Lads,

Last games of 2014 last night.  Early tilt between the Flyers and the Islanders.  The rested Islanders looked like the week off was exactly what the doctor ordered as they scored the opening 2 goals and looked sharp but with under a minute to go in the first period the Flyers score twice at 0:47 and 0:32.  That seemed to sack the Islanders right in the solar plexus (the champ!).  The 2nd period both teams played a trap system and neither could find the back of the twine.  Islanders took a 3-2 lead in the first minute of the 3rd but these Flyers fought back with the tiring goal at 9:24 and thats how this puppy finished, 3-3.  Flyers stay unbeaten in 6 and the Islanders get their first point in awhile.  Flyers went 0-3 on the PP and New York was 0-1.  Allan Robb gets 2 goals and Murray Barrett (the better looking one I think) gets his first of the season for the Islanders.  Tim ‘Runkle’ Rundle gets 2 goals for the Flyers and the Doctor, Joel May gets the other goal.  Players of the Game went to Islanders David Dupal and Scottie McCallum for the Flyers.

Late game between the Habs and the Oilers.  Oilers looked to bounce back after being shut out the previous week and they came to play taking a 2-0 lead after one period.  Habs maybe getting 2 shots on Rispoli in that opening frame.  Both teams scored once in the 2nd period for an Oiler lead 3-1 after 2.  Oilers did not give the Habs any room on this night and out scored them 2-1 in the 3rd for a final score of 5-2.  Habs went 0-2 on the PP and Oilers were 0-1.  Habs got goals from Sparrow and Ken ‘celebration’ Coffin.  Oilers got singles from Connell, Baratta, Mihalic, Burke and Daly.  Players of the Game went to Habs Art Stemkowski and Oilers Bill Daly.

So that will close out 2014 as we will have NO games next week.

On behalf of the Exec we want to extend our best wishes to all of our members and their families over the Holidays and wishing you all good health and happiness in 2015.

Cheers and enjoy your time off!
