Excellent games last night everyone. For those not there the Dark Team (comprised mostly of the A-Team) won 2 out of 3 against the White Team (with mostly B-Teamers).
Game 1 was tied at 2 when Brett stole an errant clearing pass and wristed one past Darrin. Clutch goal. Dark team holds on for the victory 3-2.
Game 2 ended in a tie and when to a shootout. Steve was torched by Scotty and Mark S while Darrin turned back attempts from Mike W and Brett. White Team win.
Brett leaves to see Pink Floyd, and a goalie switch despite an excellent night from Steve in games 1 & 2 to start Game 3. Dark team jumps out to a quick 3-0 lead, only to watch the White team get two of those goals right back. Despite extending the lead to 4-2, the White team battles back to tie it. Just when it looked like we were going to another shootout, an offensive zone steal with under 10 seconds left lead to a quick give an go between John and Joe with the winning goal being scored 3 seconds before the buzzer. The most dramatic Saugus game we've had.
Random thoughts:
1. Outstanding efforts by everyone. Excellent goaltending for both teams. On the White team Scotty and JB were very good as expected, but solid games from Mike D, Bobcat, and Brad. Chris, you were late so you get no mention! Mark continues to show a very good scoring touch (look where he ranks in the stats when Nick posts them...a great start to the year). The Dark team really stepped it up when Brett had to leave. Brendon aside from a couple of gaffes (and overextended shifts where you should have subbed) you played much better defensively. Lenny did a very good job keeping the ball in at the point, and I thought Joe played excellent for his first time this year. Nick & Mike did a pretty good job containing Scotty too.
2. In addition to some nice offensive plays, loved the effort from Billy going up against Scotty. Usually only Griff can annoy Scotty that much!
3. 5-4 lead in games for the Dark Team. Overall, the Dark team has a 27-25 lead in goals scored. Very, very close.
4. I've liked the timed games. From a scoring standpoint we probably have to adjust expectations though. It used to be if you scored 5 goals it was a pretty decent night. Now, it seems like 5 goals will be the exception, not the rule. PPGs have taken a big hit across the board (by at least a whole ppg in many cases). It doesn't mean timed games are bad. We just had to adjust expectations. If you only get 3 points on the night, you might not feel great about it if you're used to more in years past. Yet now, that probably puts you among the leaders for that night.
