YES, The Playoffs are here and this is our first installment. Some really great games. 

Some hero's in the games. Bill Babikian from his toes to the roof, banged one home to put the exclamation on his game. We will get into that. And let us not forget Mike Baro and his shutout. 

Let's start with Final Touch versus Manville Palace Pizza. This was a tilt towards one side. In the first Ben Mello, the OG Ben got on the board. Shannon Caverly and Ben Hevner on the assists. Also in the first, Brian Cormier banged in the loose change from Marc O'Conner. Early in the second O'Conner got one of his own, set up by that cool guy Matt Connell. WHO ME?! So, Next, Ben Hevner got a goal, we still cannot describe. It was great. Ben H would go onto score 3 more for a hatty plus one. O'Conner would get another one along with Ben Mello. Final score, Final Touch 9-0. 

Game 2. Edge Doctor versus Quick Dam. Edge Doctor wants to keep the dynasty going. In the first, they scored early. Richie Dias with the goal. A rock star and a hockey star. Quick Dam, Matched the goal late in the first. Andrew Laird with the goal. Unfortunately, that would be all Quick Dam could muster. 2 goals in the second. One we discussed, but let's just say Bill Babikian roofed his and really ended all hope for the other team. Corey Landi would put the last goal in to make it 4-1 Edge Doctor.

In the final game of the evening and the most exciting, this came down to a shootout. Spoiler. LOL. too late, everyone knows, shut up. Green Goddess versus Votta Properties. In the first Goddess got on the board first, Iggy Gozman bringing the pizza and the scoring. Oh we will talk about him at the end. But thank you Iggy. A shift later and Votta tied it up. Derek Franco on the goal. In the second. Deja Vu all over again. Same thing, different goal scorers. This time Shannon Reilly brought the heat and the goal. And a few shifts later, Votta would tie it up. See deja vu. This time Kole Sisson getting on the board. Kole, I am proud of you buddy. Not disappointed. Kole got 3 points last night. In the third, Votta would get the first goal. this time, Kole set this one up. This time, Goddess fought back and got the tying goal. Little Robbie Edleman getting the job done. That was it. A fourth period. Nothing happened. Great job by both goalies. BTW 6 penalties in this one. Jeez louise. So onto the shoot out. Instead of going over all of them, I will say both scores by Goddess were beauties. Garret Reilly with a traditional inside out move to put it home. While Rob Edleman lulled the whole place and the goalie to sleep. Slowest goal ever, but effective. 5-3. Goddess. 

What a night. We will do this again tonight. BTW Goddess, this is a beer league. Bring beer. What the hell. 

Secondly, Thank YOU Iggy Gozman for the pizza last night. We will be happy to pass the word on your new venture. Although, no one wants to think about it, it is needed. Anyway, Iggy has a pet crematorium business. If you have the need, and we hope you don't, please go to https://www.FullCircleWaterCremation.com 

Tonight, we have Vescera Law vs. Green Goddess at 8 and Final Touch vs. Edge Doctor at 9:10.

Hope those who can come to root us on do so. It should be wild. 

Until then, 

Live, Breathe, Love.................................HOCKEY!!!
