When the game is tied late in the game, teams always look to their leaders to step up and make a difference. Well, 3L Reid Kashmanian, the man with the "C," stepped up for the boys tonight with a late goal to propel the SUCOL Hockey team to a 4-3 win over the Jagr Bombs. The game-winner came on a broken play where Reid put on the burners, poked the puck around a defender, and then deked the aggressive Jagr Bombs goaltender before depositing the puck into the empty net. "I don't think I've skated that fast since '06," said Kashmanian after the game. "It must've been that extra anger after watching the Bills suck again yesterday."
The team then hung on for dear life with some key stops by 3L tendy Danny Neer and some team defense led by the physical play of the Loch Ness Pronster, and 1L's Andrew "Stew" Stewart and Wes "Wes" Gerrie. Stew's play was especially noticeable as he seemed to be more aggressive towards the end of the game. "If that game went into OT I was going to be pissed. I can't miss a second of the Pats game," said Stew as he ran out of the arena with his skates still on.
Everyone looked great tonight and definitely showed some improvement from last week. A huge difference in the team's performance this week was due to the season debut of 3L Caleb Merrill and the career debut of former prep school all-star and Crossfit aficionado Joe Gattuso. This allowed out-of-shape 2L's Dan Greene and Joey Amelia to tally a gino each. Joey credited his excellent performance this evening to the extra syrup and poutine he ate before the game.
But most importantly... THERE WAS A GIRL IN THE STANDS TONIGHT! No one would say if they knew her, but odds are that she showed up for our #MCM Mikey Bryant. Here's some footage:
