Despite aggressive play, Dorff Dwarfs the Owls

Early in the first period, the Snow Owls new they had a battle on their hands. Bertie Blowhard the solo referee job for the night. And despite Section Six, Rule 624 of the USA Hockey handbook, something called "Blue line icing" was forced into the game. 

Early in the second period, soccer sensation Sam-well Slags blistered a wrister that Alexander "Sean" Duffey got a great tip on to tie the game at one.

Not long after that, the heart and lungs of the team, Mikey Spencer, grabbed a pass in front of the net with a guy draped on him McIntosh at an Old Country Buffet (RIP).

This irked Dirt Star defenseman who will will call Weenie Stick, due to prior actions. He threw a knee that was actually caught on tape https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8freVUoJBy0 and Weenie was ejected from the game. With only 54 second or Powerplay time, the Snow Owls just missed an opportunity to score with 2 seconds left. This did lead to some extracurriculars, but there is no need to point fingers for who got in this incident. This is a team game and we don't blame individual players for their actions. That said Robin Markquardt did miss a breakaway early in the third period that honestly probably cost us the game.

Once Dorff scored again, T-Smith answered back and we were knotted at three. Now Bertie Blowhard, again on his own, did make one critical error (and nearly two). It took several minutes of convincing him the score was 3-3.. to which he brought up a video tape that would tell the real story. We want to know the real story behind the 2 minute ejection http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/993/875/084.png

Bertie's ejection was a clear 5 and a game penalty and should've been assessed as such. That is an all you can eat 5 minute penalty and Bur-Graff will be filing our official appeal today.

I blacked out at the end of the game and we lost.. but this was a season of improvements.

3 Stars of the season:

1. Jones/Fors - None of us are willing to have pucks shot at them at a high rate of speed, and they did it every week with a smile or frown on their face.
2. T-Smith - Men lie, women lie, numbers don't.
3. Slags - the guy goes from sitting in the wrong rink just waiting on the game to start, to having the two biggest games of his career to end the season.

Statement Win for the Snow Owls

By Staff 07/11/2016, 11:00am CDT

We are #back

Without Star Forward Ryan Hanson, the Snow Owls had to do some soul searching. This was done in the form of gassin' beers and chuckin knucks and it's safe to say the Snow Owls are #back. 

An absolutely P-Pounding led to an early lead, with some sick geno's and great passing all around. The Snow Owls jumped out in front and never really looked back.

The Minnesota Adult Hockey League Gambling Commision (MAHLGC) is, however, looking into a point shaving scheme against 5 Sport Ngin players (you know who you are) for the 3 goal shift they gave up midway through the third period.

MVP - A. Jones per usual. #rocksolid 

 

Mighty Ducks Quote of the day:

Coach Orion: [picks hockey puck up off the ice and addresses the Ducks] What's the one thing all great teams have in common?

Lester Averman: Great coaching.

Coach Orion: [unamused] Don't try to suck up to me, Averman.

[pause]

Coach Orion: Defense. See, unlike scoring, defense never quits. But to play great defense you need one thing above all else.

Lester Averman: [sarcastically, to Goldberg] Bet it starts with a W.

Coach Orion: Confidence. Listen, if you learn nothin' else when you're here, you learn this, all right? This is not just about hockey. It's easy to be confident when you have control of the puck. It's very, very difficult to keep that confidence when you gotta take whatever strange bounces life throws your way. Don't be careless, but don't be too careful either. You cannot be afraid to lose! That's how you gain the confidence to attack the game when the puck isn't yours. That's how you attack life... even when you think you don't have any control. And that's how you play real defense.

Without Hanson, can this team bounce back

Snow Owls Blanked 5-0

Two weeks ago, the Snow Owls had 15 players and ice time was hard to come by in a 7-1ish blanking of some other crummy team. This week, however, only 7 warriors showed up to the locker room, and a goalie got there 8 minutes before puck drop saying he hadn't put the pads on in three years.

The Snow Owls coveted power line of Hanson, McIntosh and Collins were dismantled, leading scorer C. Hoffman hadn't been to sleep yet from the night before and overall it was just a struggle from start to finish. The Snow Owls controlled the first 5 minutes of the game, until they had to make line changes and ran out of juice. 

Temporary Captain McIntosh has put the entire team on notice for their lack of attendance. Special shout out to Rookie Forward Slags who showed up and sat at the wrong rink until their was 9 minutes left in the game. He would also like to inform the Bur-gruffs if there is any more family baptisms just bring them to the rink and we'll do it on the ice.

The Snow Owls have the 4th of July weekend off to drink pops and live off the land.  They return against the garbage team in two weeks.
