BATS DOMINATE BEES 4-1

By admin | March 14, 2008

Hidalgo, Texas—The Austin Ice Bats bagged two power play goals en route to a 4-1 win over the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees Friday night at the Dodge Arena. 

Austin started early as R.G. Flath connected on a power play at 2:48 into the first period. Henry Kuster followed at the 6:11 mark on a shot from the right side of Rio netminder David Lemanowicz that grazed the top of his glove to increase the Bats lead 2-0 going into the second period.

Flath scored his second of the night at the 3:29 mark in the second, with John Ronan following midway through the period on the power play to give the Bats a 4-0 lead.

Bonar became the third Killer Bee to score 20 goals by redirecting a Mike Bartlett shot at 17:27. 

Miguel Beaudry captured the win in net with 25 saves, while Lemanowicz suffered the loss with 37 saves.

The Bees end their 3-in-3 weekend at home for the last game of a double-header versus the Ice Bats at the Dodge Arena Saturday night. Game time is set for 7:35 p.m. 

COACH FIXTER SOUNDBITES

 What is this team looking to achieve now that they are out of the playoffs?

 ”Well I think that would be a good question for the players. Based on tonight’s performance a few of them aren’t looking to achieve much. I was rather disgusted by some of the efforts put in by some of the guys and there were other guys who played their heart out. There is still a reason to play, for sure, in my eyes.” 

What allowed, or how was Austin able to score four times before the Bees posted even one goal tonight?

 ”It was a combination of bad play and bad luck. Their a team that is fighting for their lives and they came out guns ablazing. They showed that they still have a chance and they played hard.”

Do you feel the latest schedule has taken a toll on the team and how they have skated the last few games (the last three were losses)? 

“It’s been tough. They are tired and I’m not making excuses, but they are a tired group. We have had a lot of games in a very short period of time.” 

Any other thoughts on tonight’s game?

 ”I’d like to forget about tonight and think about tomorrow.”
