Team PUDDIN POPS 9 vs. Team BLUEHORSE SHOE 5
Friday, May 16, 2008

Bam! The sound of the piano falling of the backs of each Team Puddin Pops player as they finally notch their first win of the series... and in hard fought fashion too as they generally outworked their opposition and yielded a solid D-rotation thanks in part to subs John Janetka and Sam Yee in the mix... meanwhile, Danley Yip makes his league debut and scores a timely breakaway goal, while the 5-star trio of Nixon Tham, Anthony Chang and Aaron Oye threatened all night long... Team Bluehorse Shoe seemed destined to drop this one starting a man short due to a late sub-out and subsequent no-show replacement, while Ray Chan keeps his goal scoring streak alive in a losing cause and suffering an equipment malfunction and sore knee leaving his team at eight players for a short duration... with the score at 7-5 late in the game there looked to be a glimmer of hope, but a few late goals by the victors sealed the deal and iced the win.

MDHL STARS OF THE GAME    Peter Choi  Big frame, soft hands and determination equals a hat trick on this night.    Peter Johnson  Solid in goal and gets the win with a little bit of luck too… thanking his post and crossbar in the process.      Coming into his usual form with timely goals and a short-handed backbreaker too.
