Sonic take over in third to down Brewers

(6)Sonic vs Brewers(4)

Going into this game, the Brewers had the expectations to try and collect at least a win this regular season. Those expectations were nearly met until an early third period let down put the Brewers behind the eight ball. G.Gamieri and F.Pace scored less than two minutes apart, and the Sonic regained control of the match. Both players notched their second of the game while M.Pace added insurance later on for his third point. The Brewers kept at it with the help of G.Tsolis reducing the margin by one for his second of the night, but that was about all they can generate. The Sonic had a very good start to their double header night knowing they picked up at least three points to the standings.

National cant hold 3 third period goal lead, settle for draw with Chiefs

(4)Chiefs vs National(4) S.O

National know they let this one slip away on Friday night. Staked to a three goal lead with less then ten minutes remaining, National allowed the Chiefs to claw back and force overtime along with the shootout. Part of the comeback effort was led by J.Bolanakis ,M.Destounis, A.Moscato and S.Koulieris as all four players collected two points apiece. The Chiefs did benefit twice when awarded a pair of power play chances. On both occasions, they capitalised getting their second one with less than a minute left on the clock. Neither side would go on to score in the sudden death frame, and would later exchange a shootout goal each to settle for a tie. For National, they’ll feel like they lost this game despite collecting a point while the Chiefs have plenty to feel good about after a solid finish to their night.

Armos play it tight and benefit in rout of Sonic

(5)Armos vs Sonic(0)

C.Stavriadis made 24 saves, S.Ruggiero riffled a pair of deadly bullets, and the Armos were able to defeat the Sonic with a 5-0 victory. After getting an early goal, the game remained close until the mid way point of the second period. It was -from that point on that the Armos ran up the score on four consecutive markers. S.Ruggiero had already set up two tallies before adding a pair for himself. It wasn’t like the Sonic didn’t get their chances or push the pace enough times. The problem was that they faced a fresher team that wasn’t giving up much space due to their lack of changes. Sometimes a smaller bench forces everyone to buy in defensively, and that’s exactly what the Armos did in order to get the result. Add to all that, C.Stavriadis helped in an enormous way by stopping every single ball.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Costa Stavriadis of the Armos. The net minder stopped everything he saw, denying 24 shots attempts to earn a well deserved shutout.
