LET THE SECOND HALF COMMENCE!
BRUINS 6 WINGS 3
Macomb County legend “Downtown” Jimmy Brown goes twine twice to lead the Bruins to the W! Singles for Jim May, Ron Nanney and the Robs – Rowling and Montgomery. Wings – Dave Rupprecht, Scott Chodun and my favorite Elsey – sub Keith.
HAWKS 5 FLYERS 2
The Hawks receive goals from five different players and behind the stalwart puck stopping efforts of sub goalie MacDonald ground the Flyers. Hawks – Waz Sarweh(PP), Kurt Salvatore, Scott Kostesich, Mike T. Brown and sub Chris Robillard. Greg Stacy and Mike Nalepa with the Flyers goals.
SHARKS 4 HABS 4
The Habs do all their scoring in the initial period and the Sharks come back from a two goal deficit for the tie. Sharks sub Butch Ericson pictured below on the right, with myself and my wife at the tiki bar during the Florida Palms tourney two years ago, with a two goal game. Ward Peterson and Anthony Amato also with Sharks goals. Jamie Smith(2), Marty Papesh and Steve Bayagich with the French goals. Nate McNaughtry with the hat trick assist.
HAWKS 3 BRUINS 2
A well played very entertaining contest, as Detroit Red Wing killer Tyler Johnson lookalike(See Picture Below) Mike T. Brown with the game wining goal! Marcel Dimitri and sub Chris Robillard also score for the Hawks as they sweep on the day. Line-mates Jimmy Brown and John Cornish score for the Bruins, who split on the day. Both goalies – Sub MacDonald for the Hawks and Kris “King” Arthur for the Bruins, shined in nets in this run and gun league!
SHARKS 7 WINGS 2
Five subs today for the Fish. No problem – as “Angry” Joe passes out name tags pregame, as they demolish the Wings. Deuces wild for the swift Anthony Amato and grizzled veteran sub Mark Rogers. Singles for Ward Peterson and subs Butch Ericson and one of my favorite players(I Know Some Opposing Players Would Disagree) sub Brendan Brosnan. Fellow sub Mark Piccolo Jr. with three helpers. Goaler Brian Miller with a fairly light workload. Again – my favorite Elsey – Keith – with both Wings markers.
HABS 8 FLYERS 5
Game MVP(Pictured Below on the Right) Steve Bayagich with the tour du chapeau for the Frenchmen! His third goal was a thing of beauty, as the Flyers stud sub defenseman is still looking for his jock strap! Singles for Nate McNaughtry(Pictured on the Left), Marty Papesh, Jim Roble, Jamie Smith and Paul Elsey Jr. Flyers sub Mr. Tyler “Duck Dynasty” Tenayck with a big four goal game! Mike Riddle with a top shelf goal.
