Generals Weekly Report

March 9, 2010 - International Hockey League 2 (IHL 2)
Flint Generals News Release


The second week of March IHL hockey begins Wednesday night for the Generals as they pay a visit to Dayton. Flint has won its last two battles with the Gems, once at home at Perani and one on the road. For the past couple of weeks the two teams have been tied for 6th place in their fight to make the playoffs, but with their win in Fort Wayne this past Sunday, the Generals took sole possession of 6th place and now find themselves 7 points out of a playoff spot.

Friday the boys of Flint return to Perani to welcome the Gems for the second game of this home-and-home and the eighth installment of City Pride Night at Perani, pitting Brighton and Howell against each other in a battle for the most and loudest fans, drawing on their Brighton connections in hopes for a big crowd.

They have Saturday to rest before hitting the ice Sunday in their makeup game with Bloomington that was originally scheduled for February 16th. The physical nature of this matchup has calmed down a bit the past couple of meetings, but only in the fighting sense (the hard hits keep on coming).

Looking Back:

The twenty-first week of IHL action ended with the Generals nabbing 2 of 3 games (2-1-0-0). Wednesday Port Huron came to town and the IceHawks skated away with their second straight win over Flint, after the Generals had garnered an impressive 4-1-0-0 record against their east Michigan rivals in their previous five meetings.

Saturday the Generals hosted Fort Wayne. The Komets won the previous contest in Fort Wayne in a back and forth 6-5 game. The home team was victorious once again, with the Gens putting up a well played 60 minutes and coming away with the 3-1 decision.

The G-Men headed down to Fort Wayne Sunday for a 5PM faceoff. The Komets shelled Flint netminder Sergei Zvyagin with 56 shots but the Moscow, Russia native turned aside 54 of them including 18 in the third period after the Generals took a 3-2 lead, holding on for the win. The road victory was the Generals first in Fort Wayne all season.
