Grizzly Game Recap - Winter Game 6

The Grizz faced off on this night with their bizzaro doppelgangers. The last place team was predictably no match for the top ranked Grizz. This would be an easy win but was not without it's interesting story lines. The Grizz were shorthanded for one. They were missing Johnny and their usual goalie. The replacement is the poor soul that Grizz poured thirteen goals past earlier in the season. That alone is a titillating enough drama but secondary scoring threat Sheraz was not without difficulties in this one, having to frequently visit the facilities while battling some sort of lower GI illness. Nobody was too concerned with this mismatch. Circling back to the interesting story lines, it appeared as if the Grizz net-minder didn't bring his A game. Maybe he wasn't into this match-up, the covering of another team or maybe wanted to serve up some revenge against the team that ran up the score on his team earlier in the season, we'll never know. It also seemed that no one told the Pylons they were supposed to lose, they showed up to play and implemented a systems approach that has been working for another team in the league, the upstart Pass it! squad. Details were sparse after this one, the main take home message was that it was an easy win. Admiral Bonesaw got a hat trick over the course of the game. The first was through a screen and off the post and in. The second was on a clap bomb one timer from the slot off a feed from the D. The third goal that made it 7-2 at that point was a greasy number. The D put the ball on net and its squirmed through the goalie and stopped just shy of the line. Bonesaw casually jogged in and knocked it the rest of the way. He was quoted as saying that he "felt bad scoring that in that way." You are probably wondering about the Beer Guy's goal streak? He kept his streak of scoring in every game he played alive but with some chance involved. The Grizz team earned a penalty shot and he selfishly piped up to take it before any more deserving player had a chance. The team acquiesced and he capitalized. It was obvious that the opposition goalie was keeping his team in the game and keeping the score close. It could have been much wider than the 8-4 final. The goalies they managed to score on the Grizz ended up looking pretty great. The league organizer ripped a bullet top corner, a stocky lad having missed several easy chances early in the game redeemed himself with a beauty. The Grizz sensing victory and feeling some degree of pity took their foot off the gas later in the game and worked on their passing. Long bouts of keep away on the perimeter were had during the closing minutes. The outcome was predictable but tip of the cap goes to the Pylons for not quitting. Hopefully they use their momentum to have a big game next week. Speaking of upcoming matches, the Beer Guy will miss next week for his own reasons. It is not crucial though, having rattled off six straight wins they have clinched top seed going into the playoffs already.
