Let's check the draft list to see who was available for the Galaxies' penultimate regular season tilt against the Raud Squad, shall we? We've got Chapman, check. Good start. Rocco, nope. Conner, no again. Barta, nuh uh. Um, OK, not running as drafted, then. I happened to be laid up with the flu, as well, so that's another sub. Then Killer was running late. This should be interesting.
Not to worry... Middleton, Easton, Vincent, and Hall to the rescue, along with a goalie from the old guy Monday skate ("the tall one") who stepped in for the first 5 mins of the game. I'm told that it was a 1-1 game when Caldwell entered, and that he proceeded to do his usual Killer things by making a bunch of great saves to give us the chance to pull off the victory.
We get next week off for spring break or something before the so-called seeding round, and then the real fun begins.
The Galaxies continued their domination of the Raud Squad this year. They always come to play against us and Killer Caldwell always finds a way to shut us down. On to the Fiesta.

Before the game even begins someone hits our goalie in the head with a shot AND be breaks his neck guard. Next up we have vic back up and forward and he jumps out ready to go for his first shift and falls head first into the board. He left the game shortly after to becasue his tummy hurt. Then we get stuck with a forward being the only D back and he plays it terrible giving up our first goal. Its me, i was the forward. Looking at the game tape i saw demars skate out to make a rink wide pass on an edsels change for us to not do much with it but good heads up goalie pass. Our only goal started with mild pressure from the potato to joe z picking off a pass and make a behind the back pass of his own that was netted. Mustangs are now locked into anywhere between 8th and 10th place.

Well, this was a crazy game. The Mariners came in hot, and scored in the first minute. And it was playing catch up the whole rest of the game. We tried clawing back a couple times, but just couldn't get caught up. 2 goals from sub Timmy Lyons and one from our own Collarusso, and we end up losing 5-3.
Thanks to Tim, Rob Hall, and Rico Suave for subbing.

Cobras save their worst defensive performance for week 22. We left Derrick out to dry for 4/5 goals. At least we have time to reflect and regroup as we go into our 15th bye week.
Thanks to Rob, Chris, and Dave for subbing.
Diesels have a week of back-to-back game nights. Coming off a tough loss the previous night, the mood was still great for the Black and Yellow. Playing well down the stretch, but coming up just short in most games was leaving a hunger for a big win against a dangerous Cobra team. Period 1 proved to be a big challenge for the the Diesels though as it looked like they were out of gas from the start. Chasing most of the time, but Jake was ready for the task to keep us in it. Some how the Diesels net the first goal late in the period from Nate the Skate! Cobras answer shortly after on what appeared to be a controversial goal call. Tough to see the puck go in and Jake had the puck underneath him well away from the goal line. Eitherway, it was a tie game until Nico buried one out front from a feed by Riley on a shot from Jeff at the point. Period ends 2-1 Diesels, surprisingly with the amount of control the Cobras had for the period! Diesels seemed to find their wind and legs in the second period and were able to keep pace with the Cobras. The Cobras were able to tie it again midway after Deroche buried one top shelf on a 2-on-1. Diesels answer right back with a great forecheck by Nico who finds Aaron all alone in front for the easy goal. Diesels find the penalty box shortly after and ultimately have to kill a 5-on-3 for over a minute. Jake makes some great saves to get us out of the period unscathed! Diesels up 3-2 to start the 3rd and remain 2 men down until the Cobras commit a foul early and take the pressure of the Diesels. Diesels complet the kill and get a timely goal from Jeff who picks up a loose puck in the neutral zone only to razzle-dazzle 3 Cobras on his way to a silky deke on the netminder! Diesels in unfamiliar territory with a 2 goal lead late in the game get the dagger with 4min to go from Nico on a breakaway! Not much left from the Cobras as they fall short to the Diesels in a tough game!
