MATTY DAVIES says his Hull Seahawks team will throw everything they can into securing their first-ever piece of silverware when they head south for the second leg of their NIHL National Cup Final tie with Milton Keynes Lightning.
The Seahawks trail 5-4 after the first leg in Hull last Wednesday, a scoreline which looked unlikely until Tim Wallace’s team scored two goals within six seconds of each other in the last five minutes to steal a precious one-goal advantage. As was the case last week, there has been little to choose between the two teams all season, Hull edging the five-game head-to-head series 3-2 and, crucially, being the only team to win in Milton Keynes this season.
“We rested, Sobs, Stubs and Jordy, but it was more about how we played in trying to rest those players while they were still playing, which is obviously tough to do during games,” added Davies. “We were trying to manage their ice time as best we could with Tuesday night in mind and trying to get through the weekend without being too exhausted for the second leg of the final.
