Thursday, November 5, 2009
Mt. Clemens Ice Arena & Fitness Center
Tonight's Contest ... Yzerman Division Leader Mt. Clemens versus
Garden City ...
... is the 5th Game of the Season for these Home Boyz.
Mr. Kaslatas and Mr. Hutek say ...
... Let's Git-It-On!
The Wolves Win the Face-Off ...
... and, Strike First ...
... #15 Jesse Peterson from #19 Sam Clever and #88 Cody Schmidt ...
Goalers Hate It when That Happens ...
... but, Goldwings #1 Dominic Corredino didn't let That
bother him too much ...
Garden City regrouped ...
... to visit their Offensive Zone ...
... giving #33 Chris Gagleard a chance to be Busy ...
This Mt. Clemens Squad ...
... is Very Good ...
... currently sitting in the Number Three Spot ...
... in the National USA Midget Major Tier 2
Rankings.
These Wolves have been together as a Team ...
... for several years ...
... most recently as the Troy Sting ...
... Winning the International Silver Stick ...
... last year at Newmarket, Ontario ...
... among other things.
One of the Wolves Parents told this reporter, before the game ...
... "This is the best team my kid has ever been on since Minis,"
and, we know that he has been on some very good teams over
the years!
Expectations are high ...
The Wings, on the other hand, are not the same Power-house
...
... of previous years, at the moment ...
... having lost some Key Players to Juniors ...
... but can Skate with the best ...
... and were giving MC All They could handle
...
... in this Contest!
Gagleard and Hiz Dee were Short-Handed once in P1
...
... as was Garden City ...
... but the Goalies were Excellent ...
... at either End ...
... and Special Teams ...
... were not a Factor ...
... early on.
What was a Factor ...
... it seemed, to this reporter ...
... was the Goldwings Short Bench ...
... and, the Wolves Broke Through Again ...
... #88 Schmidt from #15 Peterson to end the period.
So, it's the First Intermission,
where we find AC Charlie Wasczenski,
standing in for Head Coach Gordie Lietz,
who is Absent With Leave because of flu ...
Period 2 was without incident ...
... for the most part ...
... and without Scoring ...
... until the End ...
... but the Photos show ...
... that Most of the Action ...
... was in the Visitor's Court ...
... which provided Little Opportunity for Scoring ...
... for Them ...
... and, GC took a Couple Penalties ...
... which didn't help the Offense much, either ...
Mt. Clemens was On-the-Kill twice, themselves, but the Visitors
failed to Convert.
At Half-Time, Garden City makes a scheduled Goalie Change,
with #20 Evan Bjerk taking the Net.
Number Twenty immediately sees Lask, Kish, Nolfo and White ...
... a Wrecking Crew if there ever was one ...
... but,
Garden City survives.
The Wolves ...
... Turned Up the Heat ...
... electing to spend ...
... most of the Period ...
... Camped Out on Mr. Bjerk's Doorstep ...
... finally resulting in an Infraction at 3:02 to go in P2
...
... which MC took advantage of ...
... #15 Peterson from #88 Schmidt and #5 Kyle Fedyna.
Mount Clemens continued ...
... to Pressure the Visitors ...
... but, the Horn Sounds ... putting an end to All That!
Meanwhile ...
... Timing and Scoring is having Too Much Fun is what
we think!
Coach Leger is reasonably happy with Things
so far ...
... and, Coach Wasczenski is Okay with everything other than
Offense ...
And, with One Period to go ...
... this Game is still Up-fer-Grabs!
Mt. Clemens gets Back-to-Work ...
... Crashing the Net ...
Gagleard shows up in The Pix, now and then ...
... but, it is the Garden City G&D Department ...
... which is getting Most of the Photos ...
Then, The Bottom Falls Out for the Visitors
with Three Quick Goals Against ...
Number Four to #96 Ryan Kish from #19 Captain "C" ...
... and, shortly thereafter ...
... Goal Number Five ...
... from #10 Kyler Constantine and #14 Eric Ritonja ...
... to #16 Jonathan Troyer.
Bjerk continues to be Busy, Busy, Busy ...
Gagleard gets into the Action ...
... sending the Puck down ice ...
... to #10 Constantine ...
... then over to #14 Ritonja ...
... to make it Six-Zip for the Home Boyz on the PP
...
The Wings had ENUF of That ...
... allowing #10 Anthony Stankiewicz ...
... a chance to Break on the Goalie ...
... to Ruin the Shutout ...
... with the Assist to #82 Curtis Foed at 12:29 P3...
Garden City would be Short-Handed after That ...
... and, somewhere in here ...
... Mount Clemens would Grab another Bucket ...
... #16 Troyer, #14 Ritonja and #10 Constantine ...
... and, then, #10 Stankiewicz would get Goldwings Goal Number Two
...
... on the Feed from #9 Ryan Santo ...
Time was Running Out tonight ...
... for Garden City ...
... and the Wolves ...
... put a Lid-On-It at 5:20 P3 ...
... with #16 Troyer's Hat-Trick ...
... Give the Assist to #40 Mathew Lask.
That would be That ...
... for any more Scoring ...
... in this Hockey Game ...
... though there were Some Opportunities ...
... on Both Sides ...
So, the Wolves put another X in their Win Column ...
Good game ... good game ... good game ...
Ummm ... still some Time Left on the Curfew Clock
...
... so Coach calls for some Sprints ...
"Well, they seemed to be dogging it there at the end ...
... trying to run-down the clock," Coach would say, later
(LOL)!
Anyhow, we will try to catch another Wolves Game in the future ...
maybe versus Summit or West Michigan Warriors.
That would be Fun!
Good Game!
