The FHL Gazette

Le match était plutôt serré après la première période, mais on n'a pas réussi à contenir Chet, qui a fini par marquer 7 buts.

Leur gardien a fait de très beaux arrêts. On aurait probablement pu marquer environ 4 buts de plus.

Il est temps de sortir les boules de bingo et de trouver un moyen d'aider un peu notre gardien.

Merci à Harris d'être venu en renfort. Crisi, j'espère que ton bras va bien.

First period was a lot of escorts offense. Every chance was turned away by grashik allowing the mustangs to take a 2-0 lead.

Second period remains tight and included super sub crisi getting a stick to the dick, after skating through that he goes to the net and gets hit as shooting injurying his arm removing him from the game.

Third period the ice seemed to slant in the mustangs favor. Big game for new FHLer Wilk on the score sheet with a playmaker. A silly amount of points from chet as well.

Thanks to honorary mustang rochna for his win streak with us and sorry to crisi for calling you and getting you hurt.

The Model Ts are officially one of the hottest teams in the FHL right now. Best part? You’d never know in the locker room whether we had lost three straight or won three straight. Same vibes, same chirps, same great room to be a part of.

We were down Dennis and Brent due to injury, so Dan Contreraz stepped in and the Ts rolled with nine skaters: five forwards and four defensemen. Usually, the Model Ts are known for filling the net—but this week, we decided to remind everyone that defense wins championships too.

Rochna had put up five goals in his last game, so the scouting report was simple: make the young fella work for every inch. Force him wide, clog the slot, make him skate 200 feet, and keep three or four Model Ts between him and Killer whenever possible. The boys bought in, and it made life very difficult for the superstar.

The game stayed 0–0 until a nice defensive stand in our own end led to a clean breakout. Ruben got things moving, Chris went full SportsCenter Top 10 with a spin-o-rama around a defender, and somehow found daylight past Demars. Boom! 1–0 Model Ts.

Goal No. 2 followed the same beautiful formula: defend, break out, score. Ruben blocked a shot, Aco moved it to Mac, and Mac found rookie sensation Jordan alone with Demars. Jordan went top shelf, where grandma keeps the cookies. 2–0 Ts.

Then, with less than a minute left in the second, Soz won a draw and Hajec banked one perfectly off the boards to spring Aco into a footrace. Aco turned it into a breakaway and buried it. 3–0. That was the backbreaker.

The fourth goal? You guessed it: more team defense. A strong play in our own end led to a breakout and a 3-on-2 with Mac, Aco, and Soz. After a few drop passes, Soz found space in the slot and made it 4–0.

All four goals started in the defensive zone. Great team defense, clean breakouts, proper lane filling, and timely finishes. It felt like a playoff win with the way everyone played for each other.

Then, with about 3:40 left, I committed the ultimate hockey sin. I said: “We need to find a way to get Killer the shutout, whatever it takes.”

Three seconds later, Scary Terry scored.

My bad, Killer. That one’s on me.

Team defense was the story of the night. It sounds like Brent should be back next week, while we await the official injury report on Dennis.

Three straight wins is something to be proud of. The boys haven’t stopped working, haven’t stopped playing for one another, and keep getting better every week.
