Wheels fall off late for Horsemen, Fatal Demons pull away
(6)Fatal Demons vs Horsemen(1)
Considering the circumstances, the Horsemen hung with the Fatal Demons, but were eventually outgunned due to their lack of body count. The Horsemen battled really hard trailing most of the game by only one goal until they just couldn’t keep up anymore. It was by the eight minute mark of the third period where the Fatal Demons derailed the game on four straight tallies. No one needed to be the hero as five different players took turns finding the back of the net. T.Langiano did strike twice, and R.Ranieri was vital keeping the Horsemen in check allowing only one goal on 23 shots. The net minder came up huge in the third period making two key saves on the same play with his team up only 2-1. It was shortly after that the Fatal Demons scored in bunches to pull away. Despite what the score says, this contest was way closer than a 6-1 game.
A.Belanger nets first period natural hat trick , Brew Crew rout RCGT Knights
(8)Brew Crew vs RCGT Knights(1)
The Brew Crew put on a show once again on Thursday night. Leading the way was a jaw dropping first period performance by A.Belanger, who single handily dismantled the RCGT Knights defence and net minder potting three goals for a natural hat trick. Surely, that individual surge powered the rest of the Brew Crew to feed off it despite losing the second frame on the RCGT Knights lone tally of the game. Once the third period hit, it was curtains for the RCGT Knights, who simply couldn’t compete hard enough. The Brew Crew rattled off five consecutive goals in only eight minutes that included a pair-from B.Sansotta. There is no doubt the Brew Crew have the chemistry since they have been together for a while. As for the RCGT Knights, the body count is deep, the quality of the players isn’t the issue ,but maybe the chemistry just isn’t there right now. S.Sauk or whoever has some leadership qualities needs to try and put it all together. If that happens, the RCGT Knights will be a difficult challenge no matter who they face.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Anthony Belanger of the Brew Crew. Scoring three goals before the first period ends is quite impressive. Belanger did just that which set the tone for his club en route to another victory.
