Thursday September 15, 2011 – Boch Ice Center

The Kings advanced to the semifinals with a 9-3 win over Rush last night. Rush never held a lead but stuck around for a while and kept the game interesting with a few near misses (lots of ringing iron in the Kings’ end), until an offensive outburst midway through the 3rd sealed the win. Jeff Garrity’s last game as a King was a memorable one, as the younger Garrity set up Senior on a couple of nice goals. Frank opened the scoring with a nice snipe from the left faceoff circle, and Jon, Paul and Ian all netted crucial goals along the way, but Rush hung around long enough with a couple of tough goals. The Kings held a slim lead when J-Rod, in the neutral zone and headed off the ice for a change, spotted Bob coming up with the puck by the half wall in the Kings end and called for the puck. Bob hit him with a perfect pass and he went in alone and buried the shot.

UPDATE Sept 21: All four top seeds advance. Here’s how it shapes up for the semis tomorrow night:
#1 Everett’s vs. #4 Icebergs – 8:10pm
#2 Kings vs. #3 Langers River Rats – 9:20pm
All games at UMass Boston.

IMPORTANT: The division championship game is the following night, Friday the 23rd at 10:20pm in Hingham. If we win Thursday we play Friday.

We have the late game on Thursday, correct?

I will be there tonight. These guys are good, but we’ve beaten them before. Lots of shots so we can play tomorrow night.
