(1)Devil Dawgz vs Brewers(3) Game 1

Brewers use three third period goals to top Devil Dawgz

Facing the top team of the second division, Friday night provided another tough challenge for the Brewers, who have been heating up after their sweep with the Pillows. While both teams entered the final frame scoreless, the Brewers were the ones to break the barrier on three consecutive goals. G.Lemire, T.Adamacopoulos and G.Bakas all scored while P.Paikopoulos tallied late for the Devil Dawgz. The Devil Dawgz felt they played well for two straight periods which simply wasn't good enough. That being said, B.Tzavaras took the time to address the necessary needs heading into game two.

Devil Dawgz bounce back to down Brewers in Game 2

The Brewers weren't able to respond to the desperation that the Devil Dawgz set forth in this important contest. Clearly, they knew that a major push back was to be expected, and while they couldn't t weather the storm, the Devil Dawgz would ultimately prevail in the end. The importance of scoring first is so incredibly vital when it comes to playoff hockey. The Devil Dawgz made sure to get on board early to shift the pressure the other way. After grabbing a 2-0 first period lead, A.Jalilvand notched his second right before J.Constantin provided a four goal cushion. By that point, there was almost no way the Brewers were coming back. The only positive that they took was that T.Fernando participated in all three tallies. Even though it wasn't enough, the Brewers hoped to feed off the momentum heading in what would be the biggest game of the season.

A.Jalilvand's slap shot delivers final blow to series, Devil Dawgz crowned champions

The drama of sports is real and true. Entering their most important game of the season, both sides put everything they played for on the line. And for how close it was, neither team was shocked that extra time would decide a winner. The Devil Dawgz did strike first very early on but couldn't protect it as T.Fernando came running in riffling a hard wrist shot to tie the game. Just prior to the dying moments of the match, T.Fernando missed out on a glorious chance to end the series. Instead, an ensuing overtime period set the stage for another big moment in the series. Thirty seconds was all it took for A.Jalilvand to riffle a perfect slap shot that found its way to the back of the net. The Devil Dawgz knew that any shot on net could work, and why not since it could decide a championship. They managed to find a way and get their first. For how close this series was, both teams showed that they were very deserving. But with championship games leaving room for only one team to prevail, the Devil Dawgz were glad to be on the winning side of it. On behalf of Hockeyballe.com, congratulations got out to Bill Tzavaras and the Devil Dawgz for winning the Masters 35+ division.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Austin Jalilvand of the Devil Dawgz. Whenever he gets the chance to shot it, odds are good that his wicked slap shop finds the back of the net. The Devil Dawgz were able to celebrate an incredible run thanks to their sniper.
