Can I borrow your "Defensive" Stick
Doing nothing offensively… turns out Jim Barber grabbed the wrong stick from the trunk of his car. He accidently grabbed his “Defense” stick… as the only goal of the game for FOURget About-it was when Jim covered the point for a pinching defenseman. Jim kept the ball in at the line resulting in the Carlos Machado sole goal of the game.
After the game Ray Dow noticed Colleen Sedille taping a Hockeytown loaner stick… and instead Ray picked up Jim’s stick knowing that his stick had no offense in it (from the previous game) and offered it to Colleen.
That stick paid dividends for Colleen as she helped anchor a 5-1 win with a solid performance with her borrowed Bauer Defensive stick.
How do dasher boards serve a penalty?
We weren’t surprised to see the refs NOT call a penalty on the dasher board right in front of the Goodfella’s bench. They’ve been missing calls all year. The latest call they missed was Mario Deluca (all by himself) and not an opposing player within 10-feet chase down a ball in his own zone… only to get a vicious check by the dasher boards.
While Mario was down and a bit embarrassed from his unprovoked collision with the boards… he was quickly helped up by Steve Oppedisano who gave him some words of comfort… “It happens kid, I fall all the time for no reason”
“Super Mario” or Drunk Mario?
"Super Mario" a phrase created by Nintendo and adopted by Mario Lemieux… There is just no way can we use that nickname to describe Mario Deluca (the only Mario in the league).
We especially cannot use the nickname “Super Mario” even if he scores goals from the point… after the secret video that surfaced of him and Brother Angelo Deluca playing in their backyard.
The video might help to explain why Mario was checked by an inanimate object.
