Cadavers vs. Schlitz
Playoff Game 3


Cadavers 6
Schlitz 4

Big Zombie Win!

The hype was big. The smack talk was flowing. The Gold had thier playoff future in their hands and the Zombies had a singular purpose. The Red had a chance to avenge the last 'daveur loss and to keep the Schlitz from playing another game. This was playoff Schlidaveur madness and the game delivered on all the lead up.

Now right off the bat lets talk about who wasn't there. Chris Fosdick and Larry Bell were both out of the country and proved to be damaging offensive losses for the Gold. On the flip side the Red were without bigtime playa Matt Elliott and Mike Hammitt, plus had a couple guys Kevin Parker, and Mike Jasse playing in pain. All in all both squads ended up with 11 players and things worked out pretty even.... but I'm sure the aforementioned absentees are feeling the pangs of regret this morning. Can't be helped.
The game started with palpaple tension from both groups. This was increased by a little pregame visit between the lockerrooms. There was a new deal on the table for this one, given all of the expectation and roster bouncing that has characterized this playoffs. This was the deal. Management decided that IF the Cads were to win... and IF the Schlitz were NOT eliminated by that loss, then the victorious squad of Cads would then get to skate as the Gold in the extra game...again IF there was an extra game. This was agreed to (not that there was approval asked for) by the room of Suds "Thats reasonable" was one quote. We'll have more on this later, but suffice to say, the intensity went slightly up from there.
The game started out fast. Both clubs were clearly going at each other to get some early chances. The Cads broke through first on a goal by Kevin Parker from Nelson Sharfman three minutes into the 1st. It didn't take long for the Schlitz to answer when a minute later Jim Sullivan scored on Lizzy (Pete Capraro, Stephan Wennik on the assists) to tie things up. iJosh Greenstein came through for the Zombies next with help from Parker and DJ only to have the Gold answer again this time Sully unassisted. Neither guy was done as iJosh potted another (This time a PP goal from Parker, Nelson) and Sully responded again (nice hat trick in the first period for Sully) and we went to the break tied 3-3.
Rumblings on the bench were that OEJ may be a little rattled (he doesn't give up many) as a result of the Cads getting 3 by him in the first. Both teams knuckled down for the second period.
It was halfway through the period when Nelson (from iJosh) gave the Zombies the lead. Despite the great efforts by the Gold they were held off. Then when Billy Pearlman was whistled off for a big check on Roman "What..? I couldn't stop.." with 2 mins remaining, Dr. Mike Jasse connected on a beauty from Nelson (Mr. Hardworkdownlow) and Jeff Fosdick (Mr. Justkeepitinatthepoint). End of 2 and the Gold were down 5-3.
You have to hand it to the Schlitz. They played very hard in the third, despite getting some extra "love" from the zebras, and scrambled just to get some chances on Lizzy. You know that they were thinking "just shoot the puck"... hell they were yelling it. The stalwart Zombie Keeper was not having any of it. Flashing the pads and gloves Lizzy made several good stops to keep the Suds at bay. As time wound down they pulled OEJ for the extra attacker and scored on a great shot by Pearlman (Dangerous Dave, Matvey) after a prolonged scrum in front and down low.
That would be the end though as the comeback fell short and Nelson potted an empty net goal with :01 sec left on the board. Zombies win!

Gamestars.
3rd Star: iJosh. Nice finishing touches from the i-Man who ended up with 2 goals and an assist. iJosh was all over the place and played a big part of the Zombie victory.
2nd Star: Jim Sullivan. With and old fashioned hat trick in the first period, Jim showed why he has quickly become a valuable member of the Schlidaveurs. He has put up big points challenging for the scoring lead in his rookie season. Last night was no exception, he brought it all night.
1st Star: We've seen his name a lot in this space lately. Nelson Sharfman. Two goals and three assists and more hard work than the Energizer Bunny. Nelson has been just getting it done in these playoffs. Nine points in three games...thats right...NINE. Way to go Nelson. You regularly show the rest of us old guys (and gals) how its done.

