Sometimes confidence can come from the weirdest of places.
You wouldn’t expect the Brooklyn Aces to think much of last night’s 11-2 win over the Hudson Valley Bears, a team that they haven’t lost to all season, but it may be exactly what the doctor ordered for an extremely talented offense that was in a nasty rut before that game.
Leading the way with five points last night, Eric Frank snapped out of a mini-scoring slump, powering the Aces to victory. Jesse Felten too was on his game, scoring two points and getting back on track as well. The same goes for Mike Thomson, who has two goals and an assist.
While the focal point of the Aces offense this season has always been Kyle McCullough and C.J. Tozzo, who are first and third in scoring with 64 and 62 points respectively, Brooklyn will need to get game-breaking performances out of secondary players the likes of Frank, Thomson and Felten if they wish to continue to pace the league.
Coming into last night’s game scoring only four goals in their last three games, the Brooklyn Aces’ offense was in need of a jolt.
