Pics from Penultimatedaveur

While the Blogger gets caught up with his end of the season wrap up post here are a bunch of pictures from our first Ultimatedaverchampionshipapalooza Game. This one was from back on 4/28 and the Cadavers won in heroic Zombie fashion to force the UltimateSchlidoubledaveurchampionship Game the following Thursday which was lots of fun too. Some good pics in this group, thanks to Madd Matt Kilroy for bringing his camera, and props to Marc Valenti who took all of these shots. Good thing too, he had to contribute somehow given that he wasn't on the ice for the Gold. Thanks Marc.
And yes... the end of season stats will be up soon.

Suds win Huskies Division Championship.

Ultimate Championship Game
Schlitz vs Cadavers
Thursday May 1
Canton 9:10pm

Schlitz 4
Cadavers 0



The Suds win the Winter Season Championship with a spirited win over the persistant Cadavers last night in Canton. The third and Ultimate meeting of the Schlitz and Cadavers in this playoff season was a tight and hard fought game, with both sides clearly playing hard for the Championship Bragging Rights.
Both teams added players, Greg James returned for the Suds while three Cadavers rejoined the lineup with Mike Hammitt, Blake Underhill, and Mark Bates returning to action. These teams played a barn-burner 3-2 game on Monday night at the same time, and the same rink and this matchup, for all the "marbles" promised to be a good one.
The game started with some good chances on both ends and showed that it would be a hard and close game right off the bat. The Golden Suds were the first to get some consistant pressure and OEJ did a great job shutting down chances. The entire period went by, seeming longer than it really was, without a score.
The Second Period likewise remained scoreless for a long time. The Schlitz were clearly getting the majority of the chances and the Red were often forced to scramble in their own end. The frustration on the Zombie side of things started to bubble over. Mike Hammitt went for his first, a Slash, at 11:35 in the 2nd. The Schlitz weren't able to avoid their own problems with the Zebras as they were called for the next three. Greg James took the first, a Trip at 9:09. The Suds were able to kill off that power play without any consistent chances for the red.

The Schlitz would finally break through as time got short in the second. Pete Capraro, set up by Billy Pearlman, slipped a long low shot in from the point that found its way past OEJ to the back of the net with 5:35 remaining. The cheer from the Suds bench was loud as first blood was finally drawn.

The game turned complicated for the Guys in Gold as the Penalty bug nipped them once again and threatened to undue the hard gained advantage. James went off again for an Interference at 4:44 but then things got bad when Pete Capraro went off at 3:55 giving the Red a 5 on 3 for close to a minute of playing time. The Zombies got a few chances but the hard work from the Gold pk paid off and they were able to come out of the 2 man down unscathed. Credit good skating from forward Roman Kurin who really helped the cause with timely break ups. There is no question this was a huge momentum builder for the Schlitz to escape that situation.

Things continued to unravel for the Cads soon after as they were assesed a bench minor for too many men with just over 2 minutes in the second. This would lead to another Schlitz strike, this time as Greg James picked up a loose puck and buried a nice wrister to put the 'cans up 2-0 with 1 minute left. Thats how the period would end.

The third period saw more furious action as the red continually tried to mount some kind of offense with out great success. The Suds would strike a meare 3 minutes into the period to take a Commanding 3-0 lead thanks to a great goal by Kevin Parker, credit Chris Foz on the assist.

More frustration after that as Mike Campbell took his second less than a minute later adn Hammitt his second 2 minutes after that. The suds didn't convert to extend their lead, but likewise killed the last of their own penalties when Bill Pearlman went for a hold with 9 minutes left.

The Zombies would continue to valliantly try to mount some form of attack, even pulling OEJ with more than two minutes remaining. This only resulted in a Empty Net Goal from Matt Elliott, Chuck Slate on the assist, that finally closed the door on this one.

