Kings win over Misfits again on Jeff Garrity Bobblehead Night

Friday August 26, 2011 – Boch Ice Center

The Kings got another victory over the Misfits Friday night, with J-Rod and Greg leading the scoring in a 6-1 victory on Jeff Garrity Bobblehead Night at Dedham. Another slow start for the Kings offense but not for lack of scoring chances, but for the first period it appeared the Misfits goalie was stealing all the good chances from the Kings. After spotting the Misfits a 1-0 lead on a snipe from the right circle, Burger got the game tied on a bank shot from the left corner that snuck past the Misfits goalie late in the 1st. The game was tied throughout the 2nd until J-Rod broke through with the eventual game winner, one of two for him on the night, and the Kings chances finally starting finding the back of the net. Jeff had a couple of great chances but got robbed by the goalie on more than one occasion.

A big thanks to the Garritys for hosting a postgame BBQ that went late into the night, true to Kings fashion. Jeff handed over the Kings’ 2004 trophy, and bestowed the “Yard Sale” Enforcer Award to Bermy, and the “Forecheck, Backcheck, Social Security Check” 2-Way Player Award to Fran.

Next week is Jeff’s final game in a Kings uniform, and there will be a postgame BBQ in the Quincy parking lot. Past, present and future Kings players and fans, If you can’t make it for the game please feel free to stop by for burgers and beer after the game.

Great night for all and thanks for both the Surge and the Kings for partying into the night!

I felt like a Bobblehead as I could not score to save my life. Elevating my shot only to have the goalie’s blocker come out of no-where, to then hit the post on a great feed by Danny, and then to hit the goalie perfectly in his chest following a perfect pass from Jon! Hopefully my head will not be bobbling on Thursday night. We need a win to clinch 2nd place and get us ready for the play-offs.

Thanks for celebrating and I look forward to more revelry after the game in the parking lot in Quincy.

Bermy said he’s 91.5% sure he’ll be there. Fran’s in; I asked him to bring a grill. I am going to try to sneak out of work early and grab beer and maybe burgers or steak tips or something.
