Cimo's Extends Cheers Skid, BWW Escapes The 'Mill

BWW 1st Star Jack "Cracker Jack" Mullen

Two close, exciting games this week in the CCHL as Monday's tilt went down to the final buzzer. Cimo's scored a controversial goal as time expired to cap off their come from behind 8-7 victory over Cheers. A miscommunication between Hall of Fame goaltender Mark Crowley and defenseman Jake Curtin proved costly as Ryan Williamson one-timed a feed from Cam Heath as time expired. Cheers protested the call made on the ice by referee Nick "Slick" Lacasse, but the call was confirmed by the league offices across the street at Buffalo Wild Wings. Cimo's was led by Ryan "Flyin" Williamson's 4 pack of goals as he continues to bounce back from a sluggish start and Jeff "Cano" Cain scored his first hat trick since his famous 1996-97 performance where he had a career high 24 goals. For Cheers it was another heart breaking loss dropping them to 1-6 on the season and their sixth straight loss following an opening night victory. Cheers was again led by their captain Tim "Timinator" Walsh who tallied a hat trick.

Tuesday's tilt did not disappoint as well, this time it was BWW in the comeback effort over Windmill 8-7. Jack Mullen scored his game high fourth goal of the night with five minutes remaining to give BWW a lead they would not relinquish to improve to 6-1 this season. BWW only received one goal from their first line as Captain Travis Banga was once again suspended for violating the league's hair gel policy (second suspension this season) and 2nd round pick Shayne LeBreton was absent for the fourth straight game following an undisclosed locker room incident. Stepping up in their absence was Kyle "Super Sub" Marceau who scored the lone goal for the first unit. Windmill jumped out to an early lead and looked to be in full control of the contest prior to the BWW comeback. Windmill received hat tricks from both CCHL Leading Scorer Mike "Tricky Dick" Richard and Captain Gavin "You Betcha" Faretra, but it would not be enough to avoid falling to 3-4 on the season.
