322-minutes
It only took Ray Nickerson 10-games to finally score his first goal of the season.
We were beginning to think that along with losing his scoring touch he was starting to lose his passing touch as during the opening minutes linemante Matty Iannello was giving Ray an earful after his errant pass to the point left the offensive zone in a hurry.
We… Ray’s monkey is finally off his back and it only took 30-periods and 322-minutes for Ray to score his first goal of the season.., Welcome back Ray and just in tme for a playoff push
Marginal Calls
When will the “Stolen Valor” end? Last week we watched the League Director put on a Referee shirt and pawn himself off as a “Certified Patched Referee.”
After last week’s marginal calls we want to see his Referee Diploma.
Captain Collision
Last week Opposing Captains Jim Barber and Jamie Kehoe battled for a loose ball that resulted in an entanglement and collision.
While Jamie lay motionless and helmet-less the play continued around him with Jim poking the ball to Derrick Power who went top shelf for his 2nd goal of the year.., if only it counted for Derrick.
Poor Derrick got robbed of a “good goal” after both referees got together and came up with the conclusion that Jim “tripped??” Jamie (even though it was not the referee’s end) and negated Derricks efforts goal that would have put him one head of his teammate Ray Nickerson.
Secret
Last week Nick Doherty said to Colleen O’Connell “Can I tell you a secret?”
That was Nick’s first mistake.., never tell a woman a secret. Haven’t you ever watch The Real Housewives of (pick a city).., they love to gossip.
His second mistake was telling Colleen the secret was; “We have 6-players on the dek”
Colleen quickly counted “1-2-3-4-5-6… yep!”.., and then proceeded to rat Nick and the rest of the Loose Cannons out to the referee.
So there you go John Kelleher and the rest of the Loose Cannons… you have a “Benedict Arnold” within your ranks.
Bundled
Gary “Stonehands” Goodwin reminded they league last week that not only is he having a potential career season.., but he also still has the ability to put players on their asses.
Last week Gary “Bundled” Jason Carrien’s Home, Auto and Defense into one package that knocked Jay on his ass with a follow-up tumbling roll.
Once again.., it was a marginal call as Gary just outmuscled Jason for the ball.
“LeDom”
Much like is idle LeBron.., who do you want handling the ball in overtime and taking that last shot for his team? “LeDom” or Joe Carlton?
I’m Last week Dominic DeFrancisco demonstrated why he is still force to be reckoned with as “LeDom” used his stick for good instead of destruction in overtime when he busted out his own zone to send himself on a breakaway for the GWG.
40%
Omertà only had 40% of their roster when they took on the last place, Last Call.
This was a prime opportunity to steal a game from the defending champs and get their first win since Week #5 (January 30th) against the Gold Miners.
Omertà Goaltender Dave Giusti had other plans as Dave only let up 2-goals on 22-shots while his forwards pounded Last Call with 31-shots and 6-goals.
Rumor has it that Chris Ducharme is coming off IR this week… does Last Call have what it takes to turn this ship around before the playoffs?
IOC Update
With 3-games left in the season Team Italy is running away with gold medal this season. With Last Call in sole possession of “Last Place” the only thing worth playing for is their country’s pride.
