Hope you’re all finding some good ice time to stay in game shape. See you on Thursday – go Pats

The scheduler was asleep at the wheel for Tuesday’s game, pitting a B-level team at the top of its division against the Kings struggling in C3, and it showed in the 10-0 drubbing the Kings suffered at the hands of Irish Curse. Not much good to report for the Kings apart from Ed, who stopped more than got past him and made some nice saves. The Kings had a few decent opportunities on goal but most shots were from the perimeter as the Curse goalie wasn’t especially tested. Bob and Bryan did manage to appear on the scoresheet for separate minor penalties.

The league admitted it was a mistake in the schedule after the fact.

Once again Everett’s kept the Kings offense from getting going, scoring 4 times to beat the Kings in Canton on Thursday. After an early score put the Kings up 1-0, an own-goal and a shorthanded strike gave Everett’s a lead they’d eventually stretch to four before Bermy connected on the backhand doorstep. The Kings offense was limited to two goals again as we could never get set up in the offensive zone. Everett’s worked a strong breakout and good control of the neutral zone to keep us on our heels all night.

The Kings couldn’t get past Everett’s, losing 4-3 in the pre-Christmas matchup in Brockton on Thursday. Alan and JRod had all the offense as a few miscues on D proved costly, and the Kings couldn’t finish several good chances on net against Everett’s.

The Kings get a rematch on Thursday January 5th in Canton. Games for the rest of January are now posted on the schedule page. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and has a happy and safe New Year.

The Kings overcame a sluggish first period with a strong effort from a short bench, beating Baked Beans 7-2 at UMass. Starting the game with only 3 on the bench, JRod joined in early, but a quick strike by the Beans put them up 1-0 in the first. The opening period was all them as they kept the puck in the Kings’ half of the ice, but slowly the defense began to jell and the breakouts started working. The Kings and beans were tied at 2 in the second with the puck in the Kings’ zone when Burger got the puck past the D man, setting up a 2-on-1 with Alan. Burger raced up the right wing, drew the defender and passed over to Alan in the high slot, finishing with a low wrister. That would be all the offense the Kings needed but added four more to the tally by the end of the game. JRod, Paul, Bermy and Greg had the other scores. At the other end the 3-defensemen scheme crystallized around Ed, preventing the Beans from setting up and keeping most shots coming from outside the faceoff circles.
