well, the georgia tech club hockey team continues to struggle.  their
power play was horrendous as they dropped two this weekend to scha rival
kentucky.  the yellow jackets gave up numerous 2-on-1's and several
short-handed goals this weekend, as they saw their scha playoff hopes slip
even further away.
 
 
friday (at lexington)
 
the yellow jackets fell behind 7-1 at the end of the second period, but
roared out of the locker room to score 5 straight goals in 9 minutes to
pull within one.  the kentucky coach called for a time out, and the
kentucky coldcats responded by scoring the next three goals to pull out a
10-6 victory in front of the home crowd.
 
 
saturday (at louisville)
 
the two teams played before the icehawks to avoid playing another midnight
game.  both teams looked much slower than friday night, but the coldcats
were able to hold off tech to take a 5-2 victory.  from an obviously
biased point of view, the officiating seemed to favor kentucky, but a good
team wins despite the officiating, and tech didn't.
 
 
season outlook:
 
tech needs to win their remaining conference games against emory
university, university of georgia, and georgia state university.  in
addition, the jackets need to beat emory by at least three goals to ensure
a playoff berth.  just for the scha novice, the top four teams make the
playoffs.
