Great food, great friends, great games, Christmas looks good on the league.
First, let's thank the league and Adam and Mercedes for the great food. The snow was a bit of a downer. I hope everyone made it home safely. I live close and it was not awesome.
Ok, Let's get into it.
The early game had Manville Pizza versus Edge Doctor. The first was a clean sheet. In the second, MPP opened up the scoring. Not sure who was subbing in, but they wore #8. Keith set it up. Second half of the middle period belonged to Edge Doctor. Shawn Smith tied the game. Richie Dias took the lead. Adam Babikian broke it out to a 2 goal lead. In the third MPP made a comeback and tied the game with 2 goals. Again, mystery guest #8 and Keith. Then, the rest of the game belonged to Edge Doctor. Shawn Smith with the game winner. Bill Babikian getting the insurance goal and Richie finishing the task. 6-3 Edge Doctor.
Game 2. Always a pleasure. Another game with no score in the first. In the second Votta Properties broke it open. The Smith family having a day. Mila Smith got the first goal for the purple. Followed by 2 goals from Steve Albertelli. Final Touch would have a come back. Brian Cormier, never gave up on the puck and got a late period goal. In the third Mila got another goal and the game winner, it turns out. That is 4 Smith goals and 2 game winners. Wow. Final Touch did get 2 more goals one from Glenn Medeiros. And a goal the warm room felt was suspect, but they drink, ICB got the goal aka Marc O'Conner. Not enough to get it done. Votta Properties with the win 4-3.
And the final game, Vescera Law and Quick Dam. This one was tight. The first ended in a 2-1 Vescera advantage. Quick Dam, started the scoring early on. Vescera would get the next 2 Neil Yee with the first one. Dillon Rabitor would tie the game in the second for Quick Dam. Andrew Laird would get the game winner, set up by Shannon Caverly and Doc Manzo. That would do it. The third was a clean sheet. Quick Dam would get the upset. 3-2
Hope everyone has a great week.

Hi Everyone, I will start this with a PSA. This comes from the league. Please take this to heart.
Hey folks! I was asked to post a reminder that this is a FUN, rec league. One of the great things about the draft style league is that everyone moves around teams every few months and skates with everyone, which eliminates that "us versus them" mentality you see in other leagues.
But from time to time we have to remember that we're all friends here, and need to dial down the temperature a little. Things have gotten a bit more tense the last several weeks, with more aggressiveness and more fights, skirmishes, body checks and open-ice hits than usual.
Just a reminder that we have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy towards fighting. Scuffles and wrestling matches will get the game misconduct as they always do, but once punches start flying we are not going to tolerate it. Additional game suspensions will happen, and even permanent ejection from the league. We've done it already and won't hesitate to continue doing so.
Let's remember this is a non-checking league - let's keep it clean and have fun out there!
- Mike, Shawn and Eric
I am going to make this quick. I am tired. I had to play against Garret, Kosinski and Coppin last night. So bad I had to trip Gary. Not the snail from Spongebob, Gary Ouilette. Yeah, He was so hurt he scored. Enough of my bitchin.
Quick Dam fell to Votta Properties. The one man show of number 8. Guessing it was Steve Albertelli scoring 4 out of their 5 goals. End result was 5-2 Votta with the win.
In game 2 Vescera Law took it to Manville Pizza. 4 goals by Shane, McCaptain McCormick. Ryan Degnan and Kreg Labelle for the goals on MPP. Bobby Killah Watts and Avery Coppin with the other goals for Vescera.
Avery was not done and got to play with other number ones on Green Goddess in the next game. Big Comeback for Final Touch, like Kim Kardashian. Goddess spread it out a bit, but mostly it was Our boy White gloves Mark Kosinski killing it. Final Touch had 3 goals by Ben Hevner leading the way Nice Sombrero. And 2 by Scott Webber. Woody in net for Baro, filled some big shoes. 5-4 Final Touch.
Ok, thank god that is over. I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. And for those of you who celebrate, a very Happy Hanukkah. Remember, this is the time of giving and not worrying about getting. Enjoy your families. Its the most wonderful time of the year.
See you all soon.
