Due to the unusual ice times this fall season, each team played their second and third games respectively this past week. How did that factor into this week 2, but also sort of week 3 MCHL rewind? Read below to find out!
Top Goalies:
-Benny and the Net: Corazon Goalie Benny Diedrich continued his hot streak facing 56 shots in 2 games and allowing just 3 goals. Even better for him, Corazon stays undefeated.
-No Swan Song Here: Puddler’s goalie Jack Swanson allowed 3 goals in 2 games. He also faced an absurd 102 shots and likely now has PTSD from getting pelted so often.
Top Performances:
-No Vander-missing the net: Nick Vandermissen came one goal short of an Ovechtrick (that’s nine goals) in Loomis’ win against BelAir on Monday. Really makes you wonder if he’s even trying out there. He’s got 11 goals on the season.
-It Was All Yellow: Looking faster than ever in those mismatching urine-stain-yellow colored jerseys, Clarke Moberg took a leak all over Elwood’s in a 4 goal, 2 assist performance as Corazon won 9-1.
-Budd Light: It was a complete game for Amorphic’s Michael Budd, who scored a goal in all three periods en route to a 4 goal, 1 assist night. The final result, a nice 6-3 win over Keystone Click.
-Sharing is caring: Stephen Richardson (Corazon) and James Ober (Elwood’s) both went apple picking as they each had three assist games this week. Richardson in the win over BelAir, Ober’s was in a loss to Loomis.
Top Teams:
-Corazon - 3-0 - They've won each of their games by at least five points, as the taco men keep rolling.
-Loomis - 3-0 - Last season’s champs have had a flare for the dramatic, winning both games this past week in comeback fashion by one goal.
Other notes from around the league:
-Goalie Carousel?: Keystone has used three goalies through three games. Is it due to inconvenient scheduling or internal locker drama? Because we’re always farming for likes, we’ll just say it’s the second option. Drop your hottest conspiracies about Keystone's goalie situation in the comments below!
-Unoccupied Sin Bins: Through three games, James Ober, Jeremy Hogan and Sam Gargulak lead the league in penalty minutes at 4 each. Surprisingly low numbers. Has Billy gone soft on us?
-George-ous Two Goal Game: George Bluvas scored twice in Water Street’s 3-2 victory over Keystone, and they’re offering a special this weekend at the Brewery to celebrate. Buy two beers at regular price and sit there thinking about George’s brilliant night while you drink them.
