Participants -
Players - Jordan D., Jordan T., Neil, Peter, Josh
Goalies - Patrick, Maciej
Played at - Gareena, home of the ever exixting dirt pile. It's almost gone.
Offensive Player of the Game - Jordan D. - deadly touch in front of the net.
Defensive Player of the Game - Jordan T. - great on the backcheck.
Best Shotblock/Save - Pat diving full out to save an open net effort from Josh.
Best Goal - Jordan D. on Maciej. Before the Polish keeper could even position himself, Jordan D. flicked a cheeky backhand into the bottom corner of the net. So goddamn cheeky.
Best Goalkeeper - No contest - Patrick over Maciej.
Best Deke - Josh around Neil, which is no feat to do even once, but the mini-winger managed to play with Neil's emotions and hockey skills three times. The fourth time, Neil roared and smacked the ball out of there. Before that, he looked foolish, getting beaten under the stick and through the legs.
Best Pass - Peter, whipping a fantastic effort to Jordan D., who put it away on the breakaway.
Biggest 'Robbie' - Peter, with a gaping net, fired it wide of the corner. Somewhere on a Hawaii-bound plane, Robbie screamed acceptance.
Biggest 'Neil' - Jordan D. to end the game. Good job buddy.
Best Fashion Sense - Maciej - looking fantastically huge - that's what she said, booya.
Worst Fashion Sense - Neil - a fiasco. He's the polar opposite of Mr. Dressup.
The James Moment - The complete and utter difference in goaltending. Patrick was stellar. Maciej was cellar. Pat was tops. Maciej was flops. Patrick was gangster. Maciej was prankster. Patrick was incredible. Maciej was...inedible.
Ratings (4 lowest, 10 highest) -
Jordan D. - 9.5; He's all but MVP, boys. Another powerful performance.
Patrick - 9; Some fantastic pokechecks to breakup the Josh/Tingle duo.
Maciej - 5; Some okay saves, but generally a disaster, right up there with Robbie or Jacob in net.
Jordan T. - 9; Good two-way performance, but ran out of luck.
Neil - 8.5; Generally good. Got his shot on net, and scored a career high 3 goals.
Josh - 8.5; Elusive as always, and found good chemistry with Tingle.
Peter - 10; That's about as good as you can get from the bruiser. Incredible two-way play.
