Ok last Friday’s recap

Early match between Finland and USA.  All Finland in the 1st as they score 2 unanswered.  USA bounce back big time with 3 straight early 2nd period goals.  Finland tied it back up at 3’s as the 2nd period comes to an end.  Finland go back on top at the 12 minute mark of the 3rd.  The Trumpsters tie it back up with 8 minutes to go.  And as the Wall Emergency Fund is announced the Americans score 3 more times winning this game 7-4.  Finland went 1-1 on the PP USA was 0-0.  Finland got 2 goals from sophomore sensation Steve MacDougall and singles from George ‘don’t drop the soap’ Letsos and Robbie Leenaars who won a lot of moola this year haha.  USA got a hat trick from the very bearded Jay Cummings and singles from Tim Randa, Jimmy Maguire, Robin Chantaj and Tommy Marshall.  Players of the Game went to Finlands Steve MacDougall and to Jay Cummings from the USA.  FAKE NEWS!!!!!!!

Late game between the 1st and 2nd place teams was a good one.  Sweden and Poland.  Sweden scores the lone goal in the 1st.  Poland scores the lone goal in the 2nd as they go into the final frame tied up at 1’s.  Both Rispoli and Ide looked very sharp in net for this one.  Poland jumped out on top early in the 3rd period with a pretty goal from Joe Peacock.  The Swedes tied it up at the 10 minute mark and then took the lead with 7 minutes to go.  Swedes score 2 more times and Poland only managed 1 goal for a Swedish win of 5-3.  Poland got goals from Mike Rukavina, Joe Peacock and Neil Kelly.  Swedes got 4 goals off the wood of Dwayne Tygesen and a single from Tim ‘Pork chop’ Martins.  Poland went 1-1 on the PP and Sweden was 0-0.  Players of the Game went to Sweden’s Dwayne Tygesen with a 5 point night.

And for the Polocks #11 Aggie Falcone gets the nod.
