7/30 THE REAPERS SHOCK THE BAY! THE REAPERS
SHOCK THE BAY! The Reapers stun the Mighty Astoria
Knights with an stunning Overtime victory that will send them
into the A Elite Finals! The setting a hockey rink
off Coyle street and Voorhiees as you all know as THE BAY,
and not Lake Placid. A squad of seven gritty men and a goalie
who can hold his own in big games all took their game to the next
level for at least one night of play. Missing many big guns in
their line up they were still able to provide the most memorable
win. The 9 and 1 power house from Astoria would get on
the board first with an Rob Alibrandi goal and this usually gets
the steam roller going but instead Mike Goucher would put home
a breakaway goal for a 1-1 game after one and then you knew it
was on! A back and forth battle would commence as Mike Carpanini
makes for a 2-1 Astoria lead but Reapers Dimitri
Kotlyar would put home a short handed breakaway goal with 4:45
remaining in period two for a 2-2 game as the struggle would continue.
Just a minute later Rob Alibrandi would put home his second of
the night and the Knights would take a 3-2 lead into the
third. Early on in the would be final session Dimitri Kotlyar
would strike again off a rebound for a 3-3 game, oh the action.
But soon after Mike Carpanini would put his Knights back
on top again this time 4-3 connecting on his second of the evening.
The game had the feel like you were just waiting for the Astoria
Knights to take that two goal lead but it would just never
pan out for the club. Time running out under three minutes to
go Reapers pressuring and franchise Reaper Michael
Goucher wouldn't let his team down because he was in the mood
to play hockey and evened the game at four with 2:41 remaining
in regulation. Jesse Hetzler Owner of the Reapers club
and Jackie's deli know for taking late penalties, making sandwiches
and wrapping his new Reaper logo tattoo in plastic before
games would get called for holding with under two minutes to play.
Billy Fox not Pat Black (he had late dinner plans) made many big
saves on the night but also came up big in the final two minutes
of play, the game would soon need overtime but not much. Just
:52 into the the extra session an Astoria mishap deep in
their own zone Goucher (again), would intercept step around a
defensenman and then sneak one in past the goal crease and the
miracle on Coyle street was complete. Reapers 5 Astoria
Knights 4 OT final. The seven men and a goalie who were involved
in the upset. Mike Goucher, Mike Byrne (hockey gods spoke), Dimitri
Kotlyar, Jesse Hetzler, Sam Pontillo, Justin Dooley, PJ Mac (he's
45) and goaltender Bill Fox (the long awaited). Moving on, now
the Reapers will go for two Kings Bay Cup titles
in one season. The A Elite title vs Marine Park
and the BIG B vs the Kings, History will be made!
Stay tuned for dates, playoff stats and some crazy polls. This
is "The Bay" Hockey!
7/29 The Reapers will be shooting for a third Cup, some Men
are just too Mad to go down and a Dragons upset? The Reaper
and Kings will both be going for Kings Bay Cup number
three and the winner will be on top of the heap with most Cups
won in the BIG B. Mike Gouch would open up the scoring
for the Reapers to horns but friendly foe Patrick Mulroy
would have two answers as the Blanks would leave period
one up 2-1. But in period two Goucher would shout back for two
more and it would soon be Goucher 3 Mulroy 2, I mean Reapers
3 Shooting Blanks 2 after two. Could the Reapers
hold on in the final session and stop the four game skid against
the high scoring Blanks club including last seasons finals?
The skid would end as Dooley and Clingo would hook up in the third
and Paulie Lind would put the final nail in the coffin with a
slap shot from the point. The Reapers are Kings Bay
Cup bound and a meeting will be set up with the Kings for
glory, indeed stay tuned for the up coming dates! The Mad
Men will be headed off to the Draft League finals with
a win over the Cool Runnings Crew. After Munday and Conte
would trade goals after one the Mad Men were able to win
period two 3-2. The back breaker would be franchise owners Phil
Rykla's snipe with just :33 tics left in the second and a 4-3
lead going into the third. After a back and forth struggle for
space in the final session Dom Rubino would deliver the final
blow with a cannon from the point that would dart home and take
those Maddest Men into the Draft Finals. Quick stat flash
Dom Rubino has played in every draft league final and has most
cups won as a draft player with three out of the four titles.
Mad Men will now see Charles Sbrigato's Dragons
in the best of three series. No number one team draft pick no
problem as the Dragons were able to get by the confidant
Zorros heading into play. The Zorros came out with
the fire first with a two zip lead but a very late goal from Charles
had the Dragons thinking positive again like a number one
seed. After Delcallime would give the Zorros a two goal
lead again, late show Peter Pas would get his Dragons back
within one with a turn over blaze. Fill in Dragon player
Steve Balsan would bury a Sbrigato rebound and we had a 3-3 tie
going into the final session. After missing two earlier breakaway
attempts Dimitri Kotlyar would convert in the third for the fire
breathing Dragons twice, putting his comrade's ahead 4-3
and then 5-3 for a two goal lead. The Zorros would get
a late one back on a Billy Buckman goal but Dragons goalie
Billy Fox would hold the fort down the rest of the way and send
the Dragons franchise into the their third Cup appearance
with two Cups to show. It's the Dragons and Mad Men
left, one team will lift the Cup. Backed up on playoff stats but
all that good stuff will be updated shortly. I'll see ya soon!
7/28 Marine Park third period push gets them into Finals while
the Mad Men roll into the semi's in Draft! A back and forth
scoring battle through two between Marine Park and Sky
Line and the two teams were tied at five through the fist
thirty minutes of play. Maine Park would have a two goal
lead twice through those periods with a 3-1 and 4-2 lead only
to see the Sky Line wipe out the deficits and tie the game
at five on a penalty shot tallied by Bobby Kasimis. But the A
Elite Scoring champ would come through in third. KC Krober
would put home back to back goals for the Park finishing
off his hat-trick and adding an assist for a four point night.
The Park would score the next two goals as well build their
lead and skate away with a 9-6 victory. Marine Park is
headed for the A Elite Kings Bay Finals and will face the
winner of the Astoria Knights Reapers game to see who they
will battle in the best of three series for the Cup. In draft
play the Mad Men stormed out the gate after one with a
4-1 lead, but drama would unfold in the second. As Mad Men
starting goalie Scott Adelle went to race for a loose puck
he pulled an undisclosed body part and wasn't able to finish the
game. On the play Joe Jensen was able to get to that puck and
tuck it into the empty net for a 4-2 game. Fill in League goalie
Kevin "Slim" Rothchild was called upon and came
to the rescue for the Mad Men finishing the game. After
making a couple of big saves in relief the Mad Men would
pick up the play. G. Soriano would score the next two Mad Men
goals and finish with four goals on the night while Bob Munday
would put home two and dish two off for a four point outing. Final
score 8-3 and the Mad Men will tangle with Cool Runnings
Crew tonight for the right to go to the Draft League Finals.