Honorable Mention #1: Kevin Parker for the Zombies. 1 goal and 3 assists and another gutty performance. Another guy that always brings it.

Honorable Mention#2: Lizzy. Way to step up and make some big stops down the stretch. Liz had some terrific stops in the third period to hold on to this one. Great work.

Overheard in the Cadavers Locker Room:
Matt: "I walked in and gave them the 'Coon. Actually I just tossed it right at One Eye Jack."
Parker: "Did it go by him?"

Overheard in the Parking Lot:
" I like holdin' it. Its soft.... and nice and fuzzy."



Fourth Period Honors.
Beermen: Campbell, Jasse, Nikhamik, iJosh, and Kevin Manning for the Shots!

Chow: Miran for the delicious cookies. Kilroy for the delicious Pizza.
Jello Baby!

Three members of the Gold enjoy the 'Coon's company.

Hmm. The 'Coon looks hungry. Or maybe he's just checking out Lizzy.

Schlidaveur 07 Round 6.... The Final Playoff Chapter!

Tonight!
Tonight!
TONIGHT!

Schlitz (2-0) vs. Cadavers (0-2)
Playoff Game 3
Canton 9:10
Tuesday 9/4/07

It all comes down to this. A playoff showdown between sister....err.. brother franchises. The Schlitz are now
playing for the chance to advance to the division CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, and the only thing that stands in the way.... is the Cadavers. This will be the last chance for playoff redemption for the skating dead given that they have lost both of thier previous games, and the last one...ingloriously.
We have seen these roster matchups before. Just three weeks ago these squads faced off. Of course the Schlitz from that game are now the Cadavers... and vice versa...but whatever. That was a very good game and tonight looks to be the same. The Schlitz hold the decided advantage in the season series being up 3-1-1 for the summer. The Cads can only hope to try and come closer to balancing that record.

Schlitz Roster
Larry Bell (out), Pete Capraro, Chris Fosdick (out), Ken Goldenberg, Dan Gregson, Greg James, Bill Pearlman, Scott Pounds, Kevin Manning (with jello shots), Matvey Nikhamik, Dave Spenciner, Jim Sullivan, Stefan Wennik, Mike (Dr. Zero, OEJ) Gash...in net.



Cadavers Roster
Mike Campbell, Deb Dalessio, Matt Elliot (out), Jeff Fosdick, Josh Greenstein, Mike Hammitt, Dan Herbert, Mike Jasse (?able ...injury), Matt Kilroy, Roman Kurin (?able ...vacation), Kevin Parker, George Moorachain, Nelson Sharfman
Lizzy in net

So let the smack talk begin. Either the Suds are moving on to playoff glory or the Zombies will exact their rotten revenge on the "golden boys". Will the Suds continue their run and hopefully make the combined Schlidavuers proud? Will the Cads take great pleasure with an off season after knocking off the Suds, despite the results from the whole year and playoffs? More importantly... will Kevin really bring the jello shots again? Will Miran be preparing special treats with properly oriented nuggets in them? Will the fourth period last until next season? So many questions.... and tonight we will discover the answers. Tonight the playoff fate of our twin franchieses will be decided. Tonight we go to war with oursevles.

So bring the smack. Bring your game. Bring something for the after party. Just bring it all to Canton by 9:10pm tonight, and we'll have our questions answered.

See you there.

The Schlitz played the Tigers twice this season the first was a 3-1 loss and the second was a 2-0 win. Both times it sounded like the suds matched up well, but only good results on the second game. Some may remember the first meeting when Capraro led the meltdown...along with others. This should be a winnable game.

We've only played these guys once. The Schlitz (most of guys on Cads roster now) lost to them 9-6 back a week ago in Quincy. Looked like a winable game, but it will take a Zombie Pride effort to put them away in the playoffs. The Cads are 0-1 in the playoffs after losing in OT last week. Need this one to make the next game all the more meaningful!

