Generals steam roll past Rated R
(9)Generals vs Rated R(1)
The Generals offensive prowess was on full display, with their forwards weaving intricate patterns and unleashing a barrage of shots on Rated R’s goaltender. Each goal seemed to come effortlessly, as the Generals exploited every gap in Rated R’s defense with clinical precision. But it wasn’t just the offense that shone for the Generals; their defense was equally formidable. With a combination of stout defending and quick transitions, they stifled Rated R’s attempts to mount any sort of comeback. The only thing that was worth searching for at one point was to simply get on board at least once. Eventually, that moment occurred in the third period thanks to M.DelGaudio. Perhaps, P.Blais would have preferred a clean sheet, but the net minder didn’t have much to complain about since his team was far and beyond superior on this particular night. The Generals have many weapons that can put up some nice numbers statistically. Tonight however, D.Lafleur can gloat about his performance as the forward had a night to remember posting three goals for a hat trick.
Fatal Demons third period blitz overwhelms Brew Crew
(11)Fatal Demons vs Brew Crew(3)
The game kicked off with no indicator of where it was headed. The two teams kept going back and forth trading some decent chances with neither side grabbing a sufficient edge. By the time the second period ended, the Fatal Demons found themselves ahead 4-3 suggesting for a nail biting third period. That couldn’t be further than the case however . The Fatal Demons offense exploded into action, overwhelming the Brew Crew with relentless pressure and precision passing. While many contributed offensively, there was no question C.Gingras had something to do with the onslaught. He decided to take a more selfish role by bagging five total goals without going with at least an assist. Some of the playmaking responsibilities went to M.Mavroudis, who normally likes to score, but decided to play nice instead setting up four tallies. Defensively, the Fatal Demons locked things down for a good chunk of the game which can be attributed to R.Ranieri’s stellar play between the pipes. Although the score line suggests for a total beat down, the Brew Crew were able to hang with the Fatal Demons for two straight periods until falling apart by the third.

P.Musto’s presence on the power play proved to be a game changer as he netted not one, but two blistering goals with pin point accuracy , leaving the opposing goaltender stunned. Undeterred by the set back, the Krazy Train fought back with vigor, launching a series of attacks in hopes of tying the game. As they tried to get close by pulling within one, the Armadillos had a swift response to regain a two goal cushion. P.Arkalis used a perfect top corner shot late in the first period with his first of two on the night. The Armadillos played a smart and structured game to defeat a formidable opponent. They capitalised on the power play, their defensive line stood firm, and A.Ekonomakis is always an exceptional last line of defense making it very difficult for any opponent to be beat.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Paolo Musto of the Armadillos. With two blistering power play goals and an assist to his name, the veterans performance was nothing short of spectacular, leaving a lasting impact on the outcome of the game.
