Definitely the team to beat; #22 is playing like a man among boys. He was close to unstoppable. True had some nice goalie play and Madlax and FCA both had very good FO guys and solid defenses along with Hawks defense. VLC was big but I do not think they're ready for elite just yet.
I was watching the Madlax game on the other baseball field and saw a late cheap shot on the Hawks (to the head) from one of those FCA defenseman. I hope that the player is OK
You were a field away and 'saw' a cheap shot? You may need to update the prescription on your glasses. I watched that kid play against Madlax after our first game and he was clearly one of better athletes playing yesterday. My son and I wanted to see the Hawks/FCA game after our 2nd game and even though the hawks had possession most of the game and dominated that kid again stood out for FCA; he's big, fast and aggressive. The kid is tall and he put his shoulder right and the Hawks players chest and buried him; flag came in late once the kid did not get up and the Hawks coach lost his mind IMO. I hope the Hawks kid is alright as well but to call that a cheap shot is hilarious and probably coming from the hawks parent.
Only a Hawks parent would bring that up.
First let me state that I am a Hawks Dad; I know I know I am already hated. FCA was our most challenging game yesterday to say the least; they are improved. As far as the hit in question it was not a cheap shot but it was a penalty. FCA defenseman came in about 1/2 step too late and laid a big hit. I honestly don’t think he could have stopped his momentum at that point and it was unfortunate. That being said I would take that kid on our team in a heartbeat; he’s gifted and just needs some coaching.
