WEEKLY UPDATE

We had our first full night of playoff games this week and they didnt dissapoint with 3 games seeing overtimes and some hard fought, intense action on the floor in each and every game as all teams were looking to extend their season. Read on to see who moves on and who went home.

To those teams that played their last game of the season, we hope you enjoyed the league and we will see you back on the floor for the Summer season which starts in May. We now look forward to the last Sunday of the season to determine our season champs.

RECAPS

C - Blue Eagles (9) vs Cyclones (8) - Our first playoff game of the week was in the C division and it was a barn burner. CYC jumped out to a quick lead scoring 2 goals 5 minutes part but BE battled back with 3 straight goals to finish the period as they took a 3-2 lead at half. CYC quickly got the game tied up in the second but BE took their lead back less than a minute later. CYC would score two goals 10 seconds apart to take the lead back since the first period. With 3 minutes to play they would put the game out of reach scoring two goals a minute apart. BE got one back in the final minute of the game but would fall just short as CYC moved on to game two later in the evening with the 7-5 win. Top Scorer was Mason Marchand (2G/1A)

A - Scared Hitless (4) vs Good Canadian Kids (1) – We had a fast paced A division semi-final as both teams were barely giving any space. We didn’t get a goal until the final minute of the half as GCK took the lead off a turnover in the slot. That was it for the period as GCK were up 1-0 at the break with both teams looking to pick up the scoring in the second. In the second period it played out much like the first as goals were hard to come by. GCK add an insurance goal off a lucky bounce as the ball hit a foot, went over 3 people and in the net. SH would pull their keep with 3 minutes to play looking for the late push. After some hard work down low they just couldn’t buy a goal and GCK closed the game out with a couple of empty netters as they move on to the finals with a 4-0 win. Top Performer was Mitch Tennian (0G/20 shots)

C -Cyclones (8) vs Torpedo Owls (1) – We had our 2nd C division matchup as CYC were playing their second game of the night. TO scored 20 seconds into the game for the quick start but a minute later CYC got the equalizer. TO retook the lead a few minutes later but CYC responded in a big way as they put up 4 unanswered goals. That would give them a 5-2 lead heading to the second with a ton of momentum. TO would be short handed early in the second but went on to score two shorty’s to put them right back in it. They followed that with another pair of goals as they now had the lead once again. The teams would trade goals back and forth leading us to our first overtime of the season. 4v4 would solve anything as we went to 3v3 and it looked like that was not going to get a winner either, however TO found the back of the net with 2 seconds left on the clock sending them to a match next week with the 8-7 OT win. Top Scorer was Remy Lizotte (3G/1A; OT Winner)

C - Wolfpack (7) vs The County Blade (2) – Continuing in the C division we had a largest margin of score spread of the night to this point. WLF scored a couple minutes in while TCB responded shortly after that keeping it even. WLF finished off the half scoring 3 goals in a row as they took a 4-1 lead into the second period. WLF had all the momentum from the late goal as they scored 5 unanswered goals to blow the game wide open. With WLF up by a large margin they took the foot off the gas and TCB were able to finish the game scoring 3 goals to make it respectable as WLF won big by a score of 9-4. Top Scorer was Jeff Levey (1G/7A)

B - Puck With Us (4) vs Noel Properties (1) – Our first B division playoff game of the evening saw high intensity as both teams were playing with an edge. NP got the games first goal scoring just over a minute in. PWU answered back with back to back to back goals as they took a 3-1 lead into the second period. PWU extended the lead further with a PP goal from a penalty that carried over the break scoring 30 seconds into it. NP were keeping themselves within reach as they scored less than a minute after that now down by 2. The teams traded goals after that back and forth with NP keeping it within a 2 goal deficit. With just over 2 minutes left PWU scored a pair of goals to essentially put the game to bed and they would add one more in the empty net to finish it off. PWU advanced with the 8-3 win. Top scorer was Tyler Cayen (3G/2A)

A - North Stars (3) vs Godfathers (2) – Our other A division semi-final was a game of the night candidate as this one was highly entertaining. Before you could blink NS were quickly up by 2 as they scored a pair of goals in the first minute. GF kept composed and came back scoring a couple less then 2 minutes apart as they were right back in it. They would take the lead shortly after with 8 minutes left in the period. NS tied the game up just before half giving us a 3-3 scored a the mid way point. We needed 13 minutes for the next lead and it was NS taking it back scoring back to back goals restoring the 2 goal edge. GF brought it back to a one goal deficit with 4 minutes to go and they would pull their keeper in the final minute. Lo and behold they would even the game up with 30 seconds as we needed overtime. Both teams played with an air of nervousness and with 2 minutes left NS caught a lucky break for the rebound goal down low as they won this hard fought game by a score of 6-5. Top Scorer was Claude Blondeau (1G/2A)

B - Morning Wood (3) vs Wobbly Pops (2) – In the B division we had another game of the night candidate as we need the full time and extra to find the winner. It was a controlled first half for WOP as they were the only team to score in the period putting up 3 as they took the 3-0 lead into the second half. MW started to chip at the WOP armor bit by bit in the 2nd. They scored back to back goals to start the period making it a one goal game. WOP got the goals back scoring two goals a few minutes apart for the 3 goal lead once more. With 3 minutes left MW got back in it with a goal and then scored another with a minute left to make it interesting. They pulled the keeper and it paid off scoring with 20 seconds left in regulation. We needed overtime and it didn’t take long as MW completed the comeback a minute into OT scoring from the slot. They advanced to next week with the 6-5 OT win. Top Scorer was Zach Thomas (1G/2A)

C - Backdoor Puck 9 (5) vs The Outsiders (4) – Our final game of the night saw two teams that played last to finish off the season now playing against in a playoff matchup in the C division. OUT took the win in the game last week and started off on the right foot this week. Both teams trade a goal to start the period but OUT put up 4 goals on the scoresheet in a 3 minute span to have a big lead. Before the period was over BDP got one back to make it 5-2 heading into the second. BDP continued where they left off scoring early to make it a 2 goal game. With 15 minutes left to play OUT put the game the game back to a 3 goal spread and never looked back as they scored 2 more goals after while shutting the door. They move on to next week in their inaugural season with the 8-3 2 win. Top Scorer was Dan Boulanger (2G/1A)
