Boys last weeks games recap.  Early match between USA and Poland.  Polocks score 2 unanswered goals in the first period.  The 2nd frame was all square as both teams scored twice, Poland leading 4-2 after 2.  USA scored in the first 30 seconds of the 3rd making it a one goal game.  Strong battles at both ends of the pond as the Ide brothers dulled it out.  Poland scored twice late in the game and closed this puppy out with a 6-3 victory.  Poland went 0-2 on the PP and USA was 0-0.  USA got goals from Tom Marshall, Jimmy Maguire and Paul Barbosa the original Pork Chop.  Poland got 2 goals from Mike Rukavina and singles from Dan Barrett, Marcelo Diluzio, Henry Krajewski the true Polock and finally from Steve Ferrin who played under tremendous stress in this match….long story really but very funny.  Players of the Game went to USA Jodie Young.

Handsome devil.  And for the Polocks give it up for Henry Krajweski.

Late game between Finland and Canada was a beaut.  Both squads with only 9 skaters and neither felt they needed a call up from the early game.  All Finland in the first as they took a 3-1 lead after 1.  Canada bounced back in the 2nd out scoring the Finns 2-0 to tie up this match at 3’s after 2.  Final frame saw shutouts at both ends and I caught a few of the amazing saves McCallum and Stenkowski made.  Final score 3-3.  Canada went 0-1 on the PP and Finland 0-0.  Finland got goals from Pat McCormick, Moe Connell and John Fasulo.  Canada got goals from Ken Coffin, Sal Guerra and our Prez Alan Robb.  Al had a 3 point night and was awarded Player of the Game.  Check this pic out?????

For the Finns the very handsome Patty Sharp.  Witnessed Patty blowing by Guerra on a rush in this one, crowd went crazy.
