22 shopping days til Christmas!!!

December 2, 2023

Not all hero's wear capes. Actually, if you have ever seen the movie The Incredibles, you would know Edna Mode says "NO CAPES"!! However, when you get to the rink early and a team is short a player, you jump into action. That is what happened last night. I am not saying my presence had anything to do with the win by Votta Properties, but I am also saying it may have had an impact. We will never know. In the end Votta Properties won the game. Here is how it went....

In the first game of the evening, Votta Properties and Quick Dam went at it. Early in the game, Richie Dias put the purple people eaters on the board. Al Whitton set him free down the middle.  Midway thru Neil Yee would match pitch and get the tie, with Derek Antunes setting him up. Late in the first, Kreg Labelle got the go ahead. Anthony Lisi would get the tying goal for quick Dam from Neil Yee. In the second, enter me. 3 Minutes later Kreg would get the gwg. Coincidence, maybe, but I think not. In the third, Big Sexy, Don Votta, Yep Ricky V, the original bolted down the ice and forced the goal through to the back of the net. Late in the period, Kreg would finish his Hatty! I felt like a winner. Votta Properties wins 5-2.

In game, two, yours truly was not as good as the first game, but let's see how it turned out. In the first, just 40 seconds in, A new Hero enters the rink. Adam Babikian started the scoring. Let me tell you about this guy, at the end of this portion of the article. He was set up by Nick Nardone. Vescera, well, let's just say Steve Lombardi and Shane mcShane Shane McCormick were the production for the team. They would team up to tie the game. Shane from Steve. Later it was Steve from Shane. Late in the period, Adam from Edge would Tie the game. He would be set up by Andy Morrison. Later in the period, like late late, Steve would get another one, he was actually set up by Kevin Schleicher. In the early going of the second, 3 unanswered goals by Edge Doctor.  The first would be the 3rd an the hatty for Adam, set up by Kevin Keenan on his second fill in for the Doctor and Andy Morrison on the other assist. In a mad scramble the second would be a broken pass by yours truly to Ben Mello. Mello set off on the breakaway and finished. One more by the Doctor to put them ahead, this one was started by Adam Babikian, to Andy Morrison, who some how found a path to the net, Dylon would stop him at the door step, freeing up the puck to Shannon Reilly. This put Edge in front 5-3. But wait theres more. Vescera would tic tac toe their way through the forest of powder blue to the goal, another by McCormick from Lombardi. Andy would stretch the gap once again from Shooter, making it 6-4. Yet, McCormick would sneak another one by making it 6-5. Early in the third, Lombardi would get one from McCormick set up by yours truly. I know, I wasn't on the team. Mistake. Luckily, 3 goals in the third by Andy, Nick and Scott Reilly would stake the win on Edge Doctor. 9-6. Before the end of the game, Adam had completed a hat trick of a different ilk. He would get the Gordy Howe. LOL.

It is the last game to Clarksville and I'll meet you at the warm room, i'll be there by 10:30..... You get it. Anyway, Manville Pizza and Final Touch. In the first, it was tight. Back and forth they went. Final Touch would get on the board first, Bob Killa Watts from Shannon Caverly and Derek Anderson. On the Manville side, Greg Landry was the goal scorer, all by himself, tying it up. On to the second where Shannon carried the team on her back getting on the board. Derek setting her up again. Manville would tie it up again, not only that, it was Landry again, he was set up by Mark Kosinski. Late in the period, Watts would get a second goal, this time Aimee Accinno and My Boo Ralph Espaillat. Spoiler, that was the gwg. In the third, Derek would score again with Watts and Glen Marshall assisting. Marshall would finish the scoring with Boo's help. Final Touch would vault them into a tie for first place with the 5-2 win.

Wow, have you looked or cared about the standings yet. It is quite impressive. Everyone is right there. If you are not in first, like Votta and Touch, you are 1 or 2 wins away from it.

I hope everyone had a good night. Hope you all have a good week.

Here we go!!!