It will be a game time decision if Mad Men starting goalie
Scotty Adelle will be able to dress or draft league goalies will
be called upon. Playoff stats will be updated shortly.
7/24 Week 15 Schedules Posted.
7/22 A Crew Runs Cool into the Semi's while Reapers and Shooting
Blanks get postponed! A goal scoring parade with seventeen
goals scored combined the Cool Runnings Crew were able
to out mesh the Flids 10-7. Flids left period one
up 3-2 but Cool Runnings were able to take the final two
periods by two, 3-1 and 5-3 for the 10-7 final. The game was a
good one as the Flids were in striking distance only down
a goal with just 6:02 remaining but the Cool Runnings Crew
were able to connect twice the rest of the way for the win. Rich
Conte lead the way for the CR Crew with a four goal night
while Nick Mazzola was good for a trick. Barbuto and Weston also
got in on the goal scoring affair. In the loss the Flids
Mike and Mike, Byrne and Goucher both had a hat-trick each. Cool
Runnings Crew move onto the semifinal round and will face
the winner of the BMW Mad Men game while the Zorros
will see the top seeded Dragons. All pages updated including
Draft playoff league leaders.
7/21 Zorros mark a Z in OT, Knights poised for playoffs and
Marine Park make a meaningless game meaningful! The Zorros
and Bay Brewery set off the first Draft playoff game
and set the tone. After the Zorros would come out flying
they would soon build a for a 4-1 lead mid way through the second.
The Bay Brewery would score a late goal at the end of the
period to make for a 4-2 game going into the third and that had
them thinking positively. The Bay Brewery would storm in
the third scoring the next three goals for a brief 5-4 lead as
the Zorros would quickly tie the game at five. A late power
play goal with under two minutes to play would give the Brewery
a 6-5 lead but with the Zorros goalie pulled the Brewery
would put the Zorros on the power play taking a bad
penalty for a two man advantage and an empty net behind them.
With a scramble behind the Brew goal a pass off J. Espo's
stick would hit Pat Mulroy as he would bury a puck top shelf for
the game tying goal at 6-6 with only :14 left and that would send
us into OT. Zorros were the more aggressive team in the
extra session even though the Bay Brew goalie stood on
his head the sandwich boy would come though. Ripping a shot from
the top circle Jesse Hetzler Captain Zorro would end the game
and send his team to the semi's. Hetzler's the hero so free hero's
at Jackie's all day today! Two Pat Mulroy goals for the Astoria
Knights and holding a 2-1 lead into the final session Astoria
would get goals from Rob Alibrandi and Joe Barker skating away
with a 4-1 win going into the playoffs next week. They will face
off with the Reapers as Marine Park will go against
the Sky Line. Marine Park took a 7-1 lead over the
Reapers but would soon fall asleep as the game was soon
7-6 with 9:37 left in regulation. The Park would go up
by two on a beautiful diving goal from Mike Russo but Reapers
would strike again with 1:46 left for another one goal game. Reapers
would press but the Park would sail in an empty netter
from their own zone and that would seal the deal for the Park
with a 9-7 victory. Marine Park's KC Krober would have
a big night in the Bay putting up five of his teams points
with a hat-trick and two assists but more important his big night
wins him the A Elite scoring title with a 25 point season.
As KC took down the scoring title Astoria Knights goalie
G. Athanasiadis lead all goalies this season with a stunning 1.30
Goals Against Average while nailing down four shutouts. Final
A Elite standings, team pages and league leader pages posted.
Draft playoff stats will be posted shortly.

7/17 All Pages Updated. In the BIG B as you know where
down to our final three teams ( Kings, Shooting Blanks
and Reapers), what you might not of known is that all three
of these teams have two Kings Bay Cups under their belt.

Bay titles for their franchise. In A Elite news Bobby
Kasimis big seven point night puts him atop the A Elite
Division scoring race with 23 points. Kasimis's season is over
while KC Krober and M. Carpanini both have a game remaining to
try and catch Bobby. Week 14 schedules will be posted shortly.
7/16 KINGS ARE BACK! Astoria take two and Sky Line gain playoff
momentum! The Kings are back in the Finals yet again
after knocking out the number one seed. Cautious play by both
teams in the first but the Kings would take a one nothing
lead into the second on a Mike
DiCicco rebound goal. Bergen Beach came out on fire
in the second on two back to back Bobby Munday goals but the
Kings took the flame right back scoring the next three on
McGregor, McGrath and DiCicco
goals for a 4-2 lead going into the final session. Danny Balsamo
would get Bergen Beach back within one with plenty of time
remaining as the Kings McGregor would strike again just
a minute in a half later to regain the two goal lead. Kings
clamped down the rest of the way, took a 5-3 win and await the
winner of the Shooting Blanks Reapers game for who they
will face in the Kings Bay Cup finals. The Kings
a tuff playoff club they are! Two Nick Carpanini second period
goals would hold up for a 2-0 Astoria Knights win as in
game two they would bring the ruckus. Putting up ten in their
second outing Nick would finish off a hat-trick as Rob Alibrandi
and Keith Mealik would put home two each. With the Knights
two wins they clinch the A Elite division title. Knights
goalie G. Athanasiadis all but locks down the Goals Against
Average title with the duel shut out on the evening and only a
game to play. Sky Line showed off their scoring tactics
with a twelve goal out burst with Nick Dimisi leading the way
with a four goal night as Bobby Kasimis followed him up with a
hat-trick and two assists. Gus Katheis was sharp between the pipes
for the Sky Line while the squad looks playoff ready in
the winner. A Elite Team standings updated while playoff
stats and all other pages will be updated shortly.
7/14 More rain in the Bay leaves our skates at Bay. Thursday
night schedule updated.
7/13 Games canceled due to early rain storms and more in the
forecast. Reschedule will be posted shortly, team captains
will be notified.
7/8 Week 13 schedules posted! All pages updated including
final draft stats, BIG B playoff leaders, box scores and more.
In draft news Joe Jensen's BMW was idle this week and his 42 point
season holds up to be another draft scoring title. That's four
out of five for BIG JOE!
7/8 The Reaper Hex, Shooting Blanks say Whoa, Bay Brewery
own the third seed as one man has a legendary night in the Bay!
The Reapers continue to keep Marine Park at
bay with yet another win over the club and move into the final
four. After a score less first and lots of confusion before hand
the Reapers would strike at 12:40 of the second when Mike
Goucher would get behind the defense and tally on a break away
for a 1-0 lead as the score would hold going into the final session.
