Brew Crew keep playing near perfect hockey
(4)Brew Crew vs Fatal Demons(1)
The Brew Crew don’t seem to have any button issues so far this season. They often get the start they want, and teams cant seem to respond in any manner in order to try and get back into the game. Again, they scored at least three in the opening frame to take control of the match. It helps when you get goals on beautiful tip ins-from B.Sansotta while getting an incredible lucky bounce just before the buzzer sounds. Those kind of starts helps build confidence going forward while being engaged in the game. Adding to all that, the Brew Crew are very stingy when playing without the ball. The Fatal Demons know this as they managed only one single tally when P.Paikopoulos used his patented slap shot to beat C.Muccino. Other than that, there wasn’t much to write home about for the Fatal Demons. After opening the scoring by the five minute mark, A.Belanger closed it with his second just passed the mid way point of the game. G.Nehme had his number appear on the good side of the score sheet collecting three helpers while C.Muccino felt some good lighting would have enabled his shutout stopping 14 of 15 shots.
Horsemen get back on track in rout of RCGT Knights
(1)RCGT Knights vs Horsemen(8)
Whatever frustration the Horsemen had after last weeks loss to the Brew Crew, they took it out against the RCGT Knights. The RCGT Knights never had a chance in this one after finding themselves down 4-0 early on . Its extremely difficult to battle back- from such a deficit. T.Karasek, who just came off an injury looked 100% as the sniper scored twice that period before completing his hat trick late in the game. Things did settle down after that since there wasn’t much urgency, at least not -from the Horsemen’s perspective. Y.Gazura did score on the power play for the RCGT Knights while D.Greco replied in a shorthanded situation to put the Horsemen up 6-1 by the nine minute mark of the second period. Apart-from T.Karasek’s hat trick, the Horsemen had everyone chip in one way or another. Overall, just a solid 45 minute effort for a team that needed to respond after a subpar performance only a week ago.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Thomas Karasek of the Horsemen. In his first game back after injury, his hands looked brand new as he was bale to score three times that included a nifty move to beat S.Sauk.
