At the All Star Break

Tonight was the last game before next week's All Star break. They said this would be a real test, to show if we were for real, or the beneficiary of playing a schedule the was heavy on weak teams in the early weeks. The Slackjaws, they said, would expose us as imposters, and Sean Tasker would light the lamp repeatedly.

We came out firing, scoring five goals in 8 minutes, and finished period one ahead 5-0. Its hard to say if we let up or they woke up, but they began the second period with renewed intensity. They started scoring, and soon were within 2 goals, at 6-4, when they went on the power play. This was the game right here. Two minutes to take a stand, or let them crawl back into it.

Jerusalem Pizza was up to the test. We killed of the penalty, and scored two more goals before the period let out, to go into the third 8-4. They kept scratching and clawing their way back into the game, and got as close as 9-6 before we finally put them away. I scored my first of the season, a slapper from the point that managed to find the back of the net, making it 11-6. We traded one more goal apiece, and the game ended 12-7. Sean Tasker came in averaging over three goals per game, and we held him to two. Shaya Klein, second leading goal scorer in the league coming in to tonight, also had two goals, and for the first time all season, everyone on the team other than the goalie had at least one goal.

So we have arrived at the all star break. Ephraim Singal and Shaya Klein made the team, and will play next week representing us all.

As for the team, we are sitting pretty at 4-1, and getting ready to face the 4-1 Outsiderz in two weeks.
