Suds outlast Minus in PIM fest

Schlitz (3) vs D-Minus 
Wednesday 10/12 
Canton 10:10pm 

2-1 Win


 

Again the blogger was not around for this one so again we call on the excellent talents of one of our regular guest-bloggers iJosh. Here he is with all the sordid truth you can take.

So a rainy night in Canton would have the Golden Suds take on D-Minus. 

We would welcome new goalie Mark Boudreau.  He Mark would be a welcomed addition playing a solid night between the pipes. 

Mark would be joined by:

Roman Kurin, Matvey and Jared Gordon on the Sitnick line.Nelson Sharfman, Kevin Parker and Matt Elliott on the 2nd line and Mike Daley, Mike Goodwin and Dan Gregson playing on the checking line.  Dan with Hands and iJosh would pair up on the D.  Eric Bauer would pair with Jeff Marrietta. 

The game would be chippy from the start.  Jeff Marrietta would go for a questionable trip, followed by Mike Daley for a matching rough.  Shortly after leaving the box, Jeff would return (he missed it) for another questionable trip.  That's not all.  Matvey would be shown the sin bin after an ill-advised slashed.  In the middle of all of this, Mike Daley was able to pick the trash (off a Gregson shot) with some hard work and put one past the goalie.  This would get the D-Minus yelling about the officiating as they believed that the whistle should have been blown.  At the end of one it would be 1-0 Good Guys. 

The second would start with a quick whistle in front of the Suds goalkeeper.  This would get the Minus grousing even more.  However despite their constant griping it would not help our position with the refs as Matvey would be shown the box again.  This time for a trip.  After a successful kill, the Minus would even up the score with a tip in that would make its way between the pads of Mark.  But Dan with Hands would put the Suds back on top.....this came with a.......wait for it.......wait for it......an assist from Roman. The 2nd would end 2-1 Schlitz.

The 3rd would be notable.  But not necessarily for good reasons.  Bauer would start the trend with a hook.  This would be followed by a slash from Jared Gordon.  Then an elbow from Bauer.  Then iJosh would lose his cool briefly as he would fall to the ice pinned in the corner.  The Minus player, holding his stick and yelling that iJosh had him in a leg lock (legs were wrapped around but not holding him there).  iJosh got up and told the guy to STFU and gave him a push a shove and tried a take down.....over reaction?  Maybe.  The bitching didn't stop there as the Minus would continually chide iJosh while they both were in the box.  Finally Josh told him to stop being such a "kitty cat".  Okay maybe another word for kitty was used.  Shortly after that Bauer would get his 3rd for unsportmanlike and get shown the door.  The Suds would kill off the penalty to end the game. 

So the final tally:
 2 goals for.
 1 goal against.
 10 penalties.

Very undisciplined game.  But luckily we got through.  Next time we may not be so lucky.

Game Stars:

 1st: Mike Daley for his gritty goal.
 2nd: DWH for his GW goal
 3rd: Mark Boudreau for his rookie performance in goal.

Great work iJosh. Thanks for the guestblog. Excellent stuff.
