(2)Mighty Drunks vs Underdogs (6)
Underdogs pair goals in every frame to down Mighty Drunks
Enough offense in every period coupled with solid defending was just what the Underdogs needed in their 6-2 win over the Mighty Drunks .Led by their captain, J.Constantin used a late first period goal to snap a 1-1 tie. The Mighty Drunks, for the longest time, gave the Underdogs a real run for their money. However, that did eventually shift towards the end of the second frame. It was by then that W.Abboud's power play marker along with M-A Haber's buzzer beater separated the two sides. The final fifteen minutes saw much of what had transpired early with the Underdogs taking the frame. The win came with an overall team effort involving six different goal scorers.
(3)Knights vs Decepticons(4)
Y.Leroux's second goal snaps tie in third, Decepticons top Knights
Y.Leroux had plenty to feel good about on Wednesday night. The skilled forward scored twice, including the tie breaking goal with less than five minutes remaining in the game to lift the Decepticons over the Knights. It was a contest that could have easily gone either way. The Knights did have the better start with the help of Y.St-Georges, who notched two first period goals for a 2-1 lead. The Decepticons took over as of the second frame where they surged twice on goals-from Leroux and M.Deninno. Still, there was plenty of hockey left over as both sides played it cautious hoping to avoid mistakes. Unfortunately for the Knights, who have been playing better hockey as of late, just fell short in the end.
(7)Carnage vs Left Wings(6)
Carnage nip Left Wings in high scoring affair
In a game featuring lots of goals, plenty penalty minutes with nonstop back and forth action, Carnage was able to emerge in the end. Even with the many aspects involved in this particular game, perhaps the most important one was the play of M.Pace. It's incredible how sometimes that one player can make the entire difference. Apart-from only one out of his clubs seven goals, the sharp shooter was at his best bagging four markers and two assists. His massive offensive output was one thing as was the timing of when he made it happen. Carnage trailed 6-4 at one point during the third period before Pace put on a show scoring twice that included a shorthanded goal to tie the game along with a feed on S.Azzi's winner.
(6)Horsemen vs Kentucky Blue(5)
Horsemen barely hold on after good start
It's always nice when a team gets the start they wanted to a hockey game. The Horsemen rode a four goal first period that had them up 4-2 after fifteen minutes of play. Luckily enough for that good start because the Kentucky Blue did turn it up a notch in the ensuing frame. M.Broccoli scored twice during that span to put his club in striking distance heading into the third. Unable to get the equaliser, the Kentucky Blue fell by a pair despite pulling within one shortly after. The win came with the help of two power play goals-from P.Sidhom and T.Zermalias along with balanced goal scoring.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Marco Pace of Carnage. Plain and simple, M.Pace was that good on Wednesday night. The dynamic forward struck four times along with two assists providing some of his points at the most crucial time of the game.