Almost at the same mark of the third Ryan Dooley would get behind
a pinching defenseman and do the same for a 2-0 Reapers
lead. A fluke goal from behind the net off a defenseman's skate
would put the Reapers up by three and that would be it
from their as they would skate away with a 4-0 win. Steve Balsan
and Pat Black both get credit for the shut out honors in the win
as they split the game but more on that later. With the Reapers
win they get to meet a familiar face in the defending champion
Shooting Blanks who they met in last seasons final. The
Blanks would come out of the first with a 1-0 lead and
take period two 2-1 for a 3-1 lead going into the third. Rich
Conte would put the Blanks up 4-1 at the 9:39 mark but
the game wasn't over just yet. The Donkey Punchers would
get a goal back at 1:39 for a two goal game and strike again with
:39 left for a one goal game. The Blanks would be able
to hold off the Punchers late heroics in the final thirty
nine seconds and take the win. A great effort by the Donkey
Punchers who almost pulled it off as the Blanks fill-in
goalie Steve Balsan made many key saves in this one to secure
the win. But more on that later. Bay Brewery would put
up eight and Alex Morozov would get credit for five of those as
Brew goalie Steve Balsan would only give up four and secure
the goalie title with the lowest goals against average. Steve's
night started out with focusing on a team win, a goalie title
and after conquering both in ninety degree heat his night wasn't
over just yet. After the Blanks goalie wasn't able to attend
his efforts were called upon, he would do his thing again helping
the defending champs back into the final four. OK Steve you can
go home now with a night to remember in the Bay, no not yet. Reaper
goalie Pat Black is stuck in traffic and can't get to the game
for another hour. Hey Steve can you play the first? No problem!
After a shut out period in the first and not letting a goal by
his crease the rest of his time served, with 8:38 left in the
second Steve saw Pat Black was ready to go, used his goalie time
out and called it a night but not before joining in on the Reapers
winning hand shake. A night to remember and hopefully the 46 year
old will still be breathing tomorrow so can sit back and enjoy
his incredible night in the Bay! All pages will be updated along
with next week's schedule late today.
7/7 A King of an entrance, Sky Line use every second and Bay
Brew play spoiler! The Kings come out the gate in the
second season with a head full of steam and make a statement.
Putting up four in the first they added another six in the second
and skated away with the W. M. McGregor and Richie McGrath both
had hat-tricks in the first round playoff match. The Kings
will await the winners of tonight's games to see who they will
get in round two. Sky Line would find themselves trailing
by three after two periods of play with the score board reading
4-1. The Sky Line wouldn't surrender and stormed back in
the final session with four unanswered goals and took a dramatic
come from behind win. With the game tied at four Bobby Kasimis
new there was time for one last rush to go for gold. He would
rip a wrist shot hitting all mesh then the buzzer would sound,
getting the game winning goal with just about a second left on
the clock. A motivating win for the Sky Line with playoffs
approaching. The Bay Brewery would find themselves in a
2-0 hole early in the first but would get one back by periods
end. Winning periods two and three by two zero each the Bay
Brewery took down a 5-2 win. Alex Morozov and Pete Epolito
both had two goals each while goal keep Steve Balsan made some
stunning saves in the victory. The Bay Brew's win also
kept Cool Runnings Crew from winning the division title
as it will go to the Dragons who will get a first round
bye. Cool Runnings will face the Flids in the first
round and Bay Brewery have one more game left against the
Mad Men and that will decide who they will play in round
one. With a win they will play the Zorros and with a loss
they will face BMW and that goes vice versa for the
Mad Men. All pages will be updated shortly with playoff tree's
coming.
7/4 Happy 4th of July. Wedesday schedule had to be fixed due
to an extra game added. Please recheck Wednesday night and your
caps will be notified as well of the change.
7/2 BIG B PLAYOFF POLLS ADDED. Everyone have a Happy and
Healty 4th of July.
7/2 Week 12 posted! First round of the BIG B playoffs is up
along with finalized BIG B stats and updated draft stats. Bobby
Munday wins his second BIG B scoring title in the Bay,
the 36 year old (Soon to be 37) still has a lot of gas left in
the tank as his numbers continuously show for it.
7/2 The BIG B is all said and done! Reapers climb out of a
hole by a slim margin, Blanks ready to defend, Kings come through
after traffic and Zorros regroup! The Reapers would
put themselves in a 3-0 ditch after one but would bring the storm
in period two. Winning the period 4-1 they were even going into
the final session. The Good Fellas would regain the lead
and with time winding down under a minute to play the Reaper
press was on. With a man advantage and Reaper captain taking
cannons from every angle but missing the mark Andrew Manson would
take over. Going end to end he would bury the equalizer with :17
remaining to send the game into OT, J. Flip would do the same
on his first shift in the extra session and every Reaper
would soon have a smile on their face in the big win. The Blanks
are ready for playoff hockey and they know what they they own
is on the line as their full squad was ready to go. Quarter Back
Cory Johnson would hit mesh three times as capo Patrick Mulroy
was good for two goals and four assists. J. Zadvydas was also
in town while S. Pontillo served his suspension very ungratefully.
The Quad Father showed up in the third while yours truly
missed two empty nets and the Kings were able to take a
4-2 W. Ray Murray was big with a three point night, 2 goals 1
assist! The first round of the BIG B Playoffs kicks off
next week and goes like this! Bergen Beach wins the division
and will have a bye while the defending champion Shooting Blanks
will face the Donkey Punchers, Reapers will tangle
with Marine Park while the Kings and Good Fellas
will go at it. In draft play the Zorros had their number
one pick involved in play and were able to cruise with an eight
goal outing. Ryan Dooley had a four goal night in the win and
the Zorros have confidence going into playoff hockey. All pages
have been updated!
7/1 Donkey Do, Dragons hold a tie break, Cool Runnings a game
in hand and BMW put up a strong finish! Marine Park would
trail 2-1 going into the final session but would get back to back
goals from Charles Sbrigato and a nifty Rammy Alibahamid goal
off the face off to take a 3-2 lead. But with just over two minutes
left D. Punchers C. Ryan would knot the game at three on
a partial break that he tallied and would eventually send this
game into overtime. Greg Londis would sail a blazer home just
a minute into the extra period and grab the Donkey Punchers
the W. The Dragons would put up a bid for a division
title with a 10-6 win holding down the number one seed with a
tie breaker as Cool Runnings Crew have the same amount
of points but still have a game to play. Cool Runnings
Crew would just need a point out of their last game to clinch
the division themselves. In the Dragons win team captain
Charles Sbrigato had a seven point night with three goals and
four assists while Dimitri Kotlyar was good for six points with
four goals and two assists, yes this team has a lot of offense.
