Ok our 1st round of games are in the books.

Last week early game between Poland and Canada was a beauty and belonged to both back stops.  1-1 after the opening period and the same score in the 2nd as both squads just managed a goal a piece for a 2-2 tie.  The final frame was shut outs at both ends as this puppy ended in a 2-2 draw between the Polocks and the red and white.  Poland went 1-3 on the PP and Canada was 0-2.  Poland got goals from Annan and Wright.  Canada got goals from Russell and Diluzio.  Players of the Game were both the goalies, such deservedly, Frank Rispoli for Canada and Art Senkowski for the Polocks.

Late game between the winless Swedes and the Americans.  Both squads dressing only 9 skaters each.   1-1 after the opening period.  3-3 in the 2nd for a 4-4 tie after 2 periods.  Sweden took the lead early in the 3rd but 3 unanswered goals from the Americans gave them a 7-5 lead with only minutes to go.  Sweden pulled their goalie with a minute to go and scored their 6th goal with 39 seconds left.  With their goalie still out Sweden tied up the match at 7’s in the dining seconds.  An exciting affair for sure as the Swedes get their first point of the season.  USA went 1-2 on the PP and Sweden was 0-0.  USA got 2 goals from Rob McKean, Joe Cosentino and Ron Cormier (Gordie’s Manny) and a single from Steven Sparrow.  Sweden got 5 goals from DA Robin Flumerfelt, yes thats right 5 goals.  Singles from Rukavina and Steve Ferrin.  Sweden goalie Bobby Ide claims teammate Flumerfelt also scored on him as well but Flumerfelt denies he actually touched the puck and claims all media are liars.    Players of the Game goes to USA Joe Cosentino and obviously to Swedens Robin Flumerfelt who will have the week with the horns.  Mrs Flumerfelt is so much happier with the horns vs last years Polish moustache, hat and sash, mmmmmm.  Except she told reporters she has seen the horns on a Monday night in the past few weeks.  Not sure what that means?????  A face only a mother can love!!

So after all teams have played each other once we have Finland on top with 6 its.  Canada in 2nd with 5 pts.  Poland and USA with 4 each and Sweden with 1 pt, sand baggers!!!!!  Goals for almost dead even for 4 of the 5 teams with the exception of Finland with 25.  Goals against lead goes to Canada with only 11 in 4 games, next best is 18.  Canada deploying the trap system very well.  The canuckle heads also lead the league in attendance, whats going on in that dressing room.  Swedes sit on top in penalty minutes with 22 but Flumerfelt sits at zero, what?????  There is a story circulating that Flumerflet has a bet on that he will go Brenda free for his first 5 games in the season.  Poor Brenda!!!

Finlands Jimmy Maguire is on FIRE leading the league in all the offensive categories, can any team stop him???  Rookie sensation from Canada Paul Alloway is also looking to challenge the 31 year PCOHL rookie scoring records and off to a great start.  Nice way to make friends in the league.

This weeks games, our Halloween special, October 27 are as follows.  9:15 Canada vs USA.  10:30 Finland vs Sweden.  Poland gets the trick or treating night off.

See you all on the ice lads.
