S.DosSantos displays leadership and scoring prowess collecting hat trick

(7)Rated R vs Krazy Train(5)

Sometimes you just want to get off to a good start when two solid teams face one another. By keeping a much simpler game plan, Rated R made the right plays and benefited enough times to play ahead. As much as the Krazy Train tried to regroup, mental errors continued to plague their game. It wasn’t like they backed down or let go of the gas pedal. Rated R would always respond and keep a comfortable distance making the Krazy Train work that much harder. Its always nice when your captain shows leadership in the dressing and on the court. S.DosSantos completed his hat trick with great patience before ripping the ball in the top corner of the net for a 7-4 third period lead. Now that the Rated R had that much more wiggle room, the rest belonged to a great defensive structure to close the lanes, and more importantly P.Assadi making the timely saves. In the end, Rated R came out prepared while the Krazy Train played somewhat careless.

Armadillos pull away leaving Fatal Demons in the dust

(3)Fatal Demons vs Armadillos( 8 )

Both sides were determined to give each other a run for their money. The Armadillos did get the edge winning the opening frame 3-1 that included a huge back breaking shorthanded goal by the captain J.Kontitsis. The Fatal Demons did overcome the hurdle when M.Destounis scored on the power play to narrow the gap by one. As the period kept unfolding, the Armadillos started to assert their dominance striking twice before it was over. The 5-2 lead was never challenged as the Armadillos added three more straight tallies to put the game completely out of reach. While the Fatal Demons had kept it close for as long as possible, the Armadillos superior team work and skill ultimately proved to be the difference maker. Many contributed up front with J.Kontitsis and P.Legatos sharing two goals each.

D.Verta and M.Nardi combine for 9 points, Brew Crew thrive to defeat HC Fennecs

(5)Brew Crew vs HC Fennecs(3)

After trading a first period goal each, the Brew Crew showcased their strength converting three times in the second period to distance themselves-from the HC Fennecs. M.Nardi was having one of those nights that the opposition had no answers for. The forward was definitely on top of his game involved in all four goals that included a hat trick. To his help, D.Verta fed him three times while netting the other. The dynamic dup played a significant role in the Brew Crew’s offense combining for a whopping nine points. D.Verta wasn’t done yet adding his fifth point courtesy of a power play goal. Despite going dry up front, the HC Fennecs stuck with it and benefited twice due to their resiliency. S.Senoune and A.Ouchia each scored to narrow the gap by a pair, but it proved to be a little to late as the Brew Crew hung on to a 5-3 result.

K.Gamache sets up four tallies, Chiefs pace their way to down the Altius

(6)Chiefs vs Altius(2)

It was a win marked by balance scoring and outstanding play making skills by K.Gamache, who recorded four helpers. The Chiefs came out strong in the first period, taking control of the game on two quick tallies. Although D.Provots-Jarry did respond for the Altius, the game was ultimately decided by the end of the second when J.Gagne finished off a brilliant play. The Altius found it difficult to get much scoring done against a goaltender that practically covers the entire net. Unless its a perfect precise shot like in the case of A.Alfonso’s tally, P.O.Girouard will likely deny you. The Altius had their few chances to add more, but kept hitting a wall. The Chiefs well rounded performance and offensive fire power were to much for the Altius to handle in this game, and they emerged as clear victors with a 6-2 score line.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Sergio DosSantos of Rated R. The captain stole the spotlight delivering a spectacular performance by scoring three big goals.