A great final game for a really nice season. Kudos and thanks to one and all.
The fourth period was no less worthy of the magnitude of the game with an exquisite layout of Sushi and Dumplings from Miran James. Thanks so much to her for bringing the goods! You spoil us with your tasty treats.

Game Stars

3rd Star: Alright. He was a no-show on the score sheet (points or penalties) which almost never happens. But the Blogger feels inclined to give the 3rd star to Larry Bell. Larry clearly gave it his all and was all over the place for the Dead in Red. He had a great playoffs, lugging a lot of "mail" for his team and making chances happen through effort and toughness. No wonder he's the points leader year in and year out. Nice work Larry... as always.
2nd Star: Pete Capraro. Scores the eventual Game Winner with a sneaky low shot from the point. Pete had a great playoff run, showing his legs and grit in every game. He has really become a valuable contributor every time he's on the ice. Good job Pete.
1st Star: It's a shutout baby, so you know what that means. Suds goalie Brian Carey walks away with the number one star for a Championship Game Shutout. Brian has played great every game in the playoffs for the team this year and has been a welcome addition to our goaltending rotation. Thanks Brian. Great job.

Fourth period was appropriatly festive. A few shots below from the cellphone cam will give you an idea if you weren't there. Thanks to all who brought beer.
Stay tuned for more pics of the winners on and off the ice in the coming days.
Until then.
Great job Schlitz. 2 titles in a row.... and the first winter title in franchise history. Nice work.

Cadavers (2)[2-1] vs
Schlitz (3)[2-0]
Monday April 28
Canton, 9:10pm

Cadavers 3
Schlitz 2



Well now its on, isnt it. The Golden Schlitz with a chance to lock up the first winter season Championship in Franchise history let one get away as the plucky, pugnacious, persistant Zombies fought and scratched their way to an impressive 3-2 win. This game was close, all night long. Looking back its hard to place another Schlidaveur game that has been played with more intensity. Tight forechecking, good scoring chances, odd man rushes, rebounds, penalties this game had it all.
Now the table has been set. There will indeed be one more game. The Cads have now won one and lost one (first game) to the Schlitz and that forces the Ultimate Championship Game coming your way later this week. (Stay tuned).

Lets talk about how this one went down first. There were a few players not participating, Blake Underhill, and Mark Bates were out, and Mike Hammitt was a late scratch for the Zombies. Likewise the Golden Schlitz were without 2 key defensemen Greg James (involved in some sort of Japanese Schoolgirl Fantasy Camp) and Marc Valenti (sprained wrist) were out. Valenti was nice enough to come and take some pics [see posts to come] and help run things on the Gold bench. True team player.

The first period saw furious action back and forth but not much scoring. The Schlitz had chances to go up early but were turned away. Likewise the Cads would have their fair share. The Schlitz let the penalty bug nip them as Billy Pearlman was sent to the sin bin for a hook at 14:35 remaining in the first. The PK worked well for the Cans and the period began to wind down.
It was the Cads turn next as habitual offender Mike Campbell was sent out for a trip at 4:17. The Schlitz totally botched the powerplay not only not getting any good chances but as the penalty expired the Dead in Red swooped into the zone courtesy of some nice work from Stephan Wennik and landed the first point of the game. Stephan went behind the net, aptly avoiding the D and popped a shot on Brian that rebounded out to Ken Goldenberg who was standing alone in the slot and rang up the first goal.

The Schlitz frustration would boil over as the period expired and Kevin Parker went out this time for a crosscheck with only 2 sec on the clock.

The Second period saw more scoring and more up and down action. The Beercans would even up the game on a nice play from DWH who buried another sweet wrist shot past OEJ, credit the double Matts (Kilroy and Elliott) on the helpers with 14:20 on the clock.

