OK we now have had all 5 teams on the ice.
The early match between both 0 and 1 Bruins and Habs. Habs score the first 2 goals in this one but the Bruins get 2 late first period markers to tie it up after one frame. Bruins get 2 early 2nd period goals. Habs make it a 1 goal game at 9:12 of the 2nd. Bruins then score 3 times in less than 3 minutes to make it 7-3. Habs get a late goal to close out the 2nd period at 7-4. Habs score twice in the first 6 minutes of the 3rd to make this one a 7-6 game. But these feisty Bruins score 2 quick goals to extend their lead to 9-6. Habs get a late goal to close out this tilt with a Bruins victory 9-7. Not a goalie friendly game thats for sure. Bruins went 0-1 on the PP. Bruins goals 2 each for Cummings, Karabinis and Cosentino and singles from Chalovich, Wright and the game winner from Flumerfelt. Habs got a hat trick from Randa, and singles from Peacock, Sharp, Woods and Steve Kostick. Peacock lead the Habs with a 4 point night and was awarded Player of the Game. Bruins Joe Cosentino gets the nod as their Player of the Game. Habs again toasting their new rookie sensation and excessive Habs fan Derosiers who will make his season debut next week, the anticipation is mounting. Rukavina is hoping to get some break away tips from the new rookie.
Oilers with their season debut faced off against the red hot Islanders for our late match. Tight opening frame as the Islanders score the lone goal in the opening frame. Islandeers out score the Oilers 3-2 in the 2nd frame for a 4-2 lead. 2 of the 3 goals were short handed and really seemed to take the wind out of the Oilers sails. Islanders show their strength in the final frame out scoring the Oilers 4-2 for their 2nd straight victory 8-4. Islanders McKean continues to tear it up early in the season with 3 goals and 2 assists. Ferrin with 2 goals and singles from Sparrow, Tygesen, and Harty with the game winner. Oilers get 2 goals from Maguire and singles from rookie Chamberlain and Nelson. Oilers went 0-2 on the PP and Islanders were 0-1. Players of the game was awarded to Islanders #5 Steve Sparrow with a 4 point night. he was like Dave Semenko playing with McKean. Oilers give their nod to #7 Jimmy Maguire.
So we are off and running. This weeks games on Friday, October 2 are as follows, 9:15 Boston will face off against the Oilers and at 10:30 the rested Flyers will see how they match up against the winless Habs. Islanders get a much deserved week off. Which means McKean will not be lighting up the goal lights, thank god.
See you all on the ice!
