OK some interesting outcomes last week.

Early game between our bottom 2 teams the Habs and the Oilers.

Goalies for this massive tilt, Rispoli for the Oilers and Ervin for the Habs.  Was this pic taken before the game or after???  Who will come out on top you say?  Both squads down top skaters for this game.  The opening frame was devasting for the Habs as the Oilers bang out 5 goals and Habs just manage 1.  Oilers go out on top 6-1 early in the 2nd frame.  Habs get a bit of jump and score 3 times making it a game at 6-4.  Oilers get 2 more goals in the 2nd but these feisty Habs get 2 themselves to close out the 2nd period with the Oilers on top 8-6.  Last goal wins maybe.  Habs make it an 8-7 game at the 9 minute mark.  A lull in scoring for the next 6 minutes until the Habs tie up this match at 8’s with just under 3 minutes to go.  Habs complete the surprising comeback taking the lead for the first time with 90 ticks left on the clock.  My oh my, Oilers press the rest of the way but Ervin shuts down the farm door and Habs win, Habs win, oh Tabarnac!!  Both squads went 0-1 on the PP.  Habs get 4 goals from Rukavina, 2 from Randa and singles from Desrosier, Chantaj and Peacock (best looking Oldtimer, I meant best name).  Oilers goal scorers, 2 each from Leenaars, Kelly and Burke and singles from Ree and Brideau.  Players of the Game went to Habs Rukavina and Oilers Brian Burke (my head my head!)  What a game just like the 80’s fire wagon hockey!

Late game between our top 2 squads with the winner getting bragging rights for at least a week of calling themselves #1.  Islanders and Flyers faced off at 10:30 pm. Both these titans scored 1 goal apiece in the opening frame and deja vu in the 2nd as they headed to the final period all square at 2 a piece.  McCallum and fill in Senkowski looked sharp at both ends.  Islanders took a 3-2 lead at 12:46 of the 3rd and a crushing 4-2 lead at 9:48.  One more Islander goal and thats how this one finished Islanders 5 Flyers 2.  Good hockey game.  Flyers went 0-2 on the PP and Islanders were 0-0.  Islanders get 2 goals from league leader McKean, running away with the scoring race early on and on a 3+ points per game tear.  Singles from Tygesen, Riddell and Connell.  Flyers get goals from the Italian Stallion Diluzio and the ‘munja cake’ Dan Barrett.  Players of the Game went to Islanders fill in backstop Art Senkowski and Flyers Dan Barrett a beast on the blue line.

So thats it, reminder to get in on our 50/50 Holiday Fundraiser and buy tickets from Mark Plewes.  $5 for 1 and $20 for 5.  Any corporate prize donations would be greatly appreciated.  Draw to be held December 11 between games.

This weeks games for Friday, November 20 (where is this year gone?)  9:15 Islanders battle the rested Bruins.  10:30 Flyers face off against the stunned Oilers looking to rebound this week.  Habs get the week off and were awarded by ownership with extra large poutine for all the players and a night out at the ballet????
