Falcons shred Neshaminy 9-1

The Pennsbury VS Neshaminy Varsity game tonight was an exciting one to say the least, well mainly if you are a Pennsbury fan. The Falcons routed the Redskins 9-1 but there were also a few fights that broke out, which will probably be the most exciting portion of the game. The game started off with the Falcons flying and it ended with it that way as well, as the Pennsbury power play clicked tonight. The scoring was opened up by Pennsbury's stud defenseman, Erik Rinehold who sniped a wrist shot past goaltender Collin Mazer top left corner for the 1-0 Pennsbury lead on the power play, as Matt Mager and Ken Mccormick both assisted on the goal. It didn't take long for the Falcons power play to strike again on the power play as Dobz (Alex Dobzanski) scored from the point for the 2-0 lead. The Falcons defensemen were taking control of the game as Phil Herring sniped his goal for the 3-0 lead; this was the third straight goal by a Pennsbury defenseman. It wouldn't end there, after a great defensive effort by Rinehold and Burkhart in their own defensive zone, the Falcons rush broke out and Erik Rinehold hit his second goal of the game and a 4-0 lead. It seemed the momentum was taking a slight shift as the Redskins caught a break when their first goal came off the skate of Dobzanski. It appeared Neshaminy would get a second after that, but after a clear cut whistle had Chapin off guard, the goal was waived off due to the off sides call. Chapin redeemed himself, as the next Neshaminy rush resulted in a great left pad save by the senior netminder. One of the he men in front of Chapin, Dobzanski shined in this game. Ken Mccormick would score the first Falcons goal by a forward on a beauty. Mccormick dangled around the Neshaminy defense and sniped home another power play goal. It was just a dominating effort by the Falcons all game long and it showed, Captain Matt Mager scored the second goal of the game by a forward for a 6-0 lead and defenseman Colin Gannon, who was solid all game defensively made it 7-0. It was at that point, the second period got very frisky. Colin Healy and Neshaminy's Michael Gorman fought and Healy wrestled Gorman to the ground and both players were shown the door, and got ejected. With under two minutes left in the period is when the most exciting aspect of the game occured. Pennsbury goaltender Corey Chapin was run into, Chapin reacted with a hook and his teammates jumped in. Dobzanski was ejected from the game for fighting and looks like he could face a probable four game suspension which would hurt the power play and defense unit. He wasn't the only Falcon, as Matt Mager also got thrown out. Nick Burkhart, who was also running a show out there was shown the penalty box with Sean Harlow as the two only got off with two minute penalties a piece. Ironically enough, Harlow would score the Falcons eighth goal not too long in the third period after getting out of the penalty box. Erik Rinehold and Colin Gannon were paired for a majority of the third period, and their work ethic together shut down any Redskin rushes. At the end, Luke Matthews goal was just a smack in the face as Pennsbury embarrassed Neshaminy 9-1.
