Christmas is coming. Lucky Christmas!
Back in action at the rink. 3 games, 3 outcomes.
Vescera Law and Edge Doctor. Edge Doctor shocked the hockey world and gained first place in the standings. Tough going, but it was a game. The first period was tied 2 to 2 at the end. Richie Dias on the first one early from Shawn Smith. The second goal was by 2 subs apparently. Edge Doc had the lead 2-0. The second half of the first was Shane McCormick and Raf Manzo on the goals. Tied. No scoring in the second, but some action in the penalty box. 5 penalties in the second. In the third. 2 goals to one by Edge. Cory Landi and Richie Dias for the goals. Richie (spoiler) got the GWG. V-Law did get a mid period goal, but could not get over the hump. 4-3 Win for Edge Doctor.
Get your Kicks On Route 66. 4 Goals by 66. Greg Briely with 4 goals. The other one by Jay Arruda. and another by a sub. Quick Dam won this one going away. Green Goddess was in the game in the first. The second belonged to QD. The third belonged to the Refs. Almost a Donnybrook eh. Let's move on. Any who. Green Goddess had 2 goals one from Garret Reilly and one from Little Robbie Edelman. Quick Dam won 6-2.
And then the game of the week. You know how when you tie a game, one team feels like they win the tie and another feels like the lost and a win got away from you. The tale as long as time. Welp, we, Final Touch, felt like we won the tie and Manville Pizza likely felt like the lost (sources say). In the first the double puck conundrum. Ricky Votta subbing in got the party started. Late in the period, Ben Hevner put in a beauty top shelf. Ridiculous shot. In the second, an early start with Marc O'Connor from Scott Webber. The Brief tie for Final Touch. Did you see the Couch back on the ice. Yep Captain Eric Campbell laced em up. The second belonged to MPP however. Ricky Votta with 2 consecutive goals. One set up by Shannon Reilly and the other by Ryan Degnan. Another 2 goals for MPP one by Kreg Labelle and the other by Mike Thomas. They were in the drivers seat with a 5-2 lead. In the last minute of the second, 2 goals by Scott Webber one from O'Connor and one from Brian Cormier. The third was back and forth action. Goalies not letting up and grit and grime everywhere. And then it happened. The long and winding goal. Marc O'Connor put in the tying goal for Final Touch. That would do it. 5-5.
Hope everyone has some Christmas Cheer. Call your family and connect.
Tonight Eric Robichaud and Mike Dussualt are at TJ's in Milford for an Unplugged event. 7-10. If you can, this is a fun show.
Have a great week.

Pre Thanksgiving Special. Turkeys are everywhere.
Hello, Is it me you're looking for.
Vescera Law versus Votta Properties- Here we go, Shane McShane Shane captain McCormick started the scoring for the Law midway through the first, set up by Gary Ouilette. Gary would set up the next one 30 seconds later. Neil Yee would finish the set up. 2 goals by number 7. whoever that was, I had the 10:20 game. But I did see Steve Albertelli. Really not sure what team he was playing for, but it would make sense, getting a hatty. In the second Votta got on the board down by 4. Shannon Franco tenacity at its finest gets burst the bubble. Another goal by the Properties, cut the lead in half. Shane would add to the lead late in 2, with likely a breakaway. Votta was still not done and got on the board again in the third. Law would get one late in the 3rd to put the exclamation point on th the win. 6-3.
Guess which team is out of the basement? Yep the Pizza Palace, chipped away at the standings. This was a barn burner. MPP versus Green Goddess. Rob Edelman started the scoring for the Green with White gloves, Mark Kosinski and Scott Reilly on the apples. Manville answered with a goal. Set up by Keith and Ryan. I am not sure how this happened, but literally 2 seconds Raf got kept the lead for Goddess. And like a ping pong match, MPP's Ryan Degnan got the tie 30 seconds after. Ok, now late in the period Mark Kosinski regained the lead. He was set up by Rob and JW before JW's skate broke. 5 seconds later according to the time keeper, MPP got another one to tie it up. On to the second. Kreg Labelle stoked the fire and got the lead. Goddess tied it up with Scott Reilly on the goal. Jeez Louise. Then Rob got another regaining the lead. Are you following this? Defense is for suckers. And spoiler, the last goal for Goddess and the last lead. Shannon Reilly getting on the board. Then the goal of the night, Andy Meegan, Top Cheddar. Igniting the pizza to get the next 2, Kreg late in the second. Mike Thomas with the gwg in the third. That will do it. 7-6 Manville wins.
Had the privilege to play for Edge Doctor with my partner in crime Mark O'Connor. The Irish Car bombs were in tact for the blue. It didn't take long, Shawn Smith getting the goal set up by yours truly and Marc O'Connor. Later in the first, Kenny Beck popped in the rebound from Smith. In the Second Adam Babikian with a direct outside angle goal, a beauty would stretch the lead. Quick Dam would get on the board with a ricochet shot, credited to Andy Laird. The next goal was late but deserved by Cory Landi set up by Kenny Beck and Adam. In the third, deja vu on the inside angle short side for Adam Babikian to complete the scoring. Edge Doctor 5-1 over the dam.
No games next week. Apparently we get to get fat and happy and enjoy our families! Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for all of you!
See you next time.
