HAWKS AIN'T BEATING THE VENOM
A little early to be boozin...
Hawks 8- Venom 7 final.
Game was very physical and had some high level play on both sides of the ball. Hawks got punched in the mouth at NAL and brought a toughness (yes with some cheap shots they were called) that had been missing a few weeks back. Both teams worthy of a top ranking with Hawks being one better today. Very even and Hawks goalie was lights outt or is definitely goes Venoms ways. These teams will probably spilt matchups for the foreseeable future. Also, both are teams that are not some mercenary squad of “nationals” chasing T-shirt’s. Funny to see Madlax complain about guest players. Not sure how to handicap the Hawks V BBL matchup, the NJ team is legit and beating the best out there.
NL dad here. Our boys lost to this BBL team in Sunday's Millon championship. Should be a great game tomorrow with the Hawks. BBL features some very athletic, physically dominating middies who can shoot accurately on the run. One guy (#54?) was bigger, faster, stronger than any other middie we faced in HoCo or have seen on the tournament circuit this summer. Just a beast. Their two goalies were both solid. If Hawks can make a few timely saves and get their transition going, and score a couple of unsettled, they can take BBL. But playing 6v6, especially with BBL's offensive middies and their big defenders on the other side, will be a difficult task. Rooting for Hawks.
