I Leauge. Week 8 Recap

3 Stars

1. Josh Briscoe- Stingers: 1 Goal/1 Assists (GWG). 3-1 Stingers win a huge playoff against the pats.
2. Todd Smith- Blue Devils: 3 Penalties, thuggery, and game ejection rally the Blue Devils to 6-3 win.
3. Matt Osbourne- Fugaweez: 2 Goals, Assist. Runs over what was thought to be a strong Komets Defense.


Goalie of the week: David Blubaugh: Stingers. 26 Saves on 27 Shots. Stingers 3-1 win.Total Eclipse would be proud.


Stingers 3 Patriots 1
In what was a very hyped up game, the playoff destinies of both team lay in the balance. However the Stingers had Hockey messiah Josh Briscoe, who arrived back in town from the Holy Land late Saturday afternoon. (we are not kidding, the dude was in London on Saturday morning). The Stingers would go up 2-0 on a Mike Best Goal and a Josh Briscoe goal. Patriots would rally in the third on a wicked Jeff Vaughan puppy slaying wrist shot. Patriots turned the heat up in period throwing 13 of their 27 shot at David Blubaugh who was solid in net. Tom Candalino scored to bury the dagger in the Patriots on a one timer from the blue line. After being checked repeatedly in the game, but yet still scoring, Briscoe said, "I am the Hockey Messiah, don't you ever forget that). That's the last time we check the chosen one.

Blue Devils 6 Puckers 3
Todd Smith Goonery was forecasted as the make or break aspect of this game, and he performed flawlessly. Smith's abrasiveness led to his ejection in the 2nd period, but the Blue Devils rallied around this and secured their place in the championship game. Blue Devils fell behind early on a goal from "Andrew" to put the puckers up one. Blue Devils retaliation was mighty as they score six unanswered goals. "Scott"?, "Dan"?, Chris Zolle, David Loggins all scored while Mark Cameron scored twice. The Puckers had two goals from "John" and from Ryan Rintala to make the Score 6-3 Blue Devils, but too much. Blue Devils advance to the keg for a second straight season. The Komets stand in their way of Glory.

Fugaweez 5 Komets 4 (SO)
Fugaweez pull off a nice little upset with a shootout win over the keg game bound komets. Patrick Steward scores as does Glenn Engelhoffer, while Matt Osbourne scores twice. We dont have the shootout winner. Blast. The komets were matching Fugs in goal for goal almost as the great outspoken Sean Keirr scored twice as did the great Chris Gallagher. Komets will have their hands full with the blue devils next week.

Mayhem 6 Spiders 3
Mayhem absolutely abolishes the spiders in this one. The always dangerous conner brothers strike 3 times in this one (one we heard was from outside the blue line). Greg Mersberger, Ryan Smith, and Dr Karim "abdul" Jamal also scored in this bloody show of force. Spiders did try to make a game of it with two goals from Chris Gallagher and one from Andrew Patti. Spiders will take on the Patriots for 3rd place next week, while Mayhem vs Stingers will be a game for the ages.

Leftovers 3 Shockers 2
Leftovers avoid the no-win season with a nice little win over the shockers what was described by many has a thug fest. No confirmation on this though. Both team matched each other for goal in this one: Bryan Vosquil score was followed up by a "Bill" score for the Leftovers. A Jason Howell score for the shockers was then answered by an "AJ" goal midway through the 3rd. It would be AJ again who would be the hero to give the leftovers their first win of the season, as he scores with 36 seconds remaining in regulation. Good Game.

Borrachos 2 Stickmen 0
Superb goaltending by stickmen's keeper David Blubaugh kept this one from being 8-0. Jim Stuckeman scores twice, while the Borrachos denied any attempt at stickmen scoring. Checking was abundant and quite glorious, the way hockey is meant to be played. Hoorah! Speaking of checking and devastation, the Borrachos are matched up against the Warriors next week...oh joy. 

Brewzers 4 Spiders Plat 2
Brewzers almost surrendered a 2 goal lead in the thrid period, however are able to rally and deal another heart breaking loss to the Spiders. (the lack of last names on the score sheets is killing us)...Matt, Brit, Rob and illegible score for the brewzers (individual stats probably wont be taken next season), while Patti Greco and Whitney Freeman score for the spunky spiders squad. Jeff Vaughan observed this game from afar and said it was a game best watched with a flask by your side.

Warriors 2 Ice Holes 1
A defensive struggle in this one (when is any game with the ice holes not?) Warriors get two goals from Travis Lehr, both assisted by Damon Lacey. While the Ice Holes get their goal from Jason Junker. Warriors had a lead going into the third, only erased by the Ice Holes' goal. But lehr's goal with under two minutes was the savior for the warriors in this one.

(lack of creative recaps will be forgotten by next week's masterpiece for preview/recap for playoffs)

The Jeff Vaughan goal was nice, for the Pat's. Goalie was screened and he roofed it from distance.

What's the over/under on penalty minutes in the Warriors-Borrachos game?

Who will sit down and feel the most shame the in the penalty box?

It appears Warriors management is just real thirsty for a big, grudge-match type victory.

The goal that was scored by Ryan Smith in the Mayhem game was a mistake. That goal was really scored by Matt Katchelhosselsnuffaluffagus, and the score keeper made a mistake. BUT if you would like to add my 3 assists to my stats, I promise I will not Bitch about it.