They finished off the season with the most goals scored as a team
with seventy seven. That could be a record, a look into the archives
will be needed. In Cool Runnings Crew win they would put
themselves in a 3-0 hole but stormed back with five unanswered
goals and took a 5-3 win. Cool Runner Brandon Barbuto uplifted
his team with a huge hat-trick in the come from behind win and
dedicates one of his best games in the Bay in deep regret
to a close friend of his, Carl Fuschetto who recently passed away.
Great game Brandon and sorry for your loss from everyone in the
Bay our thoughts and prays are with you. BMW finish off
their season on a high behind their leaders Joey Jensen's five
point night. Jensen would have a trick and two assists in the
win while Steve Noto put home two. Jensens five point night finishes
off his season with 42 points which should lock him down another
scoring title, that would be four in five seasons. That's pretty
good! A couple of teams have games left and the regular season
draft should be wrapped up next week as we will move into the
second season. The race tightens the plot thickens who will be
the next draft champion? Standings pages have been updated, team
stats and league leader pages will be updated later in the day.
6/29 Astoria Rock Marine Park Roll! The two teams are
only a point apart in the standings as they keep moving forward
and will meet next week in a game that could decide the division.
Astoria Knights would take a 3-1 lead into the third and
add three more for a 6-1 win. J. Messetti and Patrick Mulroy would
both ring up two goals and an assist for a three point night in
the W. Knights Goalie G. Athanasiadis was tuff between
the pipes as usual only letting by one as he still leads all goalies
in Goals Against Average. Marine Park would get their two
points behind a big Alex Morozov and goalie Rob Molina night.
Morozov would have a 5 point night with a hat-trick and two assists
while his goal keep made many big saves on the evening in key
moments of the game to secure the winner. KC Krober would have
a three point night with a goal and an assist that would give
him twenty points on the season, enough for the league lead all
alone. All pages have been updated as we move on deep into the
season.
6/25 That's what being a Good Fella is all about, More Dragon
Fire, Mad Men happy and a Reaper edge! The Good Fellas
and Bergen Beach were involved in a high scoring fast
paced back and forth shoot out that was decided in the final two
minutes of play. Bergen Beach would take a 6-5 lead into
the third and the scoring would go like this the rest of the way.
Score Fellas 6-6, Bergen Beach back at ya 7-6 lead,
Good Fellas tie the game yet again 7-7 with just 2:45 left
to play. Then Jimmy would serve Justice in the Bay. Getting free
on a break he would go five hole and take down an 8-7 win. It
was Jimmy's forth goal of the night. Back to back night's of heat
from those Dragons, on this night they put up nine getting
three goals from Kelly and two and two from Tosorrio and Kotlyar.
Pas and Sbrigato hooked up three each and tallied once. The win
gets the Dragons in a tie for first place with Cool
Runnings Crew. A goal scoring frenzy took place in the
Flids Mad Men duel as the two teams combined for eighteen
goals scored. Big Bad Bob Munday had a huge night putting up nine
points with a double hat-trick and a trick of assists. His team
would wipe out 3-1 deficit after one then put up nine goals in
period two and three on their way to a 10-8 win. The goalie's
battled in the Bay last night as Reaper back up G. Berghorn
and Bay Stallion were stingy through two both giving up none.
The scoreless donut would be broken when Phil Rykla called up
from draft would rip a J. Flip pass home for a 1-0 Reapers
lead at the 10:54 mark of the third. Both goalies would stay on
top of their game the rest of the way and that's the way this
one would finish. Everything has been updated and Week 11 Schedules
have been posted.
6/23 Hot Brew, Dragon Magic, Mad Men do well and Cool
on a hot night Runnings hold the top spot. The fastest unofficial
goal in Bay history might of been scored but as far as the memory
goes back I don't remember one quicker. The Russian Rocket scored
just six seconds into play as he blazed a wrist shot home to give
the Bay Brew a quick 1-0 lead. The M &M boys of the
Bay Brew (Manson and Morozov) would go on and combine for
a eleven point night on the way to a 8-4 win. Boasting the most
goals for in Draft league play the Dragons offense is potent.
With their top three scorers all over twenty points (Kelly, Sbrigato
and Kotylar) their three guns posted eleven goals in last nights
play on their way to an 11-2 win. With the win the Dragons
keep pace and remain only two points behind the first place Cool
Runnings Crew. In the CRC match up it was like a draft
playoff game with a total of only six goals scored. Cool Runnings
would quickly find themselves in a two goal hole after one but
would lock down the DEE from their on in giving up none the rest
of the way while scoring the next four taking down a 4-2 win.
Conte, Bennzer, Mazzola and Weston were the goal scorers for CRC
in the W. The Mad Men would take a one goal lead into period
two then score three unanswered for a 7-3 lead into the final
session. They would give up two in the third but roll away with
the 7-5 victory. Bobby Munday had a hat-trick and an assist with
Genero Soriano having a five point night with two goals and three
assists. Ian Statchel was also good for one and one, a goal and
an assist that is. All Draft Standings, league leader Stats and
team pages have been updated.
6/22 Rain Hurricane Games Canceled.
6/19 Week 10 posted below and all pages have been updated.
6/18 All BIG B stats updated. Draft stats will be updated
shortly with Week 10 schedule.
6/18 Some Fellas are just too Good, Bergen Beach use their
hands short and Shooting Blanks flex their status. The
Good Fellas threw a party as they actually fielded their full
team all at once and impressed. Banging out eleven goals with
Jimmy Justice supplying five and Koslow providing a trick. Their
goal keep Scotty Adelle also did a great job between the pipes
sprawling to left sprawling to the right holding down a strong
offense to only two. An atmosphere of playoff hockey was in the
air when the puck dropped between the Reapers and Bergen
Beach with the game living up to it's bill. Bergen Beach
would take a 1-0 lead into the second, then the two teams
would trade a goal each for a 2-1 game going into the final session.
Just two minutes into the third Reapers Mike Goucher would
deflect a shot from the point in and we were knotted at two. Dan
Balsamo would get Bergen their one goal lead back with
his second short handed goal of the night! Intercepting two passes
he walked right in for two breaks he quickly nabbed the points.
With time a wasting J. Clingo was able to slide one in with just
2:14 left and the game was suddenly tied again. But Bergen
Beach would get another scoring chance and Danny Balsamo wouldn't
miss! This time he ripped the game winner home finishing off his
trick and taking the two points as the squad is close to clinching
the division. The Shooting Blanks put themselves in a 2-0
hole after one but then got mad and showed their gang green! Putting
home three in the second and adding another four in the third
they skated away with a 7-2 win. Rich Conte had a four goal night
with Peter Pas hooking up three goals and lighting the lamp once
himself. Getting down to the nitty gritty in the Bay! All team
stats and league leader pages will be updated shortly. Division
Standings have been uploaded.
