(2)Knights vs Fat Cats(9)

J.Mancini lights up Knights with first period hat trick

A four goal first period by the Fat Cats took the Knights off their game on Wednesday night. The craziness started with J.Mancini bagging three quick markers before the period ended. Things did eventually settle down by the second but only got worse for the Knights in the third. By then, D.Mili went on to duplicate Mancini's offensive output with a hat trick of his own. The Fat Cats finished the way they started and had absolutely no issues getting the easy points. As for the Knights, like it's been the case in previous seasons, S.Sauk will need to figure out ways in order to compete with such clubs. The good news is that there is plenty of time to address areas of concern.

(3)Underdogs vs Kentucky Blue(2)

A.Zarzour, difference in slight edge over Kentucky Blue

Getting better with age isn't only used to describe wine and whiskey, it applies also to established players like A.Zarzour. The veteran had a hand in all three goals for the Underdogs,that included two that found its way behind N.Fragos. For two straight periods, the Kentucky Blue couldn't get anything by C.Malkoun. And even though they took charge riffling a pair in the final fifteen minutes of play, it just wasn't enough in the end. The Underdogs stuck to their game plan making things extremely difficult for their opponent. G.DeLuca and B.Travisano were the only two players to figure out Malkoun.

(3)Carnage vs Mighty Drunks(4) S.O

Y.Dube helps Mighty Drunks slip passed Carnage

A good start wasn't enough for the Mighty Drunks to take this contest in regulation. Carnage fell behind 2-0, and eventually grabbed the lead when C.Kalogeropoulos scored by the five minute mark of the third period. And as bad as that sequence was for the Mighty Drunks, M.Mogianesi restored some confidence to even the score only minutes later. Neither side was able to get it done with seven minute remaining along with a five minute sudden death period. In the end, it took a three man shootout to decide it. Out of the six combined players attempting to be the hero, only Y.Dube got it right. The Mighty Drunks forward came in with a hard wrist shot that just got by A.DeLuca. The win was attributed to other factors as well. O.Caillet being one of them as the net minder held his own denying three breakaway attempts. All three of the Mighty Drunks goals all came-from their defensemen while M.Pace was Carnage's best player striking twice.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Andre Zarzour of the Underdogs. In low scoring game that was so close, A.Zarzour made all three goals count by scoring twice while adding an assist.
