Participants -
Players - Jordan D., Josh, Ben (Robbie goalie) vs. Maciej, Neil, Patrick, and James (Taylor goalie) - victory 22-19 for Maciej et al.
Played at - Gareena, home of the (ah, so sweet) dry corners.
Offensive Player of the Game - Josh - impossible to contain, despite his small size.
Defensive Player of the Game - Neil - long reach let him get into tight spots.
Best Shotblock/Save - Fantastic full stretch save by Taylor. Looked Toskalicious on that one. Even Jordan, the one who shot the ball, was shaking his head at that one.
Best Goal - James, finishing a great pass from Maciej with soft hands. So...soft.
Best Goalkeeper - Taylor over Robbie. Taylor kept his team ahead, and in it, when the offensive onslaught from Jordan's talented squad started the full rink press.
Best Deke - Jordan D. around Neil, a flip backhand smack that he claimed, "added to his arsenal."
Best Pass - Maciej to James, a breakaway effort that was tape to tape. Gorgeous.
Biggest 'Robbie' - Jordan D., missing the net on a bouncing ball. All alone too. Could've been the game decider.
Biggest 'Neil' - Ben firing a slapshot into the parked cars.
Best Fashion Sense - Maciej, wearing a Chicago Hawks jersey. At least they have a future.
Worst Fashion Sense - James, apparently dresses himself with a blindfold on.
The James Moment - Shouts of 2 on 2, as random clearances forced "timeouts" for people to hunt down loose balls.
Ratings (4 lowest, 10 highest) -
Jordan - 7; Scored a fair share, but not his usual dominant self.
Patrick - 8; Played a good shutdown game after a rocky start.
Maciej - 8; His scoring is going up, and the passing clinic was open.
Taylor - 9; Excellent, about as good as you can get between the pipes.
Robbie - 6; Struggled with rebounds and long shots.
Ben - 6; Gave the ball up in his own zone. Shot was way off.
Josh - 8; The waterbug ran 10,000 metres in about 2 hours.
James - 8; Very good hands in front of the net, translated into a goal scoring frenzy.
Neil - 9.5; Probably player of the game. His defence was impeccable when it mattered.