6/17 Bay Brewery first to do it with their own, Mad Men shoot
a Gallery, Flids regroup and Bergen Beach put six on it. At
the young age of 46 Bay Brewery goal keep Steve Balsan
becomes the first to do so for his own team. Nailing down a shut
out in draft play which isn't an easy task to ask. Earlier in
the season Mike Sora was the first to accomplish the feat as he
was filling in for another teams absent goalie, but Steve officially
becomes the first goalie to do it for his own squad. Steve said
he was more happy getting his team the two points and back to
.500 but couldn't help to think about the shut out with eight
minutes left to play. Just another page to add to his Kings
Bay resume as he also boasts two Draft Cup appearances and
one Cup title. He also leads all goalies this season in goals
against average. The Brew played good in the win putting
up seven as Andrew Manson had something to do with all of his
teams seven scored putting up five goals and two assists. Before
the drop of the puck some Men looked Mad but after they put up
ten they were able to put a smile on their face. A well balanced
team outing for the Mad Men as Cory Johnson, Bobby Munday
and Phil Rykla all had four points each. In the loss Joe Jensen
had a six point night and over takes the league lead in Draft
scoring. His last point of the night was a feed to no other than
Wayne Thompson who banged home a beauty. With a ton of complaints
in the suggestion box and hatred towards the schedule maker the
Flids fielded a full squad and got back to business. Putting
up eight goals on the evening Matt Carlton lead the team with
a four goal night as new recruit David Kalman had a goal and an
assist. Kevin "Slim" Rothchild filled in for injured
goalie Victor Leoung and made many big stops securing the win.
Bergen Beach keeps rolling along, after a slow start they
would open things up in period two and three and would skate away
with a 6-1 win. Bobby Munday would have a four point night in
the win and over take the league lead in scoring with twenty points
on the season. Joey Graham was good for a goal and two assists
and Danny Balsamo lit the lamp twice. Tuesday nights stats have
been updated as so has last night's play's standings. Stats will
be updated shortly in Draft and BIG B.
6/16 The Unit Split, Good Fellas put up the points and Astoria
Knights move into sole possession of first! The Unit and the
Donkey Punchers were involved in a good one and after the
Punchers built a 3-1 lead after one, the the Unit would
soon inch their way back into the game. Making it a one goal game
after the second the Unit would tie the game early in the
third and that good ole number 99 Mikey Byrne's go ahead goal
at the 10:32 mark would hold up to be the game winner. Byrne ended
up with two goals and an assist in the win. The Good Fellas
Galliano knows how to put the biscuit in the basket. Connecting
for four goals and adding an assist Galliano had something to
do with five of his teams seven goals. The Good Fellas were
good on this night for a 7-5 victory and walked away with the
two well earned points. What the pace of roller hockey could be
was displayed in the Astoria Knights Sky Line game as these
two teams went at it in a high paced back and forth battle. After
a scoreless first the two teams would trade two goals each in
the second for a dead lock going into the third. Astoria's
Mike Carpanini would break the tie early in the final session
and J. Messetti would cushion his team with a two goal lead on
his second of the evening. Sky Line would get back within
one with 3:19 left only to see Rob Alibrandi of the Knights
kill any chance of a come back connecting with just :59 left which
was also his second goal of the night. Division Standings updated
team pages and league leader spots are up next.
6/12 Week 9 Schedules posted.
6/11 All team stats, league leader pages and box scores updated.
Week 9 Schedule will be posted shortly.
6/11 Reapers regulate, Marine Park roll and Cool Runnings
Crew are back on top! Two four point nights each from Alex
Morozov and Rammy Abdelhamid, both with a goal and three assists
each were enough for the Park to skate out with a 6-2 win.
After Marine Park built a good lead they were on their
heals for a good part of the game but goalie Chris Falco was able
to come up big and secure the victory. Ryan Dooley with a seven
point night, Joe Jensen a four goal night, M. Erichson with two
goals and two assists, and "the infamous" Reapers
captain, the sandwich guy, the one you all know as Jesse Hetzler,
goal and three assists. Reapers win big. Well their wasn't
one in draft play this season and after a battle in the Bay
between the Zorros and Cool Runnings we went to
a shoot out. But before we get to that, CRC took a 3-2
lead into the third and built a 5-3 edge at the 8:21 mark. But
those Zorros would storm back on a Pat Mulroy goal at 5:30
and Ryan Dooley's equalizer at 3:48. Time soon expired and that
shoot out we went to. CRC's Conte and Weston were both
able to connect on their attempts while fill in goalie Scotty
Adelle was able to stop both of the Zorros big guns and
claim the win. The 41 year old said it was a long and tiresome
night after the W and he could still feel a couple of the shots
he absorbed. Cool Runnings Captain Sammy Pontillo also
had a big night scoring four of his teams five goals in regulation.
All pages will be updated shortly, updated standings already done.
6/9 All Stats from last nights play updated.
6/9 Rain Out!
6/8 Heavy Weights Collide, Marine Park explode, another King
Victory and four Dragons and a Fox! Astoria Knights and the
Brooklyn Oilers the two Bay Heavy Weights went at it and
it was a good one. Last night it was the Knights armor
who would shine taking a 4-2 lead into the third and coming out
on top with a 4-3 win. In the Win Rob Alibrandi's game was nasty
scoring his teams first two goals but it would be Pat Mulory's
lamp lighter that would hold up to be the game winner. Marine
Park went on the prowl from the drop of the puck and they
would continuously light the lamp. The Park's Steve Kelly
and KC Krober would combine for a twelve point night with Kelly
showing numbers of a double hat-trick and KC putting together
one. With the win the Park improve to 3-1-1 on the season.
The "Bay Stallion" Giovanni Petre was back between the
pipes and continued his dominance in a Kings jersey. On
this night he didn't let one by the goal crease till the third
period at the 13:44 mark and that would break his consecutive
streak of not letting a goal in for six straight periods of play.
Wow, Way to go G. Also in the win the Kings would get scoring
from the Murray brothers Brian and Ray as the Quad Father was
also good for a goal and an assist. How bout that Quad Father?
In draft play just having four skaters didn't effect the Dragons
play but it might of perfected it. Rotating the four players forward
to defense, defense to forward the scheme worked. Taking a 4-3
lead into the final session that's when the Dragons would
be there best. Out scoring their first place opponents 5-0 in
the third they rolled away with a 9-3 win. In the win S. Kelly
would have a five goal night as Demitri Kotlyar would have a five
point night with a trick and two assists. The Dragons are
breathing fire again!
