Team Beast 16 vs. Team Feast 8
Friday, May 13, 2005
With the series on the line Team Beast received a huge
break in what could have been certain death. The
tables turned as Team Feast played without key set up
man Anthony Chang and captain Derek Lowe. Team Beast
on the other hand bolstered their line up
significantly with the return of substitute Pavel
Dosanjh. Team Beast captain Ron Pong sat out the game
allowing for seasoned defenseman Brian Kindrachuk to
take his place. These two along with assistant captain
Chris Archibald had speed, power and chemistry as they
racked up the points all night long. The Beast came
back to life in a most triumphant refusal of a
possible series loss with a 16 to 8 win.
When asked about the game, Pavel was modest in their
accomplishments and commented that the other team did
have many chances. He was right. It was just that Team
Feast couldn't quite get those chances to work in
their favor as was evident when assistant captain
Travis Wong had what some thought was a goal only to
be denied. 'It went in and just bounced back out' he
said while others thought that it had only hit the
post. Even goalie Jay Estoque commented that the sound
was not the same as it normally is when a puck hits
the post as opposed to somewhere else.
Interim Captain Chris Archibald's choice of putting Jay Estoque in
between the pipes proved key as netminder Calvin Cheng
looked tired and slow to react playing for Team Feast.
'He looked burnt out after that last goal. I asked him
how he felt and he just sat there staring into space'
noted defenseman Raymon Hsiao.
In other news but not completely unrelated, rookie
Dennis Chan kept his career goal scoring streak alive
stretching it to six games. It was noted by league
organizer Jason Lai that this may be a first for the
MDHL league.
The strange stick fiasco continues around defenseman
Lawrence Lau as his stick seemed to explode on an
attempted slapshot from the point. In a previous game
there was a mixup involving the same Easton Z-Bubble
stick belonging to Raymon Hsiao which he had
mistakenly taken for his own. Is this karma?
