Schlitz (5) vs Blues
Tuesday 10/25
UMass Boston 7:00pm


6-2 loss


Once again the Blogger has not been a regular attendee... so last nights game gets a great write up by Doctor Scott Pounds. Always nice to hear from the good doctor and this summary hits the spot for those of us hungry for a little game story.
So here is Doc Pounds with the recap:

The Suds went into the UMass dressing corner with five skaters (happily, Gorden brought his friend Seth along, and the extra body was greatly appreciated. Seth gets the 'Come back anytime' award) and no goalie some fifteen minutes before game time, but Mark Boudreau, Baker, and Bauer came in just in time to make the generous NESHL 180 second warmup period. 
 
We started with two subs. A few minutes into the game, Ken and DWH hit the bench, so we were able to play with two full lines and three D (thought the lines fluctuated as Elliot was under the weather and we seemed to be adjusting around penalties a lot). 

The UMass women had just concluded a practice, leaving the ice very rough and rutted. The Beermen were full of bubbles in the early going despite being initially short and scored the first goal, Pounds to Gorden to Baker. The first period ended 1-0 Adult Beverages, and the bench was full of confidence. 

The Blues, however, had their very good goalie in net and had a couple of what Nelson would call half-shields on the bench, #8 and somebody in a Deep Blue jersey and put in the next two goals in the second period. Then Gorden corralled a loose puck at center ice, deked a couple of Blues, and dished it to a streaking Herbert, who faked the forehand and tucked the puck between the goalie's legs to make the game 2-2. 

Unfortunately, that was the high point for the 'Cans. Deep Blue and #8 had legs and the Beermen came to room temperature and went slowly flat. Though the final was 6-2, Mark Boudreau was stellar in net, robbing the Blues at least a dozen times.

I think we forfeited the fourth period, as it was early and the campus cops were out in force due to the women's volleyball game in the gym. If anyone did stay, make it known in the comments.