This lead wouldn't last long however as the Zombies fought right back this time Matvey Nikhamik put one home from iJosh and Ken to go back up on top at 11:17. Again the Zombies would send men to the box as the Schlitz ramped up the play after going down a goal again. Matvey would go for a charge at 7:45, and Larry Bell would sit for a trip at 6:02. Alas the Golden Schlitz couldn't capitalize again, with poor work on the power play. This led to more bad news for them as the Cads would score again, this time Mike Campbell from Larry and Mike Daley to go up 3-1 with 2:40 left in the second frame.

The 'cans would manage to get one back less than a minute later when Matty Elliott put home a nice feed from Nelson that was the end of a long rush. Matt and Nelson were behind the D in the neutral zone and took a long pass off the boards up ice for a nice rush, the feed from Nelson was a thing of beauty, and Matt finished nicely. 3-2 after 2.

The third period was a grindfest on both ends. Another penalty for the Dead, Ken Goldenberg (all over the scoresheet last night) went at 12:44 for a hook, and another huge missed opportunity for the Schlitz. Despite the ineffectiveness of the power play the gold did manage to build some momentum and started to get stronger chances as the game wore down.

Then the bug came back. With 4:15 Jeff Fosdick took a terrible Interference Penalty after knocking iJosh down in the slot, essentially killing all the momentum the Cans had. To make matters worse 30 sec later Kevin Parker returned to the box for his second Crosscheck penalty of the game. That was it. Despite pulling the goalie in the last 2 minutes the Gold just couldn't put anything together and the strong D of the Cadavers cleared everything away and preserved the win with no further scoring.

Game Stars.
3rd Star: The Cadavers D. Great play from Mike Campbell, Mike Daley, George Moorachian and Stephan Wennik propelled the Zombies to greatness.
2nd Star: Matt Elliott. The plucky Schlitz forward tallied a goal and an assist and had strong work all night long.

1st Star: Ken Goldenberg. Yep thats right. Mitch scored the ice-breaker for the Cads than assisted on the next one. He made the tri-fecta with a penalty in the third and just played great all night. Great work Ken.

Honorable Mention 1: Great play from Larry and the rest of the Cads forwards.

Honorable Mention 2: Teammate Kevin Manning for showing up (despite not being able to play) and bringing JELLO SHOTS for the post-game. Great to see you Kev. Thanks for the jello and coming by to root on the troops.

Honorable Mention 3: DWH played great all night, had a critical goal for the Schlitz and continued to influence the play all over the ice. Dan is one of the guys (Daley and Elliott also) who played a tournament over the weekend and I think was playing in his 5th game in 4 days. Great work.

Postgame stuff.
The Sandwich; Billy gettin jiggy with it;
Kevin (thanks for the jello!);
Daley, Valenti and Elliott.


So now it comes down to just one more. One last winner take all game to settle the Winter Championship for the Huskies Division. This time someone is going home with the trophy. Will they be in a Red Jersey or a Yellow one? Who will be able to make this game? This is what its all about. Two teams enter... one team leaves. We've reached the summit, the climax, the Ultimate Championship Schlidaveur Scenario is upon us. If I could think of any more supuraltives I'd blurt them out... but you get the picture.

Stay tuned team. ... wait... this just in...
THIS THURSDAY NIGHT !

for all the marbles.
Be there or be square.

Go Zombies.
Go Suds.
Someone is wining the title Thurday night.

Schlidaveur Championship Game Tonight!

Schlitz (3, 2-0) vs
Cadavers (2, 2-1)

Canton 9:10

Huskies Division Championship Game!
(1 of possible 2)


The Golden (and Good Looking) Schlitz face off against the Gritty and Battle Tested Cadavers for the Division Championship. We all know what happened the last time these two met in this very Playoff Tournament. But things were different. The opening game of the playoffs for both clubs had juggled rosters and several key players out.

Now the Zombies have won two in a row, a crushing win over the Freeze and a spectacular clutch win over the first seeded Tigers last week. Can the Golden Schlitz hold off the rampaging Zombies? Who will show and play?

