TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette FINALS GAME 3 EXPRESS vs FREEZER 10 Tuesday May 9 The deciding third game. FREEZER 10 is not in
a good situation. Short bench + shootout loss = tired legs & frustration. Tom Page, the head referee, indicates that both periods will be of 15 minutes instead
of the 20 that were allowed for GAME 2. The EXPRESS, pumped up with their shootout win, begin the game aggressively, as expected. From the faceoff, they impose an offensive presence. The ball
does not exit the FREEZER zone and this inability proves costly. Nick Kohner
intercepts a clearing attempt at the right point and fires a shot towards Wai Jang.
Wai makes the save but is unable to smother the ball which rolls loosely to his right.
Sherry Page grabs the loose ball and fires it into the net. Being at the
right place at the right time. EXPRESS 1-0 at 13:55. Jubilation on the EXPRESS bench. Consternation on the FREEZER
bench. Captain Sylvain Léonard rallies his troops when he makes a penetration
along the right wing and fires a pass towards Ina Garabedian in the low slot. Ina
one-times the pass just inside the left post. Quick hands and a good setup. SCORE TIED at 1-1 at 13:00. After this
quick start with 2 goals in the opening two minutes, both teams calm down tremendously.
Shots are few and far between as both teams block and deny penetration chances.
Energy levels are low. No sustained pressure. But, the EXPRESS do dictate play as they obtain most of the offensive chances. Time ticks by and we have reached just under 5 minutes to go in the period when Leonard Luedee does a encore. Leonard takes the ball near his own net and fires a slapshot. Once again, the ball, somehow, finds it’s way into the FREEZER net.
Big time “G.B.” It’s not how they go in it’s how
many do go in. J EXPRESS 2-1 at 4:36. With FREEZER reeling
from this one, Victor Chernoff brings the “hammer” down when he creates a turnover in the deep right corner, circles
back to the low right slot area and fires a wicked wrister just under the crossbar near the upper right corner. Quite a shot !!! EXPRESS 3-1 at 2:50. FREEZER is stunned and shaken for the remainder of the period. With a two goal lead, the EXPRESS now totally focus on shutting down Manny Tavaroff and Ina Garabedian. FREEZER goes on the offensive but face a defensive wall and are having a hard time
getting any shots through. Plenty of blocked shots and deflections. Sylvain Loyer is having a free pass as his defenders are doing most of the work. Wai Jang is hardly called upon to make saves as the EXPRESS are in “shutdown” mode. With about 8 minutes to go in the period, Ina Garabedian suddenly falls down near the EXPRESS net. Twisting her ankle on an attempted pivot, Ina went down hard and needed help to get
back to the bench. This meant that FREEZER 10 was now down to 5 players with
Kate Crosby and Anne-Marie Parent forced to stay on the floor for the remainder of the game.
Manny Tavaroff tried a few more deke moves but was constantly checked while the remaining 4 FREEZER players could not
get their shots through or create better scoring chances. The EXPRESS were doing
a masterful job of shutting everything down. The final seconds tick off and the
EXPRESS jubilate when the final whistle pierces the airwaves. As for FREEZER
10, they gave their all but came up short….Congratulations to the EXPRESS !!!!!!!!

TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette FINALS GAME 2 FREEZER 10 vs EXPRESS Tuesday May 9 The EXPRESS face elimination. FREEZER 10 will
have to deal with some adversity as Jean Roy is not available, Manny Tavaroff is battling a flu bug and Anne-Marie Parent
is not at 100%. The EXPRESS start the match with only 6 players but it takes
only a few minutes for the remaining two absentees [Alicia Cafferata and Valerie Frost] to show up. The EXPRESS notice the short FREEZER 10 bench and focus their defensive efforts on Manny Tavaroff. Leonard Luedee and Nick Kohner play a much more aggressive defensive coverage. Manny is having a hard time getting free and is forced to take low percentage shots
on many occasions. The EXPRESS open the match with good offensive pressure as
Tony Ricciardi uses his physical tools to create some breathing room and take several dangerous shots. FREEZER 10 is defending well and Wai Jang has an active glove in the early going. With a short bench, FREEZER 10 is hoping to score first, then try to increase the lead. This would allow FREEZER to pick and choose when to go on offense.
Any other scenario will force FREEZER 10 players to spend lots of energy and this may well hamper the team in the long
run. Tony Ricciardi is creating lots of problems for the FREEZER defenders. Several physical encounters with some FREEZER players provokes some sparks but no penalty calls are awarded. Sylvain Loyer is rarely tested from in-close as FREEZER 10 is not able to penetrate
the EXPRESS defense. At the other end, Wai Jang is called upon more than once
to stop point-blank shots. So far so good as Wai makes the saves. The first five minutes of the period, sees no goals, but territorial advantage is firmly in the EXPRESS
camp. For every shot FREEZER 10 obtains on Loyer, the EXPRESS get two on Jang. A breakdown in defensive coverage leads to the first goal of the game. Leonard Luedee is controlling the play at the left point and takes a shot.
Wai Jang makes the save but gives up a rebound. Tony Ricciardi pit-bulls
his way to the loose ball and shoots it home. EXPRESS 1-0 at 14:50. A big goal for the EXPRESS. This will exact a greater energy
expenditure by FREEZER. Ina Garabedian comes close a couple of times of tying
up the game when Sylvain Loyer gives up rebounds from Manny Tavaroff pointshots. The
ball though would not cooperate. With about 7 minutes to go, the ball is in the
FREEZER zone. Réal Paquette does a give-and-go with Wai Jang and spots Manny
Tavaroff heading towards the central high slot. Just a few seconds before the
give-and-go, Paquette gave Tavaroff a signal to head for that area. The pass
is made and Manny accepts it. He shakes off his cover and cuts to the right,
he unloads a high wrister from 15 feet. The ball pinballs it’s way just
inside the left post as Ina Garabedian and her EXPRESS defender were in the low slot.
SCORE TIED at 1-1 at 6:45. This pumps up FREEZER. The territorial advantage that the EXPRESS had is now evaporated.
For only 5 minutes though. With just over a minute to go in the period. Leonard Luedee fires a slapshot from near his net.
Somehow, the ball finds it’s way into the FREEZER net. For all francophones
out there, there is an expression that fits the shot… il a les “gosses bénites”. Lucky or not, it counts. EXPRESS 2-1 at 1:19. The first period ends with this score. FREEZER 10 has a good start to the second period and several more players, other than Manny,
obtain some scoring chances. Victor Chernoff, relatively quiet in the first period,
finds his game and creates several scoring chances on the off-wing. At the 3
minute mark, FREEZER 10 pulls even. Once again, Réal Paquette sets up Manny Tavaroff
with a long pass. Manny takes another high wrister towards the left post. Sylvain Loyer makes the save but the ball ricochets off several players and enters
the net. A very lucky goal. Lui
aussi a les “g.b”. SCORE TIED at 2-2 at 17:00. About 2 minutes later, Kate Crosby comes close of making a second “haka” dance when she misses
a redirection attempt. She bumps Sylvain Loyer in the process and gets called
for it. The EXPRESS don’t score on the ensuing powerplay and even take
a penalty when Tony Ricciardi comes into contact with Anne-Marie Parent and sends her to the floor. About 4 minutes later, Tony Ricciardi is involved in a ruckus with Sylvain Léonard and Manny Tavaroff. All involved receive a minor penalty. The
EXPRESS do not score again as Wai Jang comes up with key glove saves. Tension
mounts as there is less than 10 minutes to play. With about 5 minutes to go in
the period, FREEZER gets a golden chance to take the lead when Ina Garabedian spots Réal Paquette alone in the low slot. She makes a perfect pass which is followed by an imperfect shot as Paquette misses
wide to the right. Several catholic swear words were silently uttered. A wild west finish best describes the final 5 minutes. Sylvain
Léonard is called for a penalty with 3:09 to go. The EXPRESS start their powerplay
but decide to make a change. Victor Chernoff gets on too early and the EXPRESS
get called for too many players. 3-on-3 play provides both teams with scoring
chances but both goaltenders stand up. With a minute to go in the period, FREEZER
gets called for too many players on a bad change. The EXPRESS receive 45 seconds
of powerplay time but are unable to put it in as the period ends. Overtime looms. The EXPRESS have 60 seconds remaining of powerplay time to start the Overtime. They obtain 2 or 3 chances but nothing major. FREEZER kills
off the penalty. The EXPRESS remain on the offensive and press for advantage. The majority of the play is in the FREEZER zone.
Wai Jang is kept very busy. With about a minute to go, Tony Ricciardi
breaks free from his defender and takes a low hard shot near the right post. Wai
snags it with a beautiful glove save. The final sixty seconds go by and we will
head for the Shootout. FREEZER goes first and sends Kate Crosby. Kate
moves in and fires a shot directly in Loyer’s breadbasket. The EXPRESS
then send out Alicia Cafferata. She moves in and fires a low shot that is saved
by Jang. FREEZER counters with Manny Tavaroff.
Manny moves in and fires a high shot right into the belly of Loyer. The
EXPRESS send out Tony Ricciardi, Tony dekes to his right but is denied by Jang. FREEZER
sends out Ina Garabedian. Ina dekes to her left but loses control of the ball. The EXPRESS puts forth Diana Tourneur. Diane
imitates Ina after she makes a deke to her right. FREEZER sends out Réal Paquette. He moves in and takes a wrister towards the right side and Loyer snags it. The EXPRESS send out Victor Chernoff. Victor dekes to his
left, freezes Jang and fires a wrister into the upper right corner. The EXPRESS
win the game and force GAME 3….. FINAL SCORE FREEZER 10 = 2 EXPRESS = 3

