8-4 Win!

A nice win against the CH Terriers who were dressed in Purple and calling themselves the Windsuckers. Almost the same exact roster of guys (and 2 girls) who hung it on us back in May. They had their spiffy skaters again, but this time we had a few of our own. They have a no-face shield guy up front and a young guy (wearing one teal sock and #7) who have the goods. We recruited a player from a previous game (things were looking very thin in the locker room just before game time) to round us out to 10 players. The sub, a guy named Steve, and sub/regular Kevin Parker added some nice depth and made it quite a competitive contest. Nice up and down action for most of the game. Kevin and Steve accounted for 5 of our 8 goals, but management has absolutely no "ringing" regrets given the way these guys stuck it to us last time.

We have Lizzy and her seemingly endless connections to thank for the addition of Steve. Big ups to her. Steve was one of those guys that skates so smooth it looks like he isn't even trying. He's welcome back anytime....

Kevin Parker played great with 4 goals skating on a forward line with Larry (3 assists) and Matvey (2 goals). Nine points is pretty good guys. Looks like we are going to have to give Kevin his own place on the stat sheet given that he just jumped up into first place in scoring. Nice work dude....I think we'll keep ya.

The second forward line was made up of Scott, iJosh, and Ken. They put in some excellent shifts, getting good solid chances, and making the other guys work. iJosh had a goal, Scott had an assist, and Ken drew 2 penalties and took 1 (+1 for the night...). I think Ken will be feeling the second one today for a while. Good work out there.

Our gal Lizzy returned to form with a very solid performance. She made a number of nice stops and even came out and played the puck a couple of times. Great job babe, nice to have you back.

The defense pairings were Steve and George M., and Jeff F. with Mike Hammit. Hammit did a good job not touching anyone or anything after taking his second penalty just a minute or two into the second period. Nice to see you finish the game partner. George had a great night with a pair of assists but had to leave early with a little problem.

Seems that late in the third George knocked down a puck with his glove but it caught him just right and basically "blew up" the end of his finger. He went to the bench streaming blood like a true hockey player (pleasing the hockey gods...no doubt) but called it a night. After some nice help from Kevin and Steve (those guys did everything last night) getting the wound bandaged up he went off to get it looked at. Let's hear from George about how the rest of the night went.

" I was at the Mount Auburn Emergency room until 3:00 AM this morning. The diagnosis: avulsion of the finger tip with significant skin loss (found the skin in my glove later). The finger tip bone is also broken. Only got 5 stitches. Could have had double that, easily. However, there wasn't much viable skin to stitch. It's like my finger tip blew up...weird. The docter really had to think about how and what he was going to stich. The ER essentially stabilized the wound to try and save as much tissue as possible, and used a clotting agent to stop the bleeding where there was no skin. I have a follow-up appointment with a hand specialist today, to see if there is anything else that can or needs to be done.
...Please thank Kevin and Steve for me for the first aid after the game, in the blog. I don't know how I would have driven to Watertown without the temporary bandage. I would have bled all over my car."

Just excellent. George gets the highest marks available as far as the blogger is concerned.

Lets do the game stars.

3rd Star: Matvey Nikhamik and Larry Bell. Matvey did a nice job with 2 goals and hard work all night. Like wise for Larry with his 3 assists.

2nd Star: Kevin Parker. He just keeps producing. 7 goals, 3 assists for 10 total points in only 4 games played. That is a ridiculous 2.5 PPG. Great work.

1st Star: Has to be George "The Bleeder" Moorachain. Hope you recover soon. You can tape it up and still play...right...?
