KEVIN RACE MVP of the Week
Week 11 was a nightmare for the league’s goalies as a total of 34 goals were scored breaking the record of 32 goals established thirty eight years ago when Michael Montagano was in diaper dreaming his future as a city councilor. With diaper replaced by Fruit of the looms, life long dream realized and a landslide victory, his team celebrated for him pounding Team Green 8-1. Team Green, beginning to miss their big defenceman Mike Tinmouth more and more, was down and out early trailing 5-0 at the half. Legal counsel Glen Brown, trying to step up a notch for the team, ran into penalty troubles again and was ejected after three penalties, one deserved and the other two by reputation. Underachieving for the past five weeks, Team Green is just trying a bit too hard. A pass here and a pass there by their top players might just get them back to where they should be.
Leading 3-2 with ten minutes left, Team Red high risked defensive corps got carried away trying to score the insurance goal and backfired to a 6-4 loss as Team White rallied with six two on ½ resulting in 3 goals in five minutes.. Leading the way for Team White was their under rated winger Kevin Race, with his first career hat trick and a team record of nine shots to edge out Terry O’Neill of Team Red for the week’s MVP award. Terry O’Neill, missed by 2 votes to be MVP for the second straight week, is on a torrid pace with six goals in two games. He has 90% of the team production. Unhappy with some missing players who missed the team bus, Team Red GM, Paul Bambi Prevost issued a statement that Joe Marchildon and the Dude are suspended till the next game and will not be allowed to participate in the team’s new whiteboard strategic planning session.
Another high scoring game between Teams Gold and Blue closed out the night with Blue on top 9-6. Gold, a proud team, scored three goals in the last three minutes to make it look closer but on this night, Gord Parkinson was just too much for Gold to handle as he potted his own rebound through Pierre Lacoste five holes, who has the same Carey Price’s black clouds hanging over his shoulders. Blue, the best structured team in the league and only uses the traditional blackboard for their strategy, continues to play the possum style game and keeping pace with Team White. The two teams are threatening to run away from the rest.
Cheers,
Field Reporter
