Daily Pulse: "Beck & Bootz" - 11.9.26

The FPHL season is firing up for Twin City Thunderbirds fans as the boys are coming off a 2 game Win Streak with the Blue Ridge Bobcats over the weekend. The Birds took the quick bus trip up to Wytheville, Virginia to face their In-Conference rival this past Friday night. With the Cats sitting at a 2 game lead on the Thunderbirds, the team wanted to make sure their talons were out against this scrappy well coached squad.

Fans were treated to some fireworks as the boys came away with a 3-2 victory on Friday, where they saw (Captain) Zach White, (Forward) Dominic Dumas, & (Forward) Joe McCormick receiving the game's 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Stars respectfully after a Overtime finale. Saturday turned out to be a wild night for the flock in Winston-Salem as the boys had the home nest a buzz all game long. Biggest shock of the night was the amount of SOG (Shots On Goal) against Thunderbirds Goaltender and Rookie Ayvin Eidsness with 54 on Saturday alone. Over the entire weekend Eidsness faced over 90 shots from the Cats. Which has become something Coach Buttitta plans to address with his team as they will face Blue Ridge a total of 12 games this season.

Coach Jon "Bootz" Buttitta joined Steven Beck on "The Daily Pulse" this morning and gave his thoughts of the weekend and where his boys should be aiming for this coming weekend's games against the Watertown Wolves.
