2-5 vs. the Gooch
Another
super-fun game as we had just 8 skaters to share valuable
ice-time. We all got a great workout and managed 2 sure goals
and several close attempts. Although the Gooch had a team
of 15 skaters, we gave them a run for their money. Both of
our goals came in period 1 while we still had legs. By period
3 many of us had lost a bit of our jump and the Gooch took
advantage. Jerry had a great game, stopping all of their break-aways.
Mike Thompson and Joe Davis played their first game as Quakes,
and we welcome them to the team. Mike Scruton made it back
to the ice after much time off tending to an injury. It is
great to have Mike back on the ice. We had several players
either out of town, injured, or washing their hair. Hopefully
we'll have a good turnout for our next game, which is Thursday
June 11 at 10:15PM.

Quakes Tie vs. Puckheads
We were the first on the board when in the second period Barb
managed to get a rebound up past the goalie from what looked
like an almost impossible angle. But the pressure was on us
after the next two goals belonged to the Puckheads. With about
five minutes left in the game, Catherine gave Mike a great
pass as he was heading towards the next. The goalie came out
from the net to lessen the angle and maybe try a poke check.
But Mike tipped Catherine's pass up over the goalie and into
the net. We held on to the tie and the ref's gave us the choice
of whether we wanted a sudden death overtime. Coach Cus sensed
that we
had the momentum and said "yes".
In the overtime it looked like we might wrap it up when we
had a 3-on-1, but no go. Then an attacker broke through our
defenses and got a shot off. Goalie John made the save-- the
rebound trickled out along the goal line. Defenseman Jim managed
to quickly snatch it out. The game ended in a tie. Afterwards
one of the referees came over and even said it was a really
exciting game for him to ref!-
