Cads continue to roll against El Tigre... again.

Cadavers (4) vs Tigers
Monday 6/6
Quincy 7:00pm

4-2 win


Another Stanley Cup night on the schedule for the Dead in Gold against redundant opponent the Tigers resulted in another win keeping the early season streak alive for the Cadavers. An 7pm start time led to a few late arrivals but in general everyone made it to the bench in the early going. Really it was a good thing as it allowed everyone to get their skate on and get home, or to the bar, or to their buddies house to watch the B's take the 'Nucks apart at the seams later that night.
But first the Dead in Gold had the Tigers (again) to deal with on the Quincy sheet.
Here's your roster
Jon Cole in net (and his folks in the stands)
D1: George and Bauer
D2: Campbell and Fosdick
O1: Sully, Roman, and Nelson
O2: Daley, Greggy and Elliot
(not really sure of that breakdown... things got pretty mixed up during the game)

The early going would be the predictable, if not really redundant at this point even matchup with decent chances at both ends. Jon Cole would have the chance to show of his excellent netminding for Mom and Dad (in town from Nevada) as he turned aside several good chances that the Red would throw his way in the first. The Gold kept it together though and once Roman and Daley made it to the bench things on offense started to percolate.

Jim Sullivan would take a nice rush into the red zone as time wound down in the first. He would hit streaking Matt Elliot (not naked) on the opposite post and Matty would wrist it home for the 1-0 lead literally as time expired. A daggah for sure. A side note here as Matty has certainly found the offense lately notching his 2nd goal and 4th point in the early going.

The second would see the games only penalty as Mike Campbell would go for a trip after taking a guy out deep in our own end. No blood on the pk and things would continue to play pretty even as the period went. Mike Daley would get a true, all alone, nobody even close breakaway that he would take right to the Red netminder. Mike had time to make himself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (trimmed crusts) and wait out the goalie before anyone caught up, but his wrist shot sailed just wide of the keeper and the right post.

Not long after the Gold would give up a breakaway of their own that the Red would finish nicely to tie the game. Jon really had no shot on that one as the Red was in clean after beating the pinching Gold D men (Bauer and Fosdick). The second would end 1-1 and it was clear it would be a grind to the end.

The third was a grind but good things started to happen for Gold just a few minutes in. George Moorachian would pick up a broken play in the neutral zone, and would rush up ice and bury a shot for the lead unassisted. This seemed to take a little wind out of the Tigers sails and the Gold did a good job of continuing to take the play to them.
Sully would strike next on another nice feed from Nelson (always working hard) and the Cadavers were up 3-1 about halfway through the period.

Mike Daley would get the next one, (from Jeff) in the left faceoff circle and the Gold were playing with a very nice 4-1 lead for most of the rest of the game. The shot went off of Greggy's leg so he will also be awarded an "in the line of duty" assist. The Tigers would make a nice final push but only in the last minute and a half. They would finally land another one after a bunch of hard work in front of Jon Cole and the score was 4-2. That's how this one would end though as the Gold would take the puck away with about 20 seconds left and wouldn't give it back.
Everyone was off to their cars to catch the Cup action right afterward and there was a rare lack of 4th period activity.

Game Stars
3rd Star: Tireless Mike Daley. A helper and a bunch of ground covered all night. Another great effort

2nd Star: Jon Cole. A bunch of very nice stops and his usual quality play.

1st Star: Jim Sullivan. A goal and an assist on a night when he was clearly struggling at times. Good work sticking with it Sully.

Honorable Mention: Milan Lucic for clobbering that fuckbag Burrows in the Third. The only way that exchange could have been better were if Looch put his fingers UP Burrows nose... like to his wrist.

The Coon of Shame: is awarded to another Canuck fuckbag, Arron Rome for his hit on Nathan Horton. True douchbaggery deserves the Coon weather you play with us or not. Lets hope Horty has not lingering effects from this nasty elbow.
