RECAP: September 3rd, 2016

This first game of September featured the return of cool weather and the return of the LiQ. The games were heavy on close competition and physicality.  The featured goalies in this tilt were Gary M. and Craig M.  Gary was in his usual form and played a solid 3 games.  Rust seemed to be the main culprit as to why Craig's team was over-matched, even when their team featured an extra player to be used as a substitute. The physicality featured in the game also played its own part.  Gary's team's defensive specialist, James S. blocked a plethora of shots to aid his goalkeeper.  He also featured in a collision early in Game #3, which knocked Craig's team's forward Brad V. out of the game for the entirety of the second period. He would return in the 3rd and score a goal, but he was obviously not playing at 100%. Despite this, Craig's team able to edge Gary's team in Game #2 with a shutdown 3rd period which featured very few shots on goal for a 5-3 win.  Gary's team however, dominated in Game #1 with a 7-3 victory, and held off a late push from Craig's team in Game #3 for a 5-3 victory. The one-two punch of Igor N. and Rob M. was nearly impossible to control. Igor peppered Craig with shots and on a number of occasions Rob was able to pot the rebounds into the vacant areas of the goal.
