Boys I am back in action and my apologies for the delay.  Hoping everyones Holidays were well and Santa brought you everything you wished for.  To Me from Me always works best for me. haha.

Ok while I was away we completed our round 3 games just before the new year on December 30.

Early game between Canada and Poland.  The Canadians had a lot of jump in this one early as they took a 2-0 lead after one frame.  Both teams scored a goal each in the 2nd as the Canadians found themselves in front 3-1 after 2.  Poland scored early in the 3rd making it a one goal game.  But these renewed Canadians scored the last goal for a 4-2 victory.  The team building event at Julius’s hot tub at Xmas seemed to bring the red and white together.  Canadians got 2 goals from Gerry Boudens and singles from Ron Chantaj and David Dupal.  Poland got goals from Jodie Young and Robin Flumerfelt.  Both squads went 0-1 on the PP.  Players of the Game for Canada went to the hair dresser Mr. Shampoo David Dupal and for the Polocks with 2 point night Jodie Young and here he is in living colour and all I can say is oh my Jodie do not show your honey this pic.

Lack of Holiday sleep and maybe we need to increase the meds.

Late game between Sweden and the USA.  All Trump in the opening frame as they out score the swedes 3-1.  Both squads score single markers in the 2nd.  With the upcoming inauguration and Meryl Streep getting ready with her Golden Globe speech the Americans roll over the Swedes in the final frame for a 6-3 victory.  Again it was only Locker Room talk.  Americans get 2 goals from both Tim Runkle Rundle and Jimmy Maguire and singles from Dan Barrett and Rob Messenger.  Swedes get 2 goals from Patty Sharp and a single from David Riddell.  Swedes went 0-1 on the PP and USA was 0-0.  Players of the Game went to both backstops Gord Ide and Art Senkowski.

How did Artie get the Swedish horns???  mmmmmmmm.

So after 3 rounds the idle Fin’s continue to dominate and lead the league but the next 4 teams have now squeezed closer together.  Dan Barrett and Rob McKean from the USA lead the league in scoring. Swedes Patrick Sharp leads the league in goals scored with 13.

Ahhh Leo there is a new king in town and his name is Patrick Sharp my man.  As the pounds shed the black rubber increases in the net.  Teams have vowed to shadow Patty for the remainder of the season and stop this Swedish sniper the rest of the way, Patty is up for the challenge!!!

Flumerfelt trails Sharp by one goal and has entered a PAA rehab and is now 120 minutes penalty free and following the 12 step program.  He leads the league in this category but has publicly stated he will NOT win the John Sparrow award by seasons end.  Now if he still wears this sweater to the rink there will be consequences.
