Schlitz (6) vs Tigers Monday June 15th
Canton 8:00pm
2-1 Win!
Here are some excellent guest blog comments on the game from Monday night. Sounds like a really good game for the good guys against a team that usually gives us fits. Here are your story lines from the guys who were there.
Lets start off with a nice contribution from Larry Bell:
Last night we earned a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Tigers. We had some new recruits who played a vital role on defense - my friend Matt Parabicoli, and Lizzie's friend Adam. They were 
the two best skaters on the ice, and controlled the play from D. The Tigers had #8 and some scrappers on offense but their time in our zone was limited.
The lines were:
D1: Steve and Adam
D2: Mark and Matt
Nelson and I were the two centers with wing pairs:W1: Matvey and Roman
W2: Hammit and Angry Ken
W3: Dr Pounds and Howard
Schlitz struck first in period 1 - Adam (unassisted). I didn't see the goal, but this guy had no problems skating the puck into the Tigers zone and getting shots off all night. Matvey nearly put us up 2-0 on the PK as heintercepted the puck deep in the Tigs zone, moved into the slot and ripped a shot right into the goalie's midsection.
The Tigers came back to tie it up in the second. Their was a
delayed penalty on the Suds and the Tiger's goalie went off the ice for an extra skater. The gold were running around in our own zone when a shot from the point was deflected in by a high stick. Apparently the refs did not see whose stick it deflected off, so they allowed the goal and negated the penalty.
Between the 2nd and 3rd, the little ref was giving me some pointers on my skating. This paid off early in the third as I broke in 2-1 with Roman. I tried to pass across to Roman who was knocked down by the D and went sprawling toward the net. The Tiger's D-man gave the puck right back to me and my second pass attempt went into the net for a 2-1 lead. We held on for a 2-1 win.
Those vying for the Campbell award included Mark for Interference in the 1st and Roman for a high stick in the 2nd."
Thanks Larry! Great work.

Here is Dr. Pounds with another excellent recap
"Bottom line was a 2-1 win us. Their goalie was good. We had many chances in tight. Our goalie was better. The only score against us comes with an asterisk. The Tigers got the puck in deep 
with numbers and got a couple of chances, then the puck was put in from the point - shoulder high – and one of the Tigers batted at it and it bounced down and in. Clearly a high stick, and the goal was initially called off. After the refs talked it over, though, they let the goal stand. It seems that one ref clearly saw the high stick but could not tell which player was wielding said lumber, so it could have been the Schlitz. It wasn’t, believe me. The other ref only saw the puck go in.
Lizzie had one save that would have made the ESPN highlight reel. A Tiger ripped off a pretty good low shot from just inside the blue line that was headed for the near post. Lizzie kicked it up and out of the rink. In the old Garden it would have had a chance to make it into the balcony.
One of the refs was good enough to give Larry some skating tips. Something about moving your limbs forward and not so much side to side. Ten Lady Byng points to Larry for letting that go.
We ended up with no waters, but Adam brought a 30 pack of Bud Light into the locker room, so we were able to rehydrate properly after the game."
... Thanks Doc. Great job as always.

Here's Captain Mark Reynolds with a few comments to add.
Gold controlled the play for ¾ game and had lots of opps.
The Tiger’s lone goal was up for dispute. A Tiger high stick knocked it in, but the zebras were confused and awarded the point, 1-1. No worries for the Gold. We knew we’d get another, and we did.
Game stars: #3 – Larry
#2 – Adam
#1 – Lizzy – another great game inside the pipes – and did not utter any profanity
I find that last one hard to believe... but sound good.

Thanks guys and great job all night. Wait... Lizzy has something to add here too...
"From last nights game Howie should be first star. He worked hard and
played awesome and had at least a hat trick of shots, although I think he had more. He will be scoring many goals soon. He also brought his wife April who was a great fan!"

Well alright... a nice shout out from our Lady of the Nets... Thanks Liz.