Cadavers(15) vs. Schlitz(13)
Monday August 13th
Bavis Ice Arena


Cadavers - 3
Schlitz - 0



Now that was fun. A 'daveur for the ages. Not one of our many many ties but a very even and competitive game. Both teams played very well, including both goalies, and there was no shortage of extra effort when it came to the chippy stuff for a while.
Yes there were some boiling tensions as this nip and tuck affair drew out. There was a nice firey exchange between OEJ and Nelson Sharfman, on Nelson's first shift no less. Plenty of poking and hacking that OEJ seemed a little sensitive over. The other good boil over was Matvey taking a few shots after getting the textbook Hammitt take down. Seems Matvey was a little sensitive too. Kudos to Hammitt for not taking it to the next level. Lets remember everyone... we're all friends out there, so don't go taking anything too personally.
I give you an exchange between myself and scoring leader Larry Bell during the fourth period.

Larry: Nice hit in the corner. I can appreciate a good hit.
Blogger: I'm just glad I caught you... so I could hit you.

Another moment that is recorded in our photo section is the Hammitt Pancake on Dangerous Dave Spenciner. Good one there. Way to keep after it and bounce back Dave.
The whole first period was scoreless until less than a minute left when Chris Fosdick finally broke through for the Zombies on a Power Play goal with an assist by Matvey.
Then Dangerous Dave exacted his revenge by potting one with help from Nelson.
The Suds continued to mount decent attacks and defend pretty well but OEJ was having none of it. Time after time he turned away the Schlitz shots or gobbled up the rebounds.
It wasn't until almost halfway through the third when Jim Sullivan (from Bill Pearlman) delt the back breaker. By then the Suds were desperate to get something going and were starting to allow too many odd man rushes. OEJ held on an preserved his fourth shutout on the year. Great job. The Zombies worked hard all night with consistent pressure and deserved the well fought win.
The penalty scene was active but not out of hand. Nelson had one and Hammitt and Jeff Fosdick both had 2 for the Suds. Billy Pealman has two also, along with the roughing on Matvey for the Zombies. There was also a bench minor that Scott Pounds was nice enough to serve. Really the zebras could have called a lot more.
There was even some fandom! Yes, the Blogger's family decided to make a night of it and not only came to root on the Suds but took pictures and videos of the game. Thanks to Crystal, and Amanda (the photographer), Justin and baby Jenn for making the trip. The Blogger beams with pride.
The Pearlman clan was on hand as well. Billy brought along all his kids and so the blog sends the Schlidaveur salute out to all of his kids. Thanks for coming.

Alright.... Game Stars.
3rd Star: The goal scorers for the Zombies. Chris Fosdick, Dangerous Dave, and Jim Sullivan. Way to finish guys, a great effort from all, all night long.
2nd Star: Lizzy. Yep, our gal Liz made a number of excellent stops and despite being on the losing end deserves a star. She made a bunch of good saves on odd man rushes (feeling snake-bit Larry?) and shots that came through traffic. She kept the Suds afloat for the whole game. Thanks.
1st Star: Who else? Mike "Dr. Zero" Gash. OEJ's fourth shutout on the season. Eighth win out of eleven played, and a phenominal 1.45 GAA. The man keeps on bringing the good stuff. Great season Mike, keep up the good work.

Great Fourth period work by Grillmaster Mike Campbell. Also Greg James for bringing the (BS) cookies... you know what we really want Greg, and Chris Fosdick for the yummy Meatballs. Thanks to everyone who brought beer or snacks... it was a great night for it.

Ok there are videos and photos that I will include in their own posts below this.
Enjoy and stay tuned for the rosters for Thursday night's (Schlitz) game in Milton at 9pm.

Some videos ... a little shakey but mmm mmm good.


Nelson gets a penalty as OEJ takes exception to his being in the crease. One of our few testy moments in the evening.


I think this is Jim Sullivan's goal in the third period.


Nice. The Blogger cusses with his whole family there. Of course the video was running at that moment. "what'd he just say?" Never mind buddy.

Again... the Blogger wants to give BIG PROPS to his daughter Amanda for doing such a great job with these. Thanks. You get an honorary game star for the night.

Schlidaveur Round 5: The Final Chapter?

! TONIGHT !

