Gray Blades 5 - Mimico 1

Tom dropped by to say Hi. 

Last week's loss was costly and the Gray Blades find themselves in 4th place. Tom told the team to smarten up because the team has never been so low in the standings.   

The team responded with 5 goals, 1 each to Kerry, John, Paul, Andy and Reg. 

 December 1st means Christmas is around the corner + Nylander's fate will be resolved. The Gray Blades Christmas gathering is being planned for the 13th.  

What the puck!

Gray Blades played Coopers who are sitting in last place with 1 win. They now have 2 wins. WTF

Lots of scoring chances but not enough goals. 6-3 final score.  

That's it. Game over. Move on. 

Gord, Andy and John scored the goals.  

Gray Blades 3 - Caseys 1

The Gray Blades find themselves in 3rd place after 8 games with a 4-3-1 record.  To move up, the Blades will have to play good games to beat the Strangers + Lyons. 

Gerry is recovering and will be out of action for a while. This week, Mike from the Corebetts league played goal.  He played a solid game. and the Gray Blades beat Caseys 3-1. 

Paul broke in on his off wing and put one in with a wrist shot just inside the far post. Andy beat their D and went top shelf for a beauty. Andy then banked a shot off Reg's shin pad for the 3rd goal. Blades had a dozen great chances but could not get any more. Paul was robbed by a desperate lunge + toe save. Chads found himself face to face with their goalie but could not close the deal. 

Refreshments were served at Jack Astors + Rich Holder made a guest appearance this week. 

Strangers 4 - Gray Blades 3

Solid effort by the Gray Blades.  The Strangers are the new team but they are getting familiar. The score was 2-2 after the first period and 3-3 in the second. They got the winning goal late in the game. The refs allowed the Strangers take a couple slap shots including one that counted as a goal.   

Gerry is out for a few weeks recovering from an operation. Mike plays with John on Wednesday nights and played net for the Blades.  

Rich continues to help out on the offensive side of the puck.  He gave John a beauty stretch pass for a breakaway and John finished it off by going top shelf. Rich then made a no look redirect pass to Reg for another goal. Paul skated miles and scored on a rebound for the other goal.  

Jack Astor's was open again after their minor renovation shut down.    

Hawks 3 - Gray Blades 3

Gray Blades were missing a lot of bodies this week - Gerry, Kerry, Chads, Dryds and Paul. 

Enzo skates with John A and in the Corbett's league. He helped out the forwards.  

John's line with Enzo and Hal provided the offence this week. John lead the way with 2 goals. Owen stepped up to get score a beauty. Hal and Enzo had assists on all 3 goals.   

Plans to rehydrate at Jack Astor's after the game did not work out. Rumours are that they heard that Rich was coming, so they closed shop and went home.   

Mike came from the Corbett's league to play goal this week and made key saves late in the game to keep the score tied.
