Suds eat it against Spartans.

Schlitz (7) vs Spartans
Thursday Nov 15
Hingham 10:20pm


2-1 loss.


A tough one for our gang in Gold. We were uncertain of numbers pregame but ended up with 12 by the time the puck was dropped. Not bad considering that the Spartans had a light turnout, they started with 7 and ended up with 8 total. As I said to Campbell after the first shift.
"That doesn't mean shit."
Indeed it didn't. Despite scoring first and looking good through the first period, somehow we came out on the losing end of this one.
The first goal came well into the first period when Mike Campbell rifled one past their goalie for the early lead. The assist here is murkey... but it looks like the helper came from Jeff Fosdick. The blogger takes no responsibility for his loss of memory. Now... what was I saying? Dr. Pounds has spoken up and he indeed was in on the assist. Thankfully his brain still works.
Oh yes. The Spartans, who decided that they wanted to get a little pissed off at the fact they were losing to us, took their game up a bit. After a contentious scramble in front of OEJ there was some jawing and shoving. Nothing major. Problem was that less than a minute later, the loudmouth who was giving OEJ a problem swatted at the puck, near even with the goal-line and scored. Tie game. Crap.
The Spartans would put up another one in the second and despite the hard work by all involved on the Gold side of things, we just couldn't get the equalizer.
Again the Russian line of Jan Yevmenko, Roman Kurin, and Matvey Nikhamik played well, especailly over the last few shifts. They had several good chances to get one... it just didn't happen. Other forwards were Jeff Fosdick, Mike Jasse, Deb Dalesssio, Scott Pounds, and Dan Gregson.
OEJ had a another solid night, as we've come to expect. The D in front of him was Campbell, DWH, Billy Pearlman, and Greg James (who got a penalty in the third).
No stars for this one.
Definitly one we should have had.