SYLVAIN LOYER (EXP) = 21/23 .913 TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette FINALS GAME 1 EXPRESS vs FREEZER 10 Tuesday May 2 The regular season series was won by FREEZER 10. FREEZER
posted a 4-1 record against the EXPRESS. Those 4 losses were the only ones suffered
by the EXPRESS all season long. FREEZER also had the lead in goals scored during
the 5 game series by posting a 16-10 edge. Complete lineups for both teams, which
means 8 players for the EXPRESS and 7 for FREEZER 10. Sylvain Loyer in nets for
the EXPRESS while Wai Jang does the same for FREEZER 10. The two best teams in
the League meet. Both have a “Big Three” unit. For the EXPRESS [Chernoff + Ricciardi + Luedee] while for FREEZER 10 [Garabedian + Tavaroff + Roy]. How well each team will be able to shut down the other threesome will determine who
will win. This is a best of 3 series…. GAME 1 begins and FREEZER has a good jump from the get-go. Ina
Garabedian and Jean Roy are able to establish some decent ball control and obtain a few shots.
No pointshots as the EXPRESS forwards are doing a good job covering Kate Crosby and Réal Paquette. Victor Chernoff corrals a loose ball and fires a hard shot from the left side towards Wai Jang. Wai makes the body save and smothers the rebound.
A key for victory will be the limitation of rebounds for both goaltenders as both teams have “diggers”
ready to pounce on them. Both teams do a line change and the ball ends up in
the FREEZER zone. Anne-Marie Parent picks up the loose ball and moves up the
right side. About 15 feet away from the central line, she makes a pass towards
Manny Tavaroff. Manny accepts it and cuts towards the low slot. Manny is moving towards the left post and quickly puts the ball on his backhand. Sylvain Loyer is following Manny’s progress and moves off the right post. Manny fires his backhand shot but it fails to elevate. Instead,
it rolls on the floor. Somehow, the ball finds a clear lane and enters the net
just inside the vacated right post !! Lucky goal but it still counts J. FREEZER 1-0 at 24:45. First blood is drawn. The tempo of play is very quick as both sides are able to mount rushes.
Concerning the EXPRESS, those rushes end up many times being blocked by FREEZER defenders as Victor and Tony receive
“special defensive coverage”. Concerning FREEZER 10, shots are coming
aplenty as Sylvain Loyer is giving out plenty of rebounds. Fortunately for the
EXPRESS, the majority of those rebounds are cleared away. Reaching the 5 minute
mark of the period, it becomes clear that the territorial edge in play is heading for FREEZER 10. No breakaways are being allowed by either side. FREEZER 10
is able to put constant pressure in the offensive zone. Roughly 30 seconds of
every minute so far is played in the EXPRESS zone, about 15 seconds in the neutral zone and the other 15 seconds in the FREEZER
zone. At the 10 minute mark, FREEZER doubles it’s lead. Sylvain Léonard pinches in and moves along the right wing. He
makes a quick dump pass to Jean Roy, posted in the high slot. Jean moves to his
left and quickly fires a shot that goes past Loyer and into the net. Good execution. FREEZER 2-0 at 16:10. Confidence amongst
FREEZER 10 players is now palpable. About 5 minutes later, FREEZER strikes again. An EXPRESS offensive rush is stopped near the central area by Réal Paquette. He quickly spots Manny Tavaroff at the right wing low slot. The pass is made and Manny fires a shot. Sylvain Loyer makes
the save but gives a rebound . Ina Garabedian pounces on it and fires a low shot
just inside the left post. Quick hands !!
FREEZER 3-0 at 11:52. The EXPRESS call a “goalie timeout”. The team needs to regroup as FREEZER is quick off the starting blocks. The “timeout” does wonders for the EXPRESS as they score a quick goal about 2 minutes later. A good offensive rush by the EXPRESS is followed by good ball control presence in
the offensive zone. Victor Chernoff is moving all over the place. The ball finds itself in the right wing area and Sherry Page fires a shot towards Wai Jang. Wai makes the save but is unable to freeze the ball on his left.
Victor Chernoff swoops in and taps the ball into the net. Speed kills. FREEZER 3-1 at 9:25. This goal pumps
up the EXPRESS and you can see their confidence coming back. About 2 minutes
later, the EXPRESS strike again. Leonard Luedee grabs a loose ball near his own
net and moves on left wing. He is confronted by Sylvain Léonard at the central
line. Leonard is able to forward the ball past Sylvain onto Victor Chernoff’s
stick. Victor moves towards the left wing slot but is confronted by Kate Crosby. Victor spots Diana Tourneur standing all alone in the prime slot area. Victor gets the ball past Kate and onto Diana’s stick. Diana
immediately one times it with a very precise wrister into the top right corner !! Beautiful
goal and great construction of the play!!! FREEZER 3-2 at 7:18. Now we have a game. A defensive takeover suddenly becomes
evident for the remaining 7 minutes of the period as FREEZER is trying to calm down and attempts to shut down a now, energetic
EXPRESS team. Offensive chances get limited and the period ends with FREEZER
up by a goal. The second period begins very well for the EXPRESS. A
complete breakdown in the FREEZER defence, allows Diana Tourneur and Alicia Cafferata to set up a point-blank shot for Victor
Chernoff. He does not miss. SCORE
TIED at 3-3 at 24:58. The EXPRESS are in full offensive mode now. The momentum has definitely swung their way. In the immediate
faceoff, Victor Chernoff grabs a loose ball and moves to the high left wing slot area.
He fires off a hard snapshot which is grabbed in spectacular fashion by Wai Jang.
A big save !! About a minute later, Tony Ricciardi obtains one of his
few scoring chances of the evening but is stoned again by Wai Jang. Two key saves
as it would turn out to be. This shakes up FREEZER 10 from it’s doldrums
and the team responds. Manny Tavaroff regains his “shoot mode” function
and peppers Sylvain Loyer with shots from all angles. Play is getting rougher
as well along the walls as both teams want to get that next goal. Tony Ricciardi
goes in hard against Sylvain Léonard behind the FREEZER net and a delayed penalty is going to be called on the EXPRESS. Sylvain shakes off Tony and advances towards the opposing net. He makes a drop pass to Manny Tavaroff who then goes for a hard high wrister. The ball squeezes through Sylvain Loyer and lands in the back of the net.
FREEZER 4-3 at 15:53. This
sparks FREEZER and Jean Roy brings the “hammer down” about 90 seconds later.
Jean receives a pass from Captain Léonard in the high slot on his backhand. Jean
moves from right to left and brings the ball to his forehand. Sylvain Loyer follows
the movement but is a bit slow to cover an opening near the left post. Jean Roy
notices this and fires off a quick shot. The ball enters the net just before
Loyer can plug up the hole. Precision pays off.
FREEZER 5-3 at 14:12. These two quick goals pumps up FREEZER 10 big time. They do not decide to sit on the lead. Instead,
they continue to put pressure on the EXPRESS defenders. This leads to a Tony
Ricciardi penalty for body contact. Sylvain Léonard sets up at the right point
and spots Manny Tavaroff deep on right wing. The pass is made and Manny makes
an “across the crease” pass towards Kate Crosby standing near the left post.
Kate redirects the pass and witnesses the ball entering the net. Her first
goal of the season !! What followed can only be described as a British “haka”
dance. Made famous in New Zealand by it’s rugby players, a “haka”
dance is intended to unite the team and instill fear in the enemy. Kate’s
“haka” goes like this. She brings up both her wrists in a punching
mode and starts gyrating. Then she swivels her hips “Elvis” style. She finishes off with a wicked knee on knee maneuver.
Quite a sight !!! J FREEZER 6-3 at 10:58. With a possible EXPRESS team still in shock, FREEZER increases it’s lead again
when Manny Tavaroff completes his hat trick with a beautiful backhand shot in the upper right corner after moving towards
his left. FREEZER 7-3 at 9:44. Wai
Jang’s two key saves allows FREEZER 10 to find “their game” and score 4 goals within a timespan of 6 minutes. Game 1 is now in the books. The EXPRESS
must win Game 2 in order to force a third and deciding game… FINAL SCORE EXPRESS = 3 FREEZER 10 = 7 FIRST PERIOD 1) FREEZER

a shootout if necessary. FREEZER 10 only needs a tie to advance to the Finals. TNT faces an uphill battle when 3 players are missing from their lineup. Alison Traynor, Michel Godin and Ryan Lussier are all absent. Vegas is not giving good odds for TNT. Tired legs will show
themselves in the second period. The only way for TNT to make it happen is to
build up a lead in the first period and hope that Jimmy Garoufalis can shut the door the rest of the way. FREEZER 10 has a full lineup of 7 and Rachelle Salamon makes an appearance to allow the team to have 2
full lines. The order of the day for FREEZER is to run hard and make TNT players expend a lot of energy on every
shift. The match begins and this plan is followed to a “T”. TNT works very hard in limiting offensive chances and Jimmy G. is keeping rebounds
to a minimum. In fact, TNT has the edge in play early on as they are pressing
for the first goal. Wai Jang is not called upon to make tough saves but sees
ball action around his net. For the first 10 minutes, both teams exchange shot
for shot. Manny Tavaroff is definitely on “shoot mode” as he peppers
Jimmy G. every chance that he gets. Backhands, wristers, snappers, you name it. At the 9 minute mark, FREEZER is assessed a team
penalty for having too many players on the floor. A bad change resulted in 5
players participating in the play for several seconds. TNT obtains 2 good scoring
chances for Billy Ponting but Wai Jang comes up with good saves. The penalty
ends but TNT continues to put pressure on FREEZER and it finally pays off when Billy Ponting spots Brian Hazek alone in the
central area. He makes him a pass and Brian lets go a hard snapper that finds
the top right corner over Wai’s left shoulder. TNT obtains first blood. TNT 1-0 at The beginning of the second period sees FREEZER killing off a penalty to Kate Crosby that was assessed
late in the first period. This powerplay would represent the final quality offensive
chances for TNT but Wai Jang would not allow anything past him. Jean Roy puts
FREEZER ahead for good at the 8 minute mark when he dekes one TNT defender on the right side, cuts towards the low slot, remains
unchecked and waits for Jimmy G. to make the first move. Jimmy acquiesces and
Jean shoots the ball through the legs and into the net. Patience gets rewarded.

GP A series that would match the playmaking abilities of Billy Ponting and Michel Godin versus
the FREEZER 10 Big Three of Ina Garabedian, Manny Tavaroff and Jean Roy. A goaltender
matchup between Jimmy “The Canadian” Garoufalis and Wai Jang who will want to show the league that he can play
and win big games. Game 1 begins and both teams are like boxers in Round #1, studying and looking for holes in
the opponent’s defense. FREEZER 10 begin the match with the offensive duo
of Ina Garabedian and Jean Roy. TNT brings forth Anne Coyle and Brian Hazek. The opening minutes feature a 50-50 sharing of territorial play as both teams obtain
one or two shots on net but with no rebounds. Both goalies do a good job, very
early, not to give up rebounds. At the 3 minute mark, Jean Roy picks up a penalty
for Interference. TNT obtains a golden chance of scoring the first goal on the
powerplay but only register 2 shots on net during the full 2 minutes. The FREEZER
10 defensive trio of Sylvain Léonard, Kate Crosby and Anne-Marie Parent do a very good job of keeping TNT to the outside and
Wai was called upon only twice making quality saves and denying any rebounds. The
penalty kill infuses FREEZER 10 with renewed determination and they start gaining an edge in territorial play. Manny Tavaroff obtains several shots on Jimmy G., mostly backhanders without warning. Jimmy G. is solid and makes the saves but a few rebounds start popping up, fortunately for TNT, those rebounds
are either missed by FREEZER forwards or cleared by TNT defenders. The edge in
play for FREEZER 10, starting at about the 6 minute mark, is indicated in a 2/1 ratio of shots taken on net. 2 FREEZER shots for every TNT shot. TNT obtains a few scoring
chances but Wai Jang is quite aggressive in cutting down the angles and swallows every shot directed towards him. It clearly becomes a goaltender’s duel as neither team finds the back of the net. The amount of rebounds that Jimmy G. is starting to give up though is a cause for concern. TNT obtains successive scoring chances on one shift when Billy Ponting and Anne Coyle find themselves with
close-in situations. Wai Jang stands up tall and makes the saves. Saving one defenseman’s ass for poor clearing [me !!!]. Thanks
Wai !! At the other end, Manny Tavaroff continues pounding shots towards Jimmy
while Jean Roy and Ina Garabedian try their give-and-go tactics but are unable to put one past Jimmy G. With just under 5 minutes to go in the first period, Brian Hazek obtains a penalty for tripping. FREEZER 10 sees this as a good opportunity to draw first blood. TNT
does not agree and perform admirably in limiting FREEZER 10 to only 2 shots on Jimmy G.
The remaining two minutes of the period tick by with no clear scoring chances for either team. The heroes so far are the goaltenders. During the break, the FREEZER 10 braintrust [everybody !!] discuss strategy and it is agreed
upon to continue the offensive pressure as the Jimmy Wall has to crack. The second period begins and FREEZER 10 do, indeed, obtain shots on net and the TNT defense is showing
signs of deficiency as Ina Garabedian and Kate Crosby get sent on clear breakaways but are stopped both times by the “Canadian”. So far, the FREEZER 10 defense are doing a good job on both Billy Ponting and Michel
Godin as they are not able to dominate. They create some setups but are not dominating
as the ball, more and more, is in the TNT zone. FREEZER 10 draws first
blood at the 10 minute mark. Ina Garabedian is in control of the ball in the
offensive left corner and makes a deke on a TNT defender. The deked out defender
pulls Ina down with the stick and this draws a delayed penalty as Ina was still in control of the ball, she is able to forward
the ball into the low slot where Sylvain Léonard is, having moved in from the point position.
Sylvain fires the ball quickly on Jimmy. The “Canadian” makes
the save but sees the ball pop up and over him, Jimmy twists his body around to try and stop the progress of the ball but
can only witness it entering his own net. A fortunate bounce.

TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette SCREAMING MANIACS [4-13-2] vs FREEZER 10 [14-3-2] Tuesday April 4 The fifth and last meeting between the teams. The
season series stands at 4-0 in favor of FREEZER 10 with FREEZER 10 enjoying a 21-6 lead in goals scored. FREEZER 10 is missing one regular as Kate Crosby is missing.
Diana Tourneur and Rachelle Salamon help out. The MANIACS have one absence
as Evan May is not in the lineup, he is replaced by Lino Pietrantonio. FREEZER
10 post a 4-1 record in their last 5 while the MANIACS are 2-3 in their last 5 as well.
Wai Jang in nets for FREEZER 10.
Matthew Barlow in nets for the MANIACS. FREEZER 10 players switch positions for this game as defenders become forwards and forwards
become defenders. An experiment to allow all players to have a better “understanding”
of what teammates must endure in the “other” position. With this
game having no meaning whatsoever in the standings, Sylvain Léonard decides to go ahead with this experiment. The match begins. Both teams indicate pretty much their colors
early on as both sides open up the offense. Jean Roy and Manny Tavaroff, now
playing as defensemen, go through growing pains. Wai Jang is called upon early
to make some big stops. The MANIACS’ Lino Pietrantonio is off to a good
start as he jumps on several rebounds off Mike Callaghan shots but is unable to put one of them past Wai. FREEZER 10 open the scoring when Sylvain Léonard fires a slapshot from the right point position after receiving
a pass from Ina Garabedian. The shot is saved by Matthew Barlow but the ball
hits his chest and heads straight up, Matthew loses sight of the ball as it falls behind him and rolls into the net. FREEZER 1-0 at 21:20. The MANIACS intensify
their offensive maneuvers and finally obtain results when Lino Pietrantonio is finally able to bury a rebound off a Callaghan
pointshot. SCORE TIED 1-1 at 18:28. Just
over two minutes go by when FREEZER regains the lead. Réal Paquette jumps on
a rebound to the left of Matthew Barlow off a Jean Roy shot and is able to squeeze a wrister between the right post and Barlow. FREEZER 2-1 at 16:15. Both teams maintain
their offensive intentions. Mike Callaghan scores a beauty when he dekes two
FREEZER defenders, moves to within 5 feet and snipes the upper right corner with a wrister.
SCORE TIED at 2-2 at 12:33. The MANIACS maintain the offensive pressure
after the ensuing faceoff, for a full minute, but commit a disastrous turnover when Jennifer Jones-Patulli makes a passing
attempt back to the left point position that gets intercepted by Réal Paquette. Paquette
goes on the breakaway along the right wing and notices Matthew Barlow staying close to his left post, thus giving an opening
near his right post. Paquette takes a low shot from a distance of about 10 feet
that rolls past Barlow and enters the net just inside the far right post according to Matthew’s point of view. FREEZER 3-2 at 11:12. Both teams exchange
chances and Wai Jang is called upon more than once as defensive coverage is not on the “to do list” for this evening. Jean Roy increases the lead for FREEZER when he fires a backhand up into the left
corner after outwaiting Matthew Barlow. FREEZER 4-2 at 5:49. Mike Callaghan sounds the comeback for the MANIACS with his third and fourth point of the period. His third comes when a pointshot from him produces a rebound that Lino Pietrantonio
puts away past a sprawled Wai Jang. FREEZER 4-3 at 1:56. The fourth point comes from another pointshot rebound when Jennifer Jones-Patulli finds a loose ball rebound
near the left post and buries it. SCORE TIED 4-4 at 0:30. Two goals within a timespan of 86 seconds. The second period sees more of the same style of play as neither team is willing to establish
a defensive mode of play. It resembles more a shinny game. Jennifer Jones-Patulli gives the first lead in the match for the MANIACS when she fires a shot through
Wai Jang in a side-to-side passing game with Régent Proulx. MANIACS 5-4 at 17:05. Jean Roy brings both teams back to square one when he completes a nice passing play
from Ina Garabedian and buries a good wrister past Matthew Barlow. SCORE TIED
at 5-5 at 12:52. Manny Tavaroff then does his “Steve Smith” imitation
when his attempted pass through the middle, from behind his own net, hits Régent Proulx stationed in front of Wai Jang. The ball comes to a stop in front of Régent who quickly fires a short wrister into
the upper right corner before Wai can react. MANIACS 6-5 at 10:32. Not a minute later, Mike Callaghan obtains his 5th point of the match when he finishes off a
nice tic-tac-toe play involving Lino Pietrantonio and Gillian Roper. MANIACS
7-5 at 9:41. Sylvain Léonard is sent on a breakaway by Jean Roy and beats Matthew
Barlow through the legs to bring FREEZER to within one about a minute later. MANIACS
7-6 at 8:29. FREEZER players then try to obtain the equalizer but fail as they
obtain only 3 or 4 good scoring chances in the last 8 minutes… FINAL SCORE SCREAMING MANIACS = 7 FREEZER 10 = 6 FIRST PERIOD 1) FREEZER = Léonard (7) [Garabedian] 21:20 2) MANIACS = Pietrantonio (1) [Callaghan]

