It Was Intentional Nick
10 Brendon (-2) - Blame Demaio’s refusal to play defense for why you’re here and also blame your synapses for misfiring every time someone forechecks you and you wait until it’s too late to make a play. Almost okeydoked Brett for a goal tho which would’ve knocked Brett off of WPR completely if you scored. What could’ve been.
9 Demaio - Shadowing a player isn’t working. Neither is not scoring. And neither is passing to Jared every time you get the ball. I see a DD in his future. (Demoted to defense not drunk driving)
8 Mike M - He turned the clock back and had more energy than anyone else it seemed. Even on a night with no subs Mike kept the legs moving on the forecheck and it paid off with some nice well deserved, hard earned goals.
7 Jared (E) - Take out his lazy, effortless half-court goals and all he’s accomplished over the past month or so is that he got Drew to quit Saugus(again). Maybe drew plays these next 2 weeks with Jared out of the state. Drew could get revenge and help ruin Jared’s vacation if Jared knows there’s Saugus hockey being played without him.
6 Ward (-3) - Just couldn’t quite stuff that ball between Griff’s pads.
5 Nick (E) - He had a Game winner. I should probably stop there or else I might say something to make him retire again. The “(E)” stands for eggshells. Eggshells Burton. Cant criticize him too much. If he misses next week the E might turn to a D for Drew Burton.
4 Borges (+2) - Was the calming presence the white team needed with Brett getting all hot and bothered over a play that happens 7 times a game. Johnny can you generate a stat that measures how valuable a players demeanor is to a team? I’m just trying to get Borges on the stat sheet somehow cause goals and assists just aren’t doing it.
3 Johnny (+1) - Game one may have gone differently had Johnny burried a few more of his chances in the slot like he usually does. But his heads up play to beat nick to the net for the game winner saved the day on a game that was slipping away from the white team.
2 Brett (-1) - Game one was rough for him with the blatant non hooking call getting in his head and missing high on 2 open nets. Game 2 was a different story tho. His ability to rise above Nicks ok to good defense and even above Dave’s great goaltending should serve as a reminder for Jared to not poke the bear. (No need for a link. I guarantee you all read that in jack edwards voice)
1 Dave (+1) - Should be penalized for making 2 games last 2 hours. But I can’t remember the last time a goalie made so many saves in a night.
Honorable Mention: Griff - Every time he went down to make a save he got back up. Eventually.
Billy T - Not an honorable Mention. Just a regular Mention. You played well beside JB. There’s just so much more to say on Brendon every week.
