Cads crushed by Cones

Cadavers (5) vs Streetcones

Sunday June 14th

Quincy 7:50pm

6-1 loss.

A tough night at the rink for the Dead in Red against a crew we haven't played often, and have certainly not had much luck against. The Cones had at least 2 full plus some and clearly have played together for a while. They are your typical High-D team with a few very good players and a bunch of grinders like us. Notabley the defense, especially the dude with the yellow helmet were excellent and proved to be more than a match for the Dead in Red.

The Dead had a good turn out but were short on regular defensemen again. Mike Hammitt and George manned one pair while Jeff and Kevin Parker (when he arrived) manned the other. Forwards included Chris, Nelson, iJosh, Ken, Neil Shah, Larry, Pete, Howard, ..... crap... I have to go find the game notes. Matt in Net.

Here is what it boiled down to. Matt played a great night in net. We were only losing 1 or 2-0 after the first, and only 3-0 after 2 periods. The Red played reasonably well but were clearly fighting an uphill battle against a good team. As soon as we made a few mistakes they jumped all over us and took advantage. The first one Jeff failed to clear and the guy just pounded it home from short range, the second was a wicked shot on a short breakaway... or something like that.
The good news is we did crack the Orange end and Nelson (who else) scored in the third to make it 4-1 at the time... I think.

As the game wore on, our old legs got the best of us and before the end it was 6-1 and looking pretty grim for the Cadavers. Only a few trips to the box and not much to speak of there. All around a dis-satisfying night at the rink.

Kudos to Mike Hammitt, and I think Neil for beer after the game. Good night of summer hockey...even CEO Kilroy found out what all the hype over BL Lime was....

Any and all comments welcome... sorry about the late post.
