Suds go down in loss to Blues

Schlitz (p3) vs Blues

Wednesday 4/15

Dedham 9:10pm

4-1 loss

Well folks, it really hasn't been a pretty this season for the suds, and last night's season finale was really no different. U.G.L.Y... you ain't got no alibi ugly. I wasn't for lack of trying. It wasn't for lack of players. I wasn't for lack of desire, but most of the night was an excercise in futility for the Golden Beercans as they were eliminated from the winter playoffs by the Blues.

There was plenty of willing skaters. Jeff Fosdick showed up after working late to make an uneven 14 , but was encouraged to dress as not everyone (Parker) had shown up before the game began. Jeff thanks his D teammates, George, Mike C, DWH, and Mike Daley for being understanding enough to have him.

The forwards were iJosh, Jasse and Capraro; Nelson, Mitch and Scott; and Parker, Blake and Gregson. Mr. Newpads and newoutlook CEO.BMF.Kilroy in the pipes.

The game was pretty close for the first period. We can run with the Blues and usually do. They clearly had their playoff roster intact for the night and they played well. The teams went back and forth and Matty made a few good saves to get warmed up.

It wasn't long however until a nifty player for the Blues took advantage and bounced an unlikely shot off of Matts elbow and back into the net for a cheap 1-0 lead. The Gold tried to double their efforts... without much success.

The Gold would answer.... believe it or not. Jeff Fosdick would pick up a loose puck in at the blue line then would fire a shot that went through traffic, and off Capraro's skate and into the net. Jeff got credit for the goal... but he owes it all to the traffic in front courtesy of Pete and Jasse. Thanks guys. The period would end 1-1 and the Gold was far from discouraged.

The Blues would be the next to score, on a bungled play (a theme) in our own end. The Blues would take a turnover and make a nice pass to a forward camped out right next to Matt who drove it home to take the lead back 2-1. Not much Matty could do on that one either. The Blues would strike again on another give away in our end that resulted in a short break away. A quick move and the score was 3-1. The second intermission was much quieter on the bench than the first.

The third was quite unremarkable aside from the Blues scoreing again in the first 2 minutes. The Gold would continue to try hard but was plagued by mistakes and just never got anything going. That is how this one would end. Not much more to report other than a benalty for Parker and one for Campbell but that was it.

So the sun sets on a quirky, not so fun season for the Schlitz, who look forward to a few weeks rest and a clean slate when the summer season begins.

Shame to see good players like Gregson, Daley, and Herbert go, knowing that they are out for the summer, but we look forward to getting those guys back in the fall.

No Game Stars.

Overheard in the parking lot 1: As Campbell and Jasse loaded Kilroy's truck with toys and baby stuff they are getting rid of... "Jesus Joe they brought their F*cking TOYS with them..."

Overheard in the parking lot 2: "Its kind of a bummer when your rival...doesn't think of you as a rival"

Overheard in the parking lot 3: In regards to the setup of a Schlidaveur Twitter feed for the blog.

Daley:"You could message while on the bench... 'getting smoked 4 nothing right now..."

Parker:"Or while you're playing...' ROMAN! PASS THE PUCK!'"
