This week on Hurstool Blog

This week on Hurstool blog I wanna give you guys a little recap of what went down this weekend for the Mercyhurst Club hockey team and their big win over Gannon University.



On Friday, the Lakers traveled to face off against their cross-town rival the Gannon Golden Knights over at the Erie Insurance Arena in a contested battle that each team did not wanna lose. The Lakers got things starting early scoring their 1st goal of the game going 3 minutes into the period with a greasy set up pass going straight into the net off a one timer which happened to be the only goal in the 1st ending the period 1-0. They got thing going again in the 2nd making it 2-0 leaving Gannon with a lot of work to get themselves back into the game. With just 5 minutes left in the period Gannon gets one back making the score 2-1 keeping it close with lakers fans in a nervous wreck. Going into the game the Lakers had a record of 4-0 leading into this battle. With both teams respectively going back and fourth to each side of the ice the Lakers score off an empty net goal to finish the game 3-1 making them 5-0 in the campaign.

With the Lakers unbeaten in 5 games for the first time in program history, they will take the bye week on Halloween weekend and look to keep their winning streak going on starting November 3rd with back to back games to start the weekend at home with two divisional match-ups as they take on Rochester College and the Alleghany Gators Saturday night. Can the Lakers keep the streak alive? We'll find out soon, have yourselves a spooky Halloween everyone!! 🎃🏒

 Pittsburgh Steelers off to a 6-3 start The Pittsburgh Steelers sit at 2nd place in the current AFC North rankings with a record of 6-3. The Pittsburgh Steelers are a young, talented group with a winning culture and and experienced coaching staff. George Pickens, the wide receiver, running back Najee Harris, and quarterback Kenny Pickett lead the offense. The defense of the Steelers, which is anchored by TJ Watt, Cameron Heyward and Minkah Fitzpatrick is also excellent and one of the best in the league in many statistical categories.   Pictured: Kenny Pickett Photo courtesy of 90.5 WESA   The offense has been a bit shaky at times during this season due to the lack of productivity with the rushing game, issues with protecting Kenny Pickett, and overall struggles from Pickett and the running game. It is safe to say that they rely on their defense. The Steelers defense is currently ranked second in the NFL in total defense and third in the NFL in scoring defense. The defens...