saves/shots against TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette FREEZER 10 [13-3-2] vs EXPRESS [13-3-3] Tuesday March 28 The fifth and last meeting between the teams. The
season series stands at 3-1 in favor of FREEZER 10 with FREEZER 10 enjoying a 12-7 lead in goals scored. FREEZER 10 is missing one regular as Manny Tavaroff is enjoying becoming a Daddy for the second
time. FREEZER 10 will play with only 6.
The EXPRESS have a complete roster. FREEZER 10 post a 4-1 record in their
last 5 while the EXPRESS are 4-1 in their last 5 as well. Wai Jang in nets for FREEZER 10. Sylvain Loyer in nets for
the EXPRESS. The EXPRESS lead FREEZER 10 by 1 pt in the standings.
This is the last game for the EXPRESS this season while FREEZER 10 still has one more to go after tonight. The winner of this game is guaranteed of finishing first and will meet the winner of the [ TNT vs SCREAMING
MANIACS ] 1 game playoff round. Regarding FREEZER 10, with only 6 players dressed,
time management as far as shifts are concerned becomes very important. If FREEZER
10 needs a late goal or strong defensive play late in the game, strong legs shall be needed.
So far this season, FREEZER 10 have done a good job of shutting down Victor Chernoff [ League Points Leader] and Tony
Ricciardi, the main 1-2 punch of the EXPRESS. The FREEZER 10 defense will have
to do so once again. Leonard Luedee can certainly become a problem if his point
shots hit the net with a high degree of accuracy. The match begins and the EXPRESS are having some problems with their offense. Several shots go wide and miss the net or several passes are off target, thus creating turnovers in the
neutral zone. Victor Chernoff and Tony Ricciardi are unable, for now, to penetrate
the FREEZER defensive wall setup against them. Sherry Page and Alicia Cafferata
complete the forwards. FREEZER 10 obtains a few good scoring chances when Ina
Garabedian and Jean Roy are together on the floor, their give-and-go passing plays allows several shots from the high slot
area but Sylvain Loyer proves unbeatable so far. FREEZER carries the play more
into the EXPRESS zone than vice versa. How long this can last with only
2 players on the bench ?? Time will tell.
The EXPRESS are having a hard time getting shots through and when they do, Wai Jang is well placed to make the first
save and does not give up rebounds. Especially important when you have the likes
of Victor or Tony ready to pounce on them. At around the 7 minute mark, Sylvain
Léonard receives a penalty for high-sticking. The EXPRESS send out Diana Tourneur,
Alicia Cafferata, Victor Chernoff and Leonard Luedee. Good ball control allows
the EXPRESS to setup several attempts on net but, somehow, the shots keep missing the net or hitting a FREEZER defender. With about 30 seconds to go on the powerplay, Diana Tourneur receives the ball at
the left point position and forwards a pass towards Victor Chernoff in the low left slot.
Victor, unable to make some forward progress, spins around and makes a long pass back to Leonard at the right point. Leonard receives the pass and tees it up. A
blast !! The ball jumps off the stickblade and enters the upper right corner. No goalie could have stopped that shot as it was very hard and very precise. EXPRESS 1-0 at 17:30. FREEZER 10, like
all good teams, does not waste time responding to this early deficit. The following
minute sees good pressure in the EXPRESS zone. The ball is sent, by FREEZER 10,
into the offensive left corner where Ina Garabedian fights for possession of the loose ball.
She comes out the winner against Valerie Frost and directs a short pass to Sylvain Léonard at the left point. Sylvain takes a quick wrist shot that makes it’s way through several players
and ends up into the upper right corner. Sylvain Loyer must have been screened
because he reacted after the ball had passed him by. SCORE TIED 1-1 at 16:11. FREEZER 10 is definitely enjoying the advantage in shots, doubling the EXPRESS output,
but quality chances to score are hard to come by. The EXPRESS offense returns
to a funkish state as they are having problems finding a solution to the FREEZER defense.
Kate Crosby in particular is having a great period with her defensive play as she breaks up several passing attempts
by EXPRESS players and initiates several transitions plays from the FREEZER 10 zone.
With about 6 minutes left to play in the period, the EXPRESS get very opportunistic.
A right point blast from Leonard Luedee creates a pinball effect as the ball hits sticks, legs and several other bodyparts
before stopping on Victor Chernoff’s stick. Victor lifts the ball over
a sprawled Wai Jang, who had performed a big save in the previous seconds off the Luedee shot, and into the net. EXPRESS 2-1 at 5:50. The remainder of the first period sees
not much action as both sides put up defensive walls and limit scoring chances. The
shot clock indicates a 15-6 edge for FREEZER. The second period becomes a little more open minded as FREEZER pinches in a lot more in
order to tie up the score. This creates a few more scoring opportunities for
the EXPRESS off turnovers but Wai Jang is quite solid in nets and denies every opportunity.
At the 4 minute mark, Tony Ricciardi picks up a penalty for slashing. FREEZER
sends out Ina Garabedian, Anne-Marie Parent, Sylvain Léonard and Réal Paquette. FREEZER
establishes control and Paquette sets up at the left point area with the ball. Several
passes get made and close-in shots by Ina and Sylvain are repulsed by Sylvain Loyer.
The ball is cleared by the EXPRESS at the 40 second mark of the penalty. Paquette
collects the loose ball and moves in onto the left point area. The EXPRESS defender
guarding the points, shifts towards the right point area expecting a pass from Réal to Anne-Marie, instead, Réal takes a slapshot
that stays low and reaches Sylvain Léonard and an EXPRESS defender some 3 feet in front of Loyer’s net. Suddenly, the low shot gets deflected and ends up entering the net in the upper right corner. Either Sylvain deflected it or it hit the EXPRESS defender but I believe it was the former. SCORE TIED 2-2 at 20:55. Stamina is still not an issue for
the FREEZER 10 players as time management is well applied. The EXPRESS redouble
their offensive efforts and Sherry Page is often the benefactor of passing plays but is unable to direct shots towards the
FREEZER net. About halfway thru the period, FREEZER obtains the lead for the
first time. Réal Paquette intercepts a clearing play in the central zone and
spots Jean Roy in the low slot area. The pass is made and Jean zings one into
the roof as Sylvain Loyer was unable to come out enough to cut down the angle. Beau
tir Jean !!! FREEZER 3-2 at 12:28. Team
timeouts and goaltender timeouts begin to get taken as both teams need them to either regroup or to stop one team from establishing
a disturbing offensive trend. As far as FREEZER is concerned, any stoppage in
play is a bonus as tired legs start to appear. From the 12 minute mark till the
7 minute mark, a total of 3 timeouts get taken. The EXPRESS start spending more
time in the offensive zone as tired FREEZER legs prohibit effective checking. Nonetheless,
the FREEZER defense bends but doesn’t break as Wai Jang continues blocking shots.
With about 1:30 to go in the game, the EXPRESS pull their goalie as they must at the very least tie the game in order
to retain their 1 pt lead in the standings. Tony Ricciardi, Victor Chernoff,
Leonard Luedee, Alicia Cafferata and Diana Tourneur are on the gym floor for the EXPRESS.
Furious action near the FREEZER net as the ball ricochets and hits about anything.
Upto 5 players are near the crease area including Diana Tourneur, she finds herself unchecked near the left post with
a rebound. She takes the shot before any FREEZER defender (mainly myself) can
get to her, Wai Jang dives towards her, makes the save but the ball pinballs it’s way through Wai and into the net. One of those goals where you shake your head defensively but jubilate offensively.
SCORE TIED 3-3 at 1:00. The ensuing faceoff is won by the EXPRESS and they resume
their offensive foray. They decide to pull their goaltender once again, the EXPRESS
are going for the win and a first place finish. A shot gets taken but is blocked
by a FREEZER defender, Jean Roy picks up the loose ball and hears shouting from his own bench that the EXPRESS net is empty. Jean looks up and ahead and notices that, indeed, the enemy net is empty, Jean moves
a little more to his left in order to get a better angle and takes the shot. The
ball sails into the net. FREEZER 4-3 at 0:39.
The EXPRESS pull their goalie for the third time at the 0:30 mark but are unable to obtain even a single shot on net
as the FREEZER defense simply denies it. The final seconds tick by as Sylvain
Léonard does a good job of wasting time in the defensive left corner taking on two EXPRESS players. The game ends and FREEZER 10 are crowned Regular Season Champs. Most
likely, these two teams shall meet in the FINALS but, with playoffs, sometimes you never know…. FINAL SCORE FREEZER 10 = 4 EXPRESS = 3 FIRST PERIOD 1) EXPRESS = Luedee (12) {pp} [Tourneur,

