How's the weather? Eff YOU!
I'll make the short. Don't want to rub salt in the wound of some. I'll leave that for the DOT to use for the roads. All three games were pretty one sided.
The first was a 5-1, never in doubt game, according to sources. Votta Properties over took Edge Doctor. The first ended in a 1-1 tie, with Peter Meegan starting the scoring for the purple. Edge answered quickly with a goal by an assist by Adam Babikian. In the second a goal by Steve Albertelli on a break. Then Ricky Votta, big sexy, made it 3-1. In the third it was Albertelli and Derek Franco to round out the scoring.
In the second game, 5-0 Vescera over Green Goddess. The usual suspects for Vescera got on the board early and often. 3 goals in the first. Shane McCormick, Neil Yee and Gary Ouilette. In the third two more one by Neil Yee and one by Shane. And that would do it. Sorry the reporting is dry. But, that is what you get.
In the late game, The Tendy won this one for Final Touch. Some epic saves. The scoreboard reflected that. 2 goals in the first for the touch. One by Scott Webber, Marc O'Conner and Brian Cormier. This line is really gelling. Next was a late goal by Ben Hevner. In the second, Another by Hevner and Webber/O'Conner. You be the judge. Finally Quick Dam got a goal by Andrew Laird. The answer a shift later by Hevner to complete the Hatty. In the third, Eric 'Captain Couch' Campbell took this out of reach half a minute in to the late period. Another goal by Quick Dam, I think it was Ricky Votta filling in, to make it respectable. One more goal By Hevner late to make it 7-2 win by Final Touch.
5 Regular season games left. Make sure you are square with the league. Also, they are taking down payments for the summah league. Lets get on the roster for the warm season.
Last but certainly not least. The Underground, with Me (Matt Connell) and Eric Robichaud, are at Stevie D's on Monroe street in Riverside (East Providence) band goes on at 8:30. Come party with us.
Have a great week everyone:
Live, Breathe, Love..............................HOCKEY!!!!
Skipped last week. This is going to be great! Hi Garret!
It's the end of the world as we know it!. Snow-MA-Ggeddon is coming! I have been waiting since the 70's for global warming. This is bullshit.
Here we are in game one. Green Goddess of the Goddess family and Quick Dam of the Dam family went at it. Goddess got on the board quickly. 30 seconds in as a matter of fact. The Reilly family, wait, more family? Yes, Shannon Reilly got it to Garret Reilly for the opening goal. And Scott Daddy Reilly was soooooo proud. Awe. It was midway through the second when the Green made it 2 goals. This time, Rob Edelman got on the board. Poor guy broke his stick just prior to that. Quick Dam finally got on the board. Jay Arruda with the set up. Now the next goal was awarded to the rock star, Eric Robichaud. That said, I think it was Rob Edelman scored it. Yet, I will let the stats guy have this one. Quick Dam would make a 1 goal game early in the third. Jarred Martin from the top of the key making it a game. Garret would get another one right after from Raf Manzo. Quick Dam would get another by Glen Medeiros (getting tired before his actual game). And then it was another two empty netters for Goddess to complete the win. 6-3.
Final Touch and Manville Pizza had game 2 of the night. Manville got on the board early with a goal by Kreg Labelle, with Mike Thomas on the helper. Another number 5 got the tying goal, Brian Cormier from Marc O'Conner and Scott Webber. This line is really gelling this year. They also got the next goal. Webber would get the next one with help from Cormier. In the second, Kole Sisson stretched the lead, early on in the period. How about Cormier on his way to a hatty. Spoiler, getting the next one making it 4-1. In the third Kreg Labelle would cut the lead in half with a goal and Thomas with the apple. Thomas would make it 3 and cut the lead some more. Brian Cormier completed the hat trick to get the 2 goal lead back for Final Touch. Kole would score his second for the Touch and the eventual game winner. A couple of goals for Captain Couch, Eric Campbell. And MPP did manage two late goals. One by Keith Kraunelis and the other by Thomas. But not enough. Final Touch skated away with the win 8-5.
And the one game that was a fight for the top. Edge Doctor and Vescera Law went at it for league supremacy. Edge Doctor got on the board early. Shawn smith got the blue on the board. It would not be until mid 2 before Shane, McShane, Shane McCormick got his team a goal to tie it up. Vescera took the lead, Brian McDonald on the tilt. In the third, Vescera stretched the lead with a goal by Neil Yee. Edge Doctor would not go down quietly. Adam Babikian cut the lead and made it 3-2. Late in the game/period, Bobby Jordan would tie it up. That is where we left it. 3-3.
So, guess what happened. Nothing. We are all in the same spot we were last week in the standings. Hmm. If the season ended today. Edge Doc would get the bye, Vescera would play Manville, Final Touch would play Quick Dam and Votta Properties would play Quick Dam. What is your money on? I think this is a pretty even season team for team. Don't let the standings fool you. I think that Final Touch Team is special, I might be bias.
Hope you all have a great week. I was going to write "y'all", but this is not Alabama. If you feel like you want to be entertained this evening, before we cannot go anywhere for a while, there are two exciting places to go. One would be New Bedford, to see Richie Dias and Loose Screws perform on stage. Ryan's Sports Pub starting at 7. In Rhode Island, The Underground, featuring yours truly and Eric Robichaud. We will be at Hills Tavern on 44 in Chapechet 8:00 pm maybe 8:30. Not sure, I'll be there early. Also, this just in Wicked Rhode, Featuring Mike Dussault, is performing at the other end of 44 in Johnston at Escada Bar. So, many options! We need your support. Hope to see some of you out tonight. Garret, are you listening?
Anyway, hope all of you make it through the storm unscathed.
Live, Breathe, LOVE................................HOCKEY!!
