Recap: Icemen lose a tough one to the Silverbacks. "You can't make that many mistakes and give up a couple of soft goals to a very good team like the Silverbacks", said Big Defenseman John Bright. "They could definitely outskate us but they didn't necessarily outplay us. They're just good enough to take advantage of everything we gave them."

In a game that was much closer than the final score, two guys stood out for the Icemen. Third line center Patrick Mullen played a fantastic two-way game and the newest Icemen blueliner Jay Burke displayed some skating and puck handling skills that will be a welcome addition to the normally stingy Icemen defense.
