( 8 )Generals vs Armadillos(2)

The Generals entered tonight’s contest proving that their new additions would make an impact against a formidable opponent. For a while, the Armadillos were able to match the Generals in every aspect of the game. Both sides showcased their offensive fire power by making crisp beautiful plays that kept the defence on alert along with the goaltenders. Eventually, things did take a turn after a tightly knitted first period. The turning point occurred early in the second frame with the Generals surging on three very quick goals. Their new additions wasted no time  making their presence felt, seamlessly integrating into the teams dynamic play. M.Duguay found his rhythm right away bagging a hat trick, and A.Gauthier didn’t slow down keeping the Armadillos defense on their heels. Their skilful contributions added depth and versatility to the line up, creating numerous chances that resulted in a thumping victory over a solid contender. Although still early in the regular season, the Generals made a statement tonight earning the respect as perhaps the team to beat.

Fatal Demons power past Rated R after second period explosion

(3)Rated R vs Fatal Demons(7)

The game ignited with both teams showcasing their skills, and testing each others defenses in a fiercely contested first period. Rather than the game continuing at the same pace, the script flipped by the second period, with the Fatal Demons taking over on four unanswered goals. C.Gingras collected his fourth point during that stretch, and T.Karvouriaris finished off a couple of nice plays to provide a 6-1 lead. The Fatal Demons offense was on full display as they capitalised on turn overs leading into high end scoring chances. With the hill a little to steep to climb, Rated R battled hard anyway making sure that the Fatal Demons didn’t out class them. They managed to score twice with G.Pisanelli involved in all three markers. The game was ultimately decided in one frame where the Fatal Demons used a combination of offensive fire power and defensive prowess.

Krazy Train gains momentum after slow start with the Brew Crew

(7)Krazy Train vs Brew Crew(4)

It wasn’t up until the second period that the Krazy Train found their rhythm, displaying fluid passing and relentless offensive pressure that left the Brew Crew struggling to keep pace. With some nice finishing plays, and solid goaltending by P.Delli Colli, the Krazy Train surged ahead on the scoreboard, establishing a lead that would prove difficult for the Brew Crew to overcome. D.Lombardi rattled off a hat trick after receiving a pair of sweet passes by D.Greco. Also in the mix was D.Charbonneau, who complemented his line mates on two perfect releases. Despite facing a deficit, the Brew Crew fought valiantly making sure that the Krazy Train had to work for their win. A four goal hole turned into a two goal hole which started to sound the alarm bells for the Krazy Train, especially with the Brew Crew awarded a power play opportunity. And rather than capitalising with the man advantage, D.Lombardi crushed all hope by netting a shorthanded goal that involved incredible patience to fake out the net minder.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to David Lombardi of the Krazy Train. In a gripping ball hockey showdown, D.Lombardi delivered a stellar performance, netting a sensational hat trick to lead his team to victory.