saves/shots against TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette FREEZER 10 [12-3-2] vs BOOMERANGS [8-8-2] Tuesday March 21 The fifth and last meeting between the teams. The season
series stands at 2-1-1 in favor of FREEZER 10 with FREEZER 10 enjoying a 18-11 lead in goals scored. FREEZER 10 has a complete lineup of 7 players, Sylvain Léonard is still searching for a 4th
woman player. For this game, Diana Tourneur helps to fill up the 8th
spot. The BOOMERANGS are short one regular as Julie Chenevert is absent, she
is replaced by Gillian Roper. FREEZER 10 is currently on a 2 game losing streak
while the BOOMERANGS are 2-2-1 in their last 5. Wai
Jang in nets for FREEZER 10. Mike Silvaggio in nets for BOOMERANGS. The match begins and both teams play cautiously. There
is room available for maneuvering in the BOOMERANGS zone but FREEZER 10, for now, is unable to make their adversaries pay
for their defensive shortcomings. Mike Silvaggio, as usual, goes down early when
the pressure mounts in his zone and makes several saves down low as most FREEZER 10 shots are along the floor. The BOOMERANGS obtain several good scoring chances from in close through good passing plays between Peggie
Lamarche and Pietro Porco but Wai Jang comes up with big saves while pushing rebounds to the side instead of back in front
which helps his defense out. Gradually, FREEZER 10 start revving up the engine
and spend a lot more time in the BOOMERANGS’ zone. If the first 5 minutes
of the match saw the BOOMERANGS obtain 3 good scoring chances, the next 5 saw them obtain none as FREEZER 10 was establishing
dominance in the offensive zone with an almost 3-to-1 advantage in shots. Mike
Silvaggio was making the saves but FREEZER 10 were now beginning to take high shots as both top corners were open. With about 8 minutes to go in the period, Manny Tavaroff picks up a loose ball behind the FREEZER net and
moves up along the left wing, reaching the central “redline”, Manny suddenly veers to his right towards the “faceoff
circle” and lets go a wicked wrister in mid-stride. The shot sails upward
and buries itself in the top left corner over Silvaggio’s right shoulder. A
beauty. FREEZER 1-0 at 8:21. Sensing
a weakness in the BOOMERANGS defensive cohesiveness, FREEZER 10 increases it’s forechecking and keeps the ball in the
BOOMERANGS zone. A poor BOOMERANGS clearing attempts results in an interception
by Anne-Marie Parent at the “blueline” on the right wing side. Anne-Marie,
still looking for her first goal of the season, fires a low shot that is saved by Silvaggio but a rebound occurs. Ina Garabedian, wisely located near the left post, fights for the control of the rebound and starts whacking
away in her attempts to put the ball past a sprawled Silvaggio. It takes 3 or
4 tries before the ball finally ends up in the back of the net. Perseverance
pays off !!! FREEZER 2-0 at 6:40. Not
even 20 seconds get elapsed when FREEZER strikes again. Ina Garabedian picks
up a loose ball in the offensive left wing corner and fires a good pass into the slot towards a streaking Jean Roy. Jean takes aim and fires a good hard wrister over Silvaggio’s left shoulder and into the upper right
corner. A bang-bang play. FREEZER
3-0 at 6:23. The BOOMERANGS find their legs and start mounting offensive pressure
in the FREEZER zone but very good defensive plays by Anne-Marie Parent and Kate Crosby, coupled with good stickwork by Wai
Jang prevents the BOOMERANGS from getting on the scoreboard. With the period
ending, the BOOMERANGS finally put one past Wai Jang when a screen shot from Frank Pietrantonio finds the back of the net. A good incursion by Renée-Claude Bastien provides a shot on net, she obtains the rebound
and makes a pass towards Angelo D’Agostino who attempts a shot that gets blocked but the ball comes directly onto Frank’s
stick who quickly fires a shot that goes through several legs and beats Wai just inside the left post. FREEZER 3-1 at 1:03. A good first period for FREEZER as their passing, positioning and teamspeed are in top shape. The BOOMERANGS are having plenty of difficulties in their own zone and they can thank
Mike Silvaggio that only 3 goals got scored on them. The second period begins
and the BOOMERANGS have found their defensive game as they are now limiting FREEZER 10 offensive chances to the “outside”. Many shots go wide and high as FREEZER continues to test Silvaggio upstairs. Renée-Claude Bastien is proving to be one pesky player as she is able to create
several scoring chances down low for her teammates. Wai Jang is called upon to
make several stops. Peggie Lamarche is unable to do much offensively as she is
checked quite efficiently, Pietro Porco suffers a similar fate as his chances are all from “way out” instead of
within 10 feet. Nonetheless, the BOOMERANGS have picked up their game and obtain
results at the 16 minute mark. Suzanne Solomon receives a bad clearing attempt
by FREEZER and makes a pass towards Angelo D’Agostino, Angelo sees at least 3 players between himself and Wai Jang and
decides to let a blast go from the right point. The ball finds a way through
and beats Wai Jang. The ball had eyes.
FREEZER 3-2 at 16:26. Less than a minute later, Angelo picks up a penalty
for high-sticking, FREEZER 10 makes him pay when Ina Garabedian stuffs a 1 footer near the left post after a good set-up pass
from Jean Roy near the right post area. The side-to-side pass was too quick and
too well placed for Mike Silvaggio to react in time and crossover towards Ina. FREEZER
4-2 at 14:33. This goal gives some breathing room and reenergizes the FREEZER
10 offense. An avalanche of shots greets Mike Silvaggio as FREEZER 10 is now
pouring it on as 3 and sometimes all 4 players go on the offensive. The BOOMERANGS
find themselves again unable to counter this aggressive forechecking. The score
is still at 4-2 midway through the second period when Pietro Porco gets his only good scoring chance from in-close. Wai Jang comes out to cut the angle down and forces Pietro to shoot wide.
A good decision by Wai. FREEZER resumes control and the team witnesses
“THE SHIFT” by one Jean Roy. At the 8:27 mark, Jean Roy scores his
2nd goal of the game when a bad clearing attempt by the BOOMERANGS gets intercepted by me at the high slot, I redirect
a pass towards Jean Roy located near the right post area who one-times it. The
ball goes through Mike Silvaggio as he was late coming over. FREEZER 5-2 at 8:27. 48 seconds later, Diana Tourneur’s tenacious forechecking pays off when she
is able to create a turnover in the offensive right corner and directs a pass towards Jean Roy located in the slot. Jean accepts the pass and fires a good wrister into the back of the net.
FREEZER 6-2 at 7:39. Jean Roy wants to change but Sylvain Léonard tells
him to stay on, and with good reason, this guy was on a roll, keep feeding him !! 55
seconds later, Ina Garabedian corrals a loose ball situation in the left wing corner, dekes one player and makes a pass towards
Jean Roy located, once again, in the slot. Jean accepts the pass, moves to his
left and fires a hard wrister up into the upper left corner past Silvaggio. 3
goals within a timespan of 1:43. Needless to say, this broke the back of the
BOOMERANGS who never recovered. Superbe Jean !!!!

against MIKE SILVAGGIO (BM) = 36/43 TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette TNT [ Tuesday March 14 The fifth and last meeting between the teams. The
season series stands at 3-0-1 in favor of FREEZER 10. FREEZER 10
now has Wai Jang in nets replacing the injured Abby Castonovo. Wai will complete
the season with FREEZER 10. Jimmy Garoufalis is now the TNT goaltender. TNT is missing 2 regulars, Alison Traynor and Theo Michael. Régent [the ringer] Proulx and Jennifer Jones-Patulli fill out the roster as subs. FREEZER 10 boasts a full lineup with Julie Chenevert and Rachelle Salamon filling up the eighth and ninth
spots. This is the first game for Rachelle in a FREEZER 10 uniform. FREEZER 10 is currently running a 12 game unbeaten streak
[11-0-1]. TNT is currently on a 7 game losing streak. With only 4 games to go in the season, Wai Jang and his new teammates will have to learn each other’s
playing style rather quickly before the playoffs begin in order to mesh. The match begins and FREEZER 10 is showing signs of rust. The
effects of having a week off is definitely perceptible. Passing, defensive coverages,
shooting are all a little off key. Add to that constant nagging forechecking
from Billy Ponting and Jennifer Jones-Patulli from TNT. This forms a recipe for
a difficult start. Wai Jang is tested early and holds the fort while his new
teammates are doing several disappearing acts in front of him. At the four minute
mark TNT strikes first. Anne-Marie Parent and Sylvain Léonard find themselves
behind their own goalline. Anne-Marie is being pressured by Jennifer Jones-Patulli
on her left side and is looking to make a pass behind the net, from the left corner to the right corner, towards Sylvain. Unfortunately for Anne-Marie, the pass gets intercepted by a charging Billy Ponting,
who scoops up the ball, makes a wraparound move and stuffs the ball inside the right post before Wai Jang can cover the opening
with his left foot. TNT 1-0 at In between periods, FREEZER 10 regroups and discuss how to shake off this bad first period. The talk produces noticeable effects as FREEZER 10 find their legs and start using
the speed to create a higher number of scoring opportunities. TNT is not able
anymore to impose their forecheck because FREEZER 10 is able to make shorter and more precise passes during their breakouts. Turnovers are also kept to an acceptable minimum on the part of FREEZER. Jimmy Garoufalis gets tested more severely in the opening minutes of the second period but proves unbeatable,
allowing TNT to retain their 3 goal lead. At the other end of the gym floor,
Wai Jang receives few shots and they are all stopped. FREEZER 10 is able to be
first on the ball, which was not the case during the first period, and their defense players are pinching in a lot more. Most of the play is located in the TNT zone but FREEZER is unable to finish their
scoring opportunities. With about 10 minutes to go in the game, TNT increases
it’s lead. Kate Crosby is handling the ball in the FREEZER defensive zone
in the right corner when a mistake occurs. A rather subdued “OH DEAR ME”
is uttered as she sees the ball being taken away from her by Anne Coyle who then forwards a pass towards Billy Ponting. One deke and the ball finds it’s way into the net.

saves/shots against
TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette FREEZER 10 [ Tuesday February 28 The fourth meeting between the two teams. The
season series stands at 3-0 in favor of FREEZER 10. FREEZER 10 is
missing Jean Roy from the regular lineup. He is replaced by Marc Forget who is
subbing for the 4th time. Valerie Frost helps out as well since FREEZER
10 is still looking for a 4th woman player. A full lineup for the
SCREAMING MANIACS. FREEZER 10 is currently running a 11 game unbeaten streak
[10-0-1]. The MANIACS have a The game begins and the MANIACS get to flex their offensive muscles when Manny Tavaroff gets sent to
the sin bin for a hooking penalty at 24:20. The MANIACS send Greg Phendler, Matthew
Barlow, Jennifer Jones-Patulli and Joyce Turner on the powerplay. The MANIACS
come out of their zone and Matthew Barlow legally sets up a screen in front of Jimmy “The Greek God” Garoufalis. Jennifer does a give and go game with Joyce until the ball ends up with Greg Phendler. I slide over to try and block Greg’s shot but fail to do so. I turn around and see the ball heading for the upper right corner.
Unfortunately for Jimmy G, the screen setup by Matthew is so good that he never picked up the shot taken by Greg. The ball continues on it’s way and buries itself in the netting. Good sound powerplay tactic, shot from the point following a screen upon the goaltender. MANIACS 1-0 at 23:29. In the minutes that follows, Jimmy G
makes two big saves on proximity shots from Callaghan and Jones-Patulli. For
the first time in several games, FREEZER falls behind in the scoring and is having a hard time in their own zone. Those two big saves finally wakes up the FREEZER bench and Manny Tavaroff and Ina Garabedian provide a
good offensive shift with pinpoint passing and nagging forechecking. The MANIACS
though are not giving up a lot of room for maneuvering as key players for FREEZER are checked.
The FREEZER bench realizes that this will be a battle just to get some open floor area.
Nearing the 7 minute mark, Kate Crosby picks up a loose ball near the penalty bench area and feeds a side-to-side pass
to yours truly in the central zone. I move in and to the right a few more feet,
allowing some time for Ina and Manny to set up a screen in front of Régent, before I take a hard wrister towards the upper
right corner. Régent spots the incoming shot and shoots out his left glove hand
to grab the ball. At first, I was sure that Régent made the save as I see the
ball burrow into the glove, but then, I see Manny spotting something down on the floor behind Régent. As soon as I see Manny bringing his arms up into the air, I knew I had scored. Somehow, Régent was unable to hang onto my shot and the ball fought it’s way out of his glove and
rolled into the net. SCORE TIED 1-1 at 19:18.
There was no panic on the FREEZER bench when the MANIACS scored the early goal.
When on a long unbeaten streak, the level of confidence receives such a boost, that every facet of the game [passing,
shooting, play reads, defensive coverages, positioning] becomes enhanced and improved.
The beauty of hockey played at an increased level. A lot of fun when you
are involved in one. FREEZER reestablishes some offensive mojo but not enough
to really dominate. The MANIACS are doing a very good job of shutting down the
passing lanes down low. As well, the low slot area is cleaned out of any blue
shirted FREEZER 10 player. At the other end of the gym floor, the MANIACS don’t
obtain many offensive chances after their opening minutes as everything is now kept to the outside. Jimmy G. can now fully concentrate on only the incoming shot and not about who is around him and are they
friend or foe ?? This state of affairs is maintained for the duration of the
first period. FREEZER obtains the best offensive chances after the 5 minute mark
but are unable to find holes in the MANIACS defense. The MANIACS obtain
few chances but are battling hard to keep the score at 1-1. Between periods, the FREEZER bench discusses new tactics as it is quite apparent that the MANIACS are
playing tough down low. An emphasis on point shots is brought up. The second period begins and the state of affairs resume themselves.
After about 90 seconds, teams change lines and few more shots get taken. 90
seconds fly by rather quickly and line changes occur. The next 2 minutes would
prove to be the downfall of the MANIACS for this game. The FREEZER forward duo
of Ina Garabedian and Manny Tavaroff do a great job of nagging, pesky forechecking, the ball remains in the MANIACS zone. Suddenly, a loose ball situation erupts in front of Régent’s net. Ina and Manny fight off their defenders and are able to get shots off towards the net. Régent makes the saves but keeps giving up rebounds. One such
rebound finds itself on Ina’s stick. She takes another shot that is saved
by Régent but a long rebound occurs. While this whirlwind was going on, I had
moved into the low slot in order to help out my teammates, now, I find myself with Régent’s long rebound onto my stick. I fire a quick low wrister towards the left post.
A prone Régent sees the ball get lifted just above his right pad and enter the net just inside the left post. I receive credit for the goal but it’s really the great forechecking by Ina
and Manny that brought this goal about. FREEZER 2-1 at 22:19. The faceoff occurs and the ball finds itself behind the MANIACS’ net, Ina and Manny converge from
both sides of the net towards it’s back area, thus forcing the MANIACS defender in getting rid of the ball. The clearing attempt gets intercepted by yours truly at the high right slot area. I take a quick high wrister that deflects off a MANIACS defender, who was busy with Manny setting up a
screen, and lodges itself into the upper right corner. Régent Proulx had no chance
on this. A lucky goal but they do count J.
FREEZER 3-1 at 22:02. The MANIACS call a team timeout in order to collect
their thoughts and find their focus. FREEZER proceeds to a change concerning
their D but the forward duo of Ina and Manny remain on the field of play. Play
resumes and FREEZER continue their offensive control. Sylvain Léonard takes a
slapshot from the left point that sails wide and ends up behind Régent’s net.
Manny Tavaroff picks up the loose ball and makes a circuitous advance from the right corner to about the high right
slot area. Manny quickly decides to take a backhand shot from about 12 feet. Ask any goaltender, the backhand shot is one of the hardest shots to stop since it’s
all about reaction time. You cannot exactly predict where the shot will go to
since it’s hard to pick up the ball’s trajectory. So it becomes a
situation of how well can the goalie react once he sees the ball on it’s way.
Manny then takes the backhand shot and it is a riser. Régent has gone
down to cover anything down low but now sees that the ball is rising and heading for the crossbar. He can only hope to lift his shoulders and pray that the ball hits him.
It does not. The ball just goes in underneath the crossbar. Good shot Manny !!! FREEZER 4-1 at 20:36. 3 goals inside 2 minutes of play. With a 3 goal lead now established,
FREEZER plays shutdown and commits to a further checking job upon Mike Callaghan. The
MANIACS find themselves hard pressed to come up with good scoring chances. When
a few do occur, either the pass is a little off or the shot is not strong enough or Jimmy G makes the save. Time flies by rather quickly as there are few stoppages in play.
We are now down to the final two minutes when Marc Forget picks up a loose ball in the offensive right corner. He dekes around one MANIACS defender and spots an incoming Sylvain Léonard unchecked
into the low slot. Marc makes a seeing-eye pass through the slot area onto Sylvain’s
stick. Sylvain one-times it and fires the ball just inside the left post before
Régent can make it to that post to cover the angle. Nice pass and good shot !!! FREEZER 5-1 at 1:07. The final minute
trickles down when the MANIACS are able to put one by Jimmy G. Régent Proulx
makes a save off a long shot and redirects the rebound towards Mike Callaghan. Mike
proceeds to move into the offensive zone on the right wing and takes a shot. Jimmy
G. makes the save but gives up a rebound. Jennifer Jones-Patulli is first on
the ball and fires a low shot just inside the left post past a stretched out Jimmy G.
The ball nudges the post and enters the net. Good shot Jennifer !! FREEZER 5-2 at 0:15. FINAL SCORE FREEZER 10 = 5 SCREAMING MANIACS = 2 FIRST PERIOD 1) MANIACS = Phendler (6) {pp} [Turner,