Remember now, if the Zombies win tonght it will force a Penultimate Championship Schli-double-daveur to break the 1 game each tie. This scenario will certainly make the Blogger's head explode, as he is already running out of superlatives... But it is certainly possible.

Roster update and Review....as of 11:00am today.

Cadavers (2) vs Schlitz (3)

Wednesday April 9th

Bavis Arena 10:10pm

Schlitz 8

Cadavers 4

Another Playoff Schlidaveur to open this winter's postseason for both clubs. Despite some small adjustments to the rosters, there was a decent turnout for both squads, ending up with 11 a side. Mike Gash bailed out the night before for the Cads, so Our Gal Lizzy came through once again, saving the Zombie bacon and played for the Dead in Red instead of OEJ. Thanks again to Lizzy for filling in on such short notice. One other move was that the Gold gave up defenseman Billy Pearlman (who was a late arrival) to the D-thin Cadavers, in a move that also evened out the numbers at 11. Thanks to Billy for switching right at the last minute. Going forward he will be on the Schlitz roster.

Lets give the full breakdown of who was there.

The Golden Schlitz (and quite dashing... I'll add) Sported

D1-DWH, D.Gregson

D2-Valenti, J.Fosdick

O1-Nelson, C.Fosdick, Parker

O2- Roman, Elliott, Chuck, and Capraro

The Dead in Red sent out....

D1-Mike Daley, Pearlman

D2- Hammitt, Stephan

O1- iJosh, Jasse, Larry

O2- Ken, Matvey, Scott, and Blake

The game started off with some good chances at either end as the last few stragglers filled out the rosters on both sides. It wasn't long until the Golden Suds would break through for the first lead of the game. Nelson put one in the net after taking the feed from Dan Gregson and the scoring was on.

Not long after that the Gold would strike again, this time Pete Capraro capping off a Chris Fosdick rebound to put the Schlitz ahead by two.

There were a few penalties at this point, the first a bench minor for the Zombies for too many men served by Ken. Then there was a nice give and take between Chuck and Stephan in the corner to Lizzy's left that ended up with Chuck taking down Stephan, and then Stephan getting up and giving a nice shot to Chuck just to let him know he was paying attention. That sent both guys to the box with matching minors for roughing.

Stephan was indeed a bit feisty... playing with a certain snarl that we don't always see from the mild-mannered fast skating defensemen. He was part of a number of good rushes for the Red all night and would later be heard on the score-sheet as well.

The first period was busy, and would continue to go the Cans way as time wound down. Kevin Parker put a nice finish on a play that started with Nelson and DWH. Then just before the time ran out Roman Kurin buried a nice wrist shot that came on a rebound from Matt Elliott and Marc Valenti. The period would end with the Zombies in a 4-0 hole and the Cans feeling pretty good about themselves.

The second period was more of the same for the Schlitz but the Zombies were clearly not intimidated and there was pleanty of hard skating and effort on both sides. The Zombies would start to climb back into the game as some of Larry Bell's hard work would pay off as he scored (Dr. Jasse on the assist) to break the ice for the Red. Larry was flying around the ice, much like teammates Stephan and Mike Daley really trying to create some chances. It was clear he wasn't going down without being heard.

Jeff Fosdick for the Gold went off for a trip early in the second, and teammate Dan Gregson went later in that period for a hook. Gregson's penalty stopped an almost sure goal right on the doorstep. Fosdick was just being lazy as he stuck his stick in Stephan (or Mike Daley's) skates.

The Zombies had their own troubles in the period with penalties from Mike Hammitt, and Larry as tensions mounted later in the period.

The Gold would continue their scoring ways with another goal from Nelson (from Parker), a second goal from Pete Capraro (again from Chris Fosdick), and a nice pick up the loose stuff in front goal from Chuck Slate off of a Matt Elliott rebound. By the end of the period it was 7-1 Gold and things looked desperate for the Zombies.

