One game in the books for each squad.

Game 1 for the Cadavers.
Monday May 7th 7:10pm Quincy vs. The Generals.


6-2 Win!


A nice way to open the season. Backed by star goalie Lizzy, the Red and Black of the skating zombies worked their way to a nice opening game victory in Quincy. An even ten skaters for an early game, featuring several of the new "acquisitions". Welcome to Greg James, Jim Sullivan, Matt Elliott, and Kevin Manning. Kevin makes his return to our ranks after a multi-year absence and turned in a great game at the point lending some much needed stability at the position. Matt opened the season with a first period goal (asst. to Dan H.)to get us going. Nice work from everyone, including the fourth period which was well represented, much to Kevin's satisfaction. "Now this is more like it..." he said gazing into the almost empty cooler at his feet where the 30pack had just recently disappeared.
Ok lets give out some game stars.
1st Star- Jim Sullivan. The new guy scores 2 goals and takes our only penalty of the game, clearly gunning for Larry's spot at the top of the leaderboards. He also had a stellar record with face offs winning almost every one.
2nd Star- Pete Capraro. Pete also turns in a 2 goal perfomance and was seen flying around the offensive zone with his linemates the Fosdick brothers. Nice combination. Great job Pete.
3rd Star- Lizzy. Just because she played great and I can give her the star if I feel like it.
Honorable mentions:
Matt Elliot- Goal and an assist.
Chris Fosdick- Goal and an assist.
Jeff Fosdick- 2 assists.
Dan Gregson- 2 assists.
Point of interest:
This could go down as the night that we lost the " 'coon of shame ". Campbell took it out of his bag " 'cause I can't take it anymore" and we think it may be still be haning in that locker room. More on this as the story develops.


Game 1 for the Schlitz.
Monday May 14th 8;10pm Quincy vs. The Generals

2-0 Win!

Another nice performance to get things going. Started with 9 skaters due to several drop outs but ended up with 10 thanks to the triumphant return of one Mike Hammitt! Mike finally checked his email and got himself going and arrived with about 5 mins left in the second period. The other three defensemen were very glad to see him. The other big news was the return of Larry Bell from the DL. It was really great to have him back. He played a solid D and is starting to get his legs back under him. This game also had a bit of a nervewracking beginning as goalie Mike Gash didn't show, and we had to solicit one of the guys from the game before us. Luckily one of them was willing. And speaking of him.....

1st Star- Raj the Canadian goalie. He not only saves us from what would have been a very disappointing forfit, but he pitches a shutout. I don't think he was tested too often but he had everything they did get through covered like a blanket. Thanks dude...where-ever you are.
2nd Star- Dangerous Dave Spenciner. Yeah! Dave's a killer!" Dave gets the game winner in the second period with a nice wrister. Nice work from Dave and the Russians all night.
3rd Star- Jeff Fosdick. Back to playing defense from the stint at forward the week before. Shortly after the arrival of Mike Hammitt as my partner I held the left point and pinched past the two guys trying to clear. A step and a half inside them and I was able to fire one in the top right corner. Hmm. Satisfying.
Honorable mentions:
The second line of Josh, Ken and Deb did a great job all night and had lots of good chances. My favorite being a "spin-a-rama" Kenny shot that reminded me of Cam Neely...well slower...and much shorter...but you know what I mean.
Points of interest:
Only 2 penalties (neither involving Hammitt) was good for us. Larry was whistled for a high-stick in the third period ( he can't help himself, he has to make the score sheet somehow), and that notorious Ken Goldenberg also took a hooking call in the third.
Overheard in the Parking Lot:
"Wait. Let me get this straight. Your job is to kick college age lesbians out of the bathrooms at the "Independent" on Friday and Saturday nights?"
"Well....yeah."
