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.
Live, Breathe, LOVE........................HOCKEY!!
It's a gettin cold out there kids. Bundle up, it is just the beginning.
I am glad to be back behind the keyboard and on the ice. My apologies, but it has been a rockin few weeks. Although, I don't like missing hockey for gigs, it is so much fun to be on stage.
In any event, last week the big winners were Votta Properties over Manville Pizza. 4-3. Derek Franco with a couple and the game winner with under a minute left. MPP is starting to gain it's stride with a win this week. More about that later.
Edge Doctor beat Green Goddess with a 4-1 win. Although Goddess enjoyed a lead from early in the first, until halfway through the second. Edge Dr. Took over the game with 4 unanswered. A couple of goals by Adam Babikian and the final goal by PaPa Bill Babikian.
Vescera Law kept up their winning ways over Final Touch 7-3. Shane McShane Shane McCormick with a couple of goals to lead his team to victory. His team is keeping up to the task of first place since the start of the season.
This Weeks Games 11/14. Here we go.
Remember when I said, Manville Pizza is finding their stride, tonight the proved me right with a win over Quick Dam. Been a Jeckle and Hyde season for both of these teams. In this one Keith Kraunelis with a goal and 3 assists. Ryan Degnan, Mike Thomas and Kreg Labelle all getting 2 goals. ON the other side, Quick Dam had a spread the love with 4 goals by 4 different players. Manville won 7-4.
Game 2 seeing Green Goddess get on the winning track and the score board, boasting 7 over Votta Properties. Votta's IR and other factors, has a turnstile on the roster for subs this season. Goddess' hero tonight was Mark (I DONT HAVE THE WHITE GLOVES) Kosinski getting 4 goals and an assist to lead the way. Mark Schaivone was stellar in the net as well.
The Final Game of the evening and one for the rest of November for Final Touch, was a doosey. With the promise of no creamy shot this week, Final Touch got one over on Edge Doctor. Some controversy over great save, that some would argue, especially if you are Edge Doctor should have been a goal. Even the Scorekeeper felt the Edge got robbed, as it is noted on the score sheet. Don't let the refs control your fate. Suffice it to say, it was a heck of a game. Down 2 Final Touch eeked out the win with a late goal by the Irish Car Bomb Marc O'Connor to tie it up and another with 5 seconds on the ticker. 3-2 win for Final Touch.
By the way, that scoreboard buzzer is not feeling well. Jeez Louise.
Tonight, The UNDERGROUND, featuring Eric Robichaud and Matt Connell, Me, will be at Hills Tavern tonight (Saturday) 8:30 (417 Putnam Pike, Chepachet. Rt 44) Hope some of you non goaters will be coming by.
Otherwise, Have a great week!
