WEEK #7 RESULTS

In last night’s first game Team Blair left Dan hanging in the wind – lots of uncontested breakaways and easy cuts to the net.  Team Juniors scored early and often and led 8-0 at the end of one and their full bench allowed them to run and run and run…… A short benched Team Blair was finally able to break Justin’s shutout near the end of the 2nd period and doubled their score again near the end of the game. Final score Team Junior2 12 – Team Blair 2. Missing top scorers Ian Gordon and Matt Vlemmix puts a major limit on the Team Blair scoring capability.

Second game of the night was back and forth the entire game. Lead changed hands a number of times before Team Joe was able to pull ahead by one and run out the clock at the end to post a win to move them into first place in the standings. Final result Team Joe 9 – Team Russ 8.

WEEK #6 RESULTS

Another week of pretty good games – and something a bit disturbing. All teams had 9-12 on the bench and the length of games seemed just about right – no one appeared to be (obviously) running out of gas in the last 10 minutes so nothing will change for another week or so (if ever).

In game one, Team Russ scored early and often but Team Juniors kept coming back to get close or tie. JKOW seemed to be the difference this week as he was able to score consistently enough to drag Team Russ over the finish line – final score Team Russ 15  –  Team Juniors 12.

Game two was a (relatively) lower scoring game. Ian Gordon was the go to guy for Team Blair and was able to outscore Team Joe’s Little Chess leading Team Blair back to the win column after 2 straight losses though it was close right to the end. Final result Team Blair 11 – Team Joe 8.

Disturbing part of the game – right at the start of the 2nd period, after catching a painful shot on the wrist the period before, I distinctly heard (what I thought was) “shoot for his hand” coming from the Team Blair bench. Really? Doesn’t quite seem to be in the spirit of Masters HL lacrosse. Hopefully someone that was on the bench can clarify what I might have misheard? (apparently I may have misheard – see explanation in comments –  G2).
