"Hayes should have been covering all of those guys", said Dr. Bob, "Not only that, but he didn't even score his own goal!"
After taking a lead by Pat Morin, fed by a nice back hand pass by Rich Meyers across the slot, the Icemen suffered a 2nd period defensive lapse, allowing the Stripers to score 3 goals in less than 2 minutes. Less than a minute later Tim Polanowski struck back with a beatiful unassisted play. Blocking a point shot , the puck bounced out out of our zone where Tim scoopped it up for a breakaway score. Going into the 3rd period down a goal, a close battle was fought. Undeterred by late Striper goal, the Icemen continued to battle. With under a half minute to go and the goalie pulled, Pat Morin notched his 2nd of the game assisted by Tim. A last second flurry in front of the Striper goal almost bore fruit but we just could not jam it in.
Next up are the Blue Crabs...hoping Santa brings victories in the new year!
The Icemen earned a moral victory by keeping the Bombers potent Lower C attack to under 10 goals. Additionally, a third period rally was responsible for causing the Bombers netminder to show a slight hint of perspiration on his brow. "If he thought he was going to come in here make a save or two and pack up his dry equipment until next game, He was SORELY mistaken", said Captain Paul Sampson. "After those handful of shots near the end of the game he may even have to shower tonight. Hope you brought your loofa bi@tch!"
The Icemen dominated a whiny bunch of pussies for their first win of the season. A tight and well played game, turned ugly in the third period when a few babies on an otherwise decent team started diving, crying and dropping their gloves before getting smacked in the mouth and kicked out of the game. Hopefully next time these two teams meet, #19 and #29 can remember it's only rec league hockey and keep their mouths shut.
On a lighter note, Pat Morin got a new stick and scored 5 goals!!! "I would have liked to see Guy LaFleur play with one of these composite sticks", said the team's top scorer.
The Icemen suffered a second disappointing loss in a row, 5-2, coming out flat against APG Black. APG jumped out to a 4 goal lead half way through the game as we gave up too many odd man rushes and breakaways. The Icemen finally got on the board late in the 2nd period after Paul Sampson chipped a Texas League blooper from behind the net, off a defender sissy swatting at it, where it dropped to Jay Burke, who jammed it in from the door step. Two minutes later, APG would respond to restore the 4 goal lead. Icemen newcomer Dave Bright was so disgusted he blew chunks off to the side of the bench. John Bright tried to cover for his brother by saying it’s the smoking but Dave was overheard yelling at John in the parking lot after the game “I thought you said you were on a good team!” Scott Lindenkohl notched his first goal as an Icemen late in the 3rd period, converting a Rich Meyers rebound, with the 2nd assist going to Patrick Mullen.
