Logston is Making the Game About Him



minor i

Snipers (2-1-0) 1
Silverwings (2-0-0) 7

Matt Walker has one of his worst outings in recent memory, no surprise it comes on the watch of our new favorite Ref- Logston. Sergio Castillo scores the lone goal of the first period for the Wings, Sean Beeman collects a tiny two minute tripping penalty putting the Snipers down a man- There was much more between Beeman and Logston in the next period. In the second minute of the second period Beeman is called for hooking and a dispute between him and Logston escalates into sixty-six minutes worth of penalties. The game settles back down when Jason Neal and Cody Patten put the Wings three up before they surrender the shut-out on a Sniper power play to Ernest Moreno. Chris Arendall makes the turn about power play goal for the Wings. Castillo, Arendall, and Patten each double their totals to wrap the game, but Logston's appetite was nowhere near satiated. . .

Brewzers (1-2-0) 5
Mutineers (2-1-0) 7

The Brewzers take the ice against a stout Mutineer squad and hold their own in a teeter-totter, high-scoring affair. Steve Collyard takes the initial strike for the Brewzers the Mutes cancel with a Nathan Hamilton power play goal. The Brewzers put themselves down a man again but kill the penalty and score two shorties for good measure: Andy Radic, Brian Flashbart. The Mutes overtake with a four goal run the most important being the Erick Ahlstedt sweep-in of the puck covered by Mike Moore, the argument over the whistle between Mike and Logston ends in the ejection of Moore from the game. The Brew crew stands Raul Gilbreath in the crease and rallies to a tie with goals from Sutton (short-handed) and David Counce, but nearly an entire third to protect and score the winner was quite a task, especially with your netminder pacing the floor outside the glass. Mickey Syrquin finds the net for the lead and John Swartzbaugh draws the life from the Brew bench.

Minor Blue Devils (0-3-0) 1
Grave Diggers (1-2-0) 3

The Diggers put themselves in a hole in a game where goals were hard to find, Devil Matt Weinrich takes a tentative lead in the second. But true to their name they start digging themselves out tying the game with Tom Schrage's first goal and taking the lead with his second. The Devils nipped at their heals but the empty net strategy yields the Diggers' third goal via Ryan Kelley. Are the Diggers starting their run this week, if so watch out!

MAJOR I

Patriots (1-2-0) 1
Major Blue Devils (2-1-0) 4

In Logston's final game of the night he attempts to skate under the radar- only two penalties in the game but plenty of confusing icing rulings. The Devils and Pats share a netminder currently- yours truly, so the Pats draw the short straw and get my sorry ass for the next forty or so. Brett Lacasse takes out some garbage for the Devil's first goal and in the second Ray Workman pulls a similar duty. Workman gets his second on a neutral zone turn-over, and Allen Kriesman capitalizes on the power play to make it four to nuthin'. The Pats claim an ugly goal of their own as the arc one over Redmon's shoulders and Roy Haenselmann sweeps it in. So much for my grand exit.

Spiders (0-3-0) 2
LSI (1-1-0) 5

The Spiders can't find a win, are they missing the presence of Patty Greco? I think so. The Imports roll-out a big lead with goals from Cody Patten, Robert Burns, and Matt Dever- Linda Mason halts the charge with a Spider goal, but only for a moment. Karen Gallagher, herself a former Spider, erases the Mason goal with a sweet one timer on the back hand. The Spiders death throe is a goal from William Wessel and LSI seals the deal with a Peter Case goal. Spiders are the only winless team left.

M.I.B. (2-1-0) 3
Puckers (1-2-0) 0

The Mesopotamian Instrumental Band runs out another quality game in their on again off again pattern, and Patrick Donaghue can do nothing to stop them. All of the scoring takes place in the first: Mike Kuntz followed by a pair from Ryan Morris. The Puckers allow twenty-eight total shots against and only gain nineteen for themselves, the Mesopotamian defense lets Bobby Michaelides see every one and he carries the shut-out through to the final buzzer. The game certainly would have been more enjoyable if the goals had been scored later, the drama couldn't match the play on the ice with the early deficit. In their defense, the Puckers had a short bench.

Major Stickmen (1-0-0) 5
Shockers (3-1-0) 2

Topher's Midi-chlorian levels finally drop-off and the Shockers suffer not only their first goals against but also their first loss. The Sticks early lead from Chase Hannah and Charlie Heine is erased with Shocker goals from Nick McMacken and Josh Rooker, but the Sticks regain their lead with a three goal run. Derek Pfeifer breaks the tie and the staunch Stick D and second goals from Hannah and Heine complete the Shocking turn of fortune for the Shockers.

Soul Patch (1-2-0) 3
Shockers (3-1-0) 4

Unable to leave the rink without at least one win, the Shockers volunteer the double header to benefit the Soul Patch and the nine team league. The Patches for their part hit for the first two goals, both from Bruce Davis, the lead carries to the third where Nick McMacken reproduces Davis feat with a couple tallies and the tie. Stephen Dowling pulls the Shockers in front and the empty net is filled with a goal by Matt Russell. In the final seconds of the game, the Patches collect a power play goal from Brad Aho, but it proves to difficult to tie the game in the remaining 6 seconds, and Topher gets a measure of his luck back- for this week.

Hey Ellis --- the puck was NEVER covered by Mike Moore during the scramble that led to me scoring. The puck was just in front of his left leg pad. I was on the opposite side from the puck, but could see it clearly loose. I shot it twice, before it went in on the third shot. Moore's flip out was senseless. The play by my team and I was a good play - there was nothing controversial about it.

Yes steve niekamp plays in c league. He has one goal in 15 games. Our team is (1-3) and finished in last place last season. Man he is really lighting the lamp up in the higher league. Way to do your homework.
