Dan Greene's Brilliance Propels Justice to Semifinals

There are games that you watch and forget about an hour after they are played. Then there are those that you will remember for ages. Tonight was the latter, and Dan Greene was the first, second, and third star of the game as his "Wildcat" positioning completely baffled the entire Zeebs roster and coaching staff. Greene was mostly quiet on the chirping front, but chose to lead the charge with his play out on the ice. Danny G recorded a hatty with three highlight goals, leaving everybody (including the refs) starstruck out there. What made the performance by Dan even better than the stats indicate was the Kane-like cellys after his goals. After looking in the mirror, we got a quote from Captain Reid Kashmanian on Greene's performance out there. "Man, that guy fuckin played with heart out there. Seriously. Kid just went off out there and made the Zeebs his bitch. His compete level was higher than I've ever seen. Playoff hockey is when you want your best players to take over the game. He did just that. That being said, a part of me thinks he just wanted to show off for his fans at the game."

The fans being referenced are 2L's Alexandra Martinez and Selbie Jason. This was the first time in Justice history that fans from all three years were in attendance to support the team. We asked #JoeyEh about how the fans impacted the outcome during the post-game press conference. His thoughts, "They cheered their hearts out ya know. Thought I heard someone grab a cowbell too eh. Probably is what got Danny G to rev his wheels and put the biscuit in the basket as often as he did eh." They weren't the only diehard fans in the stands though. The 3L fans (being referred to as the "Daddy's Girls") and the 1L fans (being referred to as "fuckin 1L's") cheered on their favorite team as well.

As for the stat sheet, Justice prevailed by a score of 8-2. It was a dominating performance from all 13 players out there. The depth up front wore down the Zeebs defense while Dan Neer had another stellar performance in net. Before the game, Neer was spotted throwing away his neckguard. We asked him why he was just throwing away a piece of goalie equipment, "Don't fucking need it. You see this beard? Yeah, that's all the protection I need. Only protection I need in life anywhere is hair." Neer went on about protection and not needing it in any situation. Honestly, it got a little inappropriate, hence that part of the quote is not in the recap. That being said, his stacked-pad save at the beginning of the second half demoralized the Zeebs as they never really had sustained offense throughout the game.

Danny G led the way with three goals while Tomas Fleischmann, Will Doerr, Pete Pappysomething, Joe "CrossFit" Gattuso, and Captain Reid Kashmanian also found the back of the net. No, that was not a typo. The captain did in fact score, bringing his shooting percentage from the last 3 games up from 0.0% to 0.4%. After his goal, Kashmanian went on to hit the post 2 times and miss on another breakaway to drop his shooting percentage to an embarrassing 0.18%.

With the win, Justice moves onto the Semifinals to play Team Iceland at 8pm on Monday, November 17th. There will be a lot of tension in the rink, with some of it possibly being sexual. Come out and support your favorite team.
