Week 9 Recap
Well well well things are tightening up in the league standings. Last weeks games recap as follows. Early game between Poland and Finland. The Finn’s playing without their top 2 forwards for this one. Poland scores the lone goal in the opening frame. Finland bounces back in the 2nd period out scoring the Polocks 3-2 to tie up this tilt at 3’s after 2. A natural hat trick for the veteran Dr. Joel May for the Finns, 3 break aways and 3 goals and one was short handed, impressive. Finn’s go on top mid way through the 3rd with their 2nd short handed goal of the game, maybe a first in PCOHL. Poland ties up the game on a power play marker, their first of the season as the Italian Mortgage Stallion scores. Poland jumped out on top with 4 minutes to go and an empty netter gave the Polocks their 2nd straight victory on the season 6-4. Poland went 1-2 on the PP but gave up 2 short handed goals and Finland was 0-1. Poland got 2 goals from Marcelo Diluzio and singles from Steve Ferrin, Joe Peacock, David Dupal and the game winner from Steve Atchison who had a 4 point night. Finland got 3 goals from Dr. Joel May and a single from rookie George Letsos. Players of the Game went to Finlands Joel May, obviously. For Poland Steve Atchison with his red stringy finger, mmmmm.
Last weeks POG for the Polocks was Paul Pork Chop Tavares and we were missing his photo. Proud to be Polish Pork Chop.
Late game between the league leading Swedes and the Canadians led in scoring by their backstop Art. Sweden scored the lone goal in the 1st. Canada scored 2 unanswered in the 2nd leading 2-1 after 2. The tired looking Swedes could not handle the red and white as Canada scored 2 more times in the final frame winning this one 4-1 and timing the Swedes on top of the standings. Brenda Free Game Yes!!!!!! Canada got 2 goals from Bren Byer and singles from Johnny Annan and Brian Burke, oh my head!!! Sweden got their lone goal from the ageless Bruce Freeman.
So 1 more night of games to complete our 2nd round of regular season games this week Friday, November 23, 2018. 9:15 the rested Americans will skate with the Swedes and at 10:30 the surging Canadians will do battle with the Polocks. Finland gets the week off.
