Two games -- two losses. Not only did the Eagles drop a pair of Provincial Junior League games this weekend, but it suffered the ultimate ultimate embarrassment of losing to the lowly Port Hope Clippers, who had won only two games this season prior to facing the Eagles. Saturday night, the Eagles dropped a 6-3 decision in Port Hope, followed by a 6-2 setback.to the division leading Lindsay Muskies. at . the Garnet B. Rickard Recreation Complex on Sunday Sunday night. "It was a lost weekend by all means," said coach Curtis Hodgins, who was incensed with his team's play in both games. In the overall scheme of things, the two losses didn't alter the current standings. The Eagles are still seventh with 41 points, two ahead of Syracuse who are in the eighth and final playoff spot. An eighth-place finish would likely mean an opening round playoff series against Lindsay, something both teams would rather avoid. Bowmanville did look like it could play with Lindsay for much of Sunday's Sunday's tilt, heading to the third period tied 2-2. But an undisciplined roughing roughing after the whistle penalty by Eagles' Eagles' defenceman Bill Burgio five minutes into the third period opened the floodgates, as. Lindsay scored on the power, play, to break the, tie, and added three more before the end of the '(Lindsay) has the best power play in the league and we were undisciplined the whole night. We took needless penalties and in the playoffs that will kill us.' Curtis Hodgins Eagles' coach period for a convincing win. "We can't afford those kind of mistakes," mistakes," said Hodgins of the late-game collapse. "Those are the things that separate good teams from mediocre teams. Hopefully we've learned our lesson because it has happened way tod much lately." Hodgins added that the momentum Lindsay gained from.the power play goal set the tone for the remainder of the period. On the night, Lindsay had eight power play chances, cashing in on two of them. Lindsay also scored two shorthanded goals. "(Lindsay) has the best power play in the league and we were undisciplined undisciplined the whole night. We took needless needless penalties and in the playoffs that will kill us." Andrew Gronross and Pat O'Hallo- ran scored the first two goals of the game for the Eagles to stake the home side to an early 2-0 lead in the first period, period, but six unanswered markers by Lindsay, two in the first and four in the third, produced the victory.
