Offensive Player of the Game - Tommy; 2nd consecutive game as the leading scorer.
Defensive Player of the Game - Patrick; got the stick in there.
Played at: Fern Hockey Arena, or Fareena.
Best Shotblock - James, helping his 'keeper Graham by clearing it off the line. 
Best Goal - Tommy, who dilligently fought for the ball in the corner, dug it out and fired it over to Robbie, who shelved it on Alex. 
Best Deke - Maciej, unravelling Robbie with a sweet move that went under his stick and then between his legs.
Best Pass
- Robbie, who fired a no look pass square onto the stick of Maciej.  Big guy didn't make a mistake.
Biggest Whiff - Maciej, who had his first shot stopped by Graham, and then roofed it...into the sky.  Look at the bitch go!
Best Fashion Sense
- Alex D.  Maybe that vest isn't all that bad.
Worst Fashion Sens
e - Robbie, with his uncool red springy jacket.
Bogus Moment
- Alex D. leaving the net unattended to score a goal on opposing keeper Graham.  With a ball that was not the game ball.  What in froover's mell?
Notable Watchers - Some guy, Jesse.
Ratings (4 lowest, 10 highest) -
Tommy - 9; It was always going to be hard to repeat his Gareena performance, but he did pretty damn well.  Forechecks better than most expect, and has a deceptively good first pass.  Stickhandling better.
Alex D. - 8; Finally got some pads and played quite well.  Was too deep in his net at times and let in a few softies.  But was the better of the two goalkeepers and handled the ball well out of the net.
Maciej - 8; Had a quiet period in there.  Jobar!
Patrick - 8; Initially fell back into a pattern of passing the ball up the middle, but then thought better of that and played it safe.  Solid defence.
James - 8.5; Got a new stick and it showed.  Put some distance between himself and the Red Robster in FHL scoring.  Good game, no faults.
Graham - 4.5; Brain farts a key hinderance to his game.  A lot of soft goals.
Robbie - 6; Better than last game, but not much so.  Started off with some good deking and confident passing, but fell back into the pattern of standing at an angle and doing little to no forechecking.
Jacob - 5.5; Afraid to shoot, but that's because he's playing with a poor stick.  Needs to get his head away from Maciej's elbows.
