Suds sink the minus... weak revenge.

Schlitz(2) vs D-Minus
Thursday May 13
Hingham 10:10pm

8-4

The league called up and offered us a "bonus" game of sorts, so the Dead in Red..err Golden Beercans threw together a roster and met up with the D-Minus over in Hingham for a late evening engagement. This was the same club that beat the Cads in the one game playoff game at the end of last season. That night they had an epic goaltender and really stole on from the Red, so there was a thought of retribution in some minds as we took the ice.
Heres the Roster
Lizzy in Net
D1: Brian Carey; Mike Campbell
D2: Jeff Fosdick; DWH
O Centers: Jason Seaver, Neil Shah
O Wings: Roman, Matvey, Capraro, Gregson, Baker, and John Carey

This one would be a bit wild, and it didn’t start particularly well. The Minus would take the opening face off, walk into our zone and let loose a low skidding shot that slowly rolled right at Lizzy, right under her and into the net for a 1-0 lead just 20 seconds in.

The Gold shook their heads and headed back up ice. Thankfully new star center Jason Seaver would tie the game less than 30 seconds later and it was clear we were in for a long night.

The Gold would follow with a goal from Matvey assisted by DWH and Neil, then an unassisted tally from John Carey for a 3-1 lead pretty early on. Neil would get one of his own on a return the favor pass from Matvey and the first period would end 4-1 good guys. It was clear that the talent in Net for the Minus was well off from the playoff performance.

Steve Baker would take a roughing penalty in the second, and Neil would go for a hook (totally suspect call) in the third and that was all the penalty minutes for the Gold.
D-Minus would score another early in the period to close to 4-2 but the Beercans would answer with another run. Goals from DWH, assisted by Neil, then Neil assisted by Brian Carey, would keep a healthy lead for the good guys. D-Minus would score their third somewhere in there but Neil would complete the Hat-trick before the end of the period, this one from Matvey again. So into the third we would go 7-3.

The third would prove to be the quietest period of the night scoring wise with a goal a side. Roman would knock one home from Mike Campbell that would seal the deal at 8-4. That’s how it would end and in the second half of the game it was a lot closer than it had been in the early going. It will be interesting to see if their goalie situation changes at all when we see this club later in the season.

Game Stars
3^rd Star: Dan "DWH" Herbert for a pair of assists and yet another excellent game of defense
2^nd Star: Matvey Nikhamik for a goal and 2 helpers and a very solid game all around

1^st Star: Neil Shah. A hat-trick along with 2 assists for a terrific five point night.

The Fourth period would be sponsored by beverage contributions from Gregson and Campbell which were tasty and pleasant to enjoy after a 8 goal winning night.

There were unconfirmed reports about Campbell and Fosdick racing to the bottom of his cooler of ice cold Budlights… but they hadn’t seen each other in a while and its amazing really they could drink that much beer between the two of them never shutting up for 2 seconds.

Good win boys and girls.
