Retaliation


5 Darrin - Yup! Back to five spots this week with such great support. Darrin's first period of saving breakaway after breakaway was very helpful as the Chiefs really came out strong and pressured the ball and had that kid in blue just hang out at the line all night.

4 Nick - Nice to know the Gamewinners!!! will have him for half the games for the rest of the season. Nick was back to his old ways, winning board battles and was even sent on a partial breakaway that he couldn't finish and therefore remains behind Bradley in the point’s race. Plus did you see the funny face he makes when he was trying to catch up to the guy who had all the breakaways? Hilarious

3 Brett - Brett and Nick would be a perfect defensive pair if they could play together. Offensive defenseman and defensive defenseman. NHL 12 would give that pair a 100% chemistry. But unfortunately they need to be split up to make up for the likes of Billy Thomas. Brett's still keeping pace with Borges from back on defense. Jareds fallen way off the pace. Already 2 behind Brett and JB at the start of the game last night.

2 Ron - Was a sight for sore eyes. Well his moustache anyway. Forgot how awesome that thing is. Any who, Ron got some key goals and it was just great to see him working the half boards and out maneuvering the other team’s top player even though he's about 57 years older than him.

1 Johnny - With Borges and Jared not scoring, the rest of the team stepped up. Johnny especially. His first goal was, shall I say, fortunate. The ol' Johnny Riley hand-eye coordination we all came to know and love in Saugus, showed itself on his first goal. Which surprised me. The way the game was going I thought the Chiefs would score first and we all know how the Alliance play when they don’t score first(hopefully the Gamewinners are different). Johnny's first goal set the wheels in motion for the big win.

Honorable Mention: Eric

Just cause we'll never see him again in Dracut
