Big Cum Wins it Late for Blue

"Big Cum" (far right) celebrating the victory

The weather outside “The Doug” was dreary, but the play inside was intense as week 4 of the NAHL turned out to be a Blue/Green barn burner. Blue squeaked out a win when Jim " Big Cum" Commerford put in his second goal of the night by stealing the puck at the blue line and scoring on a breakaway with one minute left to play to make the score Blue 5 Green 4. Commerford had tied the score earlier in the third. " Big Cum" leads the NAHL in scoring and the crafty veteran proves every game how valuable he is to the league.  Andy "BTO" Bachman also added two goals for Blue. Tom "Shemp" Champagne score for Blue on a nifty breakaway. Ken "Rebel without a Rebound" Dean played solid in goal for Green, but the Blue breakaways were just too much for him to handle. Ken "Don't Ya Love Em Madly" Bradley was huge in the Blue net snagging many “sure goals” out of the air with his quick catching glove. Tom " Duster" Dustin was able to beat Bradley on a rare penalty shot after being “manhandled” by Joe " Joe" Farrelly. Dave " The Younger Tilly" Tillotson beat Bradley in the second period with a blistering shot that rang off the post and bounced into the net. Phil "Commish" Stuart scored his first goal of the season to start the scoring in the first period.