saves/shots against TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette EXPRESS [ Tuesday February 21 The fourth meeting between the two teams. The
season series stands at 2-1 in favor of FREEZER 10. THE EXPRESS are
missing two of their regular women players, Suzanne Solomon and Sherry
Page fill in the empty slots. FREEZER 10 find themselves one short as Isabelle
Allard is unable to attend. She is replaced by Jennifer Jones-Patulli. THE EXPRESS have a 3-0-2 record in the last 5 while FREEZER 10 presents a perfect 5-0 record in their last
5. THE EXPRESS have a formidable offensive threesome in the likes of Victor Chernoff,
Tony Ricciardi and Leonard Luedee. Unfortunately for THE EXPRESS, there is not
much else offensively speaking after that and this is where the EXPRESS are lacking.
If 2 of those big three are silenced by the opposition, the EXPRESS find themselves in big trouble. FREEZER 10’s main asset are the quality of it’s women players.
Including games played this Feb.21st, here is a stats rundown of offensive production for each team. WOMEN FREEZER 10 (21G + 36A) = 57 PTS BOOMERANGS (10G + 36A) = 46 PTS THE EXPRESS (10G + 33A) = 43 PTS TNT (14G + 19A) = 33 PTS SCREAMING MANIACS (10G + 14A) = 24 PTS. MEN THE EXPRESS (60G + 32A) = 92 PTS BOOMERANGS (50G + 30A) = 80 PTS FREEZER 10 (46G + 31A) = 77 PTS TNT (35G + 36A) = 71 PTS SCREAMING MANIACS (28G + 23A) = 51 PTS The stats include all points from regulars and subs.
So, FREEZER 10 combines the offensive prowess of Ina Garabedian and the quality defensive play of Kate Crosby and Anne-Marie
Parent. One key reason why the team is doing so well. A possible Finals preview concerning this game between THE EXPRESS and FREEZER 10. As described above, the defensive game plan for FREEZER 10 was to prevent Leonard Luedee from teeing it
up at the point while shadowing Victor Chernoff and Tony Ricciardi as much as possible.
Sylvain Loyer in nets for THE EXPRESS while Jimmy “The Greek God” Garoufalis is in nets for an injured
Abby Castonovo. Abby has reinjured his knee and is most likely done for the rest
of the season. Get well Abby !!! The
game begins and a fast tempo is quickly established by both teams. No defensive
chess match like the previous 2-1 game won by FREEZER 10. Both teams open the
game and pinch in as the situation dictates. In the early minutes, most of the
shots taken by THE EXPRESS are from the outside as Jimmy G. is not severely tested.
FREEZER 10 meanwhile enjoys a few more quality scoring chances but Sylvain Loyer uses his solid goaltending style to
plug up any holes and limits rebounds to a minimum. In the first 6 minutes, Leonard
Luedee finds himself unable to take his powerful slapper towards Jimmy G. as either Manny Tavaroff or Jean Roy are doing a
terrific job of covering him. THE EXPRESS thus find their offensive chances in
the ballhandling plays from Tony Ricciardi and Victor Chernoff. They find, however,
always a stick or a body part in the way as the FREEZER 10 D corps (Crosby, Parent, Léonard & Paquette) do a good job
of getting in the way and allowing Jimmy G. to concentrate only on the shot. Nearing
the 9 minute mark of the period, FREEZER 10 draws first blood. Anne-Marie Parent
picks up a loose ball near the penalty bench and spots Ina Garabedian in the right wing corner. Anne-Marie forwards a pass to Ina. Ina spots Jean Roy unmarked
some 10 feet from the left post. Ina makes a hard and precise pass onto Jean’s
stick. He accepts it and sees Sylvain Loyer stretching from his left to his right. But there remains a little opening just inside the left post. Jean Roy fires off a shot that squeezes itself in the small opening and opens the scoring. A good play construction !! FREEZER 1-0 at The second period maintains it’s good tempo right from the get-go. THE EXPRESS are more determined as Victor and Tony redouble their offensive efforts. Jimmy G. is called upon to make more big saves as THE EXPRESS definitely have the edge in the opening
minutes of the second period. FREEZER weathers the storm and increase their lead
8 minutes into the period. Jennifer Jones-Patulli charges into the right wing
corner and comes up with the ball. She spots Manny Tavaroff partially open in
front of Sylvain Loyer. She makes a hard pass that hits on of Manny’s feet
and is rolling towards Loyer. Manny quickly taps the ball with his stick and
the forward progress carries the ball through the legs of Loyer and into the net. A
bang-bang play. Credit Manny’s quickness in being able to touch the ball
with his stickblade after the foot contact. FREEZER 4-0 at EXPRESS = 1 FREEZER 10 = 4 FIRST PERIOD 1) FREEZER = 2) FREEZER = Garabedian (13) [Paquette] 3) FREEZER = SECOND PERIOD 4) FREEZER = Tavaroff (19) [Jones-Patulli] 5) EXPRESS = Chernoff (27) POWERPLAYS

saves/shots against Reggie da Goalie devient Reggie da Player et Freezer règle le cas des Boomerangs... par Régent Proulx le 18 février 2006. Express 6 vs Maniacs 3 Y a rien à faire, nous n'arrivons plus à gagner un match. Vu qu'on avait rien à
perdre, on a mis Matthew Barlow devant le filet et j'ai joué en offensive. Mat était un peu rouillé mais s'est bien
débrouillé dans les circonstances. Sur certains buts, on ne l'a pas aidé, surtout sur celui de Leonard Luedee et sur
2 buts de Victor Chernoff. Mais dans l'ensemble on a mieux joué. J'ai pu scoré un but! (YEAH!). J'aurais
pu en avoir 3 si ce n'était pas du gardien Sylvain Loyer. Ah oui, Evan May a finalement pu scoré son premier but de
la saison! Un gros soulagement pour lui! La semaine prochaine, Mat sera devant le filet contre TnT, et je jouerai
encore en avant. J'aime jouer en avant le mardi. Les gardiens: Sylvain Loyer a reçu 44 tirs contre 38 sur Matthew Barlow des Maniacs. Les meilleurs: Maniacs: Mike Callaghan avec 1 but et 2 passes, ainsi que Jennifer Jones-Patulli
avec 1 passe. Express: Victor Chernoff avec 4 buts et 1 passe, ainsi que Diana Tourneur avec 1 passe. TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette BOOMERANGS [ Tuesday February 14 The fourth meeting between the two teams. The
season series stands at The match begins and FREEZER establishes a good solid tempo with the offensive duo of Ina Garabedian
and Jean Roy. Good ball control brings a long presence in the offensive zone. The BOOMERANGS rely on Pietro Porco and Peggie Lamarche for their offensive output. FREEZER 10 was fully intent in shutting them down.
The two snipers found a tight FREEZER defense and were unable to create scoring chances. Manny Tavaroff, who scored 4 goals in the previous week, continues his scoring touch when he allows FREEZER
to take the lead. The ball was in the central faceoff circle when I was able
to wrestle it away from a BOOMERANGS forward and relay it to Manny only a few feet ahead of me. Manny heads to the right wing high slot and lets go a powerful snap shot which beats Silvaggio just inside
the right post. FREEZER 1-0 at 20:43. For
every shot that the BOOMERANGS take, FREEZER take two. This leads to a game where
FREEZER 10 setup several scoring chances but Mike Silvaggio comes up big and keeps the score at 1-0. FREEZER obtains a powerplay at the 15 minute mark, 5 shots on net gets taken but, once again, Mike Silvaggio
makes every save and allows his team, so far outplayed offensively, to remain in the game.
With about 8 minutes to go in the period, my vote for the prettiest goal of the season occurs. Kate Crosby grabs a loose ball in the FREEZER zone and spots Jean Roy along the right wing wall near the
central point of the gym. Jean spots Ina Garabedian breaking free from her defender
and heading towards the left post. Jean must make a very hard diagonal pass through
a small opening. He makes the pass and it succeeds. Ina receives the pass on the run and heads towards Mike Silvaggio.
She makes a small headfake towards her left, this forces Silvaggio to stay put near the left post, then, suddenly,
Ina breaks to her right while Silvaggio, immobile, now tries to follow her. Ina
takes a low shot along the floor that rolls underneath Silvaggio who tried to lunge towards Ina in order to make the save. The ball rolls to the back of the net. All
of this within a span of 5 seconds top. A great goal !! FREEZER 2-0 at 8:24. About a few minutes later, the BOOMERANGS
obtain their best chance to score when Pietro Porco intercepts a long pass attempt through the high slot by Sylvain Léonard. Pietro takes a few steps forward and fires a quick snapper towards the upper right
corner but gets denied by a terrific glove save from Abby Castonovo. A
key save as this keeps the score 2-0. FREEZER regains the upper hand and Manny
Tavaroff in particular obtains many chances but fails to put anything behind Silvaggio.
As the period ends, FREEZER increases their lead. I find myself in possession
of the ball and I move forward towards the high slot. A shot gets taken and Silvaggio
makes the save but gives up a rebound to his right. Ina Garabedian scoops up
the rebound and fires a shot past the BOOMERANGS goalie. FREEZER 3-0 at 1:05. FREEZER 10 is in control of the game but a quick early goal by the BOOMERANGS and things can get complicated. Manny Tavaroff takes charge in the early goings when he increases the lead. Anne-Marie Parent and Sylvain Léonard exchange passes when Sylvain spots Manny in the left wing high slot. Manny accepts the pass and immediately “pops the bottle” in the upper
left corner with a very hard wrist shot. Silvaggio was down and covering everything
down low. FREEZER 4-0 at 22:12. The
BOOMERANGS try to rally and Angelo D’Agostino pinches in more often in order to help out the forwards. He obtains a few shots on Abby Castonovo but the FREEZER 10 goaltender proves impenetrable. On a few shifts, Peggie and Pietro team-up and the BOOMERANGS obtain more scoring chances but are unable
to find the back of the net. About midway through the period, Sylvain Léonard
is sent forward with a pass and he takes a low shot that beats Silvaggio through the legs.
A rare feat since Silvaggio is tough to beat down low. FREEZER 5-0 at
14:02. Not one minute goes by when Kate Crosby sends a good short pass towards
Manny Tavaroff in the left wing high slot, Manny advances a few more feet in a straight line and fires a hard wrister over
the right shoulder of Mike Silvaggio “popping the bottle” once again. FREEZER
6-0 at 13:25. When a player is hot, you feed that player. With 7 goals scored in the last 91 minutes of play, Manny Tavaroff makes it 8 when he accepts another good
pass from Kate Crosby and takes another hard wrister from the right wing high slot area.
The ball sails above the left shoulder of Silvaggio and the “imaginary bottle” pops up in the air again. Manny is on fire. FREEZER 7-0 at 11:52. The period winds down and Abby is heading for a shutout when the BOOMERANGS finally
put one by him. Angelo D’Agostino is in possession of the ball at the right
point and makes a pass towards Frank Pietrantonio who is some 10 feet from the right post.
Frank takes a shot which is stopped by Abby but a rebound occurs. Peggie
Lamarche jumps on the loose ball and fires a quick low shot where the ball squeezes between Abby’s pads and rolls into
the net. FREEZER 7-1 at 2:18. The