6/5 Week 8 Schedules posted.
6/4 All Team stats and League Leader pages updated. Updated
schedule will be posted shortly.
6/4 A King of a Victory, Blanks Blast, Bergen Beach attack
and BMW become the first to do so! Bergen Beach took advantage
of a short Marine Park bench and went right to work. Posting
three in the first, four in the second and another three in the
final session they skated away with the win. Danny Balsamo
and Richie Femiano both had five point nights in the win hitting
mesh four times each and adding an assist. The Shooting Blanks
and Sky Line were involved in a two goal game in the Blanks
favor but the last five minutes of play would prove to be the
difference as the Shooting Blanks would add four more.
Joe Barker and John Ciazzia both had two goals each in victory.
The Kings backed by the number one goalie in the league
Giovanni Petre "The Bay Stallion" posted another
shut out between the pipes and only has allowed one goal past
his crease in his three games played. With a staggering 0.33 Goals
against average "The Bay Stallion" leads all
goalies in that department and shut outs as well. Speaking of
shut outs their was never one in draft play until last night as
BMW becomes the first team to accomplish the feat. Fill
in goalie Mike Sora gets the job done for BMW in probably
one of his last games in the Bay for a while due to his change
of work schedule. Something to think about at work for Mr. first
draft shut out in draft Mike Sora while Joe Jensen will be thinking
of his five point night in the memorable game with his hat-trick
and two assists while retaking the draft league lead in scoring.
Updated schedules and full stats from this week of play will be
coming later in the day.
6/3 Dragons bring the heat, Cool Runnings Crew run Strong
in the third and the Shooting Blanks hold on! The Dragons
would take advantage of a short Flids bench and
be on the attack for most of the contest. Posting nine goals on
the evening Steve Kelly would have a six goal night while over
taking the league lead in scoring. Demitri Kotlyar would also
have a six point night for the Dragons playing the set
up man with four assists and two lamp lighters of his own. The
Bay Brew and Cool Runnings Crew would trade five
goals each heading into the final session but the final session
would all be Cool as they would Run away with the game in the
third. Out scoring the Brew 4-1 in the final fifteen they
skated away with a 9-6 victory. In the Win CRC's Rich Conte
had a big night in the Bay having something to do with eight of
his teams nine goals with a trick and five assists. The Shooting
Blanks would carry and 2-1 lead into the third and soon build
a two goal lead with 6:30 to go in regulation. The Donkey Punchers
would make it a one goal game at the 1:48 mark but the Blanks
Pat Mulroy would bury his second of the night into an empty net
with only thirty seven tics left to secure the win. The Donkey
Punchers McGrath would have a two point night setting up two
goals in the loss. Standings pages have been updated, all other
pages will be updated shortly along with an updated schedule.

5/27 Undefeated no more as the Dragons and Mad Men have an
answer, Bay Brewery push to .500 and the Donkey Punchers penetrate!
Alex Morozov would have a four point night with a trick and
an assist as Greg Londis would tally twice in the 6-3 Bay Brewery
win as the team move to 2-2 on the season. The
Zorros and the Cool Runnings Crew were the only two
undefeated teams up to this point in draft play but the Mad
Men's B. Munday, G. Seriano and Cory Johnson would all have
big games. Munday was good for a six point night with a hat-trick
in goals and assists while Generio and Cory would both light the
lamp twice each handing the Zorros their first loss of
the season. The Dragons would do the same stopping the
Cool Runnings Crew streak behind a Steve Kelly hat-trick
and a pair from Dimitri Koylatar, the win also evens the Dragons
at 2-2 on the season. The Donkey Punchers would jump out
to a 2-0 lead after one but the Kings would cut the lead
in half early in the second. But two back to back goals from James
Esposito and an insurance goal in the third put this game away.
Stat central coming your way, everything posted by this Friday.
All Standings pages have been updated.
5/26 Blanks solid in OT, Marine Park get back in the W column,
Astoria stay stingy as the Brooklyn Oilers hold their ground!
Marine Park (B) would connect twice in each period of play
with KC Krober leading the way with a Hat-trick as Steve Kelly
would have a goal and three assists in the win. The Marine
Park (A) squad wasn't as fortunate but did get a point out
of the game. Trailing by two with under two minutes to play The
Park were able to connect at the 1:41 mark and then again
with only :20 left on some beautiful puck movement as a shot from
the point would get deflected in to force the extra session. But
all would get spoiled in the Over Time as Joe Barker made a beautiful
deke on a three on one rush and put it home on his back hand for
the win. Barker was also good for three assists in the 7- 6 battle.
Astoria would get things moving in the second and rolling
in the third while putting up six and getting scoring from five
different skaters. Nick Carpanini tallied twice in the win as
goalie G. Athanasiadis was good for the shut out. The game of
the night was a beauty to watch as the BK Oilers and Sky
Line would face off. Sky Line would jump out to a 3-1
lead after one period of play but the Brooklyn Oilers would
storm back in period two putting up four and taking a one goal
lead into the final session. The two teams would trade three goals
each in the third as the Bklyn Oilers would take an 8-7
win and keep their undefeated season alive. The Oilers
Michael Chindemi and 8 both had two goals each in the win. Division
standings pages have been updated as all other pages will be updated
shortly.
5/22 Week 6 schedules posted along with the rest of the season
on schedules page.
5/21 Reapers stay on the attack, Kings on top again and the
Zorros look like the team in the draft! The Reapers would
build a 3-0 lead and carry a 4-2 lead into the third as
the Park would make it a one goal game with 6:10 remaining.
But just two minutes later the Reapers would get their
two goal lead back on some nifty team work and later add an empty
net goal to seal the deal. Newly recruited Reaper forward
Andrew Manson would score two big goals as J. Flip would go end
to end in the Reapers win. The W is a third straight for
the team. Two M. McGreggor goals, a Mike Diccico tally and two
Walter Gilroy assists all add up to a Kings win as this
team looks BIG in the B. Kings and Reapers keep
pace with each other as they both currently own three wins holding
down the second and third seeds. The favorite on paper looks like
the favorite in play as Jesse Hetzler's Zorros own a 3-0
record and a +13 in the goals for and against differential. In
last night's game the Zorros would put up ten as every
defensemen and forward on the team registered a point. Ryan Dooley
would lead the way for the Zorros with a five point night
with three goals and two assists. In the loss Dragons forwards
Charles Sbrigato and Dimitri Koylatar hooked up for four times.
