Walpole, MA - Following a two game loosing streak and a forfeited game, the Penguins were looking for redemption last night when the took on Division leaders The Wings, at Iorio Ice arena at 10:30pm. Redemption they wanted, and redemption they got. After Sean Hickey and Pat Hickey bailed on the game, after checking-in as active for the game, the Penguins had to quickly re-group and reset their lines.
"Not sure what happened," claimed Tragakis after the game. "But it was magical! I think the Hickeys were holding us back - we were amazing! It might just be because I skated with Wilmot and Sniper, the two scoring machines! But it worked!"
Although no scores or stats have been posted by the NESHL, the Penguins scored early and often, with goals coming from Sniper, Wilmot, Youngblood and Sherwood...and maybe a few other players. In the end the Penguins beat the Wings with a score of 6-5.
"It got a bit chippy out there," cited Sniper during his post-game press-conference. "That might have been my fault. Roode 1 was on his best behavior, so I had to step-up and try and insight a riot. It didn't work, but I got damn close!"
Next up for the Penguins, a Tuesday January 3rd tilt versus the Scorpions at 9pm at Iorio. The Penguins hope to continue their winning ways.
On an additional note, former Penguins Captain Chris Eighmy has begun working out with a trainer, and was seen at the Marlboro Ice Arena working out on the ice in a limited capacity. Although rumor has it that he will be cleared to play for the Penguins in the Summer Season, neither Eighmy nor his agent have made an official statement at this time.
