Rocket wrist shot J.Melo nets OT winner for Team Yellow

(6)Team Blue vs Team Yellow(7) O.T

After a wild affair between these two teams, J.Melo kept overtime short and sweet for Team Yellow. J.Melo scored fairly quick netting his second goal and fourth point of the game. In games like this, you want to make sure to be on the right side of momentum swings, but it didn’t seem to apply as both teams kept trading some late tallies that led to a wild finish. Six goals combined all came in the last ten minutes which suggested for an unpredictable finish.  You almost could have sensed that who ever got that first scoring chance in overtime would have decided matters. In tonight’s case, J.Melo had more than enough time riding and releasing a hard low patented wrist shot to beat P.Kassaris and Team Blue.

The SalumiVino player of the game goes to Jason Melo. The savvy d-man seized the moment, using a nice hard wrist shot to cap off a solid four point performance.

Team Black burned by C.Stamadianos’s 6 goal onslaught

(11)Team Green vs Team Black(8)

 It looked as though Team Black didn’t get the memo on how to address C.Stamadiaons of Team Green. Already with a pair of earlier tallies, C.Stamadianos burned Team Black on a bunch of late flurries. The sniper went on a scoring festival riffling four straight for his club doing pretty much what he wanted in front of a defenceless net minder. Its not like Team Black don’t have some good shut down players such as A.De Sua, G.Varrecchione and the one and only B.Panarello. For an experienced group like that, you would have to figure a better and smarter defensive structure, but that wasn’t the case as they were unable to contain a major threat. Hockey is about adjusting as you roll along. Team Black have the elements to put something fine together, having players that can change a game up front such as J.Teresi and M.Braun, who both combined for nine points. Team Green however were the ones to get the result in the end, but that was thanks to a highly productive performance by C.Stamadiano’s six goals and assist.

The SalumiVino player of the game goes Chris Stamadianos of Team Green. What more can you say when a player scores a total of six goals that included four straight towards the end of the encounter.

Team White barely hang on in wild finish with Team Red

(12)Team White vs Team Red(11)

If you like goals and action this was a game to watch. If you prefer a more responsible defensive game, than you got ripped off at the ticket booth. Team White and Team Red didn’t care much about their goaltenders on Sunday night as they hoped to prevail on who would score the most goals. Team White did play with the lead for most of the contest, but kept getting a response-from a resilient opponent. The deciding tally came off the blade of T.Fernando, who riffled his only goal at perhaps the most important point of the match. D.Mansour and S.Fraga did plenty of damage bagging four goals each in the win. As for team Red, S.Sicuso also scored four goals while G.Francoeur and C.Arnoldo shared two goals each.

The SalumiVino player of the game goes to Simon Fraga of Team White. Playing on all areas over the court, S.Fraga made plenty happen that led to a four goal outing.
