National, explosive in rout of Sonic

(12)National vs Sonic(2)

It was just one of those nights for Sonic. Nothing went right-from the get go with National in complete control of the game. For a rare time this season, National boosted their line up and it showed by the amount of time they held on to the ball. They led 6-1 after two periods and matched their goal total in the third to put the game away on the ten goal mercy rule. Many players contributed offensively with the captain M.Pinheiro scoring the most for a hat trick. The Sonic got both their goals by A. Amicone, who was the only player to have D.Massa’s number.

Chiefs terrific shutdown effort gives little room to Brewers

(1)Brewers vs Chiefs(6)

The Chiefs have been really turning up their game as of late. By using their complete bench, the Chiefs were always that one step ahead of the Brewers. They did fall behind early but bounced back immediately netting the next six goals of the game. E.Gabrielli and M.Chenier each scored twice and S.Morante went perfect after giving up his lone tally early on. Its never pleasant playing catch up against a team like the Chiefs. The Brewers felt it trying to claw there way back only to fall in a deeper hole. After building a 6-1 lead heading into the third period, the Chiefs went into shutdown mode using the clock comfortably to their advantage.

National finish strong, collect 2 wins for first place

(5)National vs Armos(4)

National clicked all game, but weren’t able to capitalise enough times in the first two frames. The Armos knew they had to keep it simple as they were out numbered with a shorter bench. And while things appeared to be fine on the large part for the Armos, it was National that showcased itself in the third riding three big goals. Rubens Morne used back to back tallies right before S.Desbiens snapped the tie with six minutes left in the game. Unable to find their legs, the Armos couldn’t push the pace enough in order to bounce back. D.Massa was able to collect his second win of the night after facing 26 shots. This came as a big result and productive night for National as they finally sit atop of the standings.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes Rubens Morne of National . After collecting 6 points in his earlier game, R.Morne was a force in his second match accumulating another four big points that helped secure a close 5-4 win over the Armos.
