FLYERS 6 SHARKS 2
Oh my! Don’t look now – but the perennial punching bag of the league this season – the Flyers – win their first game of the season in game 13! Goalie Billy Papciak with a strong game between the pipes! Mike “Padre” Napela leads the assault with a two goal game. Singles for Robbie Olmstead, Trevor Wrobel and subs young Bayagich and Egrin. Things were looking pretty bleak in the first period for these Flyers, when Steve Lemieux cleanly wins the face-off in his zone and sees the puck hits teammate goalie Billy Papciak’s stick, then his blocker and then his stick again and ends up in his own net! Lol! Anthony Amato and Richie Artymovich score for the Fish. As Flyers Captain Trevor Wrobel was exiting the ice at games end, NHL Network Hockey Analyst Jackie Redmond(See Picture Below) requested a quick interview to get Trevor’s insight on the Flyers first win of the season!
BRUINS 3 HABS 2
The Bruins open up a 3-0 first period lead and hold on for the W! Sub puck stopper E. Miller shined in nets! Jeff Steiber and “Downtown” Jimmy Brown score 15 seconds apart for the Bruins! Rob “The Full Monty” Montgomery with the game winner. Paul Elsey Jr. and Jamie Smith score for the Habs.
WINGS 5 HAWKS 2
The Wings play a great game as they upend the Hawks! Youngster Dar with a great game in nets! The turning point of this game was when the Hawks Pierre Dugas(Tripping) and Billy Reiss(Solo Roughing) incur minor penalties at the same time late in the final period! The Wings ice the game scoring twice during this time frame. Wings sub Chris Robillard with the trick! Ian Axworthy with the deuce. Fellow sub Joe Robillard with the Wings final goal. Ironically – Mike Garlick and sub Behnke score power play goals for the Hawks.
HABS 7 HAWKS 6
This was a shootout at the OK Corral! Actor Brian Dennehy lookalike(See Picture Below) Jamie Smith with the tour du chapeau for the Habs. Singles for Jim Roble(SH), Paul Elsey Jr.. and Steve Bayagich. Hawks sub Behnke with a two goal game. Steve Wink, Brian Moore and the Mikes – T. Brown and Garlick also score for the Hawks, as they now have a three game losing streak.
BRUINS 4 SHARKS 2
The Bruins sweep on the day and the Sharks descend in the other direction. Bruins sub goalie E. Miller with another stellar game in nets! Rob Montgomery goes twine twice for the Bruins. Jeff Steiber and Rob Rowling with singles, as the Bruins extend their winning streak to five games! Sub Mike Miller with three helpers. Dave “Adam” West and Mark Micolo score for the Sharks. Expletives flew freely, as Sharks sub Mark Rogers and the Bruins Shane McKibben both incur 2 and ten minute roughing penalties.
FLYERS 3 WINGS 2
If you win two games in a row – is it called a winning streak! These upstart Flyers sweep on the day, as goalie Billy Papciak stands on his proverbial head! Robbie Olmstead, Trevor Wrobel and returning from parts unknown – longtime Sting player – sub Jim Puffer score for the Flyers. Subs Tyler Teneyck and Chris Robillard with the Wings markers.