saves/shots against ABBY CASTONOVO (FR) = 21/22 TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette FREEZER 10 [ Mardi 8 février La quatrième rencontre entre les deux équipes. FREEZER
10 mène la série 2-0-1 avec des victoires de 4-2 et 5-4. Le match nul fut de
3-3. Pour ce match, FREEZER 10 voit le retour dans les filets d’Abby Castonovo qui a manqué deux matchs en raison d’une
blessure au genou. FREEZER 10 accueille dans ses rangs Isabelle Allard, elle
va remplacer Karine Malenfant à la position d’avant. Pour TNT, aucun absent,
de plus, Billy Ponting joint les rangs de l’équipe. Wai Jang dans les filets.
TNT possède la pire fiche de la ligue en raison de leur défensive qui accorde
en moyenne 5 buts par match. L’offensive produit 3 buts par match. Ce différentiel de -2 s’avère une montagne à surmonter ces temps-ci. TNT présente une fiche de 1-4 à leurs 5 derniers matchs. FREEZER
10 présente une fiche de 4-0-1 à leurs 5 derniers matchs. La partie débute plutôt mal pour TNT car la balle se retrouve souvent dans leur zone et TNT se crée
plusieurs problèmes en ne pouvant pas déblayer leur territoire. Le duo de Manny
Tavaroff et Isabelle Allard pour FREEZER obtient plusieurs chances de marquer en pratiquant un échec-avant très soutenu. Plusieurs revirements sont portés à l’avantage de FREEZER par ce style de jeu
très aggressif. Jean Roy et Ina Garabedian embarquent à leur tour et procèdent
avec la même intensité. Michel Godin, de TNT, essaie de provoquer des montées
sur l’aile gauche, mais se retrouve trop souvent seul et ne réussit pas à maintenir la balle dans la zone offensive. Un changement de ligne survient et le duo Tavaroff-Allard sont de retour. Une bonne pression sur le filet adverse permet à Tavaroff de prendre possession de la balle devant le gardien
du TNT à environ 5 pieds du filet. Etant sur son revers, Manny decide de prendre
ce tir quand même. Surprise générale lorsque l’arbitre Régent Proulx siffle
pour signifier qu’il y a un but !! Tir précis ou un but “mardeux”
?? Le débat à 110% !!! FREEZER 1-0
à 22:58. Ce but fouette TNT qui commence à établir une certaine presence dans
la zone adverse. Michel Godin et Brian Hazek obtiennent les meilleurs chances
de marquer. Peu de support de la part des défenseurs chez TNT à ce stade-ci de
la rencontre. FREEZER réussit à se défendre et revient avec son échec-avant très
efficace. Wai Jang ferme Au banc de FREEZER, le mot d’ordre est passé, continuer la pression et effectuer beaucoup
de tirs sur Jang car il donne beaucoup de retours. TNT se doit de mieux supporter
leurs avants car à eux seuls, ils n’arrivent pas à soutenir des attaques dans la zone adverse. La deuxième période débute et FREEZER domine dès la mise au jeu.
Une pression à trois joueurs provoque plusieurs revirements et permet à FREEZER de maintenir la balle dans la zone
adverse. La defensive de TNT est tout simplement débordée. Ina Garabedian et Jean Roy unissent leurs efforts derrière le filet adverse et provoque une mauvaise passe
de la part d’un joueur de TNT. Sylvain Léonard intercepte cette passe et
prends un tir des poignets qui se loge très rapidement dans la partie supérieure gauche du filet devant un Wai Jang impuissant. FREEZER 5-1 à 24:23. Moins d’une
minute plus tard, Jean Roy reçoit une passe d’Ina Garabedian dans la “zone privilégiée” et dégaine. Tir rapide et précis. FREEZER 6-1 à 23:30. TNT retrouve ses moyens lorsque Billy Ponting et Brian Hazek effectuent un bon contrôle
de la balle dans la zone offensive. Quelques tirs sont effectués. Abby Castonovo effectue un bel arrêt avec sa jambière droite mais donne un long retour. Ce retour est récupéré par Anne Coyle, elle prend un tir. Abby
effectue l’arrêt mais donne un retour encore une fois. Brian Hazek saute
sur celui-ci et prend un tir des poignets afin de loger la balle au-dessus d’un Abby étendu au sol. FREEZER 6-2 à 20:26. FREEZER ne permet pas à TNT de retrouver
un peu de momentum en marquant environ 2 minutes plus tard. Manny Tavaroff et
moi-même effectuont une série de passes jusqu’au moment où Ina Garabedian se défait de son couvreur. Manny effectue une passe precise dans sa direction, Ina accepte la passé et dégaine rapidement avec un
lancer près du poteau gauche avant que Wai Jang puisse fermer l’angle. Un
beau but. FREEZER 7-2 à 18:53. Les
prochaines 7 minutes sont un peu bizarre car une série de 7 pénalités sont appelées par les arbitres. 3 pour bâton élevé et 2 pour avoir trop de joueurs sur la surface de jeu.
TNT se retrouve soudainement avec un avantage numérique de 3 contre 2. Michel
Godin, Anne Coyle et Alison Traynor pour TNT tandis qu’on retrouve Kate Crosby et Anne-Marie Parent pour FREEZER. Kate effectue un travail remarquable en pourchassant Michel Godin, l’empêchant
de prendre des tirs dans la direction d’Abby. Lorsque Michel devait effectuer
une passe, Anne-Marie s’occupait de neutraliser son adversaire et de dégager le territoire. Ce tandem pour FREEZER a réussi à limiter l’adversaire à seulement 2 tirs au filet pendant 57 secondes.
Ce 3 contre 2 terminé, FREEZER reprend possession de la balle et Manny Tavaroff
compte son quatrième but de la partie. Isabelle Allard prend possession de la
balle sur l’aile droite et avance vers le coin droit, elle refile la balle à Anne-Marie Parent, posté à la pointe droite. Anne-Marie prend un tir qui est stoppé par Wai Jang, mais, encore une fois, un retour
est accordé. Manny prend possession de ce retour et marque un but très facile
dans un filet vide. FREEZER 8-2 à 14:38.
L’issue de la rencontre n’est plus un mystère, la defensive de TNT n’arrive tout simplement pas à
contrer les attaques de FREEZER. Jean Roy augmente le pointage lorsqu’il
ramasse une balle laissée seule devant le filet adverse et déjoue Wai Jang d’un tir précis à l’intérieur du poteau
droit. FREEZER 9-2 à 12:50. FREEZER
se voit subir 2 pénalités dans un intervalle de 54 secondes et TNT se retrouve avec un 4 contre 2. Un bon jeu de passe entre Alison Traynor et Theo Michael étirent la defensive de FREEZER, ce qui libère
entièrement Michel Godin posté à la droite d’Abby Castonovo. Michel prend

TUESDAY LEAGUE POST by Réal Paquette SCREAMING MANIACS [2-7-2] vs FREEZER 10 [7-2-2] Tuesday January 17 The third meeting between the two teams.
FREEZER 10 winning both previous encounters by scores of 4-1 and 6-0. For
this game, FREEZER 10 needed two replacements as Abby Castonovo and Manny Tavaroff were nursing injuries. To replace Abby in nets, Jimmy “The Greek God” Garoufalis makes his Tuesday League debut while
for Manny, Marc Forget comes back for his third game of the season. For the MANIACS,
a full squad is present with Régent Proulx in nets. With the recent addition
of Jennifer Jones-Patulli, the MANIACS receive a boost offensively, but are still in need of one more scorer. FREEZER 10 is riding a hot streak and is looking for a win that would put them in a tie with THE EXPRESS
for top spot in the League. Tom Page and Billy Ponting are the referees. The game begins and the MANIACS start off well.
They establish ball control and go on the offensive. The offensive pairing
of Jennifer and Matthew Barlow create chances when Mike Callaghan is able to give them good solid passes from the point. With Matthew trying to block Jimmy’s vision, Jennifer and Mike buzz around the
FREEZER net. Some shots are taken and The Greek God seems a little nervous as
he is battling the ball and giving up rebounds. FREEZER 10 is spending way too
much time defending and is unable to coordinate attacks. Change of defensive
pairings for the MANIACS brings Greg Phendler into the mix. After an offensive
chance for FREEZER 10 gets easily stopped by Régent, Greg picks up the ball and moves up through the middle. Once near the central line, he fires a hard slapshot which is saved by Jimmy but a rebound occurs. The ball rolls back to the slot and Matthew Barlow is there to collect the loose ball. He fires a low shot which squeezes itself through Jimmy’s pads and starts trickling
towards the redline. Jimmy twists around and attempts to grab the rolling ball
but, somehow, knocks it beyond the redline and into his own net. MANIACS 1-0
at the 3:00 mark. This goal wakes up FREEZER 10.
The offensive duo of Marc Forget and Marie-Josée Blanchet start controlling the play and several offensive chances
are created. Line changes bring the other offensive line of Jean Roy and Ina
Garabedian. More offensive chances. The
MANIACS are back on their heels as FREEZER 10 have taken over. Another complete
change and FREEZER 10 pursues it’s offensive forays. Marc Forget controls
the ball and is returning towards FREEZER 10’s half of the gym. I wait
a few seconds and spot an opening on the right wing. I take off straight ahead
hoping that Marc will see me. He does.
He feeds me a good pass and I take a quick shot on Régent who came out of his net to cut down the angles. I always like to go high on Régent but this shot hit his pads and the rebound came right back at me. Continuing forward and to my right, I see an opening, of about 1 feet, between Régent
and the right post. I fire the ball high into the far left corner and the game
is now tied. 1-1 at 8:00 mark. As
the opening goal by the MANIACS brought about an increase in the level of play for FREEZER 10, so does this goal now provides
the same impetus for the MANIACS. The MANIACS elevate their play and Greg Phendler
goes on several offensive forays. Several pointshots test Jimmy G. but the FREEZER
10 goaltender stops them all. Evan May picks up a 2 minute penalty for contact
and FREEZER 10 goes on the powerplay. The MANIACS are defending a FREEZER 10
attack when a turnover occurs. Greg Phendler corrals a loose ball and two FREEZER
10 forwards are caught deep. Anne-Marie Parent attempts a pokecheck near the
central line against Greg but he is able to sidestep it and moves beyond the FREZER 10 defender. Sylvain Léonard breaks off from his left point position and is heading towards the incoming Greg who winds
up and fires the ball from a good 20 feet, up and over the left glovehand of Jimmy G. directly into the upper right corner. Nice shot Greg. Shorthanded goal. MANIACS 2-1 at the 11:00 mark. This
creates another situation where the team just scored upon renews it’s intensity and elevates it’s play. FREEZER 10 send the Forget-Blanchet duo and they are able to control the play deep into the MANIACS’
end. Several pointshots are taken as well.
Régent is stopping everything but witnesses his team being unable to generate anything offensively as 45 seconds of
a 60 second shift are spent in the defensive zone. Lines get changed and FREEZER
10 continue their offensive control. Sylvain Léonard picks up a loose ball in
the FREEZER 10 zone and moves up on the right wing. He quickly spots Ina Garabedian
well placed near the left post some 5 feet away from Régent. With an unobstructed
passing lane presenting itself between himself and Ina, Sylvain fires a hard diagonal pass towards Ina. Smoothly and deftly, Ina redirects the pass through the open legs of Régent as he was moving from his left
to right. Ina scores her League leading 9th goal of the season. It is now a 2-2 tie at the 15:00 mark. The
MANIACS retake the initiative in less than a minute when Greg Phendler, creates his own scoring chance by moving up with the
ball, unimpeded until the central redline and fires a hard slapshot towards Jimmy G.
Jimmy catches the ball, but, somehow, the ball pops out of the webbing and continues on it’s way into the upper
right corner. MANIACS 3-2 at the 16:00 mark.
Jimmy gets tested again when Matthew Barlow is able to grab a rebound in the low slot but gets robbed by Jimmy with
a sprawling pad save. Régent Proulx meanwhile stops Jean Roy on several attempts
by cutting down the angles and forcing opposing players into taking poor percentage shots.
The first period ends with the MANIACS enjoying a 3-2 lead. The second period begins with a terrific save by Régent Proulx. Jean Roy and Ina Garabedian play give-and-go behind the MANIACS’ net when I see an opening in the
low slot from my left point position. I move in at full speed and Jean spots
my arrival. He gives me a great pass, à la Gretzky, and I fire a one-timer towards
Régent. The shot is low and towards the right post. As I know that Régent always plays me for the high shot, I am expecting a goal. But no !!! Régent kept his left glovehand low and grabs the
ball. Rats !! Super save Reggie
as I lift my head towards the Heavens. FREEZER 10 though keeps putting on the
pressure and I obtain another scoring chance when Marie-Josée Blanchet gives me a pass from the right corner, I take a shot
and the save gets made but the ball rolls towards the MANIACS’ bench. I
arrive first at the ball and make a hard backhanded pass towards the front of the net.
The ball bounces off Régent’s pads and ends up directly on the stick of Marie-Josée. She quickly gets off a hard wrist shot that goes over Régent left shoulder and into the net. Bravo M-J !!! The game is now tied at 3-3 at the 30:00 mark. This time, the MANIACS seem unable to find their legs as their offensive chances diminish. It is the opposite for FREEZER 10 as they are now able to setup ball control in the
MANIACS’ zone and maintain possession for upto 45 seconds of a 60 second shift.
Not too many shots get taken though. 5 minutes tick by when FREEZER 10
move ahead for good. Ina Garabedian establishes control on the left wing and
moves up. She spots Jean Roy uncovered near the high slot on the right. A good side-to-side pass gets done and Jean Roy starts moving in on Régent towards
the right post. A MANIACS’ defender attempts to cut off Jean but he is
able to shake off the opposing player and cut back left, a few feet from the net. Régent
has gone down and is sprawled low to cover anything along the floor. Jean spots
this and with only a second or two to make up his mind, he flips the ball high and over the opposing goalie into the net. Nice move and nice goal. FREEZER 4-3 at the 36:00 mark. Lines change and
FREEZER 10 win the faceoff. Marc Forget draws back the ball to a defender and
attacks the zone while the ball gets sent into the far left corner. Marc is first
to recover the ball and he’s moving towards the net when he spots Marie-Josée Blanchet uncovered in the low slot. Marc is able to make a pass through legs and sticks to M-J who one-times the pass
over Régent’s left shoulder again and into the net. Bella !! FREEZER 5-3 at the 37:00 mark. The MANIACS finally show some
hustle and Mike Callaghan organizes an attack. He makes a good pass towards Jennifer
Jones-Patulli on the left wing. She accepts the pass but encounters one Anne-Marie
Parent. This FREEZER 10 defender is very tenacious and finds a way to block opposing
players from reaching the net. Jennifer tried several deke moves but could not
get by Anne-Marie who kept putting her stick in the way, just like Kate Crosby does.
Jennifer attempts a shot but it goes wide and ends up in the far right corner.
Anne-Marie pursues and forces a turnover over there and comes back to the bench for a well earned rest. Offensive chances are few and far between for the MANIACS now as neither Greg Phendler or Mike Callaghan
are able to generate much as they are checked with more efficiency by FREEZER 10 forwards.
Some close calls do occur, especially one with about 8 minutes to go, when Jimmy G. makes two consecutive saves and
the FREEZER 10 defense is unable to clear rebounds as those clearing attempts kept hitting the legs of opposing forwards. Time is winding down when FREEZER 10 increases it’s lead. Sylvain Léonard picks up a loose ball behind the FREEZER net, moves up on the right side and spots Marc
Forget on the left side some 10 feet away from the net. The pass is made and
accepted. Marc either takes a shot or attempts a pass, it wasn’t clear,
and , somehow, the ball ends up on the stick of Marie-Josée Blanchet in the low slot.
M-J completes the hat trick with another high wrister. Bravo M-J !! FREEZER 6-3 at the 46:00 mark. This
goal takes away any hopes for the MANIACS of making a comeback. The final minutes
go by without any serious chances for either team. SCREAMING MANIACS = 3 FREEZER 10 = 6 FIRST PERIOD 1) MANIACS

