Boys,

Last weeks games recap.

Early game between Sweden and Poland.  Some Swedish fans showed up for this tilt with bearing flags and a boisterous crowd.  Poland scored the lone goal in the opening period.  Both squads scored 3 times in the 2nd for a 4-3 Polish lead.  Polocks get 3 early goals in the 3rd and Swedes manage only 2 for a final Poland victory of 7-5.  Poland went 1-3 on the PP and Sweden was 1-3.  Poland got 2 goals from the very handsome, maybe best looking Oldtimner, Joe Peacockski.  Singles from Kevin Nicholson, Bryon Wright, Tony Carlisle, Frankie Nweisser and Eric Fletcher.  Sweden got singles from Harve Mihalic, Gord Manning, Alan Robb, Steve Ferrin and Robin Flumerfelt (…and the crowd went crazy!!!).  Players of the Game went to Polands #15 Bryon Wright and for the Swedes #14 Alan Robb.  Now I know once you see this image you will think Bubbles from Trailor Park Trash BUT no it really is Alan Robb.  Swedish First Aid Kit was out for the first time in 2018 and interesting discussion around politics, Oprah, the Leafs and oh yes the Philippine barber Al recently visited.  The Italian and Pork Chop have gone for haircuts everyday this week.

Maybe this is why the Swedes have only won one game this year.  Beauty is only skin deep!!!

Late game between Finland and USA.  Finland gets the only goal in the 1st period.  Shutouts at both ends for the 2nd period.  USA tied up the game at 1’s with 5 minutes to go.  Finland takes back the lead with 65 seconds left on the clock but the Trumpsters stormed back and scored with 35 seconds to go and this one finished 2-2.  Playoff type game.  Finland went 1-1 on the PP and USA 0-0.  Finland got goals from Tommy Marshall and David Dupal.  USA goals from Dwayne Tygesen and Sal Guerra.  Players of the Game went to USA #6 George Letsos and Finland #4 Tommy Marshall.

This weeks games go Friday, January 19, 2018 9:15pm Canada vs Finland and at 10:30 pm Poland vs USA.  Sweden gets the week off and will be doing dry land training at the Philippine Barbers.
