Zombies fall to Suckas

Cadavers (17) vs Windsuckers
Monday February 1st
Bavis Arena 9:20pm




4-1 loss



A cold Monday night on the South Shore for a tough division matchup with the pesky 'suckas, this one would suffer from being the same night as the Beanpot which would reduce the roster size considerable. Despite that Team Zombie showed and played hard against the Blowhards and it sounded like a hard fought game.
Once again the Blogger doffs his hat to another Guest Blogger for this game story, this time from dependable (on ice and off) Mark Reynolds who gives us a nice rundown of the action. Without further ado... Here's Mark:


4- 1 loss to the Windsuckas

Defense: Valenti – DWH – George
Forwards: Baker – Pounds – Matvey – Goodie – Chuck - Reynolds
Net: Lizzy

The Red started out with 8 skaters. Then, Goodie showed up after visiting the wrong rink (aka the Greg James syndrome), but arrived in the second as a huge and much needed relief.

The Suckas had us vastly outnumbered, but it didn’t faze the Red. We played a tough game and moved the puck reasonably well. They had a few guys that most wouldn’t consider “D leaguers” which accounted for their goals and generally gave us some trouble.

Steve Baker scored the lone goal on an extra effort by jamming the rebound past their “rent- a-goalie”, who happened to be far superior to the usual goalies we face. The Red had lots of high-quality shots on goal, but we just couldn’t beat him with anything.

Our defensive trio won most of their battles in the corners and our forwards passed well and did a good job of controlling the puck in the offensive end.

As for Lizzy, she played a kick-ass game. She stopped a number of high velocity shots and didn’t give up any rebounds. Way to go Lizzy!

Penalties: Matvey for tripping in the second immediately followed by Reynolds for slashing one of Suckas non-D league players (#5). Yes, I totally got my money’s worth.

Valenti tangled with #5 later in the game and gave him a WWF style body slam…simply outstanding. #5 went to the bin and Valenti remained on the ice, much to the chagrin of the Suckas.

Without their “rent-a-goalie”, the Red would have fared better. We’ll get em’ next time for sure.
