| FHL Recap - Wed., Mar. 1st, '06 Participants - Maciej, Robbie, Alex D., James, Tommy, Patrick, Danielle, Graham, and Matthew Couto. Offensive Player of the Game - Matthew Couto; A constant danger with the puck. Distributed the ball like he was a factory worker of sorts. Defensive Player of the Game - Tommy; Gettin' a lot harder to get past the guy, that's for sure. Best Shotblock - Alex D., who somehow managed to stone Maciej up close after McCaul set him up beautifully. Stone of the century. Best Goal - Maciej, who got a pass from James and fired it through a maze of players into the top corner of the net. Classy. Best Deke - Maciej's unravelling of Matthew Couto was nice, but Couto came back with his own, this time putting the ball under Maciej's stick before firing a nice shot on net. Best Pass - Danielle to Matthew Couto. Danielle stopped a run from Pat and fired it almost the entire length of the rink to Matt, who doesn't often miss such opps. Biggest Whiff - Surprisingly, it wasn't Robbie today, but rather Tommy. He missed a few sitters in front of the net, and Couto let him know about it. Best Fashion Sense - Danielle, classy play combined with a classy jacket. Worst Fashion Sense - Maciej, who forgot to wear his crappy jacket. Bogus Moment - Maciej running from Tommy to Danielle, forechecking his heart out. It didn't work, but it was worth a try. And then some. Notable Watchers - Frankie, Miranda and some other one. Didn't register much on the cheering end and legs were a hassle for the sticks. Ratings (4 lowest, 10 highest) - Tommy - 9; Stopped offensive powerhouses James and Maciej more than once and is proving to be a bit of a pain the ass for would-be stickhandlers. Fired in a fair share of goals as well. Robbie - 7; A much better game, but can be a liability when not focused. Alex D. - 8; Played goaltender most of the game, and was the reason his team won. Great saves on numerous occasions, a real Marcel Cousinneau. Maciej - 8; Good effort on the forecheck, but forgot crappy jacket. Doh! Patrick - 5.5; Must work on passing in order to be truly effective as a point man. Had some real bone head plays, but admitted to his mistakes. James - 7; Frustrated by Tomstick. Needs to float a lot less and get the ball loose in order to create chances for others. Led his team in goals. Matthew Couto - 9; His first game in quite a while, but showed some world class skills. Doesn't venture back into his own zone often, which is a minus. Plusses far outweight this however; is an impact scorer and playmaker. Graham - 5; Complained about damn near everything. Tried his hand at goalsucking today and failed miserably. Danielle - 8; Good overall showing. Always willing for the backcheck and digs the ball out of the corners. Good passing on the day, but should shoot more often. |
