Suds Punish D Minus after Traffic Debacle

Schlitz (14) vs D-Minus

Tuesday August 11th

Canton 10:10pm

9-1 Win

This was a strange one on a hot night in Canton. Apparently there was a car fire right before the 139 exit off of route 24 that cause major problems. Poor iJosh was reduced to updating his Facebook status from his cellphone... chatting with Ken as they sat next to each other in traffic (in their own cars) then turning around and going home having missed the game for all his trouble.

Sounds like it took its toll on ours and Dminus' roster so things came out even. Nice to play a "weaker" team on a night like this. Nice to see those numbers on the scoreboard for us. Here are some quick Guest blog comments. First from Capt. Mark Reynolds:

"Not much of a game last night. An overwhelming 9-1 win for the Suds.
About 1/2 the team for both sides didn't make it to the game due to a car fire on Rt. 24.

We played with 5 skaters for 1/2 of the fist period until replacements arrived. No one complained about not enough ice time.

The Suds took a few penalties on BS calls, but it didn't impact the game.

Congrats to H.H. for scoring his first goal!"

Thanks Mark. Friends Mark happend to leave out that he had a FIVE GOAL NIGHT. That news would come in from our man Larry Bell who would submit this recap of the night's fun:

"I got there just as the game was starting after sitting in traffic for 1/2 hour on 24 about 1 mile from the exit. Apparently there was a car fire, but it was extinguished by the time I passed by. Campbell, Steve, Howard, Mark and Scott were our only 5 skaters at the time and Brian was in net. George and Hammitt made it onto the ice by the start of the second, for a strong 8. I think D- had about 10, but it didn't matter. We were in their zone all night and peppered their goalie who held down the fort as best he could. But, he could only do so much, they are a truly bad team.

Scoring Summary
1st: Heppleman 1 - unasst, Baker 1 - unasst, Baker 2 - unasst
2nd: Reynolds 1 - unasst, Reynolds 2 - Campbell, Reynolds 3 - unasst
3rd: Reynolds 4 - Hammitt, Reynolds 5 - George, Baker 3 - unasst.

9 goals, 3 assists - another stellar night by the refs and scorekeeper...

Penalties
1st: Baker - Penalty Shot for D-, stopped by BCare.
2nd: Campbell - Tripping, Campbell - Tripping

Good work boys. Sorry about the rough traffic... but I'm glad to hear about the outcome.

Lets hope we draw this crew for the first round of the playoffs for one of the teams.