Larry would indeed be heard again as he scored early in the third. This one after Mike Hammitt made a great play turning Jeff Fosdick around and puting a beautiful pass on Larry's stick right in front, where he slammed it home. The next goal would be Larry again for the natural 'trick, this time on a hard work play from iJosh and Dr. Jasse.

A quick word on iJosh who had forgotten his helmet last night, so he played with an extra helmut that Parker had in his truck but didn't have a face shield. First of all... how about Parker carrying an extra helmet around..? Secondly... how the hell did iJosh forget his helmet? Anyway there was much banter post game about who iJosh looked like skating around with the no-cage hat. I think the best one was Guy Carboneau, and there were other references to Mike Ricci. It was a good look for sure, but I'm sure he'll be glad to be playing behind the mask next time. All in all iJosh played well all night despite the rented hat.... and he did look a little like Carboneau...

The Gold would get one more in the third, this one a devastating shot from DWH with D partner Gregson on the assist. The Red would answer one last time when Stephan took a long rush, turning several players, and then completely crossing up Jeff Fosdick (again) to flip a superb shot past Brian for a great unassisted goal. But that was the end of the Red threat and despite some shots back and forth between Larry and Valenti, all went quietly till the final buzzer.

A nice game, some good fun for all, and a decent start to the postseason.

Game Stars.

3rd Star- Pete Capraro and Kevin Parker. Pete for a two goal night, and Kevin for a goal and assist. Both worked hard all night and could have had more...

2nd Star- Larry "show me the scoresheet" Bell. A nice night for Larry with the natural hat-trick despite the losing effort. Larry was driven to get his team back in the game, and was flying around all night trying to make things happen.

1st Star- Nelson "consummate professional" Sharfman. Two goals and a helper, and really could have had much more. I've said it before, I'll say it again... nobody outworks Nelson. Nobody.

Honorable Mention 1: Lizzy. Once again coming through on less than a day's notice to take to the ice for us. Thanks for being there Lizzy, we owe you big time.

Honorable Mention 2: Mike Daley. He didn't make the scoresheet, but he was busy making things happen all night. Good work.

Honorable Mention 3: Scorekeeper Bob Kilcup... for telling the ref at one point that he should treat a certain unmentionable part of his anatomy like a popsicle.... I think you know what I mean.

So the breakdown going forward looks like this. The Cadavers will play next Monday the 14th in Canton at 10:20pm against the Deep Freeze. All you Cads, check your schedules and get back to management (Jeff this week) about your availablilty.

The Schlitz will play the ever dangerous Tigers on the following Monday the 21st at 9:10pm also in Canton. The winner of this game will clearly have the early edge on winning this division. Again, check your availablity and get back to management if you think you have a conflict.

We really want to set up these rosters as both games are critical to getting another Schlidaveur before all is said and done in the playoffs.

'til next time...

Go Zombies

Just a side note... I'll do end of season stats after the playoffs (unless there is great demand for end of "regular season" numbers) to give you the full picutre. There was no scoring in the final game due to the forfeit... so Larry still leads everyone.

Until then... you Ugly lookin... Zombies better prepare for the everloving asswhoopin' us pretty boys are going to put on your asses.

See you Wednesday. Go Suds. Go Zombies.

Cadavers(23) vs Schlitz(23)
Sunday March 9
Dedham 9pm

Cadavers 4
Schlitz 1


An epic night at the very nice (and very cold) new Dedham arena. The Cadavers put down the (relatively speaking) better looking Schlitz, and came out looking much the better at the end of the evening. The gold made the effort, backstopped by the CEO-BMF Matt Kilroy who played great, but they just couldn't put it together. Some great play up and down as the game was 1-0 for a long time from what I recall.
The blogger apologises for the hacked post but after getting to rink and realizing the terrible, terrible mistake I'd made, I tried to gut (hrm..bad choice) it out and play, but left the bench in the mid 2nd period to spare you all the color and shapes of my intestines. I actually made it all the way home, teeth clenched, eyes crossed. I arrived to then examine the contents of the deepest parts of me as they continually came out for then next 8 hours. Fun.
Sorry to "share" so much but, I'm just starting to feel semi-human again and feel the need.
I'm going to hand it over to our pinch-hitting blogger iJosh (who's been hitting for strong average) for a brief wrap on the game action.

