Blue Blowout!

Dunc's half a dozen

Blue gets back into the series with a game 3 blowout over rival Green. It was looking like Green might sweep their long time rivals in the royal blue sweaters, except Blue had other ideas. Led by the brilliant performance from left wing Duncan "Coach" Walsh, Blue dominated Green from start to finish. We caught up to Walsh to ask him about his six goal performance and he said, "Really, six goals? I had no idea. I don't keep track. It's about the team. Whatever I can do to contribute to the team is what I care about. There is no "I" in team , but there is an "A" and I suppose I got an "A" for a grade tonight." Walsh did earn first star of the game honors for his stellar play. Second star of the game went to Tom "Philby" Philbrick who had ten assists on the night. "I could see that Dunc and Clint had the hot hands so I got them the puck every chance I could. There is no "I" in team, but there is an "A" which is the first letter in assist", said Philbrick. "There is an "I" in assist as well as three esses", he added.  The third star went to Jim "Heathy" Heath who controlled play at both ends of the ice for most of the night for Blue. For Green, it's a wake up call. "I think that the success we've had all season made us forget that we have to earn it every game, every period, every shift", said Dan "Lucky" Luker. "Tonight we expected them to hand it to us, but we found out that that doesn't happen in the NAHL except in October, November and the early part of December". Green leads the best of seven series two games to one with the next game to be played at The Doug.
In the CCHL this week, The Windmill was spinning circles around "The Fab Five" better known as Cimo's. Wondering where the rest of the Cimo's players are? Try looking in Sochi. They round out the rosters for teams such as Lapland, Moldavia and Uruguay.  Windmill had too much fire power for the undermanned Cimoians as captain Gavin "You Betcha" Faretra notched four goals (Dunc had six for Blue). Phil "The Whistle" Lacasse broke the shut out for Windmill in the waning moments of the game to make it a 6-1 game.
In the second game this week, BWW had a convincing win over Cheers 11 to 5.  Mike Richards had five goals for BWW (Dunc had six for Blue) while "Flyin" Ryan Williamson netted four. Travis "Gang Bang" Banga found the back of the net for the first time since week 12. For Cheers, Corey "The Cockroach" Laroche had the hat trick (Dunc had two hat tricks for Blue) while Tim Walsh (no relation to Dunc who had six goals for Blue) and Cam "Bam" Heath each had single goals. Cheers sorely missed the top defensive pair of Jake Curtain and Nick Dominici who were skating in the pairs figure skating competition in Sochi.
