This young Falcons team has been struggling to find successes this year. They did manage to finally record their first win, and astonishingly their second! But before that, their hearts were broken in the shootout against the Armada. Anchorage had just shutout the Falcons the game before, so animosity had already seeped into both benches before the puck drop. Five goals in the first period had the Falcons up 3-2 at the first intermission. That lead would hold up until the first minute of the third period, when Anchorage was able to tie things up. Being so close to their first win, only to lose the lead and eventually the game would stick with the Falcons all season. When the Armada next showed up on the schedule, the Falcons felt confident they could exact vengeance for the earlier losses. However, the Armada would take the victory and the 2 points with a 5-2 victory. Three more games remain this season between the two teams. Will boats blast birds, or will beaks best battleships?
