Brad's mouth guard against, well, Mike's mouth guard. Adam Dunn dueling against his own teammate, the Ostrich. It was the week of battles. I guess Friday night is alright for fighting too.
*Game one was all about the Black team. It was a 5-0 shellacking! Defense in game one by the black team was shutting down everything the white team could throw at it. Not to mention the great goal tending by Dave. "He was sensational!" one scout said of Riley. "It's too bad he doesn't play more often out in Utah, their chances in tournaments would skyrocket!"
*By Game two, the scout was singing a different tune: "Now that was a competitive game" exclaimed the scout. "But a win is a win, nonetheless." The white had a 4-3 lead and looked as if they were rolling to victory. A defeat that would have evened the days score at 1-1. It didn't happen, though. Nick, Reggie and Chris had some huge stops. Hey, even Johnny came back!
*Hey! Are you hustling? Yeah, you know who you are. Game three was a game of hustle. The most notable hustle was by the strikeout king himself. Nick not only pushed himself but he willed himself to get the Black team back in the game. (You hear that? Yeah, I hear it too) Nick out hustled Brendon and Mike D. Then he made a sensational pass to John to get the black team rolling. At the snap of the fingers, a 3-1 cushion for the white team turned into a 5-3 loss. "Burton changed that game. Without him Brett, Johnny and the rest of the team would have been looking at a bitter loss."
*Ok, i will stop writting in the third person. Did game three take the wind out the white team by the start of game four? "I think so." said one casual observer. "They looked flat. I was shocked that they [Craig] mustard out two goals in this game."
*Game Five (surprisingly we squeezed in a full fifth game. Yes we got the entire thing in!) 5-4 in favor of the white team. Yes, they managed a win. But the true story of the day for the white team was Mike D's strange ability to hit the post. Man Mike, I hit the post once and was aggravated. Is there a word to describe how you feel?

nick the black team won the fifth game, reggie scored the game winner.
jared just said next goal wins for the heck of it.
he got what would be the first goals in game six.
someone must not have written it down.
black team was 5-0
Johnny told me that we lost 5-4. Obviously some confusion there, but unless Johnny says differently im going with what the stats (will)say
Reggie probably scored the GW in game 3 or 4. The white team won game 5 despite the black team getting two lucky bounces for goals. The sixth game (or what wouldhave been the 6th game was the one that Jared said next goal wins and that game would have been only 1-0 anyway. Johnny is correct. The black team gave up the last game as JOhhny rode the bench and everyone else stopped playing pretty much.
Yes, the last game was indeed 4-5 - the white team actually got one win. Yay for those losers. whatever.
No there is not a word to describe how I felt every time (5 ro 6 times) I heard --- PING!
I want to pose a question.
Can we handle the - goalie comes way out of the net and just drops on the ball - scenerios differently??
I don't feel the goalies team should get rewarded for this by getting the ball.
Is there a reason that the attacking team doesn't get the ball at the top of the zone same way we handle a ball of out play?
I honestly think that everytime the goalie ties it up we should do a face off in the zone or attacking team should get it back at the top of the zone.
Just my 2 cents....
I see your point Mike.
Nick, nice recap.
Mike,
I agree with your point. We change things so that if the goalie ties it up, the other team gets the ball at the point. We've tried that in the past and had people complain, but we can look at changing this again.
One other point - Dave should have been included on the MVP poll for this week. He made a number of big saves for us.
Dave: Honorable Mention
