Schlitz - 4
Cadavers - 1

Another good Schlidaveur team, this time with a healthy turnout that led to both teams skating with 10 a side. Of course we still had a little Goalie availability issue... again, which resulted in Niffty Nelson Sharfman taking to the ice between the pipes for the second week in a row. This time wearing the fine sharp looking colors of the gold. Ah.. .actually he wore a black Cads jersey... I think out of spite. Anyway he looked good... and played good too.

The game started out with the usual items of note, Larry bitching about his roster, finding a place to sit in the spacious and warm locker-rooms, Larry bitching some more, figureing out who was there, Larry still bitching that he's going to lose even though I just gave him my Brother to sub for Blake Underhill... sheesh. It must have been because management had subletted out the roster making duites to iJosh who, in the blogger's opinion, did a fine job. Maybe its just Larry.

So Larry and Nelson and the suds took the ice with DWH, Stephan, Mike Daley, and Mike Hammitt on defense, and Larry, Chris, Roman, Scott, Deb, and Pete Capraro for the offense. It didn't take them long, using thier very strong D as a base to get things going and get on the board early. Larry himself put a nice one past OEJ with helpers given to Chris Foz and Roman.

The Cads were game but not looking too spry in front of OEJ, they had Marc Valenti, Bill Pearlman, Mike Campbell, and Jeff Fosdick on defense behind, Parker, Elliot, Matvey, Gregson, iJosh, and Kenny as the forwards. The Cads kept after it and tried and tried to get some shots on Nelson but the solid D of the Suds wouldn't have it. In fact sub Pete Capraro would put the Suds up by 2 before the end of the 1st period with a goal from Stephan and Scott. The only other item of note in the first was that Matvey for the Cads and Hammitt for the Suds were both called for penalties late in the period. If you sense some foreshadowing here... you might be onto something. We will hear from those two again.

The Second Period was pretty quiet with only 1 goal, another from Pete Capraro (this time from Deb and Mike Daley) providing the only scoring. At this point the Cads were struggling to keep the Zombie Pride going and were trailing 3-0 after two.

It wasn't long into the third period when things got a little more interesting. Matvey scores on a nice rebound from Bill Pearlman and gave the Cads a little hope that they could break through. Of course this was immediatly followed by Hammitt giving Matvey a shove (playfull or not these two had been whacking at each other up and down the ice for most of the night) and fisticuffs ensued. Quickly (thankfully) snuffed out by the lone loudmouth Zebra both guys were told to hit the showers. This didn't go over well for Matvey as he proceeded to "Yard Sale" himself with gloves and stick flying onto the ice in protest. Of course when he first threw his stick it hit off the top of the boards and right back up, smacking him in the helmet.... it just wasn't his moment. Thankfully he stopped short of a complete Ned Braden or even the patented Larry "full ham press" on the glass which no one wanted to see. Unfortunately this was just the opening that our old friend the Coon of Shame has been looking for so....


The Coon of Shame is awarded to Mike Hammitt and Matvey Nikhamik. They can share the award as they have now shared special moments of frustration with each other in now two Schildaveurs. Lets make sure they stay on opposite teams... eh?

Well the game wound down with the only other scoring coming from Dan Herbert (from Larry and Chris) who had a really nice shot from up high. Campbell also took a roughing call on a nice hit that splattered Roman on the backboards, just to make sure he stays in contention for the penalty award. Thats the way this one would end. The Suds take round two and now hold a 2-0 lead in this season's Schildaveur events. Don't forget, Schildaveur number 3 is next Tuesday night in Hingham.

Game Stars.

3rd Star: iJosh for stepping up and playing Roster Man for the night. Nice job seizing the challenge and making the most of it. I thought it worked out great. Thanks.
2nd Star: Pete Capraro. Nice going showing up and playing like a freaking madman all over the ice and netting a pair of goals. Good job dude.
1st Star: Nelson Sharfman. Not only is he willing to play fill in goalie... he freaking wins! Nelson now officially has a GAA of 2.00 for his two games played and he is 1-1. He wasn't tested often last night, but when he was he was all over it. Thanks again Nelson... we all appreciate it.

Overheard on the Cadavers bench: "I don't care what anyone says, that was the BEST goal celebation I've ever seen."

Overheard in the Parking Lot: "Just for future reference.... what is the proper escalation on that play?" This in response to Hammitt's explanation about how things "escalated" between he and Matvey.

Decent turnout for the fourth period... still no eats this season yet.... good beer provided by Scott Pounds and as always Mike Campbell. Thanks boys.






Just a friendly reminder that our State and Local Police Officers are patroling the late night- post hockey roadways and looking for you. One of our teammates had to take a brief time out and have a little conversation with a State Smokey. The conversation didn't last long but it will end up Costing $$$$. So just some friendly advice... keep it under 80....