SCHLITZ VS. CADAVERS

BAVIS ICE ARENA ROCKLAND

7:00pm

Showdown Number Five

Tonight is the night kids. The last regular season Schlidaveur is at hand. This could be the final meeting of our double headed franchise against itself, unless we meet again in the playoffs...which certainly could happen. It did last year. So be ready.

Well, the story line this summer has been one of Suds dominance. Over the first four meetings of the two teams The Schlitz have been nearly unstoppable holding a 3-0-1 record in those games. The goal differential tells the tale on how the games went other than the 1-1 tie that started us off. Schlitz hold a 26 to 9 scoring ...ah..edge on the Zombies over the four games total.

Tonight things will be a little different as we have swapped the goalie assignments. Mike will play for the Cads and Lizzy for the suds. Also with a good "random" shake up of the rosters, hopefully we'll end up with a good match.

Check out some 'daveur stats. This is the scoring breakdown for the first four meetings. Of course Larry at the top, but he's got serious competition from Matt Elliot, Jim Sullivan, Nelson Sharfman, and Kevin Parker. Given the way these games have been going the 'daveur scoring lead is totally up for grabs.
So.... bring on the fans. Bring on the beer. Bring on some rivalry action. And bring on the game!

An early one tonight... so travel accoringly. Anyone willing to take photos or have a guest do so is welcome. Let's try to get a good group photo right at the end/begining of the game.

Looking forward to seeing you all tonight. Let the smack talk begin.

Dagerous Dave, Bill Pearlman, and Larry Bell.... just so you know. You're all on my list of "things to do" (re:smash) tonight.

Schlidaveur rd5 Roster Breakdown!

Team,
This just in from the Cambridge Schlidaveur Lunch Society. The selections have been made in the second annual Schlidaveur draft lottery. The rosters set here, today, at this table in a humble corner of Carlie's Cafeteria will serve as the rosters for Monday night's final Schlidaveur event and theoretically through the playoffs. We'll see what we end up with after dropouts and obviously availability for playoff games, so nobody get excited.
With the guidance of management, and a healthy reliance on the Hockey Gods (of chance) we cut up all the names from the combined roster then set about selecting for each squad. This is what we came up with. One thing to note. Bearded Dan (BD) wanted to be recognised as the #1 pick, as his name was the first chosen after the goalies. Another item of note was the fact that Kilroy had a BLT and the rest of the table had Cheeseburgers (1 double plate, 3 clubs).
Here we go:
Cadavers
Larry Bell
Pete Capraro
Chris Fosdick
Ken Goldenberg
Dan Gregson
Greg James

Schlidaveur Round 4... The Suds reel one in. *updated*

Schlitz (11) vs Cadavers (13)
Wednesday August 1st
Brockton 10:00pm


Schlitz 8
Cadavers 3
*slight change in Zombie scoring for 3rd period*

A nice Schlidaveur kids, with a solid turnout and some good action. This game was closer than the score would indicate, and really stayed pretty close until well into the second half. There were only 9 for the red and 8 for the yellow at the start but a few more guys trickled in and we ended up with an even 10 on 10 by about halfway through. Not bad for a late wednesday night all the way down yonder in the Brock. Big ups to those that drove a long way and some through traffic on 128 to get there.
The game started out pretty well going scoreless until just after the 12 min mark in the 1st. Then Marvelous Matt Elliot put the Suds on top with some help from a charging, sliding, and passing Mike Campbell. I think I forgot falling (and landing on Chris Fosdick) but you get the point. Matt has certainly developed a nose for the net and he wasn't done by far for the night. The score stayed 1-0 until :30seconds left in the first when Larry (Statman) Bell rung up a nice one with the help of late arriving Kevin Parker.
The game stayed tight and had lots of opportunities for both squads for the beginning of the second until... Matt Elliot strikes again on a feed from Dr. Scott Pounds this time. The game continued to see nice action and the Zombies showed they're grit by finally breaking through when Jim Sullivan put one past OEJ at the 12 min mark, assisted by Matvey. In the bloggers opinion the best flow of the game came for the next 6 min with the score 3-1. A goal by the Zombies could have changed the remainder of the game... but it just didn't happen. Not to be outdone Larry landed another goal on a nice series of passes from Mike Campbell and iJosh (another late arrival).
Things got one sided for a while after that. The Suds reeled in a few more. Unassisted goals by iJosh, Matt Elliott (again), Kevin Parker, and eventually "Bearded" Dan Gregson. The Zombies never let their pride falter and really tied the third period with another goal from Jim Sullivan, assist from Roman Kurin, and finally Dangerous Dave doing what he does on a helper from Nelson.
Blogger thanks the guys who chimed in to get the scoring right. DS, JS, RK, MN.
All in all a pretty well played game for the likes of this crew.
The only penalties to speak of were a bench minor for the mathematically challenged on the Suds squad and Larry "let 'em know you're there" Bell with a nice open field tackel/trip on Mike Hammitt as he came cruising into the Schlitz zone. Hammitt looked hungrily at Bell as he skated away... but did a good job not pile-driving him... and staying out of the box himself.
Good night in net for OEJ, as he stopped several odd man rushes toward the end of the game as the Suds defenders were continually getting *ahem* caught up ice. Not such a great night for our gal Lizzy but... we love her anyway.

