Last game of the Year and what a long one it was.

March 16, 2024

Is everyone just sitting there and waiting for the standings to come out. Did you know nothing changed, everyone is in the same position as last week. Yep, everyone tied. What the heck is that all about. 

In game one: 3-3 tie. Vescera Law vs. Final Touch. Vescera got the lead in the first 2-1. Steve Lombardi and Chad Labaste with goals for Vescera and Derek Anderson with a goal for Final Touch. In the second the tables were turned. Final Touch won the period with 2-1, 2 by Bob Killah Watts. Love that rapper handle. Yeah, so tied 3-3. But wait, the third was won by the goalies. Mike Baro for Final Touch and Mark Clarkin. On the Final Touch side, #2 on the goal, whoever that was. On the Shane McCormick for Vescera. Next week, I believe they will play each other. So, this was a preview. 

This next game was a roller coaster. Votta and Edge. 6-6 game. Lets just say, if Edge could have stopped Kreg Labelle, they would have won. Kreg had 4 goals and an assist. The other two goals were from Mark Kosinski, filling in for my man Ray. On the Edge side, the goals were spread out. Nick Nardone got the party started. Adam 'my captain' Babikian with a couple. Nick Miranda with one. And a couple by Ben Hevner. You Know what the nice thing about coming in last, you play the 8:20 on the first game of the playoffs. Get ready for Goddess, Edge Doctor. Votta will be facing Quick Dam. 

Speaking of Quick Dam and Green Goddess. They tied too. 3-3. On the Quick Dam side, a goal a period. Neil Yee and Jim Meegan with 2 of the goals. Don't know who got the other. On the Goddess side, Shannon Reilly with 2 and Steve Owens with the other. Oh and Shannon got an assist as well. Good Job. 

So, the way I see it, Manville Pizza has the bye for the first game of the playoffs. Edge Doctor will Play Green Goddess at 8:20. Quick Dam will face Votta Properties at 9:30 and Final Touch will go at it Versus Vescera Law. Good luck to all. 

Hey if you want to party and celebrate the Irish, like myself, Come to Badgers Pub tonight. 8:30 start of Wicked Rhode.

Winding down and losing an hour

March 9, 2024

Happy Saturday in March. March comes in like a Lion and Out like a Lamb. Or so they say. St. Patricks day is right around the corner. The clocks get set ahead one hour. Losing time babies. Also, ides of March. That was the day they murdered Ceaser on the senate floor. 'Et Tu Brute'.

Let's get into the action. 

Edge Doctor versus Vescera Law. Despite their efforts in a hard fought game, Edge could not get the edge or a goal. Mark Clarkin with the shutout. Vescera's vaunted talent, Steve Lombardi would light this fire cracker, getting a third shift goal, with the help of Shane McCormick and Rob Edelman. Late and I mean late in the first, Shane would hook up Steve again and make it 2-0. In the second, Lombardi would complete the sombrero with his third and it was from Shane and the B/D player to be named later. In the third, Shane would be rewarded for his unselfishness and got on the board with Edelman. And that is all she wrote. 4-0 Vescera Law. 

In game 2 Manville Pizza up against Final Touch. This is for the Presidents Trophy. Spoiler: Pizza Clinched It. Great game though. You should of seen it. I didn't see much of it, just the end. It was cool. Yeah. In the first Final Touch had the lead 2-1. Glen Marshall with a couple. One set up by Shannon Caverly. The other was a loaner. On the Pizza side, Ryan Degnan from Mark Kosinski, yep ole white gloves, got the Pizza rising. Bobby Jordan setting it up as well with a little hockey 101. In the second, the evil empire would get 2. One from white gloves and one from whomever was wearing Keith's old jersey. Jack Babineau with the set up along with Degnan. In the third, Dan Dussault, the captain, putting the team on his back and making a game winner and a season clincher. Late in the period, Final Touch would get a goal and then ruin any chance for a tying one. You know what happened right? They got a penalty. Bummer eh. In the end it was MPP with the 4-3 win. 

In the late game, Votta Properties versus Quick Dam. Quick Dam has come into their own in the past few weeks. As a matter of fact, they are on a 5 game win streak. Watch these folks in the playoffs, they are the upstarts. In the first, Votta was in the drivers seat with 2 goals. Richie Dias and Steve Donavan with the goals. Ole Yella socks Ray got the assist on Richie's goal. Richie going back door. Oh Behave. Donavan with the lollipop. In the second, Quick Dam made quick work of tying the game. One from Derek Antunes and one from Richie LaPlante. Both almost repeated. Tunes was a bit frustrated. Heard his stick cracking the boards on the second goal attempt. In the third, it was Quick Dam with 2 goals, one from Neil Yee and the clincher from Larry Lefebvre. Larry took me to task on my lack of reporting last week. Probably wanted to see his name in print. Here you go. Less weak this week. In the end it was Quick Dam 4-2. 

Standings tell it all. Looks like we have a clincher for first and second. Manville and Goddess. Votta is likely to be in third, but Vescera Law could jump over Votta with a win over Final Touch. If final Touch wins, they will have the tie breaker for fourth. Vescera will be ranked in 5th and Quick Dam gets 6th. If Final Touch Loses and Quick Dam wins, Quick Dam gets Fifth and Final Touch gets Sixth. Check the math, but I am quite sure Edge Doctor clinches 7th. And also, the other math, I might be wrong. I am sure Junior and Peter will help me with this. 

If you are interested in playing this summer, please give a deposit of $150 to Jim Gallagher. The cost for the season is $400. Goalies $275. 

I want to personally thank Ben Dussault for filling in for GrandPa Senior Mike. Great Job on the clock and the score sheets. Swear count and No No Word counts were up this week. Hand writing has gotten way better. I don't have to guess. Thanks BEN!!! 

IN OTHER NEWS. Apparently, they enforcing the alcohol policy on the Saturday playoff night March 23rd. No alcohol in the rink or parking lot. What everloving shit is that. 

Loose Screws, Featuring Richie Dias is at Ying Dynasty Tonight. 8PM. If you haven't heard the angelic vocals of our long haired hippy goal scorer, you are missing out. 

Hope everyone has a great week.
