It's Opening Day, Again.

So long Turco?

Snipers (1-0-0) 3
Blue Devils (0-1-0) 1

The Snipers are bouncing right back from their disappointing post-season destroying the Blue Devils on opening day. Lee Miller makes an appearance on the roster and collects a goal and a penalty, Aaron Hawley claims the only Blue Devil goal. Mike Moore fills-in ably for Matt in the net.

Brewzers (0-1-0) 1
Stickmen (1-0-0) 3

Moore makes his second appearance of the night in net for his Brewzers and the game started well with a goal from Sean Beeman for the B's. The Sticks would rebound with three unanswered tallies- Val Kuntz caps the scoring.

Grave Diggers (0-1-0) 3
Mutineers (1-0-0) 5

This one was locked in a scoreless tie for the entire first but in the second the Diggers establish a two goal lead that almost makes it to the intermission, penalty problems surrender a tie before the third could start. Mickey Syrquin and Chris Kirton reverse the field making a two goal Mutineer lead, the Diggers get a third goal on a power play but Syrquin kills the rally with his second.

MAJOR I

Patriots (0-0-0) 0
Puckers (0-0-0) 1

The game was even in almost every aspect, the scoreboard would go untouched until the third period- the Puckers find a seam from the boards behind the net to the opposite side of the slot where Ellis was undressed (on the ice?) by some lucky Pucker. Patrick Donaghue holds-up in the ensuing Patriot firestorm opening his season with a victory, what a game!

Shockers (0-0-0) -
Spiders (0-0-0) -

I didn't watch this one and it isn't on Pointstink so I can't help you out with the score, I have a feeling the Spiders are pretty hot right now and wouldn't expect them to lose to anyone.

Silverwings (0-0-0) -
Major Blue Devils (1-0-0) -

I played the first game with the Blue Devils Major team and it was versus the Shockers so I don't know what this game is supposed to be- it's just wrong. For the record the Shockers beat us 2 to nil. The game was one early in the second with the first Shocker goal, the second was a result of the aggressive push of the Devils in the late stages of the third that ended in a huge offensive flurry from the Shockers and eventually a goal from the man in the green gloves.

Soul Patch (0-1-0) 0
M.I.B. (1-0-0) 3

The Masters of International Business made their debut or return (formerly known as the Warriors) with a hunger uncommon to the reigning champion. For two periods they were like a big bear with claws and with fangs. . . big fricking teeth, man. Yeah. . . And the Patches are just like these little bunnies, just kinda cowering in the corner, shivering. Yeah, man just kinda... you know, you got these claws and you're staring at these claws and you're thinking to yourself, and with these claws you're thinking, "How am I supposed to kill these bunnies, how am I supposed to kill these bunnies?" And you're poking at it, you're poking at it. . . Yeah, you're not hurting it. You're just kinda gently batting the bunnies around, you know what I mean? And the bunnies are scared MIB, the bunnies are scared of you, shivering. And you got these fricking claws and these fangs. . . And you got these fricking claws and these fangs, man! And you're looking at your claws and you're looking at your fangs. And you're thinking to yourself, you don't know what to do, man. "I don't know how to kill these bunnies." With *this* you don't know how to kill the bunny, do you know what I mean? You're like a big bear, man.

And then they killed them in the third, honestly. So money.

In the Second half of the Blue Devils Double header things went quite a bit better, at least for the Devils, due in large part to Charlie Heine- he scores the first five goals. The Imports get on the board late in the game, but too late for it to matter much, Peter Case's was a beauty draining a cross ice pass past a sprawling Ellis.
