Schlidaveur Rd 1 goes to...your sistah. 1-1 Tie!

Cadavers(3) vs Schlitz(3) Canton June 1 9:30pm 1-1 tie.
They say ties are like kissing your sister....well there you have it. You bunch of sister kissers ended up all knotted up at 1 on Friday night. Sounded like a good turnout and a fun game up and down the ice. Your humble blogger was more than a little upset at not being there. However...the news of the night was this. Back from his tour of Europa and the "sub-continent" on the back of a wobbly red tandem bike...administrator extrodinaire Matthew Kilroy! Yee haw. Welcome back Matty.

Matt wins 1st star of the game honors for a surprise skate, the pizzas for fourth period and for overall being a nice guy. Way to go Matt.
2nd Star of the game goes to Pete Capraro. By all accounts a nice goal to tie the game on a feed from D.J. Pete was boosted into second place by his involvment in the game's most celebrated incident. More on that later....
3rd Star goes to "Dangerous" Dave Spenciner! A nice goal while camped out front. Why is Dave "dangerous"? CUZ HE SCORES! Way to be there Dave.

Honorable Mention 1: Both goalies. Nice job giving up only 1 to both of you. Mike...nice to have you back dude. By all accounts you both had very solid games.

Honorable Mention 2: Mike Jasse. Way to go bringing your camera and providing the early pics from this game. Thanks man....your blogger friend is in your debt.

Incident of the Game: Goes to "Rampaging Hulk-like" Stephan Wennik! I didn't see it but accounts of Stephan's "massive" hit on Pete Capraro have been burning up my inbox all day.

Here is one report...."At the end of the 3rd period with the score tied 1-1, Stefan thought he saw Pete taking some liberties with a teammate in the Schlitz crease. Thinking of all the hacks and slashes Pete had dealt him throughout the game, he charged in from the blue line and hit him with a nice high cross check. The ref somehow thought this deserved a penalty."

Another from Pete himself: "I was sitting on the bench taking a sip from my water bottle 40 seconds after the whistle blew, when out of nowhere mild mannered Clark Kent turned into the raging incredible Hulk and unleashed his fury upon me, doing a Pete Rose across the boards into my upper torso, resulting in significant dishevelment."

I'll let it go this time but dude...the Hulk's alter ego was Dr. Bruce Banner. Sheesh.

A victim of Caprapo's "enthusiasm" had this to say: "...the only thing that I'd add is a bit of context on the Stephan vs Pete hit toward the end of the game. Pete had high/lowed me over his goalie (mike) b/c I had hooked him a few minutes earlier (and gotten away w/ it). Pete's comment at the time was something like, "don't worry about it; I'll get you back..." So when pete had the chance to take me out, he did. Stephan saw the hit and rushed in to come to my aid. His hit on pete was both devastating and perfectly timed. In the end, we all came up smiles."

Finally my favorite account..."Stefan CLOCKED Pete Capraro-the hit came out of nowhere and sent Pete sprawling. Kudos to Pete for not retailiating....but Stefan should keep his head up during the next game!"

Indeed those boys are guaranteed to be playing opposite each other in the future.

Glad to hear everyone had fun and the 4th period was very well represented with a parking lot departure for several after 1am. Way to go team.

Overheard in the parking lot: " I used this poncho to keep the beer cold..."

Chris Foz and Larry on a rush.....

Post goal congrats for Dave
