Sorry for the lack of updates guys, been plenty busy when I’m not playing hockey.

The Kings lost the last two games by a combined score of 19-5. A grand total of 15 skaters over two games couldn’t hold off Eastcoast Bulldogs or the Pirates. Last week’s game, a 10-4 loss, was competitive for the first half, with the Kings battling back from an early 2-0 deficit to tie, but the Bulldogs scored 4 times in about 4 minutes to run away with the win. In last night’s game the Kings kept it close for the first part of the first period, but couldn’t keep up with a deeper bench for the Pirates. Despite the cheap shots and cheap showmanship by the Pirates, the Kings had some good passing going on for a lot of the game, and Jeff broke the shutout on a power play goal that went tic-tac-toe around the crease from John and Paul. Jeff almost had another one in the waning seconds as the Pirates goalie went sprawling to his left, only to reach back across the crease with his paddle and stop Jeff’s shot on the empty net.

Thanks again to the guys who turned out for the games. See you in two weeks.

Good news….. The Kings have clinched a play-off spot!

Better news…. We are a wild-card team (and we will play more games, as long as we win)

Best news….. We play the Check Republic (the other wild-card team) for our last regular season game next Tues.

Bob will probably be playing with The Surge, but everyone else should be back. Bermy has taken Fran’s spot and played last game. By the 2nd period he looked like the old Bermy we know and love.

Let’s start the start playing play-off hockey next Tues at Canton at 7PM.

Please respond if you cannot play next Tuesday.

Thanks,
