  1. Owen, Thank you for your blog. I trust that more people read it than comment. Tonight's game with Dayton is very crucial. If the Silver Hawks were to loose the only way for them to make the playoffs would be to win their two remaining games and have Dayton win none of their three remaining games. Positively, if the Hawks win tonight Dayton would need to win two of three even if the Hawks were to loose their two. GO SILVER HAWKS !!! Thanks again. led
