The 3rd Week in and it already feels like Summah.
Let us spring into spring and summer into summer. Summer into summer, what the heck does summer into summer mean? I mean really? This is how you start an article. Yes, this is how I start an Article.
You know what I like, I like Hockey. And honestly, the games were stellar last night. In the first game, a nail biter. Manville Pizza would come out against Votta Properties. In the first, about 4 minutes into the game, ok 4:02, to be specific, Manville Pizza's very own Ryan Degnan popped the cork. And if Dan Dussault would give me his roster numbers, I could give credit where credit is due. I just happen to know number 6 on MPP is Ryan Degnan. I cannot go up to Dan and ask for his digits. That would be weird. Any who. The next goal would be MPP again and you guessed it Ryan Degnan. Believe it or not, that was it. A good day for both Goalies. Frank Zabatta with the shut out and Mike Dussault only giving up 2. Pretty good game. Manville Pizza wins 2-0.
In Game 2. Final Touch and Quick Dam. Spoiler, this was a game. In the first 13 seconds, Shannon Caverly started the scoring. Just whipped the puck into the net. Was a beauty. In seconds, orange was on their heels. 4 minutes later, Final Touch would strike again. A two on one, yep me, would result in Eric Campbell, would bury the biscuit. A perfect pass from Domenic Savastano. And guess what, Final Touch with 2 minutes left in the first would make it 3 unanswered. This time it would be Andrew Laird from Shannon. Son of b looked me right in the eye and put it in the net. In the second, Quick Dam stopped the bleeding. Or did they, another hemorrhage began. 2 goals in one shift by Final Touch, Domenic would get the goal of his own. Then another goal, this from Derrick Antunes. But wait there is more. Still in the second, Quick Dam got on the move. Mark Kosinski got put one past from Rick Mercuri's keep in. In the third, Johnathan Murphy got the motor running. Murphy would get 2 goals to make it interesting. My Boo, Raphael would game the game tying goal. And with less than 2 minutes to go, Murphy would complete his hat trick with the game winning goal. 6-5 Quick Dam. What a game.
Late Game everyone. Here we are. Vescera Law v. Green Goddess. You know I heard the story about how Green Goddess got its name. (is this going to be a long story Matt? ) yeah, so sit down and listen. Apparently, back when pot was not so legal, or legal at all, Eric Robichaud had a friend who used Green Goddess as a code word for burning the hippy lettuce. Turns out, that dude owns a certain company that rents jet skis in Clearwater Florida. Turns out, it was the same place we rented jet skis last weekend. Had we known..... you do the math. In any event. Next time. And now back to the hockey (in your head, think Casey Kasem's voice). Here we go, Tyler Anderson would start the scoring for Vescera Law. In the second, Goddess's Dan Fraser would put the pill in the bottle. Goddess would get another. Vescera would get on the board to tie it up. Again Mr. Anderson. (Matrix). And another to complete the Hatty. Late, Shane McShane Shane McCormick would get involved. Making this a 4-2 game. Billy Billy Billy would hurt his shoulder, hope you are ok bud. The third belonged to Goddess. Garret and Gary would (Reilly and Ouilette) would get a goal each to tie this one up and stay that way. 4-4 (but who won Matt?) the fans readers, the fans.
Ok folks, hope you all have a wonderful week. Also, a very Happy Easter. Now sometimes the question comes up, what do eggs have to do with Easter. Let me tell you. In order to keep eggs from going bad during the lent fasting, people would boil them. Once lent was done, they would finally be able to eat eggs again. They used it as a celebration. King Edward the 1st would have the eggs painted or leafed in gold and distributed to his entourage to celebrate Easter. So there you have it.
We will see you next week.
Live, Breathe, Love..................................HOCKEY!!!!
And it begins. Welcome new comers and summer specialists
We have quite a few new players this season. The league would like to welcome you! Thank you for playing. Our family of hockey players are the finest in the world. You will soon find out what a great bunch these folks are.
Let's get into the games. Unfortunately, I don't have all the numbers yet. So, this will be short.
I can tell you this, Edge Doctor started the game quick with a goal by the Captain Adam Babikian. He was the recipient of a rebound from Kole Sisson. Kole is a new guy in the league. The lead would be short lived as Andy Morrison, subbing in for Quick Dam tied the game, with My BOO, Ralph Espilat would set him up. Ralph has taken on the Quick Dam reins. Thanks Ralph. At the end of the first, Kevin Webster is back in the saddle of Friday nights and made his presence known with a goal, set up by Nick Miranda and another new player Kaylee O'Conner. In the second, Andy would get another goal and tie up the game. 20 seconds later, Sisson would get one and regain the lead for the Edge. And then came the third, which was all Quick Dam. Not sure who scored, just know Nick Nardone got the last one. All set 5-3. Quick Dam wins.
Game 2. Votta vs. Vescera. Lots of V's. Votta got on the board first. Literally, Ricky Votta started the scoring. Late in the period Vescera got the tie, set up by Bill Vescera. In the second, midway through, the Purple got the lead again. Late in the period, Vescera would tie it up. I am going to say it was Shane. In the third. Vescera would take the lead 3-2. And another one, soon after to stretch the lead 4-2. Votta would get one back, making it 4-3. And that is where it ended. 4-3 win for Vescera.
Game 3. Final Touch, Welcome back Shannon Caverly! vs. Green Goddess, The new captain, Scott Reilly taking on that task. Thank you Scott. In the first Goddess got on the board. The second period was where the scoring flurry came. That sounds dirty. Did the flurry come? Or just breathing heavy? I digress. Final Touch would get one early to tie it up. Minutes later Goddess would get the go ahead. Late in the second Final Touch would score twice and seal the game right there. 3-2 win for Final Touch.
I also want to say the Refs we patched together last night were terrific. Larry Lefebvre and Pete Meegan, sharing the duties. And we welcomed Brady McCloud to the Friday night experience. Did a great job young man.
Tonight Wicked Rhode had to cancel due to sickness. Sorry folks. Loose Screws is playing tonight in Fairhaven at the Bayside Lounge at 9. So much talent in the hockey league.
In any case, the Shit Shooters and All Pucked Up are headed to Clearwater, FL next week. Lots of Friday night players will be out next week. If you are available and reading this article. Reach out as a sub. LOL.
Have a great week everyone.