TUESDAY
LEAGUE POST-GAME REPORT by Réal Paquette TUESDAY DECEMBER 6 FREEZER
10 [5-2-2] 2
vs EXPRESS [7-1-1] 1 The third
meeting between the two teams this season. EXPRESS winning the first encounter
4-3 while FREEZER 10 winning the second meet 3-1. A full lineup for FREEZER 10
and a return of Marie-Josée Blanchet to
the team at the forward position. The EXPRESS short one
player, Carine Contreras missing in the lineup. The EXPRESS, with the absence
of CC, presented two threats up front, Victor Chernoff and Tony Ricciardi. Both
are skilled ballhandlers. Victor possesses a nasty wrist shot while Tony fires
a wicked slapshot. Tony uses physical play to create room for him so that he
can unload his heavy shot. Victor will use more dekes and finesse play to create
his offensive chances. It would be a very busy game for Sylvain Léonard and myself
who would be facing these two forwards. The trick would be to limit their chances
by playing them with a “in your face” style of play, which means that no room must be given that would allow them
to maneuver into better scoring chances. Amongst the remainder of the EXPRESS
players, Leonard Luedee, on defense, would gather special attention as he does possess a hard slapshot when he has the time
to use it. Accuracy though is a problem.
The rest of the EXPRESS squad features players who are defensively sound which allows the big three (Chernoff, Ricciardi
& Luedee) to go full-out on offense. The match begins
and most of the play, as expected, is spent in the neutral zone. With FREEZER
10 rated #1 in goals allowed [23] and EXPRESS rated #2 with [24], it becomes quite clear that both teams excel in limiting
scoring chances and offensive rebound recoveries. FREEZER 10 find themselves
unable to make passes into the high slot as there is always Nick Kohner or Valerie Frost taking away that area with the help
of one of the forwards. The EXPRESS were doing a wonderful job of preventing
any shots from the slot. Everything was pushed to the outside, giving Sylvain
Loyer, the EXPRESS’ goaltender, a relatively easy time making saves while
limiting rebounds to a bare minimum. In the other zone of play, FREEZER 10 allowed
a few chances from the slot as Victor was able to maneuver with nice dekes into prime shooting locations but Abby Castonovo,
the FREEZER 10 goaltender, stopped him cold everytime. The EXPRESS though were
able to generate better scoring chances down low due to a higher pass completion rating in the slot area. The FREEZER 10 defense was bending but not breaking in the early going. FREEZER 10 finally get some
offensive chances when Nick Kohner goes off for a tripping penalty at the 9 minute mark of the period. Manny Tavaroff and Marie-Josée Blanchet spend most of the 2 minutes on the floor during the powerplay and
create several opportunities. Manny finds himself alone, 5 feet away from Sylvain
Loyer but is unable to find an opening as the EXPRESS goalie was filling most of the net with his “butterfly”
style. The other offensive line of Ina Garabedian and Jean Roy were unable to
generate much offense as the EXPRESS defenders were preventing side-to-side passes between the two. Very few pointshots, if at all, during this powerplay as FREEZER 10 were unable to setup the “defensemen”
with scoring opportunities. So the chess game continues as both defenses reestablish
their dominance. A playoff like atmosphere as both sides realize that scoring
the first goal becomes “oh so critical” . Not many shots are getting
through but the EXPRESS do have an edge in territorial play as Victor and Tony run a lot but are kept on the outside for most
of their shifts. At the 16 minute mark, Sylvain Léonard and Tony Ricciardi get
into a tussle in front of the FREEZER 10 bench. With neither player budging,
referee Tom Page yells out his now famous “YOU and YOU, to the box !!!”
Both players get 2 minutes for roughing. About 4 minutes later, the EXPRESS
open the scoring from the result of a bad clear by Sylvain Léonard. Possessing
the ball near the far wall, in the corner, Sylvain attempts a diagonal clearing play through the middle so that the ball would
end up on the right wing position deep in the EXPRESS zone. The attempt gets
intercepted by Leonard Luedee at the faceoff circle. Leonard moves in a few feet
and unloads a heavy slapshot which is stopped by Abby Castonovo. A rebound occurs
and Tony Ricciardi picks up the loose ball and fires a shot towards the net, Abby makes another save but sees the ball bounce
off him and into the air to his left. Tony bullies his way to the ball and bats
it in in front of a helpless Abby. EXPRESS
1-0. The all-important first goal is scored.
FREEZER 10 comes back with a good offensive shift from Manny and Marie-Josée but fail to light up the redlight as Sylvain
Loyer is way too confident in his net, covering every angle and smothering rebounds with great ease. The first period ends. During the
break, FREEZER 10 regroups and Sylvain Léonard gives a pep-talk in order for the team to refocus their energies towards the
offensive part of the game. The second period begins and FREEZER 10 do get off
to a good start, as scoring chances start adding up, the slot area, so well defended by the EXPRESS in the first period, is
now showing open areas for infiltration. Slowly, FREEZER 10 are able to slip
one player in that area and get off a good shot but Sylvain Loyer is unbeatable so far.
As for the EXPRESS, Tony Ricciardi is pretty much kept off the shooting list as he finds himself pursued leaving Victor
Chernoff with the better offensive chances while Alicia Cafferata is more active in the offensive zone for the EXPRESS and
is starting to become a problem. After a conversation
at the FREEZER 10 bench, Ina Garabedian goes on the floor with renewed determination and becomes an integral part of the first
goal scored by FREEZER 10. The play begins deep in the FREEZER 10 zone when Sylvain
Léonard makes an outlet pass to Jean Roy. A give-and-go occurs and Sylvain regains
possession of the ball. A quick pass to the left wing allows Ina to gain possession
and move forward a little bit. Spotting an opening for a side-to-side pass, Ina
fires off a good pass to a moving Jean Roy in the high slot area. Jean receives
the ball and starts moving to his right, the ball on his backhand. Jean notices
that Sylvain Loyer is moving off the left post in order to follow this movement. With
two players in between Jean Roy and Sylvain Loyer, a possible screen shot presents itself.
Jean moves a little more to his right and with a quick flick of the wrists fires off a hard backhand shot from 12 feet. The ball moves towards the upper left portion of the net and finds netting. A good decision by Jean Roy. SCORE TIED 1-1. Nine minutes to go now in the game. FREEZER 10 now have momentum. The EXPRESS throw a scare
when Leonard Luedee fires a hard slapshot from the central faceoff area and hits the left post dead-on. Luckily, the ball heads for the corner and away from incoming EXPRESS forwards. Abby was beaten on the shot but the “friendly post” is always the goalie’s best friend. With about 5 minutes to go in the game, Anne-Marie Parent, of FREEZER 10, takes a
2 minute penalty for tripping. She got entangled with an opposing player, sticks
got jammed and the opposing player fell to the floor. The EXPRESS now found themselves
with an excellent opportunity to grab the victory with a powerplay goal. But
Manny Tavaroff had other ideas. A superb display of penalty killing skills was
presented by Manny as he wasted about 60 seconds, all by himself, moving from one offensive zone corner to the other while
being hounded by EXPRESS players. Manny would not give up the ball and could
have tried two possible wraparound chances but preferred to retain possession of the ball and kill off more time. Not one shot on goal gets taken by the EXPRESS during this powerplay chance. With 2 minutes to go FREEZER 10 call a timeout when they regained possession of the ball after a save from
Abby. Manny, Marie-Josée, Anne-Marie and Sylvain round out the four musketeers
for this shift. 2:00 FREEZER 10 start out from
behind their net and make a good first pass. Play develops towards the EXPRESS’
end. 1:30 Turnover in the
offensive zone by FREEZER 10 allows Victor Chernoff to move in on the right side and fire off a wrist shot towards Abby. The save is made and a rebound is scooped up by Sylvain Léonard. 1:15 Sylvain fires the
ball towards the deep right wing corner where Marie-Josée Blanchet is located. Marie-Josée
finds herself in a battle with one EXPRESS defender. 1:05 Marie-Josée wins
the battle for the ball and spots Manny Tavaroff alone in the high slot. She
makes a hard and very precise pass towards Manny. 1:00 Manny fires off
a one-timer upon reception of the pass. The shot stays low and is heading towards
the left post. Sylvain Loyer, guarding the left side of the net during the melee
in the corner between Marie-Josée and one of his players, is unable to fully reposition himself and, thusly, allows an opening
just inside the left post, exactly where Manny’s shot is heading. 0:58 The ball
enters the net to the delight of the FREEZER 10 bench and of the four players currently on the floor. FREEZER 10 2-1 0:58 to
0:00 The final minute
sees the EXPRESS unable to pull their goalie out for a fifth attacker as FREEZER 10 does a great job of keeping the ball deep
in their zone and not allowing a breakout pass. STATS FREEZER