Fourth period activities were well attended and hosted by the Magnificent Matt Kilroy and his Grill of Goodness. Matty hooked the crew up with Sausages with onions and peppers, just like being on Yawkey way. Mmmm mmm good. In fact I revisited that flavor a few times this morning....
Major kudos to all Beermen. Kevin Parker. Mike Campbell. Chris Fosdick. And a special blogger gold star for Dr. Jasse. Jasse mailed in the pics below.... great job.

Game Stars.....
3rd Star: Matt Kilroy... nobody does Apres Skate like you dude. Wednesday night, friday night, whatever... its always good. Thanks man.
2nd Star: Jim Sullivan. Good game for Jim with two scores. Like Elliot this dude has a nose for the net. Great effort getting chances all night.
1st Star: Gotta be... Matt Elliot. With a natural 'trick... he was around the puck and in the action all night. Great job.




Can't think of any "overheard in the parking lot" moments... you all are going to have to throw your own into the comments section.

Alright Team... that wraps this one up. Double header next Thursday with both teams playing at 10pm at different rinks. We need full turnout to fill both squads... so get freed up for Thursday.
Until the next time...
Zombie Pride and Suds of Glory

Here we go kids. Its that time again. Lets get revved up for some mid-week Schlidaveur action in the City of Champions.
Looks like a solid turn out numbers wise. This is a good rink even if it is on the moon for some of us. Management has been working on some rosters so everyone take a look and find someone you are playing against to rag on. Or talk smack... or whatever. We even have Beerman duties wrapped up at this hour so bring your game, bring your endurance, and bring your thirst for the fourth period.

Ok. There are some wild cards here. Campbell and Larry may have last minute issues, if we lose Campbell the Schlitz get Stephan. We also haven't heard from Pearlman so if he shows he can be the fill in or just join the Schlitz regardless of dropouts. I'm sure there will be some last minute roster bouncing just to make sure things are close to even. Any suggestions are welcome.
Lets go... use the comment feature and start running some smack!
See you all tomorrow night.

Schlidaveur Round 3! Friday Night at the Rock...