Standings all updated stats being worked on, stay tuned in
5/20 Reapers Regroup, Good Fellas are good, Mad Men
get a W and BMW bring it on! After a slow start to the season
the Reapers put a string of back to back wins together
as the guy Joe Jensen would have a big night in the Bay.
Putting home four goals and adding an assist for a five point
evening he had something to do with five of the seven Reaper
tallies. Another team with a slow start was the Good Fellas
as they shifted their game into high gear against the power house
of the BIG B, Bergen Beach. After trailing two zip
after one the Good Fellas were able to get those two goals
back in the second off of Marino and Jimmy Justice's stick. A
game tied at two and a score less third because of the play of
both teams goalies Scott Adelle and Ralphie Bavaro an extra session
was needed. In four on four action the Good Fellas Matt
Diliberti would blaze a wrist shot top shelf and ended the scoreless
tie getting the Fellas their first win of the season. The
Mad Men would open a two goal lead right off the bat in
the first inning just 3:10 into play then the Bay Brewery would
tighten up their defense. On their heels most of the game the
Bay Brewery were able to fight there way back into the
game because of their goal keeps Steve Balsan's play making many
big saves giving his fatigued squad a chance while showing off
a new glove hand. The Brew were able to tie the game at
two but then Cory Johnson would go end to end putting home his
second of the night and his Mad Men up 3-2 after two. The
Battle continued into the third with relentless back and forth
action but no more goals would be scored and that's the way this
one would end 3-2 in favor of those Mad Men. BMW would
leave period one up 2-0 and the Flids would come out the
second period with a four goal outburst to quickly go up 4-2.
BMW would get a late second period goal back for a 4-3
game going into the final session and then they would have an
outburst of their own in the third. Out scoring their opponents
5-1 in the final period BMW were able to skate away with
an 8-5 win. Joe Jensen had a four goal night as Ilya Pololisky
and Jae Budha both scored big goals in the third period of play.

5/14 Reapers pull out a victory, Bergen Beach win
big again, Kings give up nothing and in Draft play Cool Runnings
hold on and stay perfect! The Reapers would see a threat
of not seeing a win after three weeks of play as they trailed
5-4 with less then five minutes to play. But R. Dooley would roof
a beautiful back hand to tie the game a five at the 4:03 mark
and then he would connect again off a Joe Jensen feed for the
go ahead goal with just 1:38 left and all that would add up to
the Reapers in the win column. Bergen Beach struck
from every direction as Bob Munday connected for a field goal
and N. Manferdini had a safety as the high scoring offensive team
put up eight. With the win Bergen Beach move to 4-0 on
the season. The Kings would get scoring from five different
skaters while goalie Gee Prete let up none for a donut as the

would have a five goal night and Jason Weston would connect twice
and the Runnings put up eight and were able to hold off
the Mad Men's last fury holding onto an 8-7 win. Mad
Men captain Phil Rykla was good for two goals in the loss.

5/7 The Finals rematch, Marine Park and Bergen Beach Score
and the Zorros have a draft party. Putting up a seven point
night Steve Kelly had five goals and two assists while Rammy Abdelhamid
was good for a trick and an assist. Team captain Liam Morris had
a three assist evening as Marine Park even their record
at 1-1 on the early season. Bergen Beach had another big
night in the scoring department, last night it was Bobby Munday
with a hat-trick and Nick Manferdini hitting the back of the net
twice and adding an assist in the 8-4 victory. With the win Bergen
Beach moves to 3-0 on the season. The game of the night was
between last two seasons finalists, The Shooting Blanks
and the Reapers. The Shooting Blanks would take
a 3-2 lead into the third period but newly recruited Reaper
Andrew Manson would tie the game at three with 5:03 remaining
and that's how regulation would eventually end. Both teams would
get their chances in the extra session in four on four hockey
but a late power play for the Blanks would be the difference
as team captain Pat Mulroy would redirect a Cory Johnson shot
past the goal crease for the 4-3 win with only :41 remaining in
the extra session. The Zorros would score the first six
goals of the game but the Flids would fight back to soon
make it a two goal game. Zorros would prove to be too much
the rest of the way putting up four more goals to the Flids
one in the 10-5 win. Pat Mulroy was good for a hat-trick while
"The infamous" Jesse Hetzler, Ryan Dooley and James
Esposito all had two goals each in the win for the Zorros.

5/6 Bergen Beach have a Squad, Cool Runnings move to 2-0,
Bay Brewery get a W and the Dragons pull off some dramatics! Bergen
Beach forwards Bobby Munday and Danny Balsamo would both hit
mesh twice while the team would put together a seven goal assault
on their way to a 2 and 0 start to the season. The rest of the
night would be draft play and the Bay Brewery would even
their record at 1-1 behind two, two goal night's each from both
Alex Morozov and Andrew Manson. The Bay Brewery took a
4-0 lead into the final session but Jae "Buddha" Sanabria
would break the shutout early in the third and ruin the chance
of the feat never achieved in draft play, a shut out. Bang your
stick for Bay Brewery goalie Steve Balsan for coming close.
The defense heavy Cool Runnings Crew would jump
out to a 3-0 lead after one on two Nick Mazzola goals and a AJ
Bezner tally but that would be all of their scoring on the night.
Mike Goucher would get one back in the second and another goal
late in the third with 2:10 remaining as the Cool Runnings
Crew would hold on the rest of the way and take a 3-2 victory.
This game should be highlighted by the play between the pipes
of both teams goaltenders. Mike Sora of Cool Runnings and
Vic Leoung of the Flids, both goalies made many big saves
keeping this game as low scoring as it was in draft play with
a total of only five goals scored. For example the game before
saw a total of eighteen scored. The Dragons would find
themselves trailing by six goals in the second period of play
at 6-0 then the sleeping Dragons awoke and Steve Kelly
would welcome himself to the Draft League. The Dragons
would put together a four goal second period and only trail 7-4
by periods end. The final session would be all Dragons
out scoring their opponents 6-1 and stealing a 10-8 victory. Steve
Kelly would have a seven point night in the win with five goals
and two assists. All pages updated expect for team pages and league
leader pages in Draft and BIG B divisions which will be updated
shortly. Yes folks yet another great night of Hockey in the Bay!
5/5 BKLYN Oilers take sole possession of first, Astoria came
to play and Sky Line get a win! Sky Line would take a 1-0
lead into the final session and Rammy Abdelhamid would extend
the lead by two early in the third. The Blanks would break
on through the Gus Katheis wall with only five minutes to play
to make it a one goal game but Bobby Kasimis would ruin any chance
of a come back hitting mesh for a 3-1 lead and that's the way
this one would end in Sky Line's favor. Astoria Knights
forwards Rob Alibrandi and 91 both put up hat-tricks each as Knights
goalie G. Athanasiadis was there when he had to be and his performance
was good enough for the shut out as Astoria put their game
in high gear. The Brooklyn Oilers are three for three!
