Knights Hockey Review

Volume II issue I
The Knights lost their season opener 6-3 to the Maroons. We spotted them a 3-0 first period lead and could not catch up. They have some new players and are much improved over the ratty bunch they were last year. The Knights also have five new players and we are still trying to get on the same page. We had just eight forwards and suffered from having me and my out of shape self on center. However we did outshoot them and had a number of shots off the iron.
Game Summary: (Caraher style)
1st Period
1:53 Maroons GOAL Scored by #3 Ginsberg assisted by #32 Warsett. 2:17 Maroons GOAL Scored by #10 Diamond assisted by #9 Fogel. Not exactly a quick start. 9:03 Maroons GOAL Scored by #8 Heilichar unassisted. A bad start, but we started to clot the last 5 minutes of the period. Maroons 3 Knights 0
2nd Period
:08 KNIGHTS GOAL!! Scored by #12 Steve Parry(1) assisted by #9 Wes Colborn(1). Wes stepped around the center from the draw went in, shot and then centered the rebound to Steve who scored his first career goal. 1:30 Maroons GOAL scored by #32 Warsett assisted by #35 Kalb & #1 (what a bad number for a nongoalie) Hebert. Completely my fault, I had 32 to the right of the net and he was quicker to a loose puck than me. ick. 4:12 Knights Penalty #19 Al Prokott 2-min interference. Oops I don't think we practiced the penalty kill yet. 5:51 Maroons PP GOAL scored by #9 Fogel unassisted. Ugly penalty kill, forwards playing low, d playing high, never got a good deep clear or line change. Some minutes later some penalty was called on some maroon guy but it somehow never made the scoresheet. 9:26 Maroons penalty, bench minor for too many men. I think the first guy came out of the box too soon. Two power plays in a row and no goals. 15:27 KNIGHTS GOAL Scored by #12 Parry(2) assisted by #48 Arlan Miller(1) and#27 Dan McKinnon(1). I'm not sure where their team was on this one. I made a move on a d at their blue line and was in clear but I coughed up the puck, I stopped to get it and I see Steve following the play. He and Arlan both had possession and shot it past the goalie and Steve pushed a sitting rebound into the net. 16:30 KNIGHTS GOAL Scored by #8 Knight (not named after the team) Jensen(1) assisted by #9 Colborn(2). Good pressure and possession in the zone and good pass to Knight in low slot. Maroons 5 Knights 3
3rd Period
2:59 Maroons GOAL scored by #9 Fogel assisted by #7 Frommstein & #12 Thiede. Breakaway, I covered Jensen on the point and let the guy get behind me and realized I have no make up speed. Pretty much then on, we carried a lot of the play, but the game's scoring was complete. We had a couple of metallurgy saves and a couple missed nets, but no love. 16:00 Maroons penalty #21 Kohn slashing minor. Final score Maroons 6 Knights 3
Three Stars: #3 Maroons G #31 Qualy(and his pipes) #2 Knights #12 RW Steve Parry (2 Goals) #1 Maroons #9 Fogel (2G 1A)
I finished a -2 with 2 SOG. I probably won 70% of my faceoffs, which is fun. I think we have a solid team and I think this will be a good, competitive team and a fun bunch of guys and Kristel to skate with. Next up, the ice dogs or hounds or something like that.
