Over the past few games, the Brooklyn Aces have comprised a trio of players to anchor the team’s first real checking line.
Those three players, Matt McGilvray, Sean Walsh and Mike Baccaro have given the team a much different look than the offensive juggernaut they’ve been most of the season.
Even Aces head coach Chris Firriolo acknowledged the job the three did over the team’s last homestand.
“They did a good job out there,” said Firriolo after the team’s last game at home on Sunday. “They were warriors and really helped us out.”
With that being said, Firriolo no longer has the three potent offensive lines he had earlier in the season, when he and the rest of the league had a problem identifying what line was in fact the best the team had. Regardless, he now has an energy line that isn’t scared to get gritty in corners and take the body, something the team has been in desperate need of with Chad Wilcox’s status still up in the air and Mike Christensen out for the next few games.
