Kings Cruise Past Suffolk University 8-3
Kings jumped out to an early lead which they held for the entire game, defeating the Suffolk Rams 8-3 at Walter Brown on Thursday night.  Looking to spark the Kings out of their summer lull, Jeff shook up the lines. Fran and Bermy were back on defense, and Ian picked up a couple of helpers playing wing. To the best of my knowledge, goal scorers included Burger, Josh, Paul, Bermy on a break away (assists to Bob and Ed), myself backhanding in a rebound off a Alan rush into an open net, the usual hat trick from John. Every line contributed and it was a solid three period effort.  The Kings stayed out of the box for the most part, and cashed in on one of our best power plays of the season.  Ed wasn’t tested often, but did make a big stop on a break away and another holding the post with two guys hacking away at ‘em. There were just about no rebounds as Ed smothered every lose puck around the net. The defense broke up many odd man rushes without surrendering scoring chances.
Every player on the Suffolk team was solid and strong on the puck, but they only had six skaters. Â If they had a full team, it would have likely been a much closer game. Â The Rams goalie keep coming out of the net to cut down angles well, but left some juicy rebounds.
