Sunday hockey left a vital player for the Alliance (also known as The New Hampshire The Alliance) unable to play monday night. Eric was in bethel (must have been a girl there). Joe Italiano was watching the B's. And Ron was a no show. Rumer has it he was practicing with Bobcat at an undisclosed location.
That left us with six guys. Me, Jared, Griff, Nick, Jonny, Billy and Nick in net. The Mustangs had 8 guys. Ice time was not an issue on this night.
We came out strong controlling most of the play to start but could not bury one. They were able to score on there first rush on a weak goal. We were once again down after dominating play. They turned up the intensity and started out running and out hustling us. They scored another goal and we were down 2-0 after the first period. We came out in the second strong. Jared was able to score on a nice shot from the high slot. Things started getting chippy. We were playing against a team full of angry Griffs. Fortunately we had the authentic thing. The refs started handing out penalties to try and calm things down. It really didnt work. The battles continued. penalties were handed out and in the end they had a guy thrown out. The score remained 2-1 nearing the end of the 3rd. We called a timeout with 1 minute left and pulled the goalie. Now the whole team was out there and it was go time. The plan was to crash the net with billy staying back covering D. After 3 faceoffs and coverups by the goalie time was running out. We won the faceoff and it got to Jared he was pressured and out of nowhere came a wide open Billy licking his chops. Jared fed him and without hesitation he fired the shot through a heavy screen. And with 10 seconds left buried a huge goal 5 hole! Who would have thunk it. To overtime we went. 4 on 4 for 4 minutes. It looked like it was going to a shootout and with every one exhausted jonny found Jared in the slot. He let a quick wrister go and found an opening between the 5 hole! We all went wild. Won of the best wins we have had. The whole team showed heart and no quit. Such a satisfying win. And to top it off we finished in time to see the bruins win it! Go B's.
Great job by the whole team. Nick was gritty back there and pinched in nicely. Griff battled in front of the net all game and hustled like an animal. Jonny found the open areas and found a second gear late in the game. Jared ran his butt off like usual and scored huge goals for us. And billy was the star of the game playing almost the whole time and scoring the goal to tie it up and send it to OT! AWSOME GAME GUYS!
Next week we play one of the best teams in the league, the Mutiny. Everyone better be there! No excuses!

Does that count as the recap? My phone won't be exploding?
I was going to write the recap but I ended up changing some formats on the site for brett. It actually took longer Than i expected.
The anonymous comments are back...I know I know. Brett will make the site blow up again I'm sure.
Borges nice recap btw, always full of compliments for all.
what if my eye is swelling due to the blood spreading?
Brett is faking his injury
I love whoever did the link for past tourney recaps. 2009 game 3 was the best...bretts infamous "poetry" about brendon...and it slowly turned into brendon telling Brett to read a 1961 watchtower...great read
If only Johnny didn't edit that post. I do like the fact he turned it into poetry though.
I skimmed thru that recap. Whats really funny is that its all the same crap that Frendon argues about now. Has he always been this way?
I will say it is pretty entertaining.
Maybe if I complain about the stats they will get updated.
Johnny only had 2 goals this past week. That translates to a 2 month delay of stats minimum.
Johnny if it gets the stats posted faster, you can have the goal that was given to Rick. And give Nick the assist.
This is a regular friday night ice hockey player. brett nice make up job. theres no concussion there, play ice hockey friday or the next time you play i do a backstrom cross check on ya
Yes Brett, there is no explanation of the injury in the recap, thus it is fake, you look like Daniel Son from the original 'Karate Kid'...Sweep the leg!!!
Actually 4 goals, but the more important thing is two weeks left of school to have the time.
did u score in game 6? I didn't add stats from game six cause they weren't kept.
Since we are counting phantom goals last Sunday, I had 4 myself. Please make sure they are counted.
didn't i say before the stats were posted no complaining? They are what they are. It's your word vs the stats sheet. Stat sheet always wins.
Blog cop. Blog cop. Brett is the blog cop.
Can we get the coach's version of wpr today?
Good game last night, I had fun. I thought we played pretty well but we just couldn't beat a very good goalie. Still a couple bad "tired" shifts we need to weed out.
I thought the 5 on 3 killed us, we were owning the tempo at that point and then they were given a free goal.
That little fat kid stinks. I liked when he tried to flip the ball over me because he kept getting beat and he lifted it so high he hit the tarp.. Ha. He was so mad..he was so entertaining to play against.
WPR said he wrote up the rankings and went to post them and the blogger crapped its pants and made an error.
sad to say, he wont be re-writing them
Yeah blogger has ruined some good recaps that way too.
Speaking of which, I'm due for one of those.
C.P.R. (coaches power rankings)
3. Joe- Only his second week but has come right in and played the way I love. He stands the guys up in the neutral zone and always is looking for the lane to sneak in and get an open shot on net.
2. Nick- He was looking like he might be washed up at the ripe old age of 20 but he looked like the nick of old. He won every battle in the boards and everywhere else. By the end of the game the other team just gave up any time they say the nick monster in the play.
3. Billy- Ever since billy cut away the anchor known as bobcat he has been playing the way we need him to in order to win. Battling and playing confidently he has been great defensively and scored a huge goal last week and scored the only goal this week. A duel threat!
Game Notes- We out played them for 28 minutes. We need to come out stong right from the begining. With our full team we have no excuses!
3...2...3
The defense represents!
"the anchor known as bobcat"...awesome.
Go b's!
d deserved the props. they scored on a 5 on 3 goal. and a weak shot from far out. the O didnt do anything. all of us up front have to take the blame on that.
P.S. this game is giving me a heart attack!
That sucks.
the bruins terrible power play finally caught up to them
is anyone else sick of seeing my face everytime they come to this site?
Haha. Thats funny Brett.
And the answer is yes. Yes we are all sick of seeing your face.
Time for a new thread!!
You mean a theard, billy.
Lol.
Brett how is the discoloration?
Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.
Johnny if it gets the stats posted faster, you can have the goal that was given to Rick. And give Nick the assist.
