Team Greece steamrolls past Team Pakistan

(1)Team Pakistan vs Team Greece(9)

In a lopsided affair that showcased the sheer dominance of Team Greece, they surged to a commanding victory in a resounding display of skill and precision on the court. It was evident that Team Greece meant business , wasting no time in asserting their authority with swift passes, relentless pressure, and clinical finishing. The onslaught had a few players contribute, mainly-from A.Kakivelis, K.Kuczmarski, P.Arkalis and N.Kakouras as all four players chipped in with two goals each. Rather than weathering the storm as the game went on, Team Greece’s offense only intensified creating a wider and unreasonable gap for any sort of comeback attempt. The only thing left over for Team Pakistan was to try and get on board at least once. That feat was nearly achieved as the game was winding down to its final minute. Unfortunately for C.Ekonomakis, F.Nasser was there to leave a slight sour taste for the goaltender. Regardless the last minute hic up, Team Greece sent a clear message to the competition that they’ll be a very difficult out for any opponent.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Cameron Confuorti of Team Italy. Unfazed, calm and collective, C.Confuorti was exceptional energising his club in front of him by stopping every single shot he faced.

Peters overwhelmed in rematch after shootout loss to Classics

In a mini series filled with intensity, the Classics showcased their dominance by manhandling the Peters in their second encounter. With a display of skill and exceptional goaltending by A.Ekonomakis, the Classics secured a decisive victory, leaving the Peters in their wake. This matchup was a stark departure-from their first game, which had been a nail biting affair ultimately decided in a shootout favouring the Classics. C.Gingras was the only player to score during the breakaways with A.Ekonomakis denying two attempts to earn the victory. Heading into the second encounter, The Peters had their fair share of chances, but struggled to beat the Classics net minder. Unfortunately, every time the Classics generated something good, it usually found its way in the net. Its not like C.Fortin didn’t do his part. The Classics often don’t miss when M.Destounis is in close to finish off a play or when A.Kakivelis releases a wicked shot giving no goaltender time to react. P.Karvouriaris also joined the club bagging a pair leaving no doubt about their offensive superiority.

Les Yables outshine Snipers in second match

The Snipers showed that they were able to compete toe to toe with les Yables after dropping a 4-2 shootout loss. The two sides traded a goal apiece in the first two periods which forced a breakaway competition. During that span, Les Yables owned it by converting twice with goals by D.Marcotte and M-O Brouillard. Unlike the first encounter ,Les Yables set the pace with quicker transitions and precision passing leaving the Snipers scrambling to keep up. All five of their goals came-from different players which made it harder for the Snipers to formulate a specific game plan. Les Yables were simply faster, and because of their speed and finesse, the Snipers couldn’t match their pace which explains the final score line. F.Lacasse got credited the winner while J-F Simard allowed all but one goal to earn his second win in net.

DHK’s strong finish propels them to a pair of victories over the Degenerates

Despite facing a deficit, the Degenerates bounced back in the first encounter to even the score in a thrilling show down. M.Chenier’s second that came very late forced a shootout against a formidable opponent. With A.Manelli patiently waiting out R.Ranieri on a nifty move coupled with M.Gagnon denying both attempts, the DHK secured the win anyway. Much of the ensuing match remained very close with neither side grabbing an edge after a period. Then, on a wicked shot by the DHK’s captain N.Francis that snapped the tie, the flood gates opened for the DHK. The Degenerates were unable to contain the DHK’s fire power that resulted in four unanswered goals. A.Manelli posted his second as did N.Francis to finish off the night strong. For well over three periods, the two sides went back and forth with no clear cut indictor on who would win. It wasn’t until the latter stages of the final frame that the DHK were able to separate themselves as a superior opponent.
