Wednesday April 5 (Round 1 playoffs)
(3)Fat Roy vs Dragons(6)
Dragons continue their hot streak into playoffs
From nearly seeing their season come to a halt, the Dragons have now strung four straight wins with their double up victory vs Fat Roy. Whatever is being said seems to be resonating with the Dragons as everyone is contributing in their own way. Tonight, it took six different goal scorers and a solid goaltending performance by P.Assadi to get the job done. The Dragons won every period getting a shorthanded goal by E.Gabrielli to set the tone for the match. The only thing that they couldn’t do right was to stop N.Gikas, who was unstoppable providing all three goals in the loss. But in the end, the Dragons didn’t care as they are glad to keep surprising everyone in the D Wednesday division.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Pedram Assadi of the Dragons. The goaltender won every frame making close to 30 saves to help advance his club to the semi finals.
The next round will feature four clubs battling it out in a best of three semi finals. The match ups are as follows:
(1)Punishers vs Dragons(5) While the Punishers are heavily favorite to take this one with a younger talented group, the Dragons won’t be a push over with the amount of experience they have while riding a four game winning streak.
(2)Trappers vs Armadillos(3) It will come done to discipline. Both sides need to make it a point to stay out of the penalty box and focus on getting it done on the court. Scoring won’t be easy as both sides have the goaltending and the defense structure to keep the scoring low.