LEAGUE POST-GAME REPORT by REAL PAQUETTE TUESDAY NOVEMBER 29 FREEZER
10 6 vs SCREAMING MANIACS 0 The second
meeting between the two teams this season. FREEZER 10 having won the first meet
4-1. A full lineup for FREEZER 10 and a return, after a 2 game absence , for
Jean Roy at forward. The MANIACS short one player. Assessing the lineup of the MANIACS, it was pretty clear that stopping Mike Callaghan was top priority. With his booming pointshots and good accuracy, Mike Callaghan is the key to the MANIACS’
offense. If he does not score, then he forces opposing goaltenders in giving
up big rebounds, it then becomes the job of the MANIACS’ forwards to fight for possession of those rebounds and attempt
to score from in close. For the
first 20 minutes of the opening period, a very tight defensive game develops. FREEZER
10’s first forward line of Ina Garabedian and Jean Roy are able to make good passing plays between themselves and to
the supporting “defensemen”, but every shot is either stopped by Régent Proulx with few rebounds or sails wide
of the net by a few feet as the MANIACS’ defenders were blocking a lot of the shooting lanes, especially Greg Phendler
and Mike Callaghan. The only offensive chances for the MANIACS was when Mike
Callaghan was able to shrug off pursuers and put the ball in play near the FREEZER 10 net.
A very good job of not allowing Mike Callaghan to shoot from the point was performed by every forward on the FREEZER
10 lineup (Roy, Tavaroff, Garabedian & Malenfant). This very good coverage
allowed the FREEZER 10 “defensemen” to reduce scoring chances and shots on Abby Castonovo to a minimum. FREEZER 10 opens the
scoring with just under 5 minutes to go in the opening period when Jean Roy scoops up a loose ball in the right corner of
the gym, to the left of Régent Proulx, and spots me, alone in the slot waiting for a hard pass. Jean Roy produces that hard pass right on the stick and a strong one-timer is taken. The quality and quickness of the pass and the one-timer prevents Régent Proulx from advancing outward from
his net to cut the angle down. Unable to do so, the one-timer finds the top left
corner. FREEZER 10 1-0. Play resumes and FREEZER 10 continues to
spend more time in the offensive zone. Manny Tavaroff and Karine Malenfant both
have one good chance on net but Régent Proulx denies each opportunity. Line changes
occur and Ina Garabedian corrals a loose ball in the slot and spots Jean Roy moving in from the left side. A quality pass freezes two MANIACS’ defenders and allows Jean Roy to move in unopposed upon Régent. A superb deke results in a second goal. The
initial move sees Jean Roy moving to his right, on the backhand, Régent follows and starts stretching to his left. Suddenly, Jean stops and goes on the forehand to his left. Régent
is unable to come to a sudden halt and falls to the floor, still covering the lower part of the net but now immobile. Jean Roy moves a little more to his left and buries the ball into an open net. A very nice out-in deke. FREEZER 10 2-0. The
first period ends two minutes later with no change on the scoreboard. The second
period brings a change of philosophy for the SCREAMING MANIACS. Mike Callaghan
moves from defense to forward as the MANIACS realize that there is not enough firepower upfront to rattle the FREEZER 10 defense
(Léonard , Paquette, Crosby & Parent) who are doing a good job so far. The
period begins and the hot line of Garabedian and Roy are at it again. The forward
duo keeps the ball deep and receive timely pinches from the D for continued ball control.
Finally, it pays off when Jean Roy notches his second goal of the game when he is able to scoop up a rebound and fire
off a shot which hits Régent on the chest, pops up and over his head, lands behind him and rolls into the net. Greg Phendler was a second too late to prevent the ball from rolling across the red line as referee Billy
Ponting confirms the goal. A lucky goal but FREEZER 10 will take it. FREEZER 10 3-0. The MANIACS rebound from this with their best offensive sequence as Greg
Phendler is able to take several shots from the point while Mike Callaghan and Stephanie Jowett combine down low to pepper
Abby Castonovo with numerous shots. Fortunately for FREEZER 10, Abby repulses
every shot while Anne-Marie Parent does a very good job of breaking up passing lanes and clearing rebounds. Having weathered this storm, FREEZER 10 regains territorial advantage and with about 17 minutes to go in
the game, Ina Garabedian is rewarded for her persistence with a goal. A mad scramble
results in front of Régent Proulx and the ball finds itself at Régent’s feet.
Ina moves in and is able to prevent Régent from grabbing the ball with his glove.
Régent is down on his knees when Ina takes a shot but fails to lift the ball.
Régent makes the save but allows a rebound. Ina grabs the rebound and
this time, with a hard flick of her wrists, is able to shoot over the left pad of Régent into the net. Second effort at it’s best. FREEZER 10 4-0. This goal deflates
the MANIACS and Abby Castonovo sees less and less shots as the MANIACS’ offense goes silent. FREEZER 10 find themselves shorthanded when Ina Garabedian picks up her second penalty of the season. With 8 seconds to go in the penalty, Jean Roy completes the hat trick on a beautiful
setup by Kate Crosby. With the ball situated at the red faceoff line, Kate nullifies
a MANIACS’ forward progress, grabs the loose ball, goes on the offensive, takes a shot, heads to the back of Régent’s
net for the rebound, spots Jean Roy 5 feet in front of the net, makes a hard and precise pass to Jean who roofs the ball into
the left corner. A very nice shorthanded goal.
FREEZER 10 5-0. Clockwatching becomes the order of the day as the game nears it’s end. FREEZER 10 continues to obtain several chances. Manny Tavaroff
is sent all alone on Régent Proulx but fails to score when Régent is able to outwait Manny and force him to make the first
move. With about 3 minutes to go in the game, the “hot line” of Ina
and Jean strikes again when Ina is able to make a good side-to-side pass to an open Jean, on Régent’s own right side,
who fires a low shot inside the left post past Régent for his fourth goal of the game.
FREEZER 10 6-0. With less than a minute to go in the game, the MANIACS obtain their best chance to break Abby’s
shutout when Mike Callaghan grabs a rebound and finds Abby sprawled on the floor, covering the whole bottom of the net. Mike takes a hard wrist shot from a distance of about 10 feet but is totally robbed
when Abby makes a beautiful glove save to preserve the shutout…. STATS FREEZER 10 JEAN

des Maniacs: Est ce que l'ajout de Jennifer Jones-Patulli va aider notre attaque? Je l'espère car rien ne va plus pour nous!
Nous comptons moins de 3 buts par partie, et on se fait battre beaucoup trop facilement. Depuis notre nulle contre l'Express,
on s'est fait battre, 6-1, 6-3, et 6-0!! Oui, il est possible que je connaisse un relâchement. Quand une équipe
ne gagne pas, tout le monde s'en ressent et le 2ème effort se fait plus difficilement. D'autant plus difficile pour
moi car si je donne plus de 2 buts, nous risquons de perdre la partie...c'est de la pression ça!! Mais on verra bien
avec l'ajout de Jen. Ça va nous donner un p'tit boost d'ici le congé des fêtes, et je vais essayer de mieux performer. Boomerangs 7 vs
TnT 5 par Régent Proulx Et merde, je n'ai pas
été capable de scorer. J'ai eu mes chances, mais ça ne voulait pas. Il n'en manquait pas gros pourtant!
2 poteaux, des tirs qui ont semblés déjouer Mike Silvaggio, mais il a fait les arrêts, même si parfois il n'était pas certain.
Dommage pour TnT, la partie était serrée. Mais le gardien Wai Jang n'a pas connu sa meilleure soirée sur quelques buts,
et sur d'autres c'était notre défensive. Parfois, il fallait qu'un joueur offensif vienne aider la défense, ce qui parfois
n'a pas été fait. Je suis content que Theo Michael a pu scorer sur un tir de punition, alors que Mike Silvaggio aurait
lancé son bâton. Oui content car quelques secondes plutôt, sur un retour de lancer, j'avais un but désert devant moi,
mais le maudit Angelo d'Agostino a bloqué mon bâton et je ne pouvais pas toucher à la balle! Si je pouvais trouver le
moyen de mieux me démarquer, j'aiderais plus l'équipe avec qui je joue comme substitut. Dans l'ensemble, TnT n'a pas
lâché, mais un relâchement vers la fin a coûté la partie. Les gardiens: Wai Jang
a reçu 29 tirs contre 34 sur Mike Silvaggio du Boomerangs. Les meilleurs: Boomerangs:
Pietro Porco avec 3 buts et 1 passe ainsi que Joyce Turner avec 1 but et 2 passes. TnT: Theo Michael et Brian Hazek
avec 1 but et 1 passe, ainsi que Véronique Nault et Anne Coyle avec 1 but et 1 passe. TUESDAY
LEAGUE POST-GAME REPORT by REAL PAQUETTE le 23
novembre 2005 BOOMERANGS vs FREEZER 10 The second meeting between the two teams. The first encounter proved beneficial
to the Boomerangs as they won 4-2. Mike Silvaggio, goaltender for the Boomerangs,
played a fantastic in that 4-2 win by frustrating several Freezer 10 players with close range chances. This time around though, the intent, from Freezer 10’s point of view, was to test him from long range
and go high on all shots. If there is one weakness in Silvaggio’s style,
is his tendency to go down early and giving you the top portion of the net. This
style proves beneficial if the defensive play in front of you is quick enough to prevent opposing shooters the time to set
and aim their shots. When it is not, problems can certainly present themselves. Giving Freezer 10 a pep talk before the game, Sylvain Léonard, captain of the team, gave a few more pointers about
the play of the opposing goalie. The pep talk certainly worked on the first shift
when Manny Tavaroff took a slap shot from long range and beat the Boomerangs’ goalie inside the right post. Mike Silvaggio did not react to the shot as he was unable
to see it due to two players screening him. Freezer 10 takes the early lead and
pounds the Boomerangs’ D with several set-ups. Mostly from the forwards as the Freezer 10 defense held back from offensive pinches during the early part
of the 1st period. The duo of
Manny Tavaroff and Ina Garabedian provided plenty of scoring chances but the good goaltending of Mike Silvaggio kept
denying Freezer 10 from increasing the lead. The Boomerangs were not able to
create many offensive chances early in the 1st period as they were defending more than attacking. Régent Proulx provided most of the offensive chances in the
first period as his various dekes were successful on several Freezer 10 players. To
the great dismay of Manny Tavaroff for one J. The Boomerangs eventually retake some control of the game and the duo of Peggie Lamarche and Frank Pietrantonio start
dominating down low. With only seconds left in the 1st period, Frank
Pietrantonio claims a rebound given up by Abby Castonovo and fires a shot just inside the left post into the net. 1-1 at halftime. Both
teams go on the offensive early in the second period. The room to maneuver that
allowed Freezer 10 to set up good offensive chances is now suddenly gone. Pressed
by incoming defenders, several shots by Freezer 10 miss the mark or end up on the chest plate of the Boomerangs’ goaltender. Angelo D’Agostino, defenseman for the Boomerangs, is directly responsible for
the second goal of that team by continuing to rush up the surface of play from his own net.
One instance proves beneficial when he was able to move halfway up the floor and unload a shot inside the left post. Freezer 10 reclaims some momentum when a good offensive sequence initiated by Ina
and Manny results in a big rebound given up in the slot. Sylvain Léonard picks
it up and buries the shot in the top left corner. The Boomerangs regroup and reclaim the offensive chances when they are able to reestablish their dominance down low. Régent Proulx scores the go-ahead goal when the ball bounces off a Freezer 10 player,
right onto his stick. Régent fires off a low shot inside the right post and beats
Abby Castonovo. (note from Régent: it was a deke!) Both
teams exchange several chances but Freezer 10 seems unable to capitalize on their chances.
The Boomerangs increase their lead to 4-2 when Peggie Lamarche scoops up a loose rebound to the left of Abby Castonovo
and fires the ball into an empty net. With a little more than 4 minutes to go
in the game, Freezer 10 calls it’s timeout to formulate a late plan. The
comeback begins when Manny Tavaroff, controlling the play in the corner to the left of the Boomerangs goalie, spots Anne-Marie
Parent at the right point. The pass is made and Anne-Marie quickly spots Ina
Garabedian standing alone near the left post. A hard pass is made by Anne-Marie
directly towards Ina without any interception by opposing Boomerangs players. Ina
Garabedian deftly redirects the pass up into the left corner of the net in front of a helpless Mike Silvaggio. With just over 1 minute left to play, Freezer 10 storms the Boomerangs’ D and Marc Forget, forward
with Freezer 10, grabs a loose ball in the left corner of the gym, fights off a Boomerangs D, moves alongside the backwall
and ends up near the right post. Marc Forget tries a wraparound move, Mike Silvaggio
makes the save but gives up a rebound which is scooped up by Yours Truly and bangs the ball home underneath a falling goalie. The final seconds does not provide any clear offensive chances and the game ends in
a 4-4 tie. No penalties were called during the game. Les gardiens:
Abby Castonovo a reçu 27 tirs contre 39 sur Mike Silvaggio du Boomerangs. Les meilleurs: Boomerangs: Peggie
Lamarche avec 1 but et 1 passe, et Frank Pietrantonio avec 1 but, mention à Mike Silvaggio pour son excellente prestation
devant le filet. Freezer: Ina Garabedian avec 1 but et 1 passe et Réal Paquette avec 1 but (le but égalisateur). Express 6 vs Maniacs
1 par Régent Proulx,
le 24 novembre 2005. Nous sommes d'accord que nous n'avons
pas bien joué, moi inclus. Oui j'étais fatigué, d'avoir joué pour Boomerangs comme joueur. Plusieurs buts de l'Express,
j'ai été une fraction de seconde en retard. J'ai fait quelques bons arrêts, mais par 2 fois, Victor Chernoff de l'Express
a compté sur son propre retour, alors que j'étais tout près de les arrêter ses retours! Les Maniacs ont vraiment des
problèmes offensivement. Mike Callaghan fait ce qu'il peut. Greg Phendler a un bon lancer, mais il n'est pas un
joueur offensif. Nos autres joueurs (Evan, Mat, Joyce) ont parfois de bonnes chances de marquer, mais il y a des soirs
où ça ne veut pas du tout. (je ne compte pas les autres remplaçants mais eux aussi ont bien joué dans les circonstance, merci
à Ina et Véro). Nous devrions avoir du renfort à ce que j'ai entendu parler. Est ce que ça va nous aider grandement
offensivement? Nous verrons bien, mais il faut que ce joueur soit là le plus souvent possible!! Mais je sais que
nous sommes capable de faire mieux. La victoire va finir par revenir, et elle sera très satisfaisante. On l'a
fait au début de la saison avec 2 blanchissages consécutifs. Nous avions joué tellement bien défensivement, et scorant
au bon moment. Alors je ne désespère pas. Ah oui, pour l'Express, à part 2
buts dont j'aurais dû arrêter (Leonard et Tony), le reste, VOUS AVEZ DE LA CHANCE QUI VOUS COLLE AU DERRIÈRE BATARD!!! Les gardiens: Sylvain Loyer a reçu
27 tirs contre 33 sur Régent Proulx des Maniacs. Les meilleurs: Maniacs: Greg Phendler
avec 1 but et Véronique Nault avec plusieurs bonnes chances de marquer. Express: Tony Ricciardi avec 3 buts, Leonard
Luedee avec 1 but et 2 passes et Victor Chernoff avec 2 buts et 1 passe, ainsi que Kate Crosby avec 2 passes.
