Paisley Mohawks 3
Dynamos 9 19 Apr 70 Play Offs Semi 2nd Leg
Report by Farquhar Matheson – IceHockey Herald
No15 – June 1970
Two fine saves by Newall
were the feature of the opening minutes. Then, with A Lavety in the box and the Paisley rearguard too attack mined, R Stevenson
streaked away, outpacing the chasing defenders and laid the puck in front of brother Barry who flipped it past the defenceless
Newall. Then came a spate of minors culminating with A Lavety returning to the fray too soon – a mistake that went unpunished
– and Glasgow scored another goal. Although Hawks might claim that it should not have been a goal, the way the match
was running, I don’t think it had any bearing on the ultimate result.
The second frame did not
bring the expected Paisley revival, and for them it was a period of woe. They lost four more goals, G Miller with a recurrence
of ligament trouble, Tait with a cut mouth, made elementary mistakes in front of their won goal, missed what chances they
did have and were consistently out classed and out played
by a much superior Glasgow
side.
The last period was but thirty
seconds old when Falconer broke Nelson’s shut out with a superb goal and shortly after Brennan made it 6-2. Then W Lavety
and Hester (2) made it nine before W Miller notched the final goal. Reid, who performed most competently on his comeback,
received a match misconduct for derisively disputing a minor.
Compared to previous games
between the teams this was a big let down. Dynamos were slick moving and enterprising whereas Mohawks seem jaded and McCrae
looked anything but fit
