Unfriended Muzzle Hounds
Team Unfriended won a very close and hard-fought game 6-5 versus the Greyhounds on Sunday night at the MSA. Sean Yemen had a hat-trick (including a shortie) in the contest and some last-minute theatrics by Ryan Yemen and Joey Blom put the game away for Big Blue.
The Greyhounds got on the board first at 15:18 of the first when Kim Peters came streaking down the left wing and threw a desperation shot from the goal-line that just squeaked past Blue netminder Seamus Moody on the blocker-side. Unfriended's Sean Yemen answered back at 5:47 with a quick wrister that beat White's goalie Tina Kirkaldy. Blue went up one at 3:16 when forward Rob Lovaglio fed the point and D-man Dalton Ford threw a slow, flat shot towards the goal that somehow snuck past Kirkaldy through the 5-hole. The Hounds evened the score 30 seconds later when Kenny Lohr ripped a shot that hit Moody in the chest and deflected in. Sean Yemen put TU back on top 3-2 with a SHG that blew past Kirkaldy with just 5 seconds remaining in the first. SOGs in the first period were 10-6 in favor of Team Unfriended.
White's Eric Sawyer scored a PP goal early in the second period to knot the game at 3. Two minutes later, Blue's Dean Bender took a pass from Ford and fired a shot through traffic that beat Kirkaldy longside. At 7:11, Sean Yemen got his third goal of the night off a shot from blueliner Tony DiOrio. The third period ended 5-3 in favor of Unfriended. Shots were 23-12 in favor of TU.
The Hounds continued to pressure TU in their own zone and managed to generate just as many SOGs on Moody in the third (12) than they did in the first two periods combined. At 9:52, Bryan Yeago took advantage of some sloppy defensive play deep in the Blue zone and wristed a shot through traffic that snuck past Moody to close the gap. At 5:56, White's Lohr came streaking in and, despite the puck being knocked off his stick in the crease, he managed to get a second whack at it that caused the puck to bounce, roll up Moody's arm, over his shoulder, and in. The Hounds had tied the game 5-5.
As the final minute of play was winding down and OT was looming, Big Blue's grind line rushed the puck into the OZ. With pleads of "SHOOT!" coming from the TU bench, Ryan Yemen drifted left through the Hounds' slot, drew two defenders, and dished a beautiful behind-the-back, no-looky pass to a criss-crossing Joey Blom, who wristed it high past Kirkaldy on the glove-side with 54 seconds remaining. White pulled their goalie and skated 5 for the remainder, but time ran out and the game ended 6-5. TU went 0/1 on the PP, 4/5 on the PK and outshot White 32-24 in the contest.
