00:00 They'll be looking, well, we'll be looking to repeat what we did first game of the season
00:09 against MK, although maybe not so tense in the third period.
00:13 Good bit of work by Alex Kent there on the forecheck, just to try and force that one
00:17 back into the MK zone, but they could break out here, long stretch past the Ross Venus.
00:21 Dylan Lawrence, team dispossessed well by Lee Bonner, going Britman inside, oh!
00:26 To the left of Will Curling's pads, we said they needed the fast starters, the Tim Lines,
00:33 that's exactly what they've got.
00:34 Good bit of work, I've got to say, on the last shift, Alex Kent forcing them back into
00:39 the run zone, long pass find for Venus, he's dispossessed and then Bonner breaks left side
00:44 inside to Brewton with a fantastic finish.
00:47 Giorno McLaughlin's even out the net to meet them for that one, great start for the Seahawks.
00:51 Yeah, Matt, I can't be too happy, too much more happy, sorry, I should say.
00:56 Svek looked to knock it past his man, but it's a good job there by Green.
01:06 Brock Bartholomew though, high on the forecheck, causing a few problems, Towner now inside,
01:10 goal!
01:11 Excellent start.
01:12 2-0 Seahawks.
01:13 That goal all created by Brock Bartholomew, he's stepping up high at the blue line, trapping
01:24 the puck and the pass inside to Sam Towner, finish high over the shoulder and after just
01:32 8.39 the Seahawks lead by 2.
01:38 Pass off the board, finds Lawrence, he's got Cameron Hamill of course, the former Seahawks
01:42 inside, taken around the net by Bartholomew, but his attempted clearance doesn't work.
01:49 Didn't find where he needed to do and Dylan Lawrence fires past Giorno McLaughlin to bring
01:53 this back to a one goal game.
01:58 Just as you felt MK was starting to grow into this one, they don't get the puck clear, Max
02:04 Stewart's the one to pick it up, finds Dylan Lawrence inside and MK find the back of the
02:10 net.
02:11 Great bit of skating past McEwan, great bit of puck movement as well, no interference
02:17 goal there, not going to have anything on the ice but Cole's still in possession and
02:21 Ruckus digs it away, goal!
02:25 Exactly what Hull needed, Tom Stubbley.
02:34 Excellent work by Hull, don't get frustrated by the lack of the interference call on Ulrich,
02:38 they keep the puck moving and exactly what they needed to do, Stubbley fires past Curlin
02:43 and this is a 3-1 lead to the Seahawks, 2.35 remains.
02:48 Again looking to go past Martel, he gets the shot away, come all the way around to Alex
02:53 Kent on the ball to the left side, finds Ulrich, Kent now looking to get inside but he's...
02:58 Oh great wow!
02:59 I didn't even see Giorno Fischer on the back door and he comes in!
03:05 Fires it past, up over the left shoulder of Curlin and the Hull record Seahawks lead 4
03:11 goals to 1.
03:13 Alex Kent was almost jammed up between Dylan Lawrence and another player on the near side
03:17 post but the pass comes right the way across to the back door and Jordan Fischer gets his
03:23 second goal in as many games.
03:27 This one slightly easier than the one last night.
03:29 Far down I believe, oh best thing I've ever seen produced, brilliant goal.
03:36 Between these two sides MK are pretty proficient on that and somehow that's found a way out.
03:41 Liam Stewart is looking to get a shot away from in close, almost on the goal line.
03:48 Svec will now play this one out.
03:51 Towner gets it out of his skates, onto the net of Curlin, just settles that for a team
03:56 mate, he wraps around to the right side, it's green, long stretch pass now.
03:59 Barmer looking to get close and he finds a way through and we've got the MK Lightning
04:06 just as we hit halfway in this game, claw back to within two.
04:11 It's going to be one that Jordan McLaughlin is probably going to want back, outstretched
04:16 pad somehow found a way through to the back of the net.
04:19 Absolutely, I mean Jordan faces shots like that every single day in training and he saves
04:23 them all the time, it's definitely one he's going to want back there.
