Ducks Win!!! ColumbusDucks.com Staff Writer – January 26, 2009 Double entendres aside, the Ducks took to the ice Thursday Night and beat Off in the Box with a convincing 4 – 1 victory. The Ducks proven, stifling defense returned to form after allowing a disappointing 3 goals a week before. The goalkeeping of Don McMillen, save for one slight miscue, was it’s ever present dominating self. Also, the relentless Ducks attack was too much for the Off in the Box team to handle and they had to resort to committing penalties to slow down the Ducks offense. A pair of goals from Brandon Wilkins proved to be all the Ducks would need in the offensive end, but Bill Ross and Matt Lockard each added a goal to the Ducks tally. While the offensive effort from Ross and Wilkins were without a doubt deserving of accolade it was the Lockard goal that many Ducks fans left the game remembering. Ducks Captain John McConnell, playing defense in the game, rifled a clearing pass from the red line into the Off in the Box zone. The puck crashed into the board behind and to the right of the Off in the Box goal and after taking a strange carom bounced right in front of the goal. Matt Lockard was flying into the zone and found the puck landing right onto his stick after the funny bounce. After throwing a deke that drew the goalie out of the net Lockard buried the puck into the back of the net. The Ducks will look to keep their winning streak alive next week against Champs out at Easton at 10:15 pm. Come out and show your support for the team |
