Tuesday August 31, 2010 – Dedham

The Kings ended a disappointing summer season on a high note, with a strong team game to win over Check Republic 5-3. The Kings got on the board early, after a few good chances narrowly missed, Pete connected with John on the doorstep, who got his own rebound past the goalie. The Kings cashed in on a 5 on 3 power play with a goal from Bryan from the right point for a 2-0 lead; the lead wouldn’t hold and Check Republic scored two times before the period ended to tie the game. Early in the 2nd Greg and Paul got behind the D, but Paul got robbed by the goaltender who flashed a pad to kick out Paul’s onetimer on the right crease. Paul got it back later in the same shift to take the lead again. John got the eventual gamewinner early in the third when he got behind the defense again and went stick-side, and Bermy got into the scoring with a nice feed from Jeff high in the left faceoff circle, where he wound up and fired stick side again. Check Republic got another goal with half a second left in the game on a power play to close out the scoring. The Kings had some running around going on in their own end, but fortunately not too many great chances came of it, and Ed was up to the task on more than a few occasions. It was a good win; we rematch with Check Republic next week for the play-in game.
