Caseys 4 - Gray Blades 2

Jerry was back between the pipes tonight and played a solid game.  Colin and Enzo got the call to join the big club and filled in for the missing D. 

The game got off to a good start with Dryds scoring 2 times on 1 shift. It was 2-1 at the end of the first period. 

Caseys tied it up midway through the period + got the winner with just over a minute left in the game. An empty netter made it 4 to 2 for the bad guys.  

Gray Blades 2 - Strangers 0

Gray Blades start the New Year off on the right foot by handing the Strangers their 2nd loss of the season.  

Jerry is still on the DL.  Kirk filled in between the pipes.  He was outstanding and earned the shutout.  Gord, O, Rich and John had solid games on D and stopped their forwards, time and time again. Dryds top shelfed the puck after a strong effort in front of their net. Then, he closed out the win with an empty netter.          

Lyons lost their game, so there are only 3 points separating 3 teams in a battle for 2nd place. 

Gray Blades 3 - Hawks 3

Last game of 2018 ended in a 3-3 tie vs Hawks. 

Getting ready for the service at the church of hockey.

 Steve scored the first goal and Paul scored the other two for the Blades. 

The Gray Blades wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Lyon's 5 - Gray Baldes 3

The games are close checking against Lyons and this game was no exception. The game was tied 2-2 after the first period.  The checking was tight and the referees put away their whistles.  Lyons play a physical game and if it wasn't a shoulder, it was a stick that they used to slow you down. The game ended with a flurry of goals - 3 in the last minute. 

When it was all said and done, Lyons scored 1 offside goal, 1 with the net off its moorings + 2 into an empty net. 

For the Blades, Hal got one + Reg scored twice.

POND 1 - BLADES 1

Wins are not a sure thing this year. Gray Blades are having problems stringing wins together right now. Although outshooting and outchancing the opposition again, the Gray Blades tied Golden Pond 1-1.

 

 Mike filled in as goalie again this week. He brought some Canada Bread products to share with the team.

  The goal was scored on a nice passing play from Owen to Chads to Dryds.  Dryds beat their defencemen and shot the puck into the net.

Kerry got a loaf of raisin bread. So he went home happy. 

Next week is the annual Gray Blades Christmas gathering. An anonymous source says that many founding Gray Blades will be gracing the event with their presence.
