Winter season opener-daveur!



Nice to be back on the ice last night in the cozy historic confines BU's Walter Brown Arena. The new look Daveurs faced off in our first league game since last spring, when the Beercans hoisted the championship trophy.
The night had drama early as the fill in keeper for the Cads apparently only arrived with one skate. That deflated the mood for a bit until, in a big upset, a skate appeared! Management would like to throw a big thank you shout out to the Zamboni driver the helped us out.
The Daveurs owe you a cold one sir. 

So back in business we were able to start the game with about 10 mins remaining in the first.
The Cadavers 
Steve in Net
DWH, Bauer and George playing D
Baker, Chapman, Roman, Seva, Matvey and one other? who am I forgetting?

The Schlitz
Tom in Net
Reynolds, iJosh, Jeff and Campbell on D
Larry, Douville, Sully, Daley, Mitch, and Matty Elliot playing forward.

The game was tight. Gold spent a lot of time chasing Paul Chapman around in his new shirt. but there was no blood after the first abreviated period.
Black/Red would get the first one after Matvey would tip home a shot from Bauer late in the second period to take the lead. 
The Gold would see the inside of the penalty box plenty, with Douville going once and Campbell going twice (on his way to 3 and an ejection) before the end of two... 
Apparently the big shock in re-joining the league was a bucket full of penalties...

Gold would play tough, and the Larry, Sully, Daley group would do very well on a few cycles through the offensive zone. But it wouldn't be enough to get over on the man with one skate. The fill- in Steve would not let a thing by and the gold was left in the cold.
Roman would grab an empty netter as time wound down to make the final 2-0.

3rd Star: The Zamboni Driver for "aquiring" the needed skate

2nd Star: Matvey for the Game Winner
1st Star: Steve Mitch... for showing up, finding a skate, and pitching a shutout!


Great to be back on the ice... and looking good! 
Please comment if I've forgoten anything.
