The Return of the Timely Recap

They said it would never be back. Our beloved and glorified stat based game of exhaustion was all but a distant memory.

The stats set in stone. Never to be added to. Records never to be broken. John Riley forever our Colossus of Clout (The Colossus of Clout). 

Some said we’d never play again. 

Some said they wouldn’t play again. (he did)

Empty Cries for hockey’s return were mostly scoffed at. 

Saugus hockey was officially dead.

But with a stroke of a pen and 46 cents Saugus is back upon us and its back big!

Sibling Rivalry:

Andrew vs. Elliot

Game 1: 

This game was by far the best game of the night. It was everything you could ask for in a game. In came down to the final seconds. Records were broken. There were some great saves. I didn’t get embarrassed on any play. And thank goodness for that or I would have tackled someone Im sure. The final was 6-5 with Brett getting a point on every goal that was scored. Thats how a first round pick performs! The game was back forth until the last 5 mins when the dark team put the game away with two goals. The game ended with ball dangling in the net.

Game 2: 

The story of this game was of who didnt show up rather than who did. The only good that came from this game is that Nick didn’t tackle anyone. Otherwise this game was an utter disaster for the dark team (udder? Its kind like roomer and rumor, right?). Reggie’s game one magic on d was gone as fast as it came after getting burned by Andrew. Nick slowed down big time, with a lazy effort at best. Frendon couldn’t get the ball over the center line. Brett and Ron disappeared. The recipe for a dominating effort by the White team. A weak goal allowed by Tony capped off a 6-0 White Team win with 14 minutes still left on the clock. 

Game 3:

It came down to this for the series. Unlike the first two games this was a defensive battle. Both teams were tired and goals were definitely difficult to “muster”. After matching goals to start the game the dark team (and Brett..stats!) was given a gift wrapped goal despite the shot being filthy. A 100 footer found a seam past Griff’s face and Johnny’s pads to hit twine for a 2-1 dark team lead. The dark team was able to add one more goal to clinch a victory and the series. However, the game may be in protest after Nick nearly killed Mike Ward. Did anyone ask Nick what his motives were?

"Im trying to create some space!'

"should I leave the corner of the rink, now? now? how about now?"
