Well how do you like that? The last two games to be played at the Prison by the Bay this season by ANY NESHL team's and its a double header starring US and the clinic... both Blue and Maroon. At least we made the most of it and had a good night all the way around by all the reports that have been coming in to the Blogger.
Two big blowout wins against a pair of Clinic squads that really... we should blow out.

Let's give it to the Guest Bloggers...
Matvey on Game 1: we had 12 skaters to start and then Nelson came in a little late, so we went with 3 full lines from the middle of the first period. Line that I was on was: Roman, Jasse and myself.
Then one line was centered by Nelson, I think he had Matt Eliot on a line and another center was Mike Daley. Scott, Peter and Killroy were the other wings.
D: Mike Campbell, Marc Valenti one pair
and then Dan and Dan another pair.
I think we started slowly, but it was 9-0 or so close to the end of the game and then they got several chance and magaged to score one late.
Final score was 9-1.
Scoring plays:
Our line had a good chemistry with Roman stepping by passing the puck :)
I scored a goal that was assisted by Roman and Jasse.
Jasse made a very nice pass to Roman who took a quick shot, but shot it into the sprawling goalie. I got to the rebound in time to flip it over the goalie.



Another goal was a nice play, Roman passing me the puck, I send it Jasse's way and Mike just flipped it behind the goalie.

One scoring play was Campbell taking a good shot from the point after getting a puck from Roman.

One more, Nelson winning a face off and in the same motion passing it to Eliott who took a quick shot and beatthe goalie.
There was one small altrecation and Peter was sent to the box as part of matching penalties. I think Peter was just trying to pick up some PIMs to get on a goon squad for the next Schlid.

Nice recap. Now we'll get some thoughts from Dr. Jasse:

Greg James-Freight Train Down the lane. A forward in a D's body. Played hard all night.Kept jumping into the o-zone with the puck and creating opportunities.

Mike Campbell was his usual hard-chargin' self. A bullet of a wrist shot for a goal. Lot of talking out there to his teammates; we need more players to communicate like he does.

Nelson-He only had like 17 goals I think. Played ass off as usual. Always setting the tone for his line-mates.

Matt Kilroy-some spectacular passes (one behind his back from his but). Set Pete C up with a sweet pass for a WIDE open net that.....well, we all remember Glen Wesley vs the Oilers.

Brian the goalie. Got some good zzzzz's the first game but played very solid in the second.

Marc V-what a cannon. When he has the puck at the blue line I'm usual camped out in front of the net in prayer, "Please don't hit me." Very solid 2-way game.

Thought Mike Hammit skated very well-continuous to get low hard shots on net or make plays from the point.The Russians-Brialliant passing and playmaking. They set me up for mine that my grandmother could have finished.

Excellent work. Major Kudos to both Matvey and Jasse and everyone else that chimed in with some info. I'm finishing this a long time after the fact so that's going to do it for this one. I leave you with some lasting momentos of our least favorite league venue...that with any luck we shall never visit again.
