Zombies vs Windsuckers Early game

CADAVERS (6) vs WINDSUCKERS

Mon, November 9th

UMASS 7:00

3-1 Win!

This was game one for what will hopefully be our last double header night... and really hopefully the last we see of U Malcatraz....

The early game saw the flying Zombies taking on the Windsuckers, a group we haven't played in a while. They had some players with skill, but not a ton and the game was a good, hard fought, hard skating affair that bordered on getting a bit out of hand at times with the chippyness but ultimately resulted in a very nice win for Team Zombie.
The roster looked like this.
Matt CEO/BMF Kilroy in the Net
D1: Campbell, Valenti

D2: DWH, Jeff
O1: Nelson, Larry, Reynolds
O2: Jasse, Capraro, and Baker
O3: Elliot, Gregson, and Matvey

The game was chippy pretty much from the start. There was no question the 'Suckas were going to show plenty of "give and take" during the game. They also had no problem squawking about just about everything. Finally we play a team that mouths off to the Zeebs... though somehow when looking at the score sheet it doesn't seem that they had any more penalties that we did.
The teams settled in and went right after each other. It wasn't long before that wicked first line of Larry, Nelson and Mark Reynolds would make something happen.
Mark held the puck and fed Nelson who was working his way down low by the net. Nelson takes the puck, the defenseman hangs on him like a cheap suit, to which the Cagey Vet literally tosses him off and into the boards then fires a pass to Larry who buries the shot for the first goal. Check me on that... the scoresheet says Nelson scored it but I do remember the move on the back boards and the feed pass...
Again the chippyness shows and gets ratcheted up. Jeff tangled with #4 from the 'Suckas and took a holding call as a result. The Red killed the penalty very nicely and shortly after they had another chance.
This time Jeff made a rush into the offensive end, then fed Larry who again was hanging out in the high slot. Larry's shot was solid but deflected, all to the better as it found the twine over the keeper's right shoulder. 2-0 Red. Capraro would go for a roughing before the end of the first.
The second period was a whole lot of back and forth. Matty made some great stops, on two, count 'em breakaway chances. The Red would take a pair of penalties Larry for a hook and Valenti for a rough. Valenti's might have been a match but I can't recall.
The Third would again see more of the same. Bitching from the White, chippy play all over the place, great stops by Matty, and good chances from the Red. About halfway into the period Dr. Jasse would take a feed from Mike Campbell who had made a very nice rush up ice, and Jasse roofed the shot for the 3-0 lead. This was great because the good Doctor's wife and daughter, the lovely Beth and Madison were in the house to watch the game. I dont think they actually saw the goal... but they knew it happened and it was nice to have a couple of fans... even if they were mostly reading Madison's favorite chunky books.
Campbell would go for an interference call... a situation where both he and the 'sucka he bumped were looking at something else and they ended up in a pile. Of course the Zeebra still felt the need to put Mike in the box... I guess just 'cause he was so much bigger than the other guy. I'm telling you... nobody gets more minutes because of his size than Campbell...
The game would go into the final five minutes with the White desperate to score to break up the shutout. Unfortunately they were able to finally break through with just under 3 minutes to play.
That would leave just the straggling minutes of frustration for the 'suckas. The scumbag that had tangled with Pete, Jeff, Matt Elliot, and had slashed Matt during the game decided it was time for one good cheep shot before the end. He took the opportunity to hit Jeff from behind against the boards in a blatant DOUCHEBAG move. Of course the pussy skated away so by the time Jeff was on his feet the guy was almost back to his bench and being escorted to the box. A true pussy move from #4, Mr. No face mask... the scoresheet says his name is Boyajriar... whatever... we know what he is. A coward. Keep you head up for the next time we play scumbag. Ok thats enough of that... the blogger is still smarting this morning.

So during a stop-over on the way home at the Dr. Jasse residence...
From Mrs. Jasse who watched the game with... limited interest: "Was that the gay team you played?" Yes Beth... judging by the amount of bitching from them... yes it was.
