Mid Summer Blues.
Hello hockey fans. This week the games were all very close. The top teams are still the top teams. The rest are within striking distance of moving up or down. Crazy season.
In the first game, Vescera Law and Quick Dam went at it. Quick Dam down 6 players, but got some great substitutes. In the end Johnathan Murphy had a Hat Trick and an Assist to rule the game. Quick Dam Was in the game the whole time with a goal by Kreg LaBelle and Jerry Fahey in the second. Late in the second the story was the puck sitting on the goal line while the buzzer rang out. Quick Dam had hope, which was squelched in the third. Vescera Law wins 4-2.
Look at Green Goddess. The cellar dwellers are rising from the ashes. Votta Properties, the king of the mountain could not eek this one out. They started off with an early goal in the first by Dan Fraser. In the second another one early by Brayden Webster. Goddess answered quickly, making it 2-1 Votta. Another goal by Votta's very own Lil' Robby Edelman, to stretch the lead. Ben Hevner for the Green answered the bell making it 3-2. Votta came back with a late goal in the second by Neil Foley. And then came the third. Dunt dunt duuuuuuuh. Ben Hevner took the wheel midway through for 2 consecutive goals and tied this one up. The GWG came with just 4 minutes left. And then it was the all out scramble by both teams. Green Goddess held out to win 5-4.
In the late one, Manville Pizza and Edge Doctor captained by Bill Babikian went at it. There are a lot of goals in this one. Suffice it to say, Damn. So, Lots of subs in this one and I was not paying attention. It was 3-2 at the end of one. Jeremy Lawton got one of them for MPP. At the end of the second it was all tied up 5-5. I know Bragan for mpp got one of those. And then it was 3-1 in the third giving MPP the 8-6 win. Lawton with the GWG and Bragan with the capper. Even Ben Dussault, who was scoring the game, said it was a Frankenstein game. Crazy. MPP Is also winning their way through the standings with just a few games left.
Tonight: The Underground is at Escada Bar, 39 Putnam Pike (44), Johnston, RI. I heard some of the hockey folks will be there. You should be part of it.
Have a great weekend!

In the first game a bit of an upset. Green Goddess took down Vescera Law in the early going. Raf Manzo got Goddess on the board late in the first. Vescera tied it up in the second with Johnathan Murphy bending the twine, in a solo effort. Manzo took the lead again late in the second. In the third, the drop of the puck saw the lead grow for GG. Shawn Smith with the Game winning goal. Sorry that was a spoiler. Later in the third, Vescera Law got one back with a goal by Ed Cardoso. Brendan Shae, got the final goal late in the third for Green Goddess. Making it 4-2. Goddess with the win.
In game 2. I don't want to talk about it. Ok, I will Edge Doctor was way better than Quick Dam in this one. The first period saw Edge taking a 3-0 lead. Kevin Webster back in the fold got on the board, then Kole Sisson dropped a blooper in the corner of the net. Then Brendan Shea got one on a sub assignment. In the second, Quick Dam got one back with a goal by Kreg LaBelle. Quick Dam was back in the game. In the third, Kole got on the board for a second one for Edge Doctor. Quick Dam got another one back with Andrew Laird putting it in the net. The back breaker came with 4 minutes left, as Webby got another one to make it 5-2. Edge Doctor with the win.
And last but not least. Votta Properties keeps the train rolling with an 8-2 rout of Manville. In MPP's defense, they were down 2 players midway through the game. Votta also was minus a player. By the time the 3rd period came through, Votta had 5 goals unanswered. 2 by Ryan Degnan, Steve Donavan, Rob Edelman and Brayden Webster all with goals. In the third, Brayden Websert got an early one, along with Ricky Votta. Manville Pizza finally broke the bubble midway through with a goal by Jeremy Lawton and one by Mark Kosinski.