04:27 He knew a net behind us perfect, I think Tom Stubbley has just gone up and maybe had a
04:31 quick word of him.
04:32 It's an unfortunate one but he's got to get his head back in the game now, Hull still
04:36 with a two goal lead and doing all the right things.
04:39 Absolutely, Jordan will do what he needs to do to reset and he'll be good to go for the
04:42 next shot.
04:43 We'll find Ulrich, cuts outside, it's deflected and Christy will pick us off the boards.
04:50 Finlay Bonner looking to try and come in and steal that one, his pass though couldn't find
04:54 Finlay Ulrich.
04:57 Herman now cuts inside, enters the Hull zone from right to left, Venus, goal!
05:03 That's a great move by the MK Lightning and just like that a game can change in just a
05:09 minute.
05:10 Hull doing all the right things, creating pressure, trying to force a turnover down
05:15 the other end but Rory Herman gets a bit of space and a nice pass to Venus with a good
05:19 finish right over the shoulder of Jordan McLaughlin.
05:24 It's just a really good shot, I mean as a team we'll want that back because we shouldn't
05:29 have let him in the position that he got into but it was a well taken goal in the end.
05:33 Almost allowed, I think Rory Herman a little bit too much space as he entered the zone,
05:36 just almost invited him to come and create something.
05:39 Yeah we stood off a little bit too much on that one.
05:42 Good stop that one.
05:46 Don't know how much traffic there was but with a shot, when Emil Speck is walking down
05:51 on you, you know it's going to be a tough one to save no matter what.
05:56 I mean his shot is just such a cannon and he's been in the league for some time because
05:59 of it.
06:00 Bartholomew now, that one's going to find its way off the board, Townend deflected off
06:08 one of the officials, Chamberlain can't quite turn it towards the net.
06:12 Speck now, Ulrich's going to keep that in just on the blue line.
06:15 Drops it off for Speck, finds the traffic deflection, goal!
06:21 Good goal for Bobby Chamberlain.
06:22 Chamberlain with a tip, I think he's got another deflection on the way through but I think
06:27 it's Bobby Chamberlain with the final tip into the left side of Will Curlin's net.
06:33 And a 15.36 remaining of the third period.
06:37 The Hull Racket Seahawks stretch back out to a two goal advantage.
06:46 Really important goal for Hull and it's a really important goal for Bobby as well obviously
06:49 against his former team.
06:51 We saw what it meant to him I think down in MK in sort of, I think it was early October.
06:58 It was certainly an arm up but it was waved off by someone.
07:08 Herman now looking to put inside goes back outside but Bartholomew dispossesses him well
07:15 and it's a well placed pass.
07:18 He's getting for a goal!
07:21 What a great bit of work!
07:24 Was it Ben Soldner?
07:25 I think he's sent down to the ice from the right side.
07:26 Just delays it enough, gets Will Curlin to sell himself out and fires it round the back
07:30 of the outstretched net behind her.
07:32 Will Curlin cannot be happy with this if I could play an entire day out.
07:35 He's back skating, he's under pressure and he's just lost an edge and just allowed Emil
07:40 Speck to get a one on one and he does what Emil Speck does and finish goals.
07:47 It has been I would be honest so 50/50 with Hull.
07:49 They either look like the experts at it or they seem to forget the rules of it and this
07:56 has to be one of those games where they just use the head.
08:00 See this one out, tie up the puck in the corners.
08:06 Spank round defines its way through and as we hit 1.59 on the clock MK get back to within
08:15 two but we've got to be careful here now.
08:18 We've seen what MK can do in quick succession, goals can go bang, bang, bang like that.
08:24 We know that Hull, they've just got to do exactly what they were doing 30 seconds ago.
08:28 Run the time off, dump the puck, get the changes, keep the men fresh.
08:31 Exactly and Will Curlin now looking over to his bench to see if he can come for the extra
08:36 attacker.
08:37 Last two minutes could be a good shout.
08:40 Definitely against a 6ft5 it is something that Hull have at times struggled with.