Last night they battled against the BIG B division champs
in inter-league play and were 1-1 after one but then the Oilers
would turn things up in the second. Scoring four unanswered goals
in the middle period the Oilers would finish off the game
with a 7-4 winner. Michael Chindemi was good again, in last night's
play he buried a trick and dished off two. His five point night
puts him in the league lead for the A Elite Scoring title.

Blanks favor, Bergen Beach pull away in the third, Kings pull
off two tricks and in draft play BMW get even. Marine Park would
take a 2-0 lead into the third but fatigue would start to set
in. Blanks would get within one at 12:53, tie the game
with 7:58 and get the go ahead goal with 4:01 remaining. The
Park would tie the game with just 2:05 left but the Blanks
would regain the lead twenty six tics later and add another taking
a 5-3 win. Cory Johnson lit the lamp twice for the Blanks
while KC Krober had all three Marine Park tallies. Bergen
Beach would take a 2-1 lead into the third and add two more
on two Nick Merfindini goals as they skated away with a 4-1 W.
Kings new gun M. McGregor was good for a hat trick as so
was team captain Mike Diccico as the two tricks added up to a
6-3 winner. BMW even their record at 1-1 with an impressive
outing. Number one draft pick over all Joe Jensen would have a
six point night with four goals and two assists. Add his four
points from last nights play and that adds up to a ten point start
to the season and an early lead in the scoring race. BMW's
Jae "Buddha" Sanabria was also good last night putting
up a hat-trick and adding an assist in the BMW 7-3 win.
WEEK 3 Schedules have been posted below. Backed up on all
team stats and league leaders all that good stuff will be updated

4/29 Zorros strike first, Cool Running's hold on, A Franchise
hangover and the Return of the Donkey! The Zorros would
set off Draft league play and their team captain Jesse Hetzler
would tally his team's first goal of the season. James
Esposito and Matt DelleCamelie would hit mesh twice after
that for the Z-Men and they would take a 5-3 win in their

Mad Men. The Flids would explode in period two hitting

of the draft as his late round pick M. Carlton impressed putting
home two in his debut in the Bay. Mike Goucher was also
good having a six point night with three goals and three assists.
Sammy Ponitillo's new franchise Cool Running's Crew would
jump out to a 5-1 lead but BMW would start to chip away
as the game hit the midway point. Scoring the next three goals,
the fist two by period two's end and the first of the third it
was a one goal game just like that. The two teams would trade
two goals each the rest of the way and Cool Runnings would
hold onto a 7-6 win. The Donkey Punchers return to the
Bay and from the 8:01 mark of the first would connect with
three quick goals in a span of just two minutes and forty seven
seconds. The Good Fellas would settle in from there and
battle back to make it a 3-2 game but Donkey Punchers goalie
Rob Molina would make many key saves on the night as this one
would end 3-2 Donkey's. All pages will be worked on and
updated shortly as it was a busy week in the Bay.
4/28 Oilers and Marine Park jump out the gate at 2-0 as the
Shooting Blanks earn a W! A delay of game penalty to start
the game off lead to a 1-0 Bklyn Oilers lead as they would
eventually build a 3-1 lead and carry it into the third. Astoria
would win period three 2-1 but lose the contest 4 to 3. The
Oilers Michael Chindemi was good for a four point night
in the win having something to do with all his teams goals with
a goal and three assists as he hooked up Vasquez twice. Marine
Park would trail 3-2 going into period three, tie the game
early in the third only to go down by two soon after. But Marine

4/10 DRAFT NIGHT is set for this Wed, April 14th., Please
confirm if your in for the new draft! Championship video photos
added below and on the video page.
4/9 Shooting Down Championships and drinks on the house as
the Bay Brewery lift the prize! In yet another night that
will be remembered in Bay history the Finals games in both divisions
lived up to their expectations! The Shooting Blanks
would take down Championship number two in the Bay with
a 2-1 win over the defending champs that was a game of inches
till the last second of play. The Blanks would open up
the scoring in the first when Rich Conte would sneak a goal in
off a Pat Mulroy feed. That would be the only goal seen the rest
of the first and we wouldn't see another goal till :27 left in
the middle period when Joe Jensen would capitalize off a Blanks
turnover in their own zone and roof home a beautiful back
hand that knotted the game at one going into the final session.
The rest of the game was a struggle as both Pat Black and Anthony
Manno made many big saves to keep the game knotted at one and
the way this game was going it would either be a mistake or a
perfect play that would end the meeting. The efforts displayed
by these two teams last night I was glad to see the next goal
scored on a perfect play. The call went down like this in the
Bay, Joe Barker picks up a loose puck in the corner blazes a thread
through traffic in front of the goal mouth that finds a wide open
John Cizzia that he slams home SCORE! The clock reads 3:38 and
the Shooting Blanks would be able to hold off the Reapers
push for the equalizer and take down a well deserved and hard
fought title in the Bay! Tip your helmets with cages and half
visors to the Reapers who would only be beat by a team
who would have to play a perfect series to be the new heavy weights
in the Bay! Congrats to Pat Mulroy and his crew on the victory.
Next up the Bay who? The Bay Brew! The Bay Brewery
win their first title in the Bay in another nail bitter
of a game that won't be forgotten. Was Cory Johnson the difference?
The star defenseman who was apart of both championship teams this
season would get the Bay Brewery on the board first for
an early 1-0 lead. His partner in crime in the BIG B but
friendly foe in the Draft, Pat Mulroy would tie the game at one
soon after. Alex Morozov who was a beast the whole series scoring
a total of eight goals in two games would break the tie for a
2-1 lead and then would connect again with only :35 left in the
second for a 3-1 Bay Brewery lead going into the final
session. Mulroy would put home his second of the night on a beautiful
deflection goal to get his very Mad Men back within one
with over an hour left on the clock in draft but 8:30 in reality.
The team the rest of way and every player on this eight man team
must be mentioned cause it was a team that took home the draft
title holding off the strong and balanced Mad Men team
in the 3-2 victory. The unsung heroes or not so unsung Vic Leong
many big saves in the series, Brandon Barbuto assisting on the
game winner, Squiggy the Squigster making many big plays on defense
and offense, Dom Rubino all he does is win Cups as he took down
his third draft title in four tries, Tom Urchandano the gritty
defensemen of the Brew keeping the puck out of our end.
The Captain is proud of his team, way to go Bay Brewery!
Lift and Clap the celebration was stellar! All pages have been