Since you couldn't stomach sticking around, I'll just spew out the details.

Winning Ugly:

It seems that the "Pretty Boys" just didn't have the toughness needed to play with the "Rugged Boys". Anyway, the game would start out without much ado. A few opportunities on either side, but nothing on the scoreboard. Then the Jass-Man would add to his assist totals as he would feed Larry who finished the deal to start off the scoring.
That is the way that the 1st period would end. In the second more of the same. Lots of good play, but no goals early. Then George would see Hammitt running up the right boards and hit him tape to tape. Hammitt would get ahead of Roman toward the net and beat Kilroy top side right. Later in the period, iJosh would put pressure on Greg James deep in Schlitz's zone. Greg would center the pass where Matvey stole it and put a shot on goal. Mr. Kilroy would make the initial save, but iJosh would pick up the rebound and tuck it away 5-hole style. That would finish the 2nd period.

In the 3rd, play was again pretty even, but still no breaks for the Suds. Then after a little chaos, Nelson would put one home to close the gap to 3 - 1. In the closing minutes, Schlitz would pull their goalie, but iJosh would gather the puck from (I forget who, but I think Matvey) skate just past center ice and put home the empty netter.
That would be all she wrote as the "Pretty Boys" fall in a not so pretty way.

Penalties to:
Pearlman
Valenti
Valenti
Moorachian
Matvey? check that one.

4th period feature LOTS of beer and a kick-ass sub.

Thanks Josh. You are the man coming through today. Good show by all. I really wish I could have been there...esp. for the beer and the sub. In fact I wanted to be there so much I'd talked myself into ignoring what my body was telling me, namely that I was in for a world of hurt.
Check.
Sorry no game stars, but we can do a supplemental post for this game. In fact thats a good idea, please send me your nominations for games stars and any stories (however short) you'd like to share.
Thanks.

Rosters Set. Who's Hot Who's Not!

The Judges have submitted the Rosters and as they say... It's all over but the cryin'.
Our elite panel decided the best way to lay it out for us. The word was bitter but rang true. The reality is (and I think we all knew this going in...) we aren't what you'd call... a hot bunch of guys. So this is how the Panel was able to set it out in realistic terms.

One group is really a bunch of guys they would consider "hot" after drinking about 2 beers.
That's pretty good if you think about it. These are post-doctoral graduate students we are talking about here... they probably drink a lot.
So we'll take it. They'll be the "Hot after 2 brews" and they will skate as the Schlitz.
Nelson, Parker, J.Foz, Gregson, DWH, C.Foz, Greg, Elliott, Capraro, Chuck, Roman, Valenti, and Kilroy.

So the other group... well according to the judges... its going to take a few more beers.

The second team will be the guys they would consider "hot" after drinking 4 beers.
Again (just the bloggers opinion) I think this isn't so bad... maybe we're not that bad looking after all. They'll be the "Better after 4" and skate as the Cadavers.
Larry, Hammit, Ken/Mitch, BlakeU, iJosh, Mark B., Matvey, Daley, Stephan, Campbell, and Jasse.

So check out the pics and comments for the teams posted below.... and enjoy.

Special thanks from Management go out to our elite panel of judges... Sara and Miriam. We couldn't have run this sham without you. Thanks for being good sports, and thanks for taking the time to give us a clever comment on every selection.
The 'daveurs appreciate it.
We were also glad to see that you guys looked like you had some fun with it.
Thanks again.
