R.Ranieri outstanding in 26 save shutout performance
(0)RCGT Knights vs Fatal Demons(2)
R.Ranieri bailed out the Fatal Demons on a jaw dropping performance Thursday night. He made 26 saves, and the Fatal Demons scored twice in the third period to take a nail biter versus the RCGT Knights. They weren’t perhaps as sharp as they were hoping for, but sometimes that happens in a season. Luckily enough, their net minder was there when they needed him the most. It wasn’t like the Fatal Demons scored early and laid back to protect their lead. They needed to hope that the RCGT Knights couldn’t get on board which they didn’t because of Ranieri. Eventually, something was going to give, and that’s when G.Amorosa cracked the barrier early in the third period. With the next goal extremely important, E.Medrano was able to provide it for the Fatal Demons, who knew by then that this game was a wrap.
Mistakes added up for blowout loss of Horsemen vs Brew Crew
(3)Horsemen vs Brew Crew(8)
No doubt it was just a bad night for the Horsemen. They were disconnected, careless at times, and out of sync. In order to compete with the Brew Crew, you need almost every element of your game to function. The Horsemen had the body count which is always a good formula for a team to excel. Unfortunately for them, tonight was just one of those games that saw everything go wrong. But that’s not to take away-from the Brew Crew, who applied their game plan like they do on a night to night basis. They got off to the better start storming out of the gate with three first period goals. They then continued to press the action resulting in three more tallies by the second while dominating the special teams department netting two shorts handed goals. L.Verta and J.DeSua shared a pair of goals each, and B.Sansotta was highly productive accumulating four points. It just seems that its going to take a near flawless game in order to defeat the Brew Crew nowadays. And even though this was a complete dud by the Horsemen, the elements are there for a side that has a lot more to offer than what they displayed on this night.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Rino Ranieri of the Fatal Demons. Just an outstanding night for the Fatal Demons goaltender. In a game that was decided only in the third period, Ranieri never flinched allowing the Fatal Demons more than enough time to get on board first.
