Participants - Neil, Robbie, Patrick, Matthew C., Maciej, Alex, Jordan, Josh, Sayanth, and Tommy.
Offensive Player of the Game - Patrick; hard to get a read on.
Defensive Player of the Game - Neil; never makes mistakes.
Played at: Gareena
Notable Absentees - Peter, James.
Best Shotblock/Save - Matt stoning Maciej twice in front of the net. The first was a hard wrister, the second a followup shot that was damn near highway robbery.
Best Goal - Tommy scoring on Matt. From an impossible angle, Tom shot it, where it took a few lucky bounces and squeaked between the left post and left pad of Matthew.
Best Goalkeeper - Alex, outdueling Matthew, and then Jordan. Moves incredibly well from side to side.
Best Deke - Maciej, in and out, under the stick on Josh.
Best Pass - Robbie sending Maciej on a breakway. Rob looked up and fired a pass in between 3 defenders, tape to tape. Gorgeous. Would have been onside even in ice hockey.
Biggest 'Robbie' - Tommy. After receiving a disgustingly nice layoff pass from Sayanth, Tommy had a gaping net to shoot out. He missed. What a Robbie!
Biggest 'Jacob' - Patrick, for no apparent reason, firing it out of the Garden rink. Ugly.
Best Fashion Sense - Neil; Hello my name is Neil, I wear red shirts.
Worst Fashion Sense - Patrick; an ugly looking, not purple sweatshirt.
The James Moment - The luckiness of Jordan. He never looked to be in position, was always wandering, and somehow (no one really knows how to be entirely honest), the ball stayed out of the net. It was either shot at him, or deflected towards him, but that ball defied all odds in most cases.
Convo of the Day -
(Maciej stickhandling, his back to a charging Robbie)
Robbie - How long are we going to walk like this...
Maciej - Later! (Maciej speeds away from Robbie)
Robbie - I gonna get you, freakin' Mongonian!
Notable Watchers - Sayanth's friends, kids with parents and hockey sticks (too late bitches!), Josh walking by with milk, man with boy.
