Early match last week between the Habs and the Flyers.  Flyers looking to get a bit of revenge on the Habs as they were Flyers only blemish this season so far.  Flyer score twice in the opening frame and if not for Habs backstop it should have been more.  Habs make it 2-1 midway through the 2nd period but Flyers get their 2 goal lead back before the 2nd period buzzer sounds.  Both goalies very sharp in this tilt up to this point.  The final frame was all Flyers as they pound the Habs with 5 unanswered goals as the Habs gas tank went empty.  Final score Flyers 8 Habs 1.  Habs rookie Desrosiers scores his first career PCOHL goal.  Flyers got a hat trick from Dr. Joel May, 2 goals each from Manning and McCormick, and a single from Diluzio.  Habs went 0-2 on the PP and Flyers went 1-4.  Players of the Game went to Habs Denis Desrosiers and Flyers Joel May.

Late game between Boston and Edmonton.  Oilers out score the Bruins 3-1 after the first period.  Bruins out score the Oilers 2-1 in the 2nd period making this a 4-3 Oiler lead with one period to go.  Bruins tie up this tilt at 11:37 of the 3rd period as great action at both ends of the pond.  This game remained all square until the Oilers score 2 goals 10 seconds apart with 5 minutes to go.  A couple more buried by the Oilers for an 8-4 victory.  Bruins went 0-1 on the PP and the Oilers were 1-1.  Bruins markers 2 from Cormier and singles from Cosentino and Annan.  For the Oilers 2 goals each for Leenaars and Nelson and singles for Maguire, Chamberlain, Spence and Rundle.  Players of the Game went to Bruins Ron Cormier and Oilers Rob Leenaars.

Boys a friendly reminder to be very aware of how you conduct yourself on the ice, especially if you are a big guy.  Driving to the net to try and score and wiping out our goalie is not what our Friday night league is about.  Most likely and hopefully it is unintentional it still doesn’t make it right  Now you cause the defenseman to do what he needs to do to protect his goalie and try and keep you out of the crease, this all leads to a defenceless goalie getting injured.  The Exec are reviewing this specific action and will let the league know that it will be dealt with harshly regardless if you call it a ‘hockey play’ or not.

Also a reminder our 50/50 Holiday Fundraiser tickets are printed and this week Mark Plewes will be around selling them.  1 ticket for $5 or 5 tickets for $20.  If anyone also can donate any prizes for more winners please bring them to Mark Plewes who plays for the Flyers.  Members, family and friends can all purchase these tickets.  Half the proceeds will go to the winner and half will go to our league budget.  Next season is our 30th and we are planning on getting new sweaters and socks.  Early in the new year we will be canvassing all members for their recommendations on teams for next season before we make our final decision.  Give it some thought and let any of the Exec know.

OK so this weeks games, Friday, November 13 are as follows;  9:15 Oilers vs Canadians and 10:30 our top 2 teams will battle it out as the Flyers face off against the Islanders, should be a doozy.  Bruins get the week off.

See you all on the ice!
