beginning..The Bombers really do miss those ringer's...but it still was a 'good' game.
Jason extended his point scoring streak to 9, recorded another mult-point game, and took the lead with the team's 5th game winner. Tom has scored 7 points in two games, Eric has won 12 of his last 15, and we had no penalties. Way to go! Matt scored his 19th and is now one behind Jeff H. at 5th on the all-time 'Fish' goal list. Jason's game winner was his 30th, tieing him with the great Pannu as all-time goal getter.
Cookout Sunday, after the First place battle with the Icemen!
Mike has the links, Jeff has the grill, Keith has the chips, Joe might have some goodies, I got the rolls and a Newcastle Mini keg.....
IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN RUNNING IN THE BALTIMORE MARATHON TEAM RELAY IN OCTOBER.......LET ME KNOW SOON!

The 'lower c' leading Icemen did not come out victorious against the mighty Dragons of 'the upper c'. Both the Stripers and 'The Men of Ice' have battles on Tuesday evening, at the famed Ice World, situated in the rolling hills of Abingdon, MD. The Icemen (7-2-1-15) and HCHC (6-3-1-13) are set to do battle the following Sunday.
Stripers fall in heartbreaker, 4-3, in OT

HCHC came up short against the Cobras, falling 4-3 in OT.
A late 3rd period goal, with 1:28 remaining, kept the Stripers from victory. Just as stunning as the equalling goal, the winner was just as devastating. The Cobras took their momentum from their last minute heroics, and won it at 0:19 mark of overtime. Praise to everyone. What a great game! We will definately learn from this defeat and it has prepared us for the intense playoff journey that awaits us. During the game, Paul had a goal and an assist, Tom had a goal and 2 assists, and Ron scored his 1st of the year, assisted by the fabulous Busschaert. Applause to Eric..again for keeping us in the game, and for recording the "Fish's" first ever goalie assist.
Great game to all, let's smash the Bombers, and not look ahead to the clash with the Iceman the next week. Stay focussed!
Cobras eek it out in OT
Posted by: Jeff Bartolomeo on Wed Jul 21st 2010 3:57pm
When HCHC Captain Jeff Bartolomeo walked into the despondent post-game locker room at Ice World Arena after the Stripers had lost, 4-3, in overtime to the Cobras last Tuesday night, he told the players they still were champions.
Bartolomeo was being literal. This wasn't some hokey "win or lose, every kid's a winner" message one of the player's dads gives a 6-year-old T-ball team. The Stripers are winners no matter what!
"It was a great game," alternate captain Ron Brown said. (NEVER SAID THAT RB) "No one felt as bad as me on that one goal. Then we got to OT and then we realized, 'Woah! We gotta keep playing, MAN!"
"It was like we just wanted to win in regulation so much first, and then we realized we were playing an OT period and we were like 'Oh my gosh.'
"But then we came out tonight and played hard in the OT session. It was a great game. We can look back on this game, definitely, as a great success for us," said Brown...(NEVER SAID THAT EITHER....) after the game, "Nobody expected we'd lose. We're really disappointed right now, but I just told the other Fish, 'Go outside with your heads up. You're still Stripers, so that's a good thing, too.'"
The mood was somber and plenty of tears were shed in and around the team's locker room at Ice World Arena -- one player wept alone with his head buried in his gloves, still in full uniform, with his back against a hallway wall and his legs stretched straight out outside the locker room door until teammates came to console him.
But, in time, the Stripers began to recognize their accomplishments.
"I was in the shower kind of standing there reflecting on it, and you realize what you did accomplish and that it was something amazing," said Tom Hallinger. "You and the 7 other guys on this team tonight that showed up did something that no one in our Team's history has ever done. We played without yelling at each other.
"I may not remember maybe a lot of my uncles and aunts when I die, but when I die, those 7 other guys tonight, I'll never forget. That's something that I'll take with me to the grave -- those guys and achieving what we did, it was almost unbelievable."
Eric Franc allowed only four goals in the game (including the OT period).
"What I told the guys was everybody else in our organization is supposed to say thank you to Tom Hallinger for what he did tonight," Brown said.
"Like our coach told us, we're still champions," Ludwig said. "We wanted to be winners, too, but we've worked our tails off this season and we often got some good luck. But tonight, we didn't have it."
Stripers deal Black Aces 4-1 smashing, Still trail Icemen

HCHC was victorious in their 80th game in franchise history, as they roll past the Black Aces, 4-1. Improving on the season to 6-3, it was the first time that the club has won 4 of 5 games, and are now 3 games above .500 for the first time. Hacker opened up the scoring, tallying his 19th goal in a green sweater, putting him into solo 4th place on the 'Fish" goal list. Paul had 2 dingers and his 2nd game winner, Matt had two assists, moving him into 3rd with 21a, and 4th with 39pts. Jason had a goal and an assist, passing Ron on the franchise point list with 51, (29g, 22a), and now has a club leading 14 multi-point games, and is 1 goal behind Pannu. WAY TO GO JASON! Eric was the man again, and is now tied with Kaleo with 12 victories. We have the Cobras next, a beatable 'upper C' team. Let's get that elusive 3 game winning streak.
