Week 4 in the books from last Friday night the 13th.

Early game between the rested Swedes and Canada.  The red and white home boys scored the only 2 goals of the opening frame.  Canada made it 4-0 in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd.  Sweden got a late power play marker and then notched their 2nd of the game in the dying seconds of the 2nd period making it a game, 4-2 after 2.  The Canadians were just too much as they scored their 5th goal early in the 3rd and thats how this puppy finished, 5-2 Canada victory.  Sweden went 1-3 on the PP and Canada was 1-5.  Sweden got goals from Alan Robb and Patty Sharp.  Canada got a hat trick from rookie Paul Alloway and singles from the ageless Gary Julius and Enzo Ianno.  Players of the Game went to Swedens backstop Bobby Ide with a solid game as he did not get much help form his players and almost single handedly kept his nordic men in this one.  Bobby also celebrated his 65th birthday at the start of the month and now is officially receiving CPP and OAS.  Lots of love and best wishes Bobby Ide from all of us.  I think maybe only Ronnie Chantaj has been in our league longer than Bobby.  Still good hair for an old fart.

For Canada rookie sensation (we have a lot of those this year) Paul Alloway with a 4 point night.

Late game between Finland and Poland was a good one.  3-1 Finland after the opening period.  3-2 for Poland in the 2nd for a 5-4 Finland lead with a period to go.  All Finland in the final frame as they score 3 unanswered for a final victory of 8-4.  Finland went 1-1 on the PP and Poland was 0-2.  Poland got 2 goals from Patty McCormick and singles from Brian Burke and Eric Fletcher.  Finland got 3 goals from Jimmy Maguire alongside 3 assists for a 6 point night.  Jimmy now with 17 points in 3 games played is looking to obliterate all PCOHL records.  The man is on FIRE!!!!  The Swedes want to give him the horns to take home one weekend to celebrate with his better half.   Finland got singles from Tim Randa, David Dupal, Gerry Boudens, Dan Barrett and Bruce Freeman.  Kind of neat seeing Bruce our oldest member score and get pats from his son rookie Peter. This tilt also showcased a battle of the Barrett brothers.  Which one is better looking???  I know.

Players of the game for Poland went to Pat McCormick and for Finland David Dupal with a 4 point night.

This week games on Friday, October 20 will complete our 1st round of regular season games or as Leo famously states our pre season.  Early puck drop of 9:15 will show case Canada vs Poland and the late match at 10:30 of Sweden vs USA.  Jimmy Maguires hot stick and his Finland teammates get the week off.  Everyone is asking me what has gotten into Maguire and what is he eating??????  Jimmy please tell us.

See you all on the ice!

I think I will keep posting this pic until Jimmy is shut out.
