I Just Blue Myself vs Shooting Blancs
2nd Period:
BLOW (1-0) – Tim (1) (assisted by Tony D) (8:46)
3rd Period:
BLOW (2-0) – Tim (2) (assisted by Hilary) (5:24)
BLOW (3-0) – Sam Gelman (2) (assisted by Hilary) (8:38)
BLOW (4-0) – Len (1) (assisted by Tony D) (12:25)
GAME NOTES: Blue had the majority of pressure for most of the game but could not solve Mike Richter Sliwka in the white net. Finally, after Tim opened the scoring in his first game of the season midway through the 2nd, the floodgates somewhat opened in the 3rd as white pressed for the tying marker. Team Blowjobs (it is what it is) would go on to add three goals to cover the spread and pick up a 4-0 win.
THREE STARS OF THE GAME:
3rd – Len (1G)
2nd – Phelps (W, SO)
1st – Tim (2G)
Green Street Hooligans vs Chili Peppers
1st Period:
CHI (1-0) – Tarnow (2) (assisted by Sam) (0:08)
2nd Period:
GSH (1-1) – Tom (1) (unassisted) (9:53)
3rd Period:
GSH (2-1) – Eli Karp (1) (assisted by Rich) (9:54)
CHI (2-2) – Sam (1) (assisted by Alex Rickard) (10:11)
Overtime:
GSH (3-2) – Mike Stern (3) (assisted by Russo) (2:35)
GAME NOTES: In what I must assume was the quickest goal in league history, red got on the board 8 seconds in. Even more amazingly, Nate was on time…did not want to give Glanzer an assist but it appears he did indeed make the pass across to Eli. Tough day for the league stats department…interesting moment late in the 3rd when Sam ripped a shot that seemed to go off the crossbar but was initially deemed a goal. After the referees conferenced the goal was (probably rightfully) called off, only for Sam to bury one on the very next play.
THREE STARS OF THE GAME:
3rd – Tom (1G)
2nd – Stern (GWG)
1st – Sam (1G, 1A)

3rd Period:
BLOW (5-1) – Reid (1) (unassisted) (2:09)
BLOW (6-1) – Tim (3) (assisted by Hilary) (5:34)
GAME NOTES: I was playing and thus not privy to the conversation but the official game notes indicate that Tarnow told Ryann to stop cherry-picking during this game. Remains to be seen if a three minute conversation can erase 20+ years of habits but my money is on no…11 points recorded on blue by 11 different players which I believe is a new record. With a full lineup, only three players did not record a point for blue in this contest, and one of them was me. Anyone calling for me to be a 1st rounder in future seasons will be forced to watch tape of this game on repeat…in the absence of any overwhelming stats from blue I’m giving Robyn first star for great all-around play in this game. We will miss her.

JFC (4-4) – Amit (5) (assisted by Cherie) (12:53)
Overtime:
JFC (5-4) – Dave Liang (3) (assisted by Cherie) (0:43)
GAME NOTES: An absolutely wild finish to this game with four goals scored in the final 3:38 of regulation, none of them empty netters. After amazing individual efforts by Tarnow and Sam put orange ahead twice in the waning minutes, orange answered each time with goals by their 1st and 3rd rounders to send it to OT where trade acquisition Dave Liang went top corner as he is known to do to give orange a rousing 5-4 victory.

MelRose Place vs Hungry Hippos 2.0
1st Period:
MRP (1-0) – Matt Reape (1) (assisted by Jeff Jacobson) (8:40)
HIP (1-0) – Adam Satok (3) (assisted by Meatbox) (9:33)
2nd Period:
HIP (2-1) – Adam Satok (4) (assisted by Hogg) (7:50)
3rd Period:
HIP (3-1) – Hogg (2) (assisted by Meatbox) (5:24)

MRP (3-3) – Sean Kittridge (4) (unassisted) (11:20)
Overtime:
HIP (4-3) – Adam Satok (5) (assisted by Tom White) (2:33)
GAME NOTES: Oh how I miss the early days of the season with two games per night and only 2-3 goals per game. Since we got back to standard 13 minute periods most games are hitting the over, despite it only being one extra minute of gameplay…Sean Kittridge did his best to steal this game for yellow in the absence of Wes, but Satok capped off a hat trick midway through overtime to give black a much needed victory and send them up to 6th in the standings with games in hand on most teams.
THREE STARS OF THE GAME:
3rd – Meatbox (2A)
2nd – Sean Kittridge (2G)
1st – Adam Satok (3G)
