Zombies Break Winless Streak! Shutout win over Lobsters!

Cadavers (3) vs. Lobsters

Monday 10/15

BU 9:30pm

2-0 Win!

A close game, a good roster, and just enough Zombie Pride to get us through. A tight game against a fully foritfied Lobsters crew that played well. They might have had 3+ lines, but they have picked up some talent over the years. The Lobsters came after us, and thankfully, the Red held firm.
Backstopped by the man.... Dr. Zero... O.E.J. the Red got off to an early lead when Larry Bell scored a few minutes into the first period on an assist by constantly working hard Nelson Sharfman. This slim lead would have to hold for a long time as there was no further scoring until late in the third period.

The game went back and forth, the Lobsters continued to take it to the Zombies shift after shift as seemingly the Zombies legs wore thin. It wasn't long into the second period that the Red made the first of many trips to the penalty box.

Led by newcomer (and did I mention solid player) Mike Daley was called for a hold. The Red killed that penalty off smartly but it wasn't long before we had more trouble. Larry made two trips to the sin bin later in the period... both PKs were sucessful.

So into the third we went 1-0 lead hanging precariously in the balance. The trips to the box didn't stop as George Moorachian, then Roman Kurin, and then Matvey Nihkamik all made special visits to the Zebra funbox.

The Zombie Pride was showing here though as we killed off each successive penalty and continued to limit the chances on OEJ, who was naturally solid when he needed to be. George's partner Mike Campbell also played strong (and not from the box... ) down the stretch.

The forwards finally turned the momentum back on the Lobsters as Chris Fosdick scored on a nice hard work play deep, late in the third again with Nelson on the helper. Finaly some insurance and the Red were able to put this one away.
Of course Larry made one more trip to the box ( on a delay of game.... falling on the puck like a ... what was it... oh yes... "legless turtle") to earn his ejection during the final minute of play.

Good showing from the skating dead. Everyone played well...even if our effort flagged at times during the game. Good job. Nice to get the first W.

Game Stars.

3rd Star: Tie. Larry Bell for the goal to put us up early... and Chris Fosdick for the goal to seal it. Keep up the good work guys... we'll need to see more of that "finishing touch".

2nd Star: Nelson Sharfman. The "Cagey Vet" continues to put on a clinic every week about how to work hard and continue to make scoring chances. Great work as always.

1st Star: No doubt with that 0 next to the opponents score. Mike Gash... OEJ. This was not as "challenging" a shutout for him, but hey they all look the same on the scoresheet. Great job Mike, being there when we needed it.

REMEMBER.... 2 more games this week.

Both at UMass... Weds night and Thurs night

Both at 10:30pm

See you then.
