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.
