ETNA continue to roll in double rout of Diabetoz Angels

ETNA continue to dispatch their opponent with ease. Both sides entered tonight’s contest in opposite directions and things didn’t change at all with ETNA rolling passed a struggling Diabetoz Angles side. Completely out matched ,the Diabetoz had no solutions on how to slow down a well oiled machine. M.Calabrice and F.Perron scored two goals each in the opener with M.Rosato stopping all 15 shots  while much of the same occurred in the ensuing match except for M.Rosato conceding his lone tally when T.C.Caperos finally beat him. M.Calabrice duplicated his efforts netting two more tallies as part of an eight point night. Still very early the season, the Diabetoz Angels will have plenty of time on how to improve their game. Meanwhile, ETNA will remain confident throughout the campaign as they expect nothing less than to keep winning. This was their first of two of a double header night for the ETNA.

S.Ruggiero shorthanded goal provided the edge for the Assadi Classics

The Assadi Classics needed something great or fortunate to get out of a serious jam. With the game deadlocked 1-1 with just over three minutes remaining, killing a penalty in a four on three situation isn’t the easiest thing to do. In these circumstances, you really hope that you can kill it off in order to have a chance to steal the game. However, the Assadi Classics did something better, and that was all thanks to their reliable sniper. S.Ruggiero was fantastic and timely by snapping a late tie courtesy of his shorthanded marker. That goal couldn’t have come at a better time in what was a low scoring affair. The United Arms were definitely frustrated for how things ended. They did have another shot at it but were never able to grab a lead. A.Zakarian tied the game 1-1 early in the second period. Only three minutes had gone by before M.Destounis put the Assadi Classics back in front. As much as the United Arms attempted to equalise, they just couldn’t get the much needed marker. The Assadi Classics know how to shut you down, and they did just that with the help of P.Assadi, who was stellar allowing only two goals in four periods.

Dominant again, ETNA will be getting attention of the division

Again, ETNA took over both games with a complete offensive effort. After coming off a pair of lopsided wins, ETNA continued their offensive onslaught dismantling the Hungry Hippos in two straight games. M.Stoico set the tone bagging two goals while five different players contributed in the scoring department for a 7-1 rout. It was almost expected that the ETNA was going to dominate the rest of the way no matter how hard the Hungry Hippos tried to slow them down. Things did remain close after one period but that eventually changed when M.Stoico strung two quick tallies to put this game completely out of reach. In eight straight periods, ETNA won deservedly and with no resistance. Surely they will face some tougher challenges ahead of them, but for now, M.Stoico and his club will be satisfied for how well its been so far.

Dragons bounce back with authority after losing in shootout vs Country Club

The Country Club couldn’t have asked for a better start to their night going up against an explosive Dragons side. They played a complete first game which enabled them to take it in the shootout thanks to M.Dalpe and J.Carriere finding the back of the net. However, their good fortunes came to a screeching halt by the second game. The Dragons completely outmatched the Country Club by the second encounter. Only seven minutes and change had gone by before this contest was put to rest with the Dragons storming off to a 4-0 lead. With so many available weapons, B.Daniele led the charge riffling a hat trick. No doubt the slow start came to hurt the Country Club as they kept falling behind the eight ball unable to sustain the pressure put forth by the Dragons. They may not like their finish, but at least they know they can compete with a top tier team.

Snipers make strong statement with convincing wins over Degenerates

The Snipers performance throughout four entire periods was complete as it can get. Once the ball dropped, the better team showed up to play while the Degenerates looked like they were always one step behind. All that effort and hard work adds up throughout a game, and the Snipers would eventually benefit on their many scoring chances. Apart-from Hassan Khanafer scoring twice in the opening game, the Snipers got balanced scoring not needing to rely on any particular player except for an overall team game. To some degree, its not a huge surprise the Snipers took care of business the way they did. When a team out works you, the results will be there which was clearly the case in tonight’s duel between the two sides.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Martin Dalpe of the Country Club. Beating the Dragons wont be an easy task for most teams. However, it can be argued that the influence of M.Dalpe was the main reason why the Country Club edged out the Dragons. The highly skilled forward participated in all four goals that included two tallies along with the shootout winner.
