Thursday November 26 (Round 1, E2 playoffs)

(5)SBS Trashers vs Magic Bullets(4)

With both teams laying it on the line, the Magic Bullets needed more than a 2-0 first period lead to get by the SBS Trashers. Slowly but surely, the trailing squad mounted their comeback posting three second period unanswered goals. J.Guerriero used a late second period power play marker to give his club their first lead of the night. Despite equalizing the score twice by the third period, the Magic Bullets couldn’t get that much needed tally to regain control of the match. After scoring once along with an assist, P.Nadeau set up the winner by no other than his captain E.Panzera. J.Scalia had a strong game bagging two tallies and a helper to help send his club to the next round.

(3)Carnage vs Seals(1)

Far from being a walk in the park, Carnage needed nearly all 45 minutes to just get by the Seals. Each side remained leveled at one goal for most of the night until a third period breakout enabled Carnage to escape with the win. J.DiMarco cracked the barrier by the 2:45 minute mark of the third period giving Carnage their first lead of the game. With only six minutes left to go, S.Giannoulakis eased the tension knowing that his club would be fine with a two goal cushion. The Seals didn’t have a great year but showed plenty when the time counted with a hard fought battle. B.Verducci needed to be good and he was allowing only one goal courtesy of J.Trepanier.

(4)Eagles vs Street Ballers(5)

S.Marashlian had an impressive night as his three goals were just enough to get by the Eagles. Familiar with finding the back of the net like he’s often done, the Street Ballers forward notched two very late second period goals and carried a two goal cushion for nearly the rest of the match. The Eagles had a good start to the game up 2-1 after one period but dropped the ball by the second losing the frame handily 4-1.Each side entered the post season separated by only two points which can have only suggested a close battle. The Street Ballers showed plenty in last season’s playoffs by reaching the finals and will hope to continue their playoff run after a good start to the post season.

With Deadlast securing first place and an automatic spot to the semi finals, the front runners will look to take on the Street Ballers while Carnage faces the SBS Trashers in their best of three series.

(0)Scorpions vs Les Coqs(5) E1 regular season

It took half the match before Les Coqs decided to open it up. Once the scoring started, the Scorpions struggled to contain the outburst of goals. Just like their opponents, Les Coqs played with a very short bench but managed to score anyway. Five different players found the back of the net that saw M.Turgeon finish with three points. Unhappy with his recent overall performance between the pipes, G.Platanitis will look forward to the post season after recording a 29 save shutout.

The E1 division semi finals will feature the Werewolves taking on the Scorpions. The other match up has the Chiefs facing off against Les Coqs who will look to eliminate the defending champions.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Sarkis Marashlian of the Street Ballers. The natural goal score came through with three goals in a close 5-4 win over the Eagles.
