"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice," - Martin Luther King Jr.

I don't know, just thought it being MLK weekend, I would let his voice ring out. 

Back to the regularly scheduled program, already in progress. 

First game was a ballerina dress. Two Two. Final Touch had the first goal that lasted until the third period. Garret Reilly does it again, with Brian Beck on the assist. In the third, MPP yeah you know me, got on the board to tie it up. Gotta love Ryan Degnan with Kyle Beck sticking it to dad and Mark Kosinski assisting. Drop the puck and Final Touch takes the lead again. A shift later, My boy Dan Scooter Fraser got the tying goal. And that would do it. 2 2 tie. 

Middle game, the ice was so bad, it's mascara was running. The blue line looked like a makeup gone wrong for an 80's glam band. Quick Dam and Votta Properties. In the first Quick Dam got on the board first with Mike Thomas getting the goal. Chad the Assist Man Labaste on the helper. Votta would get the next goal New Guy on the goal with Dubs get the assist. Quick Dam would get a break away, set up by me, just saying, Shawn Smith with the finish. Early in the second, JW Preston, better know has W or DUBS, got on the board to tie the game. And then, Late in the second Votta Props got over the tie sum a na beach. Sorry, I was playing for Shawn. Any who. In the third, Quick Dam got it all tied up again. Shawn Smith from Ed Cardoso, damn good pass. Votta would strike back, taking the lead once again. Raf Manzo on the goal, Dubs setting it up again, a goal and 2 assists for JW. Later in the period, Quick Dam clawed and scratched out another goal. Sean Forrant from Shawn Smith. That would do it for the scoring. This game was a 4-4 tie. 

Late game high jinx. I bet your thinking. No one uses that phrase anymore. You are welcome. This was a more high falutin affair. And the only game with an actual winner. Vescera and I mean Bill, got the team on the board first. Late in the first. Followed by a shift later Goddess getting on the board. Well not Goddess, Brian Cormier isn't a goddess. But he did score for Green Goddess. But wait, the First aint over yet. Someone wearing 0 got a goal with 15 seconds on the clock. In the second, You know who scored 3 goals for Vescera Law, Rob Edelman. Love that guy. See his hair lately. Sexy mo fo. He can even throw hands. Which lets not do that. So, 2 goals in the second and one in the third for Rob's Hat trick. So not all three in the second. but I digress. Vescera would be up 4-3 at the end of the second. On the Green Goddess side. Two goals by Greg Briely would keep them in the race. In the third, as I said, Rob got one early for Vescera along with another unknown getting the early second. Yet, Nick Nardone was like shut your mouth and scored 2 in a row, within 30 seconds. That said, it was not enough. They could have used 2 more. Final Score, 6-5 Vescera Law. 

Ok, so that is it. Hope everyone enjoyed the ride. Please exit to the left and watch your step.

Hi, welcome to the Matty Chronicles. When you are here you are family. 

First game was a tie. Do you like that I tell you the outcome at the beginning of the piece? Or, should I save it for the end? I really don't know myself, but this being a 44 magnum, the most powerful hand gun in the world, you got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well, do you punk. I digress. So, yeah, apparently Vescera Law was up by 3 goals for the better part of the first period. Rob Edleman, Greg Landry and Shane McCormick with the first period action. Yet, with less than a minute left, Neil Yee, got on the board for the evil empire, Manville Pizza. In the second, Yee would set the table and cut Vescera's lead down further. Not to be outdone, Vescera stretched the lead to 4-2, Scott Reilly showing his kids how you do it. In the third, Manville Pizza took the wheel. Dan Fraser got a goal to impress his girl in the warm room. She was so happy. Hard to tell, but she said she was 'thrilled' kind of sarcastically. Then, Yee would round out his Hat Trick. Tying the game. Mark Kosinski, got the go ahead goal and Vesera Law was now facing the losing end of the game. Do not be afraid, Edleman is with you. Little Robbie with the late goal to secure the tie 5-5. 

So, this game was wild and wooly. Quick Dam and Green Goddess. A couple of upstart hockey teams if there ever was. Should I spoil it? Yes, I think I will. Quick Dam won. Broke the tie late in the third. When I say late, I mean 12 seconds left on the clock. Whoa. Lets talk about it. So, the game was Quick Dam versus Ben Mello in the first. Ben got one in a mail slot, then and over the shoulder boulder holder shot, then a magic bullet that slid just enough to catch the corner of the inside post and swim around the net. Much to the chagrin of Mark Schaivone. Nice Natty Hatty for Ben Mello. Now, Quick Dam did sneak in a goal in between goals one and 2. Mike Thomas getting on the board. In the second, Quick Dam would tie the game with a goal from Shawn Smith and Marc O'Conner. That sounds like the Irish Mafia. And in the end, Shawn Smith would literally win the game with 12 seconds on the clock. 4-3. 

And well Ugh. The 10:20 game. Started at 10:34. The goalies were fantastic in this Game. Tommy Martins for Edge Doctor and Mike Dussault, Jr. for Votta Properties. for 2 Periods, Edge hung with the kids on Votta, It was 4-3 at the end of the second. Edge Doctor mixed it up with a goals by Derek Antunes, Arron Crossett and Adam Babikian. Basically Ben Hevner scored 4 goals and Garret Reilly got one. Plus there was an empty netter. So 6-3 Votta wins. Can you tell my disinterest when I lose. Well, get your own article if you don't like it. 

Now, if any of this information is incorrect, I could not care less. But, you will be right and I will be wrong. So, you have that going in your life. That is something. 

Please come out and see The Underground at Hills Tavern in Chapachet tonight. 8:30 start. Lots of fun people promise to join us, from what I hear we got quite the following. 

Hope you all have a great day. See you tonight or the next time at the week.
