Kings jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, cruising to a 9-1 win over the DRL Dogs in Brockton on Thursday night.  J-Rod had a hat trick in the first period, JohnH had a hat trick, and the result was never in doubt.  If I remember correctly we’ve played some tight games against DRL in the past, but that game was not much fun for either side.

Next week’s game against Everett Auto Parts at 9 PM in Brockton should be a better contest.  Who is IN or OUT?

Sunday October 23, 2011 – Canton Sportsplex

A good, fast game saw the Kings blow a 3-goal lead, only to take it back late in the third and hang on for a 5-4 victory over Anarchy last night. The Kings started out fast out of the gate, generating a ton of good scoring chances before Josh got on the board before the halfway mark of the 1st. The Kings got another one on the PP as JRod took a feed in the slot from the left corner, hitting Greg on the back door who put it home for another score. The Kings had a couple of power play chances and made the most of them but the Anarchy goalie stood tall on all the shots. JRod got another one in the second before Anarchy got on the board late in the 2nd with a chip shot from in close that Ed couldn’t corral. The third period saw Anarchy get their breakout together and forced the Kings defense back in their zone, and a couple of quick strikes tied the game. The Kings had to burn off a couple of penalties but the PK was solid, even generating a decent shorthanded bid that wouldn’t go. Late in the third off an offensive zone win by Greg, JRod got the puck back to Bermy on the point who put it low on net, and Bryan was there to pot the rebound. Soon after, Bermy went in the box for hooking and the Kings had to kill off the penalty. Anarchy scored just after Bermy got out but time expired before they could muster another shot.

A solid showing from all of the forward lines as just about everyone had 2-3 shots on goal if not more. The NESHL game recap is here.

Hey guys,

Looks like we got scheduled the following two games:

Sunday Oct. 23 6:00pm Canton vs. Anarchy
Thursday Oct. 27 9:00pm Brockton vs. DRL Dawgs

Let me know ASAP if you can make that Sunday game; I’m out for the Thursday game.

Hi guys,

As Burger helpfully noted, next Thursday’s game against Hofbrau appears to have been cancelled, and we’re slated to play sometime on Friday October 21st. I know this is tough for a bunch of guys, let me know ASAP if that won’t work (and no I don’t have any more schedule info than that).
