Sunday at the forum will bring back memories to a lot of hockey fans over the years as many great battles have been played out here. Today the Hurricane and Gulls would battle for the second time within twenty four hours in an attempt to stop the Hurricanes from being the first to reach the 20 win barrier.

From the start the Hurricane had better jump, something that had been missing and with the increased speed good things would happen soon. Sure enough the Hurricanes found themselves on the power play. Cole Mulrooney kept the attempted clearing shot inside the blue line and then moved it to Stone Harnish who passed it quickly to Morgan Messenger (Harnish) in the slot. Although not pretty, it was creative, as Morgan backhanded the puck past the Gulls netminder to give the Hurricane a one goal lead.

In the second, play was being controlled by the Hurricane D-men moving the puck and skating away from traffic. The Gulls were back to their old tricks of trying to slow down the Hurricane offense which was having some effect. However the Gulls would soon find themselves in penalty trouble again. Some good work by Christian Tufts on the end boards allowed Josh Shatford to emerge from behind the goal line only to find an open Morgan Messenger on the side of the goal and with a quick feed Morgan (Shatford, Christian Tufts) buried it to make the power play 2 for 2.

The third period had some hiccups and penalty kill was now the special team of choice. While things were looking good initially a bad bounce from a stick on stick collision gave the open Gull a chance to fire one point blank into the Hurricane net.

With the Gulls now within striking distance the final two trips to the sin bin by the Hurricane were going to make things interesting. This time the penalty kill was up to the task and even managed to kill off the few seconds the Gulls would have as part of a five on three. With no scoring threats for the Gulls from there on in the Hurricane once again get the job done. Make the final Hurricane 2 – Gulls 1.
