Participants -
Players - Jordan D., Robbie, James and Patrick (goalie) vs. Maciej, Neil, Jacob, Taylor and Matthew C. (goalie)
Score - 21-19 - win for Maciej's squad.
Played at - Gareena, home of the (ah, so sweet) dry corners.
Offensive Player of the Game - Maciej - great goals near the end.
Defensive Player of the Game - Jacob - kept getting in the way.
Best Shotblock/Save - Pat, sticking out his 'boat feet' and denying Maciej 3 times in close.
Best Goal - Maciej, the game winner, stepping around 2 people and wiring a shot from the blue line, beating Patrick blocker side.
Best Goalkeeper - Patrick over Matt. Despite the fact that his team lost, Pat was not to blame for any of the goals.
Best Deke - James around a floundering Jacob. Looked absolutely foolish, did he. Between the legs, around the stubby legs and gone.
Best Pass - Maciej to Taylor, a backhand flip the entire length of the rink, that Taylor handled and fired past Patrick. Even Jordan was impressed.
Biggest 'Robbie' - Jacob, firing a lob over the net and into the shadowlands. I don't even know how that was physically possible. He was facing away from the net and he shot behind him.
Biggest 'Neil' - Robbie, twice. What a bum.
Best Fashion Sense - Neil - okay, he looked better than he did before.
Worst Fashion Sense - Taylor - color changing shirts scare James.
The James Moment - Jacob showing up for hockey. Plaques and statues will be raised.