Schlitz(8) vs Cadavers(10)
Friday 7/13
Bavis Arena 8:10

Schlitz 7
Cadavers 4

You know the point in the beer commercial where the guys are sitting back, before the crackling fire, large breasted women handing them freshly cooked steaks, and one of them utters..."Now this is what its all about..." ...? I give you Friday night's shin-dig in Rockland... Schlidaveur Round 3. We had a nice little match with lots of Schlidaveur touches like a comeback, some new blood, some penalties, and a tremendous fourth period. "What its all about.." Indeed.
The Zombies have been snake-bit in this season's Schlidaveurs, whith the Mighty Suds now holding a 2-1-0 record in the three games. Keep in mind there are TWO Schlidaveurs remaining before the end of the summer season so there is hope for the skating dead yet.
Friday's game had it all. A quick scramble for some extra bodies was successful and thanks to Dan Murphy (courtesy Dr.Jasse), Brian Sullivan (courtesy brother Jim), and Kris Wood (courtesy OEJ), we were able to skate 8 players a side.
The teams were even picked by our netminders just before the opening draw. At this point management would like to acknowledge First Overal Pick: Pete Capraro. Wow... this guy was rated high on everyone's draft boards but...#1 overall... nice job. Of course this led to the following overheard in the parking lot; "Jesus went second!" which led to me wondering if Jesus is really not as good a prospect as Pete... Well... like I said... the fourth period was tremendous.
This game settled right into a close affair with lots of chances on both sides, but the goalkeepers did a great job keeping the game low scoring through the first two periods. Lizzy and Mike both had great stops and there was lively action in front of both nets.
We ended up at the end of the second period with the Zombies in Red up by one 3-2 thanks to a goal from Pete Capraro, and a helper from Brian Sullivan (who had a goal also). The game stayed close into the third as the other Sullivan, Jim tied the game for the Suds then gave them the lead with his second of three goals on the night (1 empty netter). The game was tied again by Billy Pearlman with a tremendous slapshot fromt the point that got a little helpful misdirections from some jerseys along the way. Now halfway through the third tied 4-4. This was shaping up to be a classic and the Suds delivered with goals by Nelson Sharfman and Larry Bell, (and Jim's empty netter) that sealed the deal going down the streach. The Zombies didn't go without a fight and everyone played strong to the end . The Cads even pulled Lizzy as time wound down and got some more help from a tackle that Larry put on Billy to give the Red a 2 man advantage, but OEJ and the Suds held tight and pulled out the win.

Some items to note on the game.
DJ had a good night with 2 assists for the Cads.
Nelson is back on the scoresheet with avengence with a 5 point night (2g, 3a) for the Suds.
Capraro had the games only other penalty and the fact that he and Matt Kilroy didn't have a "yard-sale" moment is a huge upset. Those two were going after each other all night like crazed dogs... well sort of. Every so often Mad Matt would go flying across the ice... after Pete or in his direction.
Great job by everyone.

Game Stars.
3rd Star. All three subs. Dan Murphy, Brian Sullivan, and Kris Wood. All 3 made significant contirbutions to thier teams. Thanks for coming out everyone. You are all welcome back any time.
2nd Star: Matt Kilroy for once again being a Beerman Hero and bringing SIX Pizzas for the Apres Skate experience. Always solid Matty... you spoil us.
1st Star: Veteran Star Nelson Sharfman. He was everywhere. In the net, in the corner, on the scoresheet. Great game... must be because you love those shirts so much....

The fourth period was all you could ask for given the pizza, beer from Matt, Scott, Dr.Jasse and Lizzy. Good conversation and chow. Leading to some interesting discussion of "Nutbags" See pic.

Scott gets the "Family Man" award for bringing his lovely family to the game. Big ups to Mrs. Pounds and her Daughters for being our fans for the evening... even though they sat in the "luxury suites" chowing Chinese Food (no fools the Pounds girls...). This game also resulted in a number of interesting "Overheard in the Parking Lot" quotes. Let's rattle off a few.

"That guy Smeagoled him..."
"Well it's better than getting rubbed out..."

"I'm in no hurry... have to give the wife time to get rid of her hockey night boyfriend..."
"I've been trying to get my wife to get one of those. Give me his email... I'll send him the schedule... hey, do what you want, just so long as I can play hockey."

"Who should I have picked.... Jesus F*in Christ?" This I think led to the "Jesus went second" bit...

Well... thats all I got. As always, comments are welcome and encouraged. Throw something in if you don't see it here.
Good luck to the Cads tonight. Good luck to the Suds on Tues. Updates on both games probably Wednesday.

I guess I do have one more thing.

Big Congratulations go out to Mike Campbell and his wife Laura. She did all the hard work and delivered a healthy baby boy Harrison McKinney Campbell on Thurday evening at 5:45pm. All the best to the newborn and your family from the Schlidaveurs.
