Return to Sparta....again!

So the Cadavers would play yet another game against the Spartan.  Feeling like that is the only team we play lately.

We traveled to UMalcatraz to face the men in green this time.  Albeit with similar results as last time:

UMass Boston
Thursday, March 14 @ 9:20pm
Spartans 5
Cadavers 2

The Cadavers would have a full squad of 13 players.  The Spartans would be, well, sparse.  This should bode well for the men in red.  Is that your final answer?  Because if it is, then you are wrong.  The Spartans would, or actually shall I say, one Spartan pretty much dominated this game.  The fill-in goalie, Steve, played great.  He made some stellar saves.  However he could not get in the way of some of the constant slew of break-away plays that presented themselves behind the D.  Very quickly we would be down 2-0.  Though Jim Sullivan would find a way to put on into the net this time.  If you recall, last time he should have had one, but somehow got robbed.

Number 12, had quite the game for the Spartans.  He was able to score all five goals (according to Point Streak he only scored 4, but they left out the empty net goal).  He also was able to sit for 2 minutes for calling George a lady part name after he fell  into the boards and blamed George.  He would also draw a penalty on iJosh while the Spartans were already on  a power play.  He would grab the puck, curl around and lose an edge.  As he fell, his skate his iJosh's stick as iJosh tried to stay with #12.  When even your own team disputes the penalty, it is a pretty bad call.  But despite all protests the Cads would have to endure a 5 on 3 that they would eventually kill.

In the end Leo (#12) was too much for the Cadavers.  He did a wonderful job of skating to and from the icing line to the blue line.  I would complain more if the Spartans had a full squad, but they only had 6, so I will only slightly grumble about that.

Again, kudos to the fill-in goalie.  Hopefully we will see him in the pipes again for Schlidaveur International.
