Kings remain hot in double rout of Big Timer

Two strong starts gave the Kings all the room they needed to close out a pair of wins and continue on their winning ways. A.Olewinskiy and D.Lomabradi each scored twice, and A.Pietracupa was nearly perfect allowing only C.Nitu to get the better of him. The Kings looked like they were on their way to winning in an identical fashion in their second encounter, but it didn’t quite turn out that way. The Big Timer never threw in the towel as they kept battling back to stay within a reasonable margin. A.Fonrose set up three goals while C.Nitu and S.St-Louis potted a pair for the Big Timer, who finally found a way to generate some high end scoring chances. Unfortunately, they just couldn’t match a team that was able to continue their onslaught throughout four entire periods. G.DeLuca did lead the charge with a hat trick while P.Stroubakis was right behind him bagging a pair.

Degenerates escape slump on crazy finish with Snipers

Maybe the Degenerates just needed some time to get their act together as they looked much better on Monday night compared to their last couple of weeks. It didn’t come easy, but it came never the less. The Snipers thought they had forced a shootout when their captain A.Khanafer scored a late power play goal with only ten seconds left on the clock. That was until a quick play led to A.Desrosiers beating the clock with only 4 seconds giving the Degenerates a crazy ending to a bad sequence. Its always nice to win a game and end a streak ,and its another to build off it. To their credit,  the Degenerates went for it for a second straight time knowing that it was going to be just as difficult. They did manage a better start building a 3-1 lead,  but had to deal with the Snipers responding on two occasions that levelled the game. Luckily enough, the Degenerates found themselves on a power play toward the latter stages of the game. S.Marricco was right there on the door steps to tap in a rebound to put his club back in front. The power forward would then add another to complete his hat trick right before J.Melo bagged his third of the night feeding an empty cage to solidify two nice wins.

J.Courteau hat trick sets trend for a pair of wins for Assadi Consulting Inc

J.Courteau broke out for the Assadi Consulting Inc riffling all three goals that just held up for a close 3-2 decision over the Altius. Perhaps his big moment came late in the game when the Assadi Consulting Inc found themselves on the power play where Courteau smelled his third one coming with the man advantage. The win set the trend for more to come for the Assadi Consulting. Again, J.Courteau was there making the difference by snapping a late first period tie to put his club up 3-2.The Altius did respond right away courtesy of P.Arkalis’s power play goal. As much as they kept this one close, the Altius were playing with fire having only one player to change with. Eventually, fatigue caught up to them when Y.Gazura buried is second fairly late in the contest for a 4-3 lead.-From there, D.Desmarais would add insurance, and the Assadi Consulting Inc made sure to take advantage of a situation that was there for the taking.

Horsemen explodes in second match after being shutout to Country Club

The Horsemen’s offense came alive right after they went empty handed in a 3-0 loss to the Country Club. M.Dupuis was superb controlling the game the best he could resulting in an impressive shutout. The Country Club needed only S.Beaudin’s goal to hold up, but got some insurance thanks to C.Payette and J-S Lowe increasing the lead. There was no doubt the Horsemen needed some sort of a spark if they planned on splitting their mini series with their opponent. And who other than your captain to set the example. It took only 6 seconds into the second encounter for V.Pandza to finally get the ball rolling for the Horsemen. Sometimes it takes only a slight spark to turn into wild fire. In the first six minutes alone, the Horsemen struck five times to grab immediate control of the situation. Five different players scored before B.Rubino chipped in for his second while M.Kardum was able to add two more for a hat trick. Even if the score indicates a lopsided affair, C.Stavriadis had to be really good for the amount of chances the Country Club generated.
