(3)Mighty Drunks vs Raging Rhinos(6)
Brutal second period gives no chance to Mighty Drunks
It was just another bad night for the sagging Mighty Drunks. They gave up six goals after two periods and had nothing going right. The only bright spot came by the third period where they won the frame 2-0.The Raging Rhinos simply out played them early and kept pressing making sure that they had the game under control. B.Burns and S.Pilon shared two goals apiece and B.Verducci was good when needed to be facing close to 30 shots to earn the win in net.
(4)Werewolves vs SBS Trashers(5)
P.Hodhod nets hat trick in dramatic fashion
As time was winding down in the third period, P.Hodhod's slap shot had just enough juice to beat the buzzer and L.Giannes for a thrilling victory. The Werewolves bench went completely quiet after putting out a solid effort for the entire game. It's not often defensemen collect hat tricks, but P.Hodhod is part of a unique breed of players. The complete d-man stabilizes the back end while able to be a threat on the other side of the court. In addition to his massive impact, Joseph Scalia wasn't going to be silent as he normally isn't. The sniper whaled away with a pair of tallies making him the only other SBS Trashers to score in this game.
(3)Carnage vs Legends (7)
S.Koulieris sweet hands deliver for Legends
S.Koulieris has spent his ball career scoring goals with his savvy hands and slickness. Although he may have lost some speed over the course of his long career, his play making ability along with his technique to finding the back of the net hasn't changed one bit. Tonight, he made it look easy twice while finding two teammates to finish with four points. The Legends did the smart thing by striking early several times in order to dictate the pace to their liking. With a few weapons up front, Carnage did apply some pressure and plenty of scoring chances but the damage had already been done.
(3)JLR Brossard vs Bramabulls(11)
Bramabulls goal scoring machine produces in bulk
The JLR Brossard showed that they didn't have a solution to slow down the Bramabulls. By the time the first period ended, the writing was on the wall. The Bramabulls scored two power play goals and added three even strength building enough of a cushion that would guarantee the win. Plenty of players feasted in the goal scoring department. M.Testolina led everyone by bagging three while his captain A.DiPerna, J.Palmitano, T.Karasek and B.Sansotta each had two on the defenceless net minder. Even though the Bramabulls may appear superior on paper, the JLR Brossard have plenty of quality players and should have done better early on to keep the game close.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Peter Hodhod of the SBS Trashers. The solid defenseman was the one to provide the offensive outburst with three goals that included a late dagger en route to a 5-4 win over the Werewolves.
