FHL Recap - Tuesday October 4, 2005

Participants - Robbie, Maciej, Patrick, James, Danielle, Matthew Soegtrop, Tommy, and Alex D.
Offensive Player of the Game - Robbie; although he's not normally associated with goal scoring (especially with that stick of much horrible ways), he did score a lot of goals.  By his count 12; by mine 8.  Still, more goals then all others.
Defensive Player of the Game - Tommy; renewed vigor and some new toothpaste probably explain Tom's resurgence in the FFL.  Stole the ball more than a ball stealing burglar, and was consistently frustrating the stickhandling of Mac and James'. 
Best Shotblock - Maciej with his impression of a retarded swan - facing backwards.  Somehow that piece of garbage worked.
Best Goal - The tic-tac-toe play that silenced Pat's trashed talks.  Maciej deked past a few goons, passed it off to mini Soegtrop, who fired it to his namesake Rob who was left with a simply tap-tap-tappy for a pretty goal.
Best Deke - Maciej's inside-out, between the legs move on Tommy, that made the defensive player of the game look like a Japanese teabag.
Best Pass - Alex D's cross crease pass that somehow James managed to fan on.  Tape to tape, but James looked like an ape.
Best Fashion Sense - Maciej, with his awesome Chicago home jersey.
Worst Fashion Sense - Tommy's wearing of a vest.  What, are you skiing soon?
Bogus Moment - Not being able to find the ball for a very rong time.
Ratings -
Tommy - 9; Renewed aforementioned vigor; looked like a young Paul Coffey and scared the beejeez out of many a few.  Many a few also felt his hack.
Robbie - 8.5; Much better than previously, but still missed a lot of passes.  Robbie has one of the worst sticks in the world.
Matt S. - 6; Swung his stick around a lot.  Did manage a few nice dekes.  Is what you call a selfish player, with a propensity for the unusual.
Maciej - 7.5; A few sweet dekes, but was frustrated by Danielle and Tommy.
Patrick - 8; Warlock was his steely self, but slouching a concern, particularly whilst stickhandling.  Had he a bigger stick, gifts? 
Danielle - 8; Limited game time, but was an impacting factor on defence.  Is the definition of a stay at home defenceman; plays similar to Chris Pronger.
Alex D. - 8.5; A lot of skill, limited by Maciej's horrible wrong bladed stick.  Has some serious stickhandling skills, and made some brilliant cross crease passes.
James - 7; Does a lot more talking then playing.  A goal scoring threat, who knows his offensive positioning.  However, is an incredible shit on defence.
