In a couple of weird developments - Joe Quinn was able to get an amendment passed counting tournament goals in the career totals from this year forward; and a lightning storm apparently sent some very demeaning texts out to people. Who knew?
Jason's penalty shot!
Game 1 Saturday afternoon the Steam wins 7-6 as Eric scores on a break-away with 2.5 seconds left for the win. Eric and Shane with 2 goals, Jason with 3.
As Craig would say - guys that drink PBR "are men." As PBR was the only beer supplied this year, and there was 6 hours between games.....game 2 started good, but ended badly in a 7-2 loss. Joey and Shane lit the lamp.
Pool championship against the team that beat us - insane effort from the Steam. Down 2-1, we get two late 2nd period goals to to take a 3-2 lead and hold down the fort in a scoreless 3rd for the win. Shane, Joey, and Eric all get on the board.
The line-up:
Terry (G) - good tourney and great on Saturday in net, despite both knees being swollen like grapefruits. Four goal allowed in the last 2 games made all the difference.
Randy (D) - typically solid, and added stunning levels of beer drinking and nudity that would have made Frank and Reegan proud.
Josh (D) - all over the place on the ice, nice effort. Still a Wings fan though!
Brian (D) - solid three games at wing and defense and was the only guy that could silence the locker room by telling us he'd miss the last game due to a Sarah Maclachlan concert. It took a while for us to realize he was serious.
Ted (D) - late sub (Thanks Shane) who is a chowderhead and typically the best D-man in our C-3 league (maroon breezers on the Buzzards). A very solid addition.
Joe Quinn (D) - played defense, center and wing. Nice versatility, amendment and goal.
Stephen (W) - big winner in the raffle, nice goal on Saturday morning and great hustle on the game winner in the championship.
Frank (W) - off skates for a while, still looked solid and had the beautiful pass to Eric for the championship goal.
Bill (W) - quality work on the weekend playing the grinder role on a skill line.
Joey (W) - nice weekend with 2 goals including the game-tying goal in the final.
Jason (C) - typically great all weekend with 5 goals, shook off an obvious concussion in the final and played superb defense - made the play on Joey's tying goal.
Joe W. (W) - played a simple game, get puck and pass to Shane. Also dominated the classic parking lot game Moolky!
Shane (W) - gets the GM award for recruiting Ted, and oh yeah, added 7 goals on the weekend. Also nice enough to write "glory hole" on his payment check!
Eric (C) - probably our MVP of the weekend as he had about 7 or 8 assists, and 4 goals -including both game-winners in the one-goal games. Nice work E-5!
Nice work boys. Great weekend and our first title at the tourney!
