Team Blue prevail in collective effort over Team Green
(8)Team Blue vs Team Green(6)
Meeting for the first time in the Draft League Sunday, Team Blue and Team Green exchanged goals right-from the start. The offense was a little more spread out for Team Blue getting scoring efforts-from six different players while Team Green relied on C.Stamadinos to record a hat trick and E.Nardelli that posted a pair. The end result did favour Team Blue by a narrow 8-6 margin that saw J-F Gauthier notch the winner. P.Kassaris was busier in net having to face just over 40 shots while Team Green insulated S.Sauk much more allowing the net minder to see just under 30 shots. Despite the loss, Team Green will be looking for C.Stamadianos to do much of the damage as the forward was dominant collecting five points.
The SalumiVino player of the game goes to Paul Kassaris of Team Blue. Allowing only six goals in this format while facing over 40 shots is quite an achievement. The veteran net minder shows he still has it and will be a solid piece for his club moving forward.
G.Moffa scores 4 goals to carry Team White past Team Black
(7)Team White vs Team Black(5)
G.Moffa just showed everyone on his team that he will be a big part of their success. In his first game alone, the sharp shooter riffled four goals and an assist to help lead his club to a fairly close win over Team Black. In addition to his onslaught, C.Roberts contributed striking twice while S.Fraga was behind setting up three tallies. Team Black didn’t quite have the start they wanted but definitely got the finish they hoped for even if they fell a little short. Their comeback effort was led by a player that will heavily be relied on in J.Teresi. The spark plug made plenty happen collecting three points. A.DeSua chipped in with three points as well while B.Panarello, M.Bruan and B.Freitas-Pereira combined for six points.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to G.Moffa of Team White. The forward was simply dynamite , sparking five points that included a bunch of goals.
A goal scores touch M.Paciencia haunts Team Red’s defense
(8)Team Red vs Team Yellow(10)
Its never easy scoring that many goals in a game, especially five versus a side that has plenty of experience playing hockey. Team Red’s inability to neutralise M.Paciencia ultimately doomed them in the end. Team Yellow got half of their ten goals-from that one player alone and plenty of contributions-from their entire team. Maybe its because it’s the first game of the season, or rather that their isn’t really much on the line, but Team Red laid an egg on opening night. Their roster have some quality players that normally play well without the ball but it seemed like their focus was only offense. Out of their eight goals, C.Arnoldo and S.Sicuso chipped in with a pair. As for Team Yellow, J.Melo put up come nice numbers accumulating five points while G.Missakian was right behind him with four helpers.
The SalumiVino player of the game goes to M.Paciencia of Team Yellow. Team Yellow captured a 10-8 win thanks to Paciencia’s incredible five goal performance.
