The Ice Holes held off the Spiders 2-0 on Saturday night, while Brewzers survived the scrappy Spuds, 5-4.
The game summaries:
- Wolverines 8, Fugaweez 6: Chris Conner and Greg Mersberger each had two goals, and the Wolverines got out to a 5-0 lead before hanging on for the victory. After digging the big hole, Fugaweez answered with five of the next six scores. They pulled within 6-5 on Derek Tillemans’ goal with 5:20 left. But the Wolverines put it away with Conner’s second score, with 1:30 to go, then added an empty netter.
- Stickmen 2, Patriots 1: In the most controversial ending of the night, a Patriots’ score at the final buzzer was disallowed by the scorekeeper, clinching victory for the undefeated Stickmen. The call, still disputed by the Patriots, was that the buzzer in the scorekeeper’s box sounded before the puck crossed the goal line. Jeff Thomas was the hero for the Stickmen. He scored an unassisted goal in the first period and added the game winner, on an assist by Ed Vogel, with 6:25 left in the third. The Patriots’ goal was scored by Robert Gullinese, unassisted. This would be a dandy rematch in the Stanley Keg playoffs.
- Phantoms 3, Stingers 1: The Phantoms smothered the Stingers’ offense, allowing just eight shots. Scores came from Jay Peters, Bryan Brookman and Jason Neal. John Loyd had an assist on Peters’ goal. The Stingers’ ruined Don Inman’s shutout with Jack Seabaugh’s goal at the 8:20 mark in the third. Greg Carter assisted.
- Brewzers 5, Spuds 4: Jamil Jabri had four goals and an assist as Brewzers overcame an early 3-1 deficit to the winless Spuds. Andy Thomas also had a big night for the Brewzers. He had a hand in all their scores – a goal and four assists. Substitute Daniel Barr led the Spuds with a hat trick.
- Blue Devils 3, REDRUM 0: Defenseman Ray “The Rock” Workman played goalie the entire third period while the frantically checking Blue Devils held REDRUM without a shot to complete the shutout. Workman, a.k.a. "A Little On The Slow Side But Ferocious Like A Cornered Badger," was forced into goal after BD’s netminder Mike Redmon was ejected for a little fracas during the second intermission. Blood was drawn; that's all we're saying about it. (All in good fun, eh?) Goals were by Michael Binney (unassisted), Kevin Garten (assist Mike Drago) and David Ogle (assist Patrick Green).
- Snipers 6, Puckers 0: Tom Buckner had three goals and an assist, while David Counce added a pair of scores for the Snipers. This one was no contest. The Puckers managed only seven shots on goalie Josh Ayala.
- Ice Holes 2, Spiders 0: David Base and Phillip Hussey scored to lift the Ice Holes to their first victory. Assists came from Greg Durante and Andrea Cortinas. David Giesecke was perfect on the 15 shots he faced in goal.

I cannot wait to hear the explantion you have been given for the Patriots getting screwed. How the referees (who ruled it a goal on the ice) allowed the TIMEKEEPER to overrule them both. Here's a guy who probably hasnt mastered high school algebra, yet he can tell the EXACT moment the puck crossed the goal line from 100 feet away. Unbelievable.
Controversial doings last week, for sure, in both that game and the BD's-REDRUM game. Keeps things interesting, eh?
There's interesting and then there's idiotic. I cannot speak for the BD-REDRUM game, but I can speak for the Patriot game. Idiotic.
Several comments here. Refs have been getting worse over the past couple of seasons. When has it become OK to mow over goalies and nothing happen. I think BD's goalie stood up for something we all should. Two weeks ago two dropped gloves and only got minors. It takes a group of people to voice their opinion and maybe things will change. I have written Knute and MHOA but only one person.. who cares
Good comments fellas. Keep em coming. We'll be sure Knute is alerted to the feelings out there.

ESP.
In all seriousness, a scorekeeper shouldn't be allowed to make that call. It's obvious that shot counts in games aren't accurate; how can a goal be decided in such fashion.
MHOA needs to get its act together. They need to be enforcing the rules and not making them up as they go along. Waving off icings due to score diff, allowing cheap shots on better skaters (a ref has actually told me in advance he would turn a blind eye), missing refs and a general lack of respect for those trying to learn the game is very unprofessional. It really sucks that I do not think we have any other option. MHOA has a monopoly on the gig.
