The season is winding down and seedings of the standings now count.
I was told by Kole Sisson that my articles have been a bit flat lately. Apparently, my literary gifts have failed me as of late. Now there are two ways I can go on this. One, really make it nothing. Just strict reporting. This team beat that team. blah. Maybe that is the way to go. Or two, I can pull from my beautiful mind a soliloquy that would make Shakespeare proud. Let's try something in between.
On this night after a the blizzard of 2026, the quiet of the snow turned to the competition of the frozen barn. The 11 titans on each side of the drama that will unfold get ready to beat the other with sticks, blades and shear will.
Game 1. Final Touch and Edge Doctor, both teams are the top of the standings. Both vying to be the number one team of the winter season. This saga starts from the back out. Two goalies with the history of being the best in the league. Frank Zabatta for Edge Doctor and Mike Baro for Final Touch. Edge Doctor boasts a 30 goals against less than the rest of the leagued. While Final Touch has been on top with the most goals for. In the first period the pair did not disappoint. Some fierce saves on both sides to keep their teams even. In the second, Glen Medeiros got a rebound past Zabatta to break the egg. A minute later, Brian Cormier set up Marc O'Conner for goal number two. Final Touch's jubilation wound not last long. The next drop of the puck had Edge Doctors Shawn Smith pop in the puck from the middle slot on a set up by Captain Adam Babikian. Some fantastic saves and controversial non goal was the rest of the game. Final Touch held on to win 2-1.
Ahh, now speaking of the frozen barn. This next game burned it down. 15 goals in total between the 2 teams. 69 I mean 9-6. In the first is where this game really got cemented. Manville Pizza got off to a great start, scoring with a minute into the game. 4 goals by 3 players. Brian Roman and Sean Aguiar got it started. MPP brought in a mercenary number 8 Ben Hevner. who would score the other 2. In between, Quick Dam did score, Andrew Laird got them on the board. In the second, Greg Breirly cut the MPP's lead in half for the Dam and it was with that, they started their run at it. 88 would score for the Dam to make it 4-3 and this game took a turn of momentum. Chad Labaste who is Nasty got on the board to stretch the lead back to two for Manville. Doc Manzo for Quick Dam would get them back to a 1 goal deficit. What a game. Another goal by Manville late. Then a goal by Laird to keep in reach. Going into the third it was 7-5. Greg Briely would score in the middle of the third to make it 7-6. 2 late goals by MPP would put the game away. I mean late. like last minute late. 2 goals. I didnt see it, but I assume some empty netters. Anyway, Manville wins 9-6.
In this game, I told Kole not to disappoint me. I would not be mad if he didn't make a difference in the game, just disappointed. Especially when he said his brother feels like I could do better with the writing of the article. That garbage calling me out. I agree, I could do better. But now I don't feel like it. So, Keith this is for you.
Votta wins 6-3.
Haha, You thought that was it.
Ok, Votta Properties and Green Goddess go at it in the late one. No one loves the late game. This one got started halfway through the first. Derek Antunes gets on the board first for Votta. Mark Kozinski set up a sub for Goddess' first goal right after. In the second, Goddess took over and made it 2-1 with a goal by Raf Manzo. Derek Franco got Votta the tie and then the lead in the same shift. Late in the period Goddess tied it up with Manzo's second. And then Kole Sisson took over. Kole scored one late to make it 4-3. two more goals, one midway through the third and one late, both by Sisson to get his hat trick and make yours truly very proud. That is the Kole I know.
I hope this satisfied the Sisson family.
The Underground Unplugged is playing at TD's in Milford tonight. Featuring Mike Dussault and Eric Robichaud. 7-11.
I hope you all have a great week.
Live, Breathe, Love...............HOCKEY!!!
Wake me up when February ends.
First I would like to say, we all should say a prayer for Scott Reilly. We are all thinking about you bud. I hope it is nothing major.
Also, prayers to all who were effected by the shooting at Lynch. An awful situation, we hope to never see again.
On a positive note, Congratulations to the USA Women's Olympic Hockey team! You made history! It was amazing. Tomorrow we will all be watching the USA Men's take on Canada. LETS GO!!! USA, USA, USA!!!
Now back to our hockey.
Votta Properties got the better of Manville Pizza. The early game saw #8, assuming it was Steven Albertelli, get 5 goals and an assist. The Evil Empire, Manville had Sean Aguiar and Kreg Labelle getting the goals. Steve Donavan got the ball rolling for Votta in the 7-2 tilt.
In the second game, Edge Doctor coming off their brief Hiatus against Green Goddess supply. Goddess got on the board first with a solo effort by Raf Manzo. A minute later Edge tied it up with a goal by Cory Landi, Kenny Beck with the apple. This was tight until the 11th minute of the 3rd, when Edge Doctor got the GWG with a goal by a sub. Not sure who 53 was. Edge wins 2-1. Great game.
And now the Vescera Law and Final Touch vying for the top spot in the standings. Final Touch got the game going in the second with a goal by Ben Hevner. Late in the period, Frank Nardone got the freight train rolling coast to coast and scored to make it 2-0. Vescera, unphased by the goal differential, scored 20 seconds later. In the third Vescera's Neil Yee, trying to impress his daughter, got the tying goal. Late in the game, Gary Ouilette scored the game winner slapping it in the open net. 3-2 Vescera.
Final Touch went from 1 to 3 in the standings last night. Vescera stays on Top. Edge is edging out the second spot. Getting tight at the top kids. Just a couple more weeks til the playoffs.
Hope everyone has a great week!
